I’m not sure how much of a spoiler it is but according to tvline the title of the How I Met Your Mother Season 6 Finale is, wait for it….
…. still waiting?….
“Challenge AccepTed”
Here is the full Q&A from there on HIMYM:
Question: Is How I Met Your Mother going to show us the “Mother’s” face in the season finale? Or are they going to make that the cliffhanger? —Matt
Ausiello: No idea. I bet if we knew what the title of the episode was we could extract a clue or two from it. THIS JUST IN: I can exclusively reveal that the title of How I Met Your Mother‘s sixth season finale is… “Challenge Accepted.” What does it all mean? I believe that’s what God invented comments sections for.Question: Tell me something about How I Met Your Mother that doesn’t involve the mother or the mystery wedding. —Jill
Ausiello: The gang will suffer another devastating loss later this season. Hint: For the past six years, it’s been more up-close and personal with their privates, in particular their butts. I’m talking about their booth at MacLaren’s! A new group of friends enter the pub and steal their coveted perch. Cue World War III.
Does that mean anything to you? Could it provide clues to the wedding, the mother, Barney, Robin? What coudl it all mean?
Use the comments section appropriately.
I think it has to do with Ted wearing the green dress in glimpses of the future from episode 6×11 “The Mermaid Theory”. Yes, Lily was pregnant in those glimpses, but with the way this show deals with time, they can easily get her pregnant between now and episode 6×23, and then move things along quickly.
Thats preposterous..i think barney wil accept d challenge of gettin in serious relationship with nora..
I think, “challange accepted” sound like barney. Maybe his decision that he accepts the challange of having a good relationchip?
We all know that Barney never turns down a challenge. And that the episode will probably involve the wedding. So I’m just spitballing ideas here but maybe it’s Barney’s wedding? It sounds really unlikely, but we all saw the way Barney was like with Nora in the last episode, so maybe it’s possible.
How about this ?
Everyone knows “Challenge Accepted” sound like Barney and maybe the writers (as they’ve done until now) mess with our heads.
So, it may be someone else…just saying 🙂
Doesn’t have to be a wedding, it’s waaaay too soon to make Barney marry. Maybe it takes Barney some time to win Nora back, she still has to find out about his womanizing life before he met her, so it’s possible she doesn’t immediately say yes if he asks her out again. Maybe she becomes part of the gang first, gets to know the “other” Barney, which will take several episodes until Barney and Nora rekindle their relationship and become serious in the season finale?
Maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with Barney. The writers lately have been messing with us a lot, especially in the titles… “Bad News,” anyone? Maybe it has to do with Robin, she’s been known to say that too…I don’t know it just seems like it would be too ridiculous if it was Barney’s wedding already, and I know Ausiello has already told us that the wedding will happen at the end of the season, so it’s probably not Barney’s.
How about this…?
Barney and Nora may not be together because Nora does not trust him, instead Barney and Robin may kiss in the season 6 finale as the feelings for each other resurface. It may not be sure that if they get together and they are more committed this time.
As for Lily and Marshall, they may be announcing that Lily is pregnant.
And maybe the story of the yellow umbrella is told.
[:p]
maybe nora and barney never get back together, instead it was robin? that would sound believable
I think, or rather hope, that the challenge in question will be to string together the series of events that have thus far ensured Ted’s meeting of the mother (who I theorize is named Tracy). Several events have been mentioned as crucial to their meeting, like his helping Stella and Tony get back together. How does it all lead to some mystery wedding? Well, we won’t know for at least 2 more seasons but we at least deserve a hint for hanging in there this long.
i Think the show has become extremely ridiculous they just keep procrastinate the show is already dead after season four and they have to end it because even the characters’ way of laughing has become so repeated i hate to say this im huge fan of HIMYM but now it suck maybe 1 or 2 episodes in the whole season is funny after season four, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is just brilliant , excuse my bad english i’m not american
It almost seems to obvious for it to be Barney. He probably has something to do with it, like initiating the challenge. I think this one has more to do with Robin; I kind of feel like I haven’t seen enough of her.
