One thing that has been super refreshing this season - apart from V&A - is how kind all of the pairs are within themselves. Like, yes, some brief frustration, but mostly they treat each other so respectfully and play on each others' strengths. Ricky and Cesar are like the definition of couple goals in how supportive and complementary they are of each other. I think that is one of the reasons that watching how Amber and Vinny interact is so jarring. I can't remember what episode it was, but I loved that Ricky and Cesar were talking about how much they were learning about each other and themselves and how to communicate, and then there's Vinny screaming at Amber about how she can't read a map. It actually feels a little deliberate on the edit. Like how Vinny was ripping into Amber in this last episode and then it cut right to the girlfriends talking about how the race was bringing them closer together. And then at the end mentioning that they had moved in together and had a baby. I almost expect that after V&A are eliminated there will be a little mention of V&A still being together despite multiple intervention attempts by their mutual friends and the producers of the show.

I also absolutely ADORE how Rod and Leticia treat each other. They are like #1 hype for each other at all times and so silly and funny. I don't usually root for a pro athlete but love seeing them succeed. yes! I always roll my eyes when professional athletes make it onto the show (expect the Harlem Globetrotters from a while back...I liked them a lot). But seeing how Rod is a confident and competitive but friendly guy who roots for his wife is really fun to watch. I loved his attempt at baseball while his wife just sat back and smirked. Totally agree. A huge part of his likability (aside from how sweet he is with his wife) is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. He took forever at that baseball task when he should have flown through it and he just took it in stride.

Spoiler alert: noooooooo! 😬 💍 Lol, right? But otherwise I'm very happy with how it all turned out. Survivor went the way that I wanted this week too, so it's a good CBS reality week for me!

I was happy with who won, but would have been happy if any of the other finalists had won.

This season was so anticlimactic. It didn't seem like anything was overly challenging. I remember seasons with ridiculous challenges. Like building a clock from scratch.

I actually just finished the season, that's how "meh" I was about all of it. Happy for the winners although I didn't mind any of the F3 teams.
Amber, why in the world would you say "yes?" Vincent criticizing her for how she responded to his proposal should have had her running for the hills.

ponyhairs , she's crying, emotional, hugging him, and he's barking "you STILL haven't ANSWERED me" and it's not said in a joking way at all. The look on his face was the same as when he was exasperated and chewing her out the eleventy million other times on the race. Also, he asked her, knowing it would be next to impossible for her to say "no" with cameras rolling and it would be very unlikely TPTB wouldn't have chosen to share the proposal, regardless of her answer.
