Phil looks like he's smiling more than frowning in the photo. Possibly just avoiding elimination? *wishful thinking...*

It's probably post-elimination, where, if he's smiling, it's part of the post-boot discussion.  In other words, those two, which saddened that their race is over, are happy that they got to be on the show.  Add that to the two talking about how they love each other or something special outside TAR, and that would probably cause Phil to smile.

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

If you look at the regular size picture in the destination thread - Phil isn't smiling at all.....looks like he's listening, pondering, questioning, or confused....that Phil look!  LOL  Also, are we sure that is an all female team (granny and granddaughter?)  Perhaps that is the father daughter team and the granny / granddaughter team are still in!   That just looks like a man to me.....at the ticket counter and at the pit stop.

The local reporter (eyewitness) identified her as a 70-something female.  So it's definitely  the grandmother/granddaughter team identified at LAX.  That this is, in fact, the eliminated couple for this leg may be in dispute, but the reporter, again, seemed to think that was the case.

I'm still wondering whether this was the first or second team eliminated b/c that seems like a really long first leg if they were the first.

I would guess that this was the second pitstop and second elimination.

YY,

Common sense and sheer animal cunning tells me that the first pitstop and first elimination was in the Valpariso/Stantiago area.

It does, yes, and yet some still say first. So I guess I'll stick with the common sense approach and say 2nd.

OK you all.....  this is my first TAR post.... I've previously been a BB junkie...   I am SO confused  :duno: with all the different threads.  I like reading them all....but is this the one that will follow Jeff and Jordan's progress?  As far as we know, they are still in it, right?  If I'm in the wrong thread, please point me in the right direction !!  Thanks !

Excellent work!  But what if the author of that article was deceived somehow & that was NOT the eliminated couple.  It could just be the typical interview at the mat. 

Maybe it's only wishful thinking on my part because I sorta wanted the granny & granddaughter to go a little further in the race.
I alsp wonder if the status of the grandmother/granddaughter team is correct. That information originated from an eyewitness who was present in the park where the pot stop was located. Some are taking that report at face value, and I'd rather wait and see if it can be confirmed such as they're not being seen further on.

Further, it would have required that person to have gotten much closer to the mat than is suggested from the four photos I've seen in connection with that location.

I agree. I don't think we can assume they are eliminated unless we never see them again. But even then, they could always pull a Kisha & Jen, right?

The reporter did use the word "presunta" (alleged, supposed, presumed) so even he wasn't sure if the team was eliminated.

My reason for believing is simply b/c he was there, and could've seen other teams coming in too (although why he wouldn't have taken pics of them you never know), but he also could've maybe seen them taken away somehow or seen other teams come in and go in a different direction after than the team he took a picture of.

My point was, and YY, your post demonstrates this, is that to reach the conclusion that this was an eliminated team requires making an assumption not supported by the direct evidence. The eyewitness may have assumed for some reason that it was the last team, but that isn't clearly shown by the photographs or even by the translation of what the eyewitness posted.

No evidence pointing to it not being the team either, if we're goign to go that way with the logic.

The point is that, there is not enough evidence to assure either claim. We just know that the Grandmother/Granddaughter team made it to the mat

I'm new here.  TY everyone for all of the Sherlock Holmes detective work you do.

Let me see if I've got this correct.  So far you feel they've done about 3 or 4 eliminations, not sure if the GM/GD team has been eliminated.  

I'm a BB fan and trying to track J&J's progress.  Do you think they are still in the race?  Hope so!

As far as we can tell, yes. And the GM/GD team is still up for debate.
