This post will spoil the winner of TAR for you, so if you haven’t seen it, don’t read any farther! Because it was epic, and I have to type a lot of words now so that I do not spoil it on Twitter so I will just say that this was by far my favorite episode of The Amazing Race Ever!
I love this show and it is always more fun when the people on the race include contestants from my favorite reality show, Big Brother. Even if this season it was the villains from Big Brother 19, Jessica and Cody. I hope I have typed enough now so as not so spoil anyone.
It was a great season over all because Cody was a really good guy on the entire show and was incredibly patient with Jessica. I also liked how he always was very polite to all of the people in the roadblocks. Jessica was a bit bitchy with some of her competitors but mostly it was in an attempt to keep her position in the race.
So I was a bit shocked at how hard I was rooting for Cody and Jessica each week. They were the frontrunners for almost the entire race. Cody seemed to be carrying most of the load many weeks, but in the end, Jessica was solely responsible for solving an extremely difficult puzzle against a Yale grad and another young woman who was very smart all season. So she definitely pulled her weight.
Of COURSE my fucking TV decided to have an Emergency Broadcast Test at the very end and I missed the part where Jessica solved the puzzle but…
CODY AND JESSICA WON THE MILLION DOLLARS! And they were recently engaged.
I can’t believe how happy I am for them! Big Brother usually has an Amazing Race team and these two were I believe the first to ever win. SUCH A GREAT SEASON! Did you watch?
So happy for Jess and Cody! Never watched TAR before. I tried but just could not get into it until this season. TT you are right–this was EPIC!
Apologies if you saw Marsha Marsha Marsha’s post where she took the opportunity to spoil another show. She’s in moderation where she will merely continue to spoil things just for me, since she’s already blown my experience.
Oh Tamaratattles I Live for ur site, Im actually Lol 😄😅😊
Thanks for being careful to put enough words ahead of the spoiler info!
I just finished watching on the west coast.
Great episode!!
Not a Mess can but they were great racers, and Cody was especially amazing.
That was quite a last task and a really interesting group of tasks.
I hope he sets his daughter up well with some of the winnings. She just be so excited seeing her dad win.
My TV also decided it would need an EBT. They had the consideration to do it on a commercial break though. I was like, really? Almost 11pm and you couldn’t wait until midnight? Love love loved the show and so glad they won! I honestly was watching just for them and also was rooting for Team Indy. Evan drove me nuts through the whole race. Poor Henry.
Arrgh. Jess fan
just be
Just heard on the news (LA) that Cody wants to have 10 kids. Jess wants 4!
They had a viewing party in LA.
They looked super happy.
My favorite show! What a great finale too. Anyone of the teams could have won. I have a tendency to root for TAR teams that have already appeared on other reality shows, like Rob & Amber from Survivor (TAR S7). They’re just smart players and focused competitors.
Fantastic finish! Super glad Yale didn’t win. I did like the X Games gals though.
Yay for Cody & Jess, and yes, I REALLY didn’t want Yale to win.
Poor Henry.
Get away from her.
I can’t imagine having to hear her tell him he has to communicate better ever again.
“Henry I spoke to you 7 times and 7 times you didn’t reply!”
I love this show and I loved this season! I am happy for Cody and Jess and would have been happy for the couple from Yale too. That’s part of what was so amazing about his season is there were 4-5 teams I liked and would have been happy had they won and that’s rare.
Awesome finish!
Yay for Cody & Jess, and yes, I REALLY didn’t want Yale to win.
Poor Henry.
Get away from her.
I can’t imagine having to hear her tell him he has to communicate better ever again.
Useless Jessica? If she weren’t pretty, she’d be dumped by now. Not a credit to her gender, Cody did all the work. But she got a ring out of it so she’s prob over the moon. Couldn’t do fortune cookies as well as he did–she was so phony egging him on, her MRS degree in the back of her mind the whole time. yuck
Indy drivers are not smart–Conor esp. My Lord, he couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag. and he gave up like a ton of times. oh and smug…..I have people who do this for me. Who says that? Not nice, not gracious, not smart.
Henry-polite, smart and gracious, his partner–not.
Xgames-smart. strong level heads
Jessica pulled her weight and if it wasn’t for her, they wouldn’t have won the million dollars. Jessica did the first road block – which was that scary climb. Happy that they won and mazel tov on their engagement.
At least Jess didn’t spend the entire race scolding Cody on tv and then saying how bright they were.
The Amazing Race is one of my favorite shows on TV. It’s the only reality show that I can watch my 12 year old son. He’s loves these type of competition shows but most of them have some level of sexual innuendos especially MTVs The Challenge. So TAR is “our thing” we loved it more on Sundays or even Friday’s and I was worried that it may have run it’s course since they combined the last several episodes into 2 hour blocks.
He was rooting for Team Yale
I was Team Xgames or Team Indy (the dumb one was hot)
Cody was awesome and Jess seemed like a mean girl. But Evan was the worst. I felt so bad for her when she chipped her tooth on the sail boat; but they were definitely a strong team.
I loved the ending and very happy for Cody and Jess . He was hurting at the end . That puzzle sure had them all about ready to throw in the towel ……..pretty intense when we as viewers couldn’t really see the puzzle pieces that is my fav part when I can try to figure along with the players but oh well it was a very close race for first..
PS I can see CBS asking James and Mark or Brandi and Ari for next season’s Amazing Race
I’M SO HAPPY! This was the best by far Amazing Race season! I have to admit I was rooting for Cody all along. I really think he was just completely out of his comfort zone locked up in a house with a bunch of people doing nothing all day and his “social game” is far more what you see is what you get than anything. I’m truly happy for them both! On the other side, my opinion of Jess completely changed. I thought she was rather ick on BB even though I saw she was smart. I have a lot more respect for her now. I, too, was going SHUT UP when female Yale kept shouting out for her partner lol.
