In fairness to Burnie, I feel there’s very little advantage to playing the social game on the Amazing Race. Plenty of teams have made it to the Final Three despite alienating every other player (Joe & Bill, Rob & Amber) In addition, Team Squee simply got to Dana first. I certainly wouldn’t turn down an alliance with them if I were a weaker team.

I do to some extent agree–it’s not like ‘Survivor’, certainly, where the social game is everything and alliances are key. We’ve seen alliances backfire spectacularly on the Race (remember the plan to eliminate the Beekman Boys? Good times.) But in this case, I think Burnie was wishing he’d cultivated a little more enmity towards Team Squee, and it came out in his attitude.

For your reading pleasure before the finale: Why TAR28 has a weak final three, as shown with math. This isn’t a “playa hatred” thing . . . I tend to go nuts with numbers. I don’t think the season was a total failure, but I’m still hoping for a breakout edition. I’ll probably remember the winning team more than the victor of Survivor, unless it turns out to be Tai. If he’s not snapped up for a future season, Bert & Elise might want to get him and a partner racing.
