LOL. If you don't believe what you read here, why still read?
I'm sorry but you're going to get VERY DISAPPOINTED by your #speculation that you don't even have any idea if the surfers got "non eliminated in leg 9" (you think) and "getting eliminated" because of an added gap?
After all these years, would you think that Bertram will continue to have starting lines in LA when each and every time they get stalked like mad at the airport? The answer is obviously YES.
And, after watching TAR 25 for 8 legs, tell me, just tell me, when is Bethany ever NOT calm and collected at any point of time in the race?
Maybe, you would like to base your #speculation (i repeat) with PHOTOGRAPHIC evidence instead? Instead of posting stuff which discredits the effort of our detectives?
Edit: I repeated speculation because obviously, this is not a speculation thread.
