Well, as we all know, 2 comes right after 1, and I am pleased to announce that I finished second in the TV.com Amazing Race Forum Game, despite an average placing of 2.33 on the 9 legs. I would like to take this moment to congratulate the winner TV_Super-Freak, and to announce that I will be back for season 2:). I'd like to thank all of my competitors for making this game even more fun, as to Gladysthegreat, who hosted the game. And now, here's a list of the second place finishers on the real life show, as I'm now in their company (Thanks to Super-Freak for the idea:)) TAR1: Frank/Margarita - A very good, consistent team. They and Rob/Brennan fought it hard up to the very end. I didn't like them at first, but as the race progressed, they began to grow on me. However, Rob/Brennan were the better team, and deserved to win. TAR2: Tara/Wil - The first truly dominant team. I hated them, but they were the top team, and while I disliked the far less-skilled Chris/Alex, I was pleased to see this team lose. TAR3: Teri/Ian - I didn't like these ones at all. They were weak and, until the Vietnam legs, very mean and spiteful to eachother. TAR4: Kelly/Jon - My least favorite team of the season. Did not dominate and only finished first once. It was so satisfying for me to see Reichen/Chip beat them after Jon kept making disparaging remarks about them. TAR5: Colin/Christie - Even though I hated them, they deserved to win. They had a record six first place finishes, and if not for a delayed flight, would have won. After Rob/Amber, they were the most dominant team in the show's history. TAR6: Kris/Jon - A very sweet couple who, despite their cute exterior, had 4 first place finishes and were one of two teams never to finish below 4th place on any leg. They not only dominated the competition, but they were just great people too. TAR7: Rob/Amber - The best team in the show's history. I did not like them at first, but as I realized that they were playing the game well, I started to like them. They were even better than Colin/Christie and would have won if that airplane hadn't returned to the gate. While I liked Uchenna/Joyce and wanted them to win, no one can deny that Rob/Amber deserved it more. TAR Forum: Jmarsh89 - A very strong team. He played the game right, and despite a sixth place finish in the fourth leg, dominated for most of the game. His average placing was 2.33, which was the highest in the game. Overall, I'm proud to be in the second place group. There are a lot of teams here who should have won, the obvious exeptions being Teri/Ian, Kelly/Jon, and, to some extent, Frank/Margarita. However, it feels great to be in the same breath of Rob/Amber, Kris/Jon, and Colin/Christie, the three strongest teams ever.
