That's true, a final three is kind of nice to have just to narrow it down. It's like, "Four teams enter the Philippines, and 2 legs later, four teams leave the Philippines" At least one more team will be eliminated during the leg, and the finale will definitely be jam-packed. The Surfers are definitely my number 2 choice to win, and I personally think they have a very good chance of pulling it off. Man, how great an addition would that be to Bethany's portfolio...I didn't care for the ending to this. As much as I like the team that would have been eliminated, I really think it should have been narrowed down to the final 3. JMHO. Still hoping to see Bethany and Adam win this!
Completely agree! A great conclusion to a great season! (Any team winning really would be). I'll post my thoughts on it later onNot to spoil it for anyone, but great show tonight!
Its always fun to go back and look at my initial thoughts and predictions about the cast. 2/3 teams I predicted as the bottom I was right on, which I feel good about Shelly and Nici might have been the team that surprised me the most...they did slightly better than expected, and were very drama-initiating.Now seems like a good time to do so, I suppose! Obviously, after one episode I can't make too many judgments, but this is just based on what was from last episode and their interviews. I will post it in three sections, bottom, middle, or front of the pack as in where they will finish. Also, TAR constantly changes with non-elim legs and different challenges, flights, etc, so I will not be surprised to be completely wrong, but is also why I am placing them in segments
BOTTOM-who will be eliminated soonest
Lisa and Michelle- well, obviously
Shelley and Nici- They only finished ok in the last leg, and nothing about them tells me that they have some big skills that are going to do them well. I don't see a huge future in them, probably 1-2 more legs.
Michael and Scott- I really like them, but they seem to be that team that just is there to interest us in the beginning, but really isn't that great overall. I feel as though, from their actions on the first leg, that they will not have what it takes to keep up the endurance. (also, The Office anyone?)
Dennis and Isabelle- They seem to be one of the most prepared, and even skilled, but there is always the dating couple that goes out in the beginning surprisingly. There will come a challenge they just can't do, maybe even get into a fight as well. I think though that they may make it farthest of the other two up here
MIDDLE-who will do ok, and finish in the middle of everyone in the end
Brooke and Robbie- We didn't really get too much screen time for them, but I definitely see them getting into an argument. We may come to not like them, they may seem dominant, but will eventually be gone before we know it.
Amy and Maya- I really like these two, I do. They are there for fun. However, I think there will come a point where they simply will not have what it takes to beat out the few people in front of them, and they will deliver one of those emotional eliminations.
Tim and Te Jay- They came off strong, and I partially regret putting them here. However, this may not last long, and they may get into conflicts with others even, too, although I'm not sure. My guess though is that they will be u-turned and be eliminated then.
TOP FINISHERS-the teams that will go farthest
Kym and Alli- I don't really like them....much at all. But, they are strong team it seems, as cyclists able to have endurance, best friends have that connection that leads to good team work, and probably wont be afraid of being a bother to other teams.
Misti and Jim- Hmmm...not a fan of these guys either Very intimidating, but I again have to give props to this team because they were smart in how they handled situations in this past leg, good at problem solving and other challenges, and are just cockey enough to win. Also, the save thing couldn't hurt them
Keith and Whitney- Well, there always has to be the boring dating couple in the end I'm kind of kidding, but they seem to be. They will likely be a team that every other leg is either just barely surviving, or miraculously getting 1st or 2nd.
Adam and Bethany- I guess I like them, they are nice. They are strong, too, and I do not at all see the arm thing being a disadvantage. They have the spirit, and what a story this would be for her biography!
Alright, so we have some pretty good teams, and I still have no idea who will end up winning, but gun to my head? Kym and Alli take the money.
I don't know, I thought Bethany was ok.I was happy with the winners, particularly Maya, who expressed her love for the Amazing Race leg after leg. Always good when a real fan wins the race.
I was disappointed with Bethany for her non-reaction to the guy (who had just helped them) who recognized her and said his daughter was a big fan. She wasn't very gracious. By the end, her slow talking was driving me crazy, too.
Nonetheless, this was a very entertaining season.
Next season is a stunt season. It may work, it may be like the family edition (one and done). I'll still watch, no doubt. If the show really wants conflict, they would take potentially compatible couples and make sure they are not teamed together.
The sing-songyness of Bethany's voice was starting to get to me too. I thought the season was ok. Too many non elimination legs!I was happy with the winners, particularly Maya, who expressed her love for the Amazing Race leg after leg. Always good when a real fan wins the race.
