Why is it rigged? They won when it counted, at the end. That last challenge was tough and the smartest team won it.

We watch this show every year. I was on board with the Beekmans for the last leg.

By far the worst winners ever but I was glad. I hated all the other teams in it at the end.

I thought this season had the most likable set of racers ever. How could you not like the Chippendales? They were the humblest, most polite competitors in TAR history!

They were OK, I dont like the whole alliance deal. I thought they over did it a little with the sick parents and such. THis was never mentioned until the last few episodes.

I didnt like the other couple and the Indian girls since they stole that money from the old rock and roll guys.

This would be the Beekmans. There is no way they should have ever made it that far. Terrible racers.

No, I found them to be whiney bitches for the most part.

What was up with the Shri Lanka twins hating the Beekmans so much? What the hell did they do to them?

I agree. They never should have won the race and it does bring into question the validity of the race. It seems like they were playing up to the acceptance of minorities, which is the norm now, and I'm sick of it. I'm sure it won't hurt the show at all, but I won't ever watch AR again.

They hated any team that wasn't working with them, the Beekmans were the only team left for them to aim it at.

Last night was the only episode that I watched this season, but I was surprised they didn't make a bigger deal out of the girls only referring to the Beekmans as "the gays." I would imagine if that was how the guy from Texas referred to them, it wouldn't have gone over so well.

"evil gays" the Shri Lankans called them
My wife and I always watch & always complain about who wins
I guess they have us hooked
We love watching the destinations travelled

I thought the Beekmans winning was Karmic justice for the other 3 teams that formed an alliance. I liked the chippendales but their only fault was u turning the one couple because of which the Beekmans remained alive.

If they had played the game individually instead of aligning with the annoying twins, they would have won.

most aggravating team ever!!! My God.

But yeah, the best team was the one that got U-turned by the Chippendales, but at least they seemed to feel bad for it.

I am just glad those sri lankan's didn't win.

I'm shocked at some of the things the twins said. Pretty inappropriate.

I didn't hate the goat farmers but they definitely did not deserve to win. Same with the 2 black chicks on the all-star season a couple of seasons ago.

The twinnies injected life into the show and were always good for some laughs. Oh, shut up you evil gays. Nadiyah, you are the worst partner evah. No, you are the worst partner evah. We killed that bitch, etc. Course it has to be said with the accent.

Otherwise there are too many whiny azz personalities on the show. We were pulling for the twinnies or Chips. Yet another example of finishing, not just getting there.

It made for good TV. The Sri Lankans were excellent manipulators and tried playing mind games. They were also very annoying and hard to root for. Their problem was their driving and navigational abilities which ultimately lost them the leg they were eliminated.
