The Amazing Race *SPOILER ALERT*

Were any other Amazing Race junkies as bummed as we were to see the Globetrotters eliminated last week...? Best team EVER! The tears just won't stop flowing over here....

Especially because, MAN, it was such an easy task! And they weren't the only ones to struggle with it, either.... So they have five letters—FIVE—that they need to unscramble into some sort of word. They're in Prague. They don't know if the word is Czech or English or what, but I do think they had "Kafka" as a clue at some point.

The five letters are: Z F N R A

Never mind that within about two seconds you should be able to deduce that A is the middle letter, and in another two seconds figure out that the two pairs of consonants that make the most sense together are FR and NZ. Even if you have to make a list of every single possible combination, this takes, at most, five minutes...? I made the following list in three. And I put in bold letters any one that maybe, maybe could possibly be a word.... You'll see I was most generous with this.... :)

By my very liberal count, there are 11 possibilities. And only one when you consider that as soon as you write down FRANZ, it should be obvious! But people spent hours on this! Poor things....

And poor us, most of all, who lost Big Easy and Flight Time, the best contestants ever, ever, ever. Tears, tears.

Blame Kafka! Boo! :)
