Do you think there is any significance to Cara & Jaime being in the center?  Don't the runners up usually flank the winners?

Maybe as much significance as Victor signaling #1.
Jennifer (orange shirt) is also signaling #1. We know she did not win ;)
Victoria as well
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

And if you notice, Terrence is also doing #1...so I guess my question has been answered...
                                   There is still hope for a Tammy & Victor win!!!

And here is for Season 12:
3rd, 1st, 2nd


So I'd say these are all correct:
TAR9 was 2nd, 1st, 3rd
TAR10 was 3rd, 1st, 2nd
TAR11 was 3rd, 2nd, 1st
TAR12 was 3rd, 1st, 2nd
TAR13 was 1st, 2nd, 3rd

In the last 5 seasons the people in the middle have either been 1st or 2nd.

though Cara & Jaime look the happiest, IMO

Probably VERY happy to be done with non-English speakers especially taxi drivers!

This shot was taken here between 4:05 and 4:54 pm (assumes November 21st).

Thanks to everybody's work on getting the finish line location.

if you look closely, Luke has a somewhat bitter expression, either they didn't win or he hates the idea of standing next to K/J :lol:

It doesn't really look bitter to me, maybe it is just one of those wanna-be-smiles...Or he just has weird mad faces.

You can either say that it is the same arrangement as last season (hence Margie & Luke winning), or you can take all past seasons into account and declare that nothing is certain.

I don't think this spoils anything. They have been getting more lazy with the way the teams are arranged. It used to be by placement but now it clearly isn't, at least for the eliminated teams.

So basically, to me it doesn't spoil anything. All three teams can still win! :jam:

If someone has all of the finale episodes, then they could just check the final moments before the credits to see how all of the teams line up historically.

They should be the same as the photos.

The race was getting more lazy to me, but it seems to be getting more organized now!  With season 14 not as micro.

And I have even been to a Lu'au at this very same place:  Kaanapali

(question:  What are there 12 of in the above shot?)

Just for reference:

TAR 6: 3rd, Phil, 1st 2nd.
TAR 7: 3rd, 1st, Phil, 2nd.

In older seasons winners are in the middle. In newer ones it's harder to predict.

I think that Margie & Luke aren't the winners, although I could be wrong.  I think it's either Tammy & Victor or Cara & Jaime -- and either team winning would make me a happy camper, although I'd prefer a Cara & Jaime win slightly just because we haven't had an all-female team win yet and we've already had a brother & sister team win last year.

Victor or Jennifer might not be pointing their fingers.  It could be an optical illusion due to the tree in the background.

Chateau:

Is it possible to figure out what time the Girls/Siblings/Supermon & SDF are in the taxi, and on the jet ski's. If the pitstop picture is taken at 4:05. And that picture is at about 9 in the morning.

Well I think I could predict this by the pictures:
Carrying Pigs is 1st Task
Jet Skis is 2nd Task
Surfboards is last task.

You could also switch Carrying Pigs and Jet Skis.

Wait what if there is a Fast Foward after the Roadblock  :-[ :funny:

Is it 12 teeth for Tammy, Chateau? That's the only 12 I could think of.

Thanks for the timing of the photo Chateau.

Because this photo takes place after all 3 teams cross the finish line, the time the photo was taken is irrelevant.  The teams could have finished at noon, done all of the production stuff and then assembled for the final group photo at 4 pm.

Or, Team #3 could have crossed the finish line @ 3:45 pm and then they took the picture.

Why no Phil?

Jennifer (orange shirt) is also signaling #1. We know she did not win ;)
