Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner crossed the finish line first on last night’s season finale of The Amazing Race All-Stars. Kudos to them, but…I can’t help but wishing that anyone else but these two won. Throughout the Race, Eric & Danielle whined a lot about how others treated them so unfairly like when Oswald & Danny yielded them for money or when the airlines kicked them off flights or didn’t ‘reward’ them with standby. Apparently, they figured the whole world was supposed to help them.

Eric also treated Danielle, at times, about as well as Jonathan handled Victoria. He yelled at her and verbally pushed her into doing things she didn’t wanna do. Sure, it’s all great now because they’ve got a million dollars.

Well, it shouldn’t be.

Eric & Danielle denied Dustin & Kandice, who proved to be the much stronger team throughout the season, their rightful crown. The former beauty queens came in first more often and only got sidetracked because of the stupid kayak challenge which totally favored a team with a man in it. D & K were supposed to be the first all-gal team to win the Race. Now, that’d have been sweet!

Even better would have been Charla & Mirna winning The Amazing Race. Charla as a little person overcame many challenges throughout the Race, not the least of which was Mirna’s constant nervous berating. These cousins fought hard and played intelligently. They found a better flight to Hawaii than the rest of the other teams to boot.

Charla and Mirna lost their first-place standing last night in a foot race. They never regained it.

The finale was pretty lackluster as was this supposed All-Star season. Maybe next year, I’ll watch Rob & Amber Mariano’s new series, a “competition reality show that will last over 100 days on all seven continents of the world.”

Maybe it will be what I’ve been hoping The Amazing Race would grow up to be. After eleven seasons, I think I’m tired of waiting.

How about you? Do you think Eric & Danielle should have won? Did you enjoy this season of The Amazing Race?
