The finale commentary for this season from Jonathan Baker and David G. Taylor.

"Ever since the beguiling innocence of the fall of 2001, I have loved The Amazing Race much like I adore my boyhood leather-moccasin wallet its edges frayed and unraveling that I keep tucked-away in the back recesses of a desk drawer. What I am trying to say is that my familiarity with the Race has become almost embarrassing. I can admit, surely, to being awestruck by the Survivor series, its pop-culture sway unquestioned within America's media gulch. Yet with The Amazing Race and a faraway Pit Stop leered-over by Phil Keoghan and all the rest I feel, somehow, this is my deep home. My strange attraction is in many ways indescribable. Like love. And perhaps like my lingering delight for that shuttered wallet. So, at different times through the thick and thin of the Race I will feel happy and fleetingly sad... each spasm a highly personal impression.

Satisfied and damped-down with regret... ah, with this The Amazing Race: Family Edition and all it took me through... the soaring good and the pathetic bad... And all the rest. I say "pathetic" bad (and I say the "lonely" Finale) mainly because of what I witnessed on Wednesday's post-Finale million-dollar-check giveaway spectacle on The Early Show. Not too many Seasons ago this morning-show segment welcomed the entire team roster, usually outside the CBS studios in New York City. The top three teams, as expected, would be placed on a riser in front of the other eliminated teams, these lucky six contestants getting the benefit of short personal interviews. Nothing fancy, mind you, but minimally acceptable. ...."
