Almost one year ago! And nobody else posted! lmao! Are there anyone else here besides supergoten and I who still watches this? Cast for season 21 is up: www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_raceThe biggest twist this season is that the price is $2 million dollars!!! Personally, I think they should have brought back the big names for that one. Maybe an all-winners edition.

I don't think so. There are some "celebrities" / reality stars though, like the "Beekman Boys" who were on Discovery channel or something.

They really should have done the $2 million prize for all stars if they were going to do it but now BB really needs to catch up on the prize money

I still watch, but after All-Stars the show has gotten a lot worse for me.

I watch it, but I'm not a huge fan. I tend to miss a few episodes and then catch up on them all at once.

Just want to get this out there. My pick for the winner based on editing and gut feeling: the Indian (Sri Lankan?) twin sisters. I love Shanghai, but that seemed like a short leg. They didn't get to visit a lot of places. I hope they stay in China for the next leg. Would love to try the fallopian tube food lol. Why do the generic dating couples always get to win the good stuff? And they get to stay longer too. The "character" racers tend to get eliminated early on. (We just lost one character team). Hopefully some of the more colorful racers stay longer.

I don't like that the 2 million is only available to one team. Usually, the team who comes in first in the first leg is a boring dating couple, and look, it happened again.

I'm sorry but I couldn't have thought of worst winners for this race.

I'm sorry but I couldn't have thought of worst winners for this race. *scroll down* Personally, I think Eric/Danielle are still the worst winners. Hmmm, just realized some coincidences! 1. Both got super far behind the other teams. 2. Both didn't finish first until the Final leg. I was rooting for the twins first because I thought they were hilarious, but once they got eliminated I rooted for the Chippendales because they needed the money the most. The Beekman Boys winning though sends out a good message about not giving up and pushing yourself to continue even if life knocks you down.

Too bad there will always be an asterisk next to the Beekman's win, given they had 'assistance' with that final challenge. Will be curious to see if CBS keeps that info swept under the carpet.

I am confused what assistance did they get?

Yes, do tell about this "assistance".

The show was edited to look like it was very close. The goat farmers actually finished many hours before the Chipendale's (which would make sense if you already had the answers).
When production came up with the final Flag challenge, they tested it out on some of the eliminated teams. One of the teams that got to 'test' that last challenge was Abbie & Ryan. Apparently they slipped them the answers as a 'payback' to the Chipendale's. This was discovered much later, and for obvious reasons CBS is keeping everything HUSH HUSH. However the entire cast knows and it was discussed (big pow wow) during the closing party in NYC.

Wow, that is insane!!! I wonder if there will be penalties? Would the Beekman Boys not receive the full million? And how did Abbie/Ryan get to contact Josh/Brent? I thought the final 3 teams are separated from the decoys? Hopefully they talk about this in the future.

According to other cast members, they are being penalized (monetarily). I'm not sure of the details, or if CBS told other cast members to keep this quiet. I do hope we learn more about this. Apparently Ryan had the answers on a piece of paper which he quickly placed in the pocket of one of the Beekman's. It was during a quick exchange with other CBS production people and cast members present. I also thought the decoys were kept separate, but maybe they crossed paths briefly?? Who knows. Wow, that is insane!!! I wonder if there will be penalties? Would the Beekman Boys not receive the full million? And how did Abbie/Ryan get to contact Josh/Brent?

Abbie/Ryan should get a penalty in some form as well then too. Will they be sued? And did the cheating make a difference? How close were the Chippendales were behind the Beekmans? Where'd you see that at anyway?

They finished at least 4 hours ahead of the Chippendales. I don't know if the other team will be penalized in any way. I am guessing no, since CBS doesn't want this information leaked. Clearly it would compromise the integrity of the show if revealed to the public and media. Will hosted many of the teams at his hotel for the closing parties in NYC. It was the discussed all weekend by many of the teams. Abbie/Ryan should get a penalty in some form as well then too. Will they be sued? And did the cheating make a difference? How close were the Chippendales were behind the Beekmans? Where'd you see that at anyway?
