You are aware it was a two-hour finale, right?

TiVo should have known that it was two hours. If the recording was manual or there was a conflict because of the double episode though....

But the girls should have crossed the finish line about ten minutes before the top of the hour...followed by a brief interview with Phil and the other two teams following afterward along with the group photo, etc.

I can't imagine why Ron's machine wouldn't have caught the finish.

Exactly, as the bar tending task was pretty much first-in, first-out. I understand why they chose a selling task, with the possibility of being done quickly and out of there to avoid last place. I think what made it impossible, is the fact that they had to have customers change and try it on, in front of 2 guys.

Firstly, had no idea there was a finale. Was on vacation that week.

I have two Sunday recordings set up on my Tivo.


60 minutes is set for 2 hours because most of the time there is a game.


I also did the same for The Amazing Race. However, Tivo must have seen

this as a conflict and didn't record TAR at all.


So, I had to depend on the 2-hour 60 minutes overflow and that is all I got.


I will watch the finale online sometime this week.

I misread Ron's statement "additional 2:00 over 60 minutes" as two extra minutes padding past an hour. Obviously he meant two hours past that newsmagazine show with Andy Rooney.

Wow. Good going, Ken. I didn't realize that at all until I read your post just now.


Here's what I said a few posts ago:

I can't believe you missed the winning team finishing the race, Ron, if you had your Tivo set for two minutes after the top of the hour.

Sorry for the confusion, gang.


Perhaps I am wrong and it was only set for an hour padding

after 60 MINUTES.


All I know is that I got to the end of the first show where Justin

and Zev were eliminated and Tivo recorded no further than that.


Sorry for the confusion, but I set all this up months ago and

not certain how much padding I gave over 60 MINUTES to

compensate for sport events. Thought it was two hours, but

apparently, only one hour.
