Topic: TAR 20 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**

except that racers can't reveal anything about their position??

Maybe Rachel called Kaylani at the Finish Line ala Eric/Danielle to Jeremy 

[Prophet]

Maybe But one would think that the receiver of the call would have signed something too. Who knows.

We're getting a lot of conflicting info right now so it's hard to tell for sure.

[TARG21]

What source?

to RFF!

Thanks! I would think Kaylani being a former racer and former friend of Rachel she would have a more reliable source than just anyone?

All I know is that Brenchel are in the F3 and they don't stand out for being strong racers like Dave and Rachel do. But I also know that anything could happen on that final leg that could switch things up.

I really have a feeling based from the edits that Dave/Rachel will take it but I don't know if TAR is trying to edit Brendon and Rachel as the underdogs that beat out the alliance that doesn't like them, either?

[Prophet]

The whole grapevine thing just bothers me. How would Kaylani be able to leak the winners on her show? IDK

[eddiethejet]

i cant reveal who my source is, but my source has been 100% solid so far and they are adamant that brenchel didnt win, but after reading all this, it has me wondering as well.  however, i believe my source since they have been spot on in the past seasons.

Eddie what is your magical "source"

[Prophet]

Similar to the "grapevine" I would guess.

[cattychic]

Wow , so we have "sources" saying Davechel won and "sources" saying Brenchel won. But no "sources" saying Art/JJ won........That's the best news i've heard all day !!

[Kandace]

Whats the grapevine

[Prophet]

i watched the video a few days ago, Kaylani said she 'heard it through the grapevine', and knowing that Kaylani used to be best friends with Rachel and talks about their friendship from time to time on the RTV recaps, im pretty sure she has a reliable source

regardless, i still have got my hopes for Davechel to win it all <33

Whats the grapevine

Grapevine: 
a. The informal transmission of information, gossip, or rumor from person to person.
b. A usually unrevealed source of confidential information.

I'm with you on the no sources for Art and JJ.    I find it hard to believe though that if you won the race you would risk everything by telling anyone.

Yeap.  But it's always difficult to keep the secret for a long time.  For example, in the last season of TARLA, four hours before to the broadcast of the final episode it was revealed in the web the identity of the winner team.  And the leak came from a source at the same country that team was coming from.

It's not that hard when there's a $5 million penalty on the line.

Just my 2 cents as to why this is a 2 hour finale, I think since Mark and Bopper are so well liked and I believe go out in 4th  and the other 3 teams (except for Brenchel lol) are either not really rootable (Art and JJ) and Davchel who are just meh ok but not really super rootable either, that in order to get people to watch the finale they had to have Mopper be in at least the 1st hr of the show where they are eliminated so I think Ralph and Vanessa will be booted in the last leg in India for that reason.

That's a good theory! Makes tons of sense! I really hope Vanessa and Ralph are out next

[Declive]

[apskip]

It may indeed be a good theory, but the reality is that Mark and Bopper have been in the middle of the pack in general (so have Vanessa and Ralph. M/B are susceptible to any severe physical challenge. If there is an eating contest Ralph has a big edge. What would M/B be good enough at to allow them to stay in AR20 for one extra leg?

I can't think of anything except Mark's raw desire to instantly improve his financial situation, which I don't think is as important as the other factors.

Now, what RFF membership really thinks (in spit of the large base of Bopper and Mark sentiment) is show in the current leg 9 poll of 39 members:

NEL 51.3%
Bopper/Mark eliminated 30.8%
Vanessa/Ralph eliminated 12.8%

[georgiapeach]

A couple of things:

Finishing order at the Tower task prob means nothing unless that is the last task before the Pitstop, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that.

Production has no control over who went out in 4th place, so the finale would not be planned based on that. It is a two hour finale solely to fit in the Survivor finale...

And this should be one of the closest and most exciting finishes ever!!

[kungfuwomn]

Sources aside i am going to believe that Brenchel won because no offense to The boring Rachel and her equally boring military husband but yes they are a strong team but a ho hum boring team and just like Hayden won BB12 that season of BB will be remembered with Rachel just like even if Drenchel or whatever you want to call that boring couple TAR20 would not have had any excitement or viewers if not for Brenchel and Team KY period.I would love to believe that Kaylani heard it through the grapevine that Brenchel won but since she is a former friend of Rachel's who she now disses her and brendon since their falling out i dont think i can really trust anything the says. She has said said on her show that she thinks they won but i never heard her say she knows they won.If any teams are going to be asked back it will definitly be Brenchel and Team Ky!

Good find, supah3ro!

I can almost guarantee this is either a Vanessa or Red Rachel quote. My gut is that it's a Vanessa quote, since she does care about her hair.

Sounds like a shave your hair task to me! :
