and so it ends

Well. It just wasn't in the cards for Kris and Jon, I guess. Freddy and Kendra just beat them out on that last leg, since they got on the same train off the airplane. That train crossing though-- that was just harsh. I guess it was a big "You are not meant to win this" signal or something.

However. Hayden's frustrations over the key thing, and Rebecca getting it at the last second? That was karma. I truly, absolutely believe that. That was karma for all of Hayden's nasty behavior and general not-nice-ness over the course of the race. And Aaron proposing to her, oh, Aaron, no, sweetie. The second he turned to Hayden, and that music started, we started screaming at the TV, "No! No! No! Don't do it, Aaron! Don't do-- OH NO!"

I did tear up when Kris and Jon made it to the end and they were talking about each other. They're just so *nice.* They're people I'd like to have as friends, you know?

Rumor on the web is that there was another task between the water tower and the pizzeria; teams supposedly had to find the location where Mrs. O'Leary's cow started the Great Fire. That's probably how K&J dropped back so far; finding information on that location may have made the difference.

Confirmation of that may be buried somewhere in the TarCON 6 thread on TWoP. They had a big party Tuesday night in some function room at Madiosn Square Garden that was attended by many racers, with the noticeable exception of Freddie and Kendra.
