Just a few more detours requiring upper body strength, the weak will fall away, and we'll be watching the two teams of young, strong guys battle it out for the money, along with that rageaholic young guy who'll be dragging his rageaholic girlfriend across the finish line while she calls him names.
Yep, I bet Tyler and James are already planning the bender that's going to start about 7 minutes after they find a payday loan store in Midtown that will cash an oversize check for a million dollars.
That's what I predicted back on October 10th. Two out of three ain't bad. But I have to admit that my correct picks were very easy to make. In a million years I never would have picked Bama for the Final Three. It's not unusual for a much weaker team to squeak through, usually through some weird string of good luck emanating from bad racing. I thought either Bama or Rage Against the Machine were doomed when they opted for the dreaded "needle in a haystack" detour over a relatively straightforward physical challenge. That decision usually spells doom. But then it turned out to be really easy to find a clue in the pile of tomatoes. So, what seemed like a bad decision led to a good outcome, and the DOA Blondes (who weren't given any obvious opportunities to overcome the half-hour non-elimination penalty) were out.
Obviously, the tomato fight detour was Comedy Gold, and I heartily thank that couple (What are their names again? Does anyone care?) for heading into the maelstrom. I also enjoyed dude's random emotional breakdown at the finish line. If they don't win the million, does that mean they won't get married? We can only hope. Regardless of the outcome, their bickering and Karlyn's personality disorder should make for an entertaining finale. And I'm sticking with my original prediction: Unless good racing brings bad luck and things get all messed up for reasons beyond the racers' control, the Junkies will win.
If Bama wins, I'll stop predicting forever.