ok lets review the facts: in season 6 is gonna be a wedding : that wedding it is punchy wedding 99% sure.from 17 episode we found out that ted will not marry zoey .is clearly that ted meets the mom(tracy) at that wedding , lily will get pregnant this season , ted meet tracy , barney end up togheter with robin or nora .
i don’t think it’s barney, i think it is robin. She told ted that if she ever got married, that he would be her best man and if anything went wrong, to keep her straight (Lily said “best man, your being summond”). I heard that barney’s dad will be back and so will nora, but barney’s dad will cause something in their relationship. My guess? either bring them together or they are acually related 😉
oh my god! i think you’re right1 we never got to see the faces of the parents of nora
thats a good guess….. n maybe ur right…
I think Barney will eventually end up with Nora (she’s in season finale’s credits on imdb), so I think the title considers him, accepting the challenge to hook up with Nora and trying their relationship to work.
The wedding on which Ted is the best man got to be Punchy’s (as @waddup mentioned)
actually it shows there faces just shortly after it show barney standing back at the door, just before he walks away. They still could be related though.
I agree with toxicbeaver. It makes more sense to it being Barney chasing after Nora. Last night, his father said “Commitment can be a challenge.” CHALLENGE! “A magician never reveals his secrets. But here’s a hint: you gotta find the right girl. Who knows…maybe you’ll meet her tomorrow.” Barney replied as if in a trance, “Maybe I’ve met her already.” CHALLENGE ACCEPTED? That’s Barney’s challenge, to take a chance with Nora.
I think it’s going to be Cindy’s wedding. Why else would his future wife be there….
Okay just kidding.
I think its Punchys wedding
punchy asked ted to be his best man so it’s obviously punchy’s wedding
Robin asked Ted the same thing, they writers jsut like playing with us. Could it be Punchy’s sure, could it be Cindy’s, possibly, Robin? It’s a mystery without some more clues.
The summary for next weeks final episode is this…”
Barney and Robin bond while intervening in Ted’s relationship; Marshall fears an impending bout of food poisoning; Ted acts as best man in an important wedding.”…
it says Barney bonds with robin…could it be their wedding??
They say it’s going to be a future wedding and Season 7 is going to be how it got to that point. It’s also known that whomever wedding it is something goes wrong and the couple end up breaking up. So if it is Barney and Robins we now know there is no happily ever after for the BarRo camp.
That makes me a happy person. Barney and Robin were a pairing that was built more for comedy than for longevity.
punchy is getting married in ohio so i doubt the whole crew would be there too @ dude
I think the wedding will be Barney’s, but it is a wedding happening in the future. They could possibly show the wedding, and then show Barney standing at the alter with the bride coming to him, but the identity is unknown and the episode will end. Lily will also discover she is pregnant in the episode. Next season could be built around Nora becoming closer with the group, and Barney forging more of a friendship with her, and also becoming close again with Robin, making us wonder which one he actually marries. The season could also be built around Lily’s pregnancy progressing.
The episode is about Ted seeing Zoey again, and thinking about getting back together with her. Marshal fears that he could have food poisioning, but I think we are gonna find out that Lily got sick because she’s pregnant. Barney and Robin bond. SPOILER* Neil said in the the episode you think Barney and Robin ar gonna get together again, but then, Nora shows up, and Barney’s smitten again.
I think it’s barney’s wedding. and yep i’m right muahahha
the best man at the end of season 6 is ted right? well season 6 episode 09 ted buddy from high school asks ted to be his best man at his wedding so there for that whos wedding they are at it makes since i mean barney isnt just gunna rush into things with nora hes gunna make them right.
I’m watching season 6 again, and the thing is in episode 6×12 Robin is asking Ted if he’ll be the best man to her. Now I’m started wondering that this is truly Robin and Barney’s wedding.
urghhhh i love this proggrame and i wwant to know the end but isnt barney supposed to be gettin married???????????????????????????????????????
