Ditto. Did Brendan really think the cab driver was going to abandon two hot blondes to instead drive around the harpy Brenchels? Come on now. Cab driver is thinking with both of his heads. Did Brendan say something ridiculous like "I'll give you $20?" Just laughable. I believe that Brenchels were the only team that kept telling the cab driver that they were in a race for a million dollars. If Connor and Dave did so, I don't recall. But do teams really think that cab drivers care if they are racing for a million dollars? You've got cab drivers working long shifts and hustling just to make a buck, then you get two pompous hypermaniacs telling you to drive faster so they can win $1 million dollars in what must seem like a little treasure hunt to the cabbies. Now if Brenchel said, we promise you $20000 if we win, then sure, maybe that changes things. But $20? Come on now!

So just how exactly was the Copperfield illusion done? I guess the racers know. I suspect that they were out of the box even before they had to pick the lock. We didn't actually really see any of them picking the lock, just getting the lock pick out of that jar and taking them out of the package. There was absolutely no explanation at how to use the lock picks? I've used a lock picking kit before, so I think I'd know how to do it. But I don't believe that Rachel or the blonde girl would know how to do it so effortlessly. Pretty disappointing challenge, to have the incredible David Copperfield there and all you can muster is a boring, "Oh, look, I'm the fireman!" reveal and not something better. Pretty hilarious that Brenchel was telling the cabbie how to get to the Mirage. Seriously? You don't think the cab driver in Vegas knows how to get to the Mirage? Same thing with Dave and Connor, who looked absolutely puzzled and wondering if they were in the right place. I wonder if it was their first time in Vegas.

Like others here, I agree that it was such an underwhelming finale. Why no memory challenge? Very few opportunities in this leg design to get ahead, as the magic task presumably took about the same time (I'm guessing that everybody started with the first key and then went sequentially down the key ring and that the right key was at the same number for each ring), the lightbulbs - although could be screwed in a bit faster as evidenced by Dave and Connor passing the girls - had a fixed amount of time going up and down in the window washer thing, and then the helicopter leg certainly didn't allow for changing positions. As somebody else up ahead said, the key was Dave and Connor getting to the helicopters first. Although just barely. They both were reading the clue at the same time, was the order determined by who got through the door first? Or who got dressed the fastest? Never before have been I so satisfied seeing a team finish third as I was tonight when I saw Rachel bawling. I hope this is the last we see of her on tv... There's been a few comments about the show moving to Friday and this being the last season. Was this said in a preview at the end of the show? As soon as it ended, I deleted it from my DVR so I can't watch again. Has it been confirmed that this will be the last season?

I've just started becoming a regular watcher of Chicago Fire because of all the PD crossovers. Can somebody please explain how Gabby and Antonio are brother and sister? One must be adopted, no? I'd put money on it that Gabby finds a way to stay at 51. She's a series regular, can't be a regular if you're at another house all the time.

What a lame series finale. I don't think any viewers like cliffhangers, but that's the point of a cliffhanger - to get you so excited and on the edge of your seat that you can't wait until then next season starts in the fall. So I was kind of expecting one. But for this to end simply with Grover joining 5-0? Completely anti-climactic. Did anybody remember this hacking punk? I did once they mentioned who he was, but it's not like he was a major recurring character. You knew that the exchange wasn't going to happen, because there's no way this kid was going to walk away with $100 million dollars. I also don't understand how Wo-Fat found the daughter. Pretty clear that Catherine is gone. Aloha, Cat. Did a search on the internet and the rumors seem to be true. She was really marginalized once Kono came back. But I don't understand why there's not room for two women on the squad.

Anybody else catch CBS missing bleeping out Rachel when she said "We're F&^%#@*" when they were in the taxi with the cab driver who was lost and didn't have a smartphone? Rewound it twice just to make sure I heard what I heard. Now that the Cowboys are out, I'm not sure I really care who wins. All unattractive options to me. That carrying the ham to the store speed bump was one of the weakest ever. I think the bulls were just over the top. Serious risk for injury with how hard they were hitting. I think they could have just acted to slow them down, but to hit the racers so hard that they fall down and tumble head over heels? Just an unnecessary show of aggression.

I agree. Fire starter and some type of knife have become the Wheel of Fortune equivalent of "R S T L N E". These two items should be a given. Then let them each choose something else.

I do watch Chicago PD but just started catching a few Chicago Fire episodes this year. Did Erin and Severide hook up sometime on Chicago PD? Or is the backstory on Chicago Fire? What exactly happened? I can't remember seeing anything about it. There was an episode several weeks ago where he showed up at her apartment and she sent him home saying she had to wake up early.

I haven't seen Amanda Righetti on anything since some terrible show called the North Shore, or something like that. I was really confused because Imogen looks more like her daughter than her sister. She is a pediatric something, so she's got to be at least 30 years old. And Imogen is 9. 21 year age gap between siblings? Perhaps. But the parents didn't look near old enough to then be Amanda's parents. Unless I'm missing something. I love Erin. I never watched Chicago Fire regularly, so I'm not sure of the back story between her and Severide, but anything that gets Erin in sexy Erin mode is fine with me.

Agree that Shay was a complete idiot. I get that she wanted to be tough and do her job and help the injured, but come on, seriously? A deep puncture wound from a potentially rusty piece of rebar? A huge gash in her abdomen and she thinks she must hide it from everyone? Just stupid. Have there been rumors of a Chicago Medical spin-off? I thought the doctor was an arrogant prick who seems really tortured inside. Wouldn't watch for that reason alone.

Vince, meet Hubris. Hubris, meet Vince. Just how does Vince know he is one of the "world's top survivalists" or that he is one of the best in the world at making fire from two sticks? Is there some Super Bowl of Fire Making Sticks competition somewhere that I've never heard of? Really? He thinks he's better than the Australians and Africans living in the bush? Come on. That in itself was enough foreshadowing to let us know that he was going to tap out. Did it sound like there were sirens in the producer's car as they were taking him to the hospital? Was he in an ambulance, or just a car with some kind of siren light that they stuck on the roof? I think once you get to the hospital, no doctor is going to let the contestant go home. He/She is almost surely dehydrated, so that in itself would buy a hospital admission. Agree with the comments up above about his survival item being some fire sticks. What a douchebag. Why not just a firestarter? If he's so great at making fire from two sticks, then let's see him do it without perfectly round sticks and something to spin them on and see if he can make fire as easily. I'm really disliking the basic formula for these shows. Contestants get some kind of cutting tool and fire starter (unless your name is Vince). They spend time making the shelter. They get some tiny meal around day 10-14. Then they don't eat a substantial meal again for the rest of the time. If the contestants are true survivalists, don't you think at least some of the teams would be eating on a more regular basis.

Seems like now the "machete/hunting knife and the fire starter" are the special items that each team has. Sort of like "R S T L N E" for the final Wheel of Fortune puzzle. So why not at least give them something else that might be more remotely interesting to viewers? I think using the light on your camcorder to navigate through a dark cave is sort of cheating. Would be more authentic if they had to use torches, but I suppose for that they would need kerosene, which nobody chooses as their special survival item. Kind of a boring episode. They have the ready made shelter, they laid around or tried to find food for 16 days. Ate one snake. And then hiked out. Snoozefest.
