So, because I've watched the promo/preview like a million times now and have interpreted it in a billion different ways, I have come to the conclusion that I'll drive myself crazy trying to figure out who wins, but I'm going to do it anyways.
My hopes:
1. Nat/Kat
2. Brooke/Claire
3. Jill/Thomas

The only real sort of gut feeling I'm getting is that they are going to make it super-dramatic, but that eventually J/T are 2nd. But the weird thing is that I can see both N/K and B/C NOT winning for several different reasons, which conflicts with my J/T being 2nd gut feeling-thing. Which pretty much means my MIND IS FILLED WITH PARADOXES!
But it does sort of seem, from the very finely edited promo and preview, that Brooke/Claire may have the "cleaner" run with regards to taxis, directions, etc. But of course, that's from what we've seen. It all really does come down to the tasks, and of course that memory challenge.
At the same time, I feel like Brooke/Claire didnt win. I know it's not much to go by but it just doesn't seem like they've been enthusiastic in post-race stuff, including youtube vids they've been in, lack of FB page, etc. Both J/T and N/K have a FB page, but N/K's posts are generally more..."happy" and "cheery" and "go team blue!-y", even recently posting "Down to the final 3!!! Woot Woot!!
Tune in Sunday Dec 12th on CBS to see who wins Season 17! Go Team Blue!" Like, would someone post that to be like "tune in on sunday to watch us lose! go team blue!"? I don't know,
they probably would, but it just seems a bit un-level when it comes to enthusiasm. And J/T haven't even posted the preview or promo to Sunday's ep on their FB.
So along with the hype about a F/F team to win, what we've seen thus far from the promo/preview and just sort of other random things, my guess is the following will be the result:
1. Nat/Kat
2. Jill/Thomas
3. Brooke/Claire
