RNO Roundtable: Who Will Win ‘The Amazing Race 4’?

What are your overall thoughts about how The Amazing Race 4 has come to this point? Would you rate it better or worse than seasons past?

Betsy: This is actually the first season I've watched. Several of my friends urged me to check it out, and I absolutely love it.

Melinda: The thing that comes to mind with AR4 and with AR3 is that it’s getting very hard to tell some of the teams apart. This season we have a bunch of handsome 30-something guy and girl teams. Last season, we had a bunch of manic 20-something guy and girl teams. I need more diversity, if only to be able to tell one team from another! This is a big problem in the first few episodes when no one team gets a lot of airtime and things get very confusing!

Paris: Honestly, I think this has been the worst Amazing Race ever. I barely remember most of the eliminated teams and there are teams like "The Clowns" and "The Goats" and I don't even know their names or which ones they are. It's not that I've missed any shows because I haven't! This season has been lacking something and I don't think I can pinpoint it but, for me, it hasn't been as exciting as the other three.

Phil: I would have to say that it hasn’t been my favorite season, but I liked it more than the second. The first season will always have a special place in my heart because of teams like Nancy & Emily and The Frat Pack, Kevin & Drew. The third season gave me John Vito & Jill, along with Teri & Ian. This season I have Jon & Kelly and Reichen & Chip. The second season was OK, but nothing to rave about. I loved Team Cha-Cha, Danny & Oswald and Mary & Peach. However, that season seemed so predictable. I’d rate this season third overall.

Sting7: It was good season. Unfortunately, it took a while for the personalities of some teams to develop. That could be because some of the more compelling teams were eliminated so quickly. I STILL don't know the Goats well enough to remember their names!

What will be the order of finish for The Amazing Race 4?

Betsy: 1. Chip & Reichen – they are the best overall package of strength, intelligence, and strategy 2. David & Jeff – their physical strength will give them a slight edge over Kelly and Jon. 3. Kelly & Jon – I predict a tight race between them and the second place team, but with Kelly being physically weaker than the men and having a hurt hand (which she probably made worse by rapelling down the building), they will cross the finish line last.

Melinda: I think that Jon & Kelly and Reichen & Chip will battle it out neck-and-neck to the final pit stop like they always do, and Jon & Kelly will manage to slip past Reichen & Chip to win the race. The Goats will be a few minutes behind. On the other hand, if The Goats can keep from making any major blunders, I predict that they will beat Reichen & Chip at the end, leaving Jon & Kelly a distant third.

Paris: Congratulations Reichen & Chip, you are the winners of The Amazing Race! Jon & Kelly, you're team number two. David & Jeff, you're team number three. Congrats to all of the competitors this time around, they did an awesome job!

Phil: I think Kelly & Jon are going to win only because I’m hoping they do. Reichen & Chip will come in second and at a distant third, the Goats. I just don’t see David & Jeff getting themselves together enough to pull off the win. I’m sure they will get lost somewhere along the way.

Sting7: 1. Reichen & Chip 2. Jon & Kelly 3. The Goats
