I think that when Claire says "the first all-female team to win The Amazing Race.." in the taxi, they're headed to the Finish Line. So, hopefully, they're in first.  ;)

I also believe that an All-Female team wins the Race, because of how they highlight the fact so much as compared to S11, when we were presented with the same scenario (in terms of 2/3 teams being All-Female), it was hardly mentioned at all. Unless, the producers want to drop a huge bomb at the end after all this build-up.  :(

Don't overthink the ideas guys. Editing is very powerful. All editing concepts will, in the end, remain concepts. :lol:

Excited for the finale! :hearts:

Good point Cocoa. Unfortunately there will probably be a lot of overthinking this week...

In this cap you can see 3 sets of bungees.  If that is truly Thomas and Jill on the middle bungee (and I think it is), then it looks like the bungees to their left have already been used, but not the ones to the right.  My guess is they're in second place at this point.

That's a very plausible speculation.  :tup:

Definitely! Who do you think is in first?

I wondered if there was any real mention of two all-female teams in Season 11 possibly being the first all-female team to win!  So I'm definitely holding out hope that an all-female team wins!  Also, Nat & Kat do seem pretty happy in their taxi cab shot, which might be on the way to the Finish Line.  So I'm holding out hope that an all-female team wins and that it's Nat & Kat!   :yess:

For some reason, everyone thinks Nat and Kat are gonna win (at least, most people do). I'm thinking that the end result wouldn't be so obvious. And it doesn't bode well that Jill and Thomas are in second place at the bungee (if they really are). Because based on past seasons, the second-place team is usually the team that catches up at the final task and wins it all! But well, I don't wanna think too much also. I already can't wait for the finale lol.

This did not happen last season. Dan and Jordan were ahead the whole time.

Nobody said you did.

I for one know of a few friends who watch the show but do not know of an all-stars yet. They searched online for a special announcement and guess where the search led them to... :lol:

What about the issue of Nat probably being terrified to do the bungee jump?  :o :o I wonder if multiple teams can jump at once.

Is it okay for me to chime in with my two cents?

Heart says Brook/Claire or Nat/Kat will win, because it's about damn time for a F/F team to win.
Gut feeling says Jill/Thomas will win, because my heart is almost never right. :P

So... This "finale you don't want to miss" could mean anything.
I thought that when we fought, I was to blame

I've seen you dance with danger; still wanting more

That might be an obstacle, but I think she forces herself to do it, she is in TAR finale after all.
I speculate we get to hear her scream. Loud!  :lol:

This could be the most exciting finale ever. Most of the time we get 1 likeable team in the final. This time weve got 2, and NO ONE (well almost) wants a f/f team to lose again!!

PLEASE Brook and Claire <33333

I am so excited!! ARGH!!
