The Amazing Race 12 Spoilers

[michael]

So now that we know that NATHAN AND JENNIFER WIN I say the pecking order goes something like this:

Kynt and Vyxsin (although I still think that the episode eight title could pertain to them)
Ron and Christina
F3:
Gramps
Rachel and TK
JenNate

[down_with_alli]

Oh HELL NO. Nate/Jen!?

Well at least that settles their whole "WE WANT TO COME IN 1st!" edit.

They don't win any legs until the last one. Now i'll just go slit my wrists now.

[serendipity]

oh, very sad to hear that Nathan/Jennifer are going to win... though I am not surprised that they would.

I think their edit now is like Freddy/Kendra, while TK/Rachel are Kris/Jon to me, so it makes sense if the outcome of this season will be the same as season 6.

[cinni]

   i am in official mourning now if this is true which i have little doubts that it is, sigh.

[mrspreacher]

This is definitely the truth?  Or at least the truth as we know it? 

I guess this will give us all time to get used to it before it happens.  This is a sad, sad day.  What bothers me the most is why can't the editors portray them as at least tolerable? 

[MamaTo4boys]

You know it probably IS true they win cause I seem to like all the teams that everyone else doesn't and they WIN!!! Hahaha! Or at least are in the F3.

Just you wait. I predict that their edit gets more and more positive as the F3 approaches.

[TARAsia Fan]

I still want as many of Jen's Death Stares as possible as long as she and Nate are in the race. They're the best. 

[anon1akacolby]

ugh.  no other comment than "ugh". 

 

[Belle Book]

You mean this isn't a joke?  It's real?!  If I was suicidal, I'd really be tempted to slit my wrists!  I simply can't stand Nathan & Jennifer!     I hope Puddin's wrong and they don't win!

Exactly - the write-up says that a normally bickering team works together well in Italy, which would be Nate/Jenny - that'll be the foundation for them to have a healthier relationship through the race all the way to the finish line  Pretty much like when Kendra won.

The alternative is that everyone else gets more of a loser edit - Nick/Gramps bickering, Kynt/Vyksin hitting the skids - it would be tough with Ron/Chris given their reconciliation and for TK/Rachel given their...blandness and general niceness towards each other.

[Belle Book]

Initially when Puddin said that Nathan & Jennifer won, his/her "Muhahaha!" bit convinced me it might just be a joke.  But now that others are thinking it's serious, I must ask Puddin what evidence there is that actually suggests a Nathan & Jennifer win. 

I guess I'm just finding it very hard to accept that a team I so thoroughly dislike might actually win.  Sure, there have been teams I didn't like a whole lot, but I wound up accepting it largely because I didn't see the people as complete asses or bitches.  In fact, while I didn't like Freddy & Kendra (whose win most people are comparing to a possible Nathan & Jennifer win) and I certainly didn't like Kendra's attitude in Senegal, I didn't hate them half as much as Jonathan & Victoria, so I was able to accept their win more easily.

Evidence? Well ...I don't have pictures, I wasn't there as in "not" an eyewitness, but what I do have is a reliable source that passed something onto me.

[michael]

puddin we want photos, arrival of the teams, AND if possible a video of them checking in! 
no I'm joking, obviously, but can relate to Belle Book desperately hoping it is wrong.

[apskip]

Belle Book, please note that puddin has over 50,000 posts on RFF. She is the moderator for The Amazing Race and she has an incredible track record over the years of preciting what happens in Amazing Races. In addition, she was the author of the infamous BootList for AR11(All Stars) which was unfortunately all too accurate.

There is nobody that has more credibility on predictions than puddin. The old phrase "when E.F.Hutton talks, people listen", is transposed here into "when puddin predicts, take it to the bank."

[Red Devils]

Puddin..... for as long as I have reading your posts for TAR ALL STAR and TAR 12, I place my trust on your source.

However, it will be awfully NICE if we have even a slightnest of evidence in the upcoming days.... I guess that will satisfy everyone

As for "I hate you with a passion" winning, personally I am not as disappointed as Belle Book is.. I think Belle Book is upset cuz of what was a complete "a$$clown" image of Nate/Jen. But I think this is mostly due to the editing of CBS. If we look closely into the Inside Videos, most of the Videos show that they are just normal couples. So I guess the bickering part (which was/are going to be Single out by CBS) aren't that unacceptable afterall if you factor those clips in.

My 2 cents

[bingo]

i mean i hate to not support Puddin, but just to give us all hope isnt the winner supposed to be "surprising" by what Lorena and Jason said, Phil also said how this is one of the best seasons, and how he said "any team can win" and i dont see how Nate/Jenn winning supports any of that. 

I'm just going to say it Ron and Christina win.

[TARAsia Fan]

Pretty much like when Kendra won.

I do not refer to this woman by name. From now on, please refer to her as Jabba the Hut.

If you keep telling yourself that you might actually think it's going to happen only to have it ripped away from you due to a stupid "safe" task in the final city causing the team that was in first to fall into second place and then losing.

What "safe" task? All-Stars ended in Guam, Michael There was no kayaking or safes, only orienteering and plane washing 

I get and love puddin's credibility but I understand where Belle is coming from, especially given the odious winner - much like on ANTM where there was a pretty big spoiler midway through the competition which unfortunately turned true. Still, pictures and video wouldn't hurt

[patlini]

I guess if Puddin had said that the winners were anyone else but JenHate, then we wouldn't want proof and would believe her.

I have come round to the idea of them winning now.  Not happy but c'est la vie.

And although they get odious edits on the show on the insider videos they don't seem that bad (can't believe i'm typing this)

maybe this next episode will be the start of a turnaround in their relationship.

[yikes]

It can be surprising that the team that is the most hateful towards each other somehow manage to win.  The other 4 teams, with some varying degrees of bickering, are pretty solid in terms of their relationship.  Those two just yell and screech.  The "we wanted to be first!" debacle seems to be a foreshadowing as to what's to come, and that can include a turnaround in their racing.   Sure I would love to have prrof.  But I've been reading spoilers here for a longer than I've posted here and I normally take her word for it. 

[MamaTo4boys]

I really do think that im the only happy one with the final three I like the grandpa and I like Jen/Nate. Maybe with the fights they got it out of their system and knew they could win this and decided to work together. I def. believe the spoilers here, I love it!

Actually, Apskip, I'd be more willing to believe Puddin if her source had named any other team.  If the source named Kynt & Vyksin, Rachel & T.K., Ron & Christina, or even Nicholas & Donald as the winners, then I'd go along with it.  It's just that the source named Nathan & Jennifer as the winners!  It's just too much for me to accept without a massive struggle!  I guess I'm just going to hope the source accidentally misled her for once.  I just can't accept the alternative.  Sorry.

If you're referencing my comment, I was being sarcastic. I haven't accepted it yet (much like last time) but...yeah, they win (paddles up The Nile, waving at Chip/Kim in the process). What I would like to know is if their relationship is so healthy, then why make it look like they're about to break up? No redemption edit can cover how much J/N sucked in the beginning (spitting on the ground, calling the other girls bitches, etc) or their clear distate for each other at times ("DONT COMPARE ME TO OTHER GIRLS!" "I hate you with a passion" and the like).

I'm anticipating the turnaround of their relationship to start next episode. I also expect them to not get first until the final leg (or the first part of a TBC).

So from all the focus on the Goths, could that mean that Ron/Christina get philiminated next? They get hit with a speed bump and the possible delay puts them in last.
