To make errors in the last leg is horrible, but Josh and Brent held it together and didn't go into a meltdown. They were my favourites of the three teams left as well, but when I saw one of the challenges involved directions, I figured they were toast. Glad to be proven wrong, but I would've been happy with a Chippendale's win too.
Nadiya and Natalie became their own worst enemies in the last few legs, but they never pretended to be anything other than their self-serving selves. They lost a lot of fans during that money-grab fiasco. Strong team overall. In a weird way, if the Amazing Race ever did another reunion show (I normally dislike those), I'd like to see them on it. I'd be interested to see if some life lessons sink in.
The money-grab incident was very interesting for me. Self-serving is one thing, but having qualms and letting your better instincts be overrun by the moment is one with potentially longer after-affects (I'm speaking of Trey) and it's something you can't get back. The world watched him be convinced to take the less "socially acceptable" choice.
Good show. Amazing editing (as usual). There was a bit about halfway through the last hour where I went "are they foreshadowing a Josh and Brent win?".
