. . . With Jaime & Cara in third possibly (and this is only speculation) because Jaime's taxicab driver treatment karma comes back to bite her sometime on the final leg, and one driver refuses service to her and Cara. Margie & Luke and Kisha & Jen, based on the upcoming scuffle and subsequent feud, fight it out for the top two spots instead.

The final leg is in Hawaii. Jaime shouldn't have taxi-cab language issues on the final leg, unless it is during the final taxi-cab ride from the departure point to the airport. However, since she is with M/L during the flight, I don't think she has any final leg taxi-cab issues.
However, I can see her having several meltdowns during the next three legs in China.

I bet that Jamie would have taxi cab problems on Calle Ocho in her hometown.

Actually, I think Jaime is just suffering from an accumulation of too much non-English. She was mostly ok in the beginning, but her temperament has gotten progressively worse each eposide. Of course, the escalation could just be editing and she was really nasty at the start.
I just found a you-tube clip that may shed some light on the issue. Apparently Jaime gets carsick. So between nausea and failure to communicate, Jaime is not a happy traveler. Why someone that gets car sick and can't deal with non-English wanted to travel the world is beyond me!

i think it was a bit less of a problem for jaime in the first few legs because they were in europe through leg 3, and in western europe in the first
two (where there tend to be a lot more fluent english speakers than in india, thailand, china, or siberia)
also, in the first few legs (including leg 5), the teams drove themselves a lot more
many countries in europe are almost completely paved roads (including siberia), the other countries, not so much
now (leg 6,7, 8, and prob. 9) they have had to rely on taxi cab drivers who know a butchered form of english at best, while on mainly unpaved, or poorly paved roads.
so, if this was a race that went solely through europe, where teams had to rely on their own driving abilities more than that of a taxi cab driver, i think jaime would be having a wonderful time, and have a lot friendlier demeanor
but, since its not, i think jaime just needs to suck it up in these last couple legs, and stop being so hostile

I dare not hope it, but I think Tammy & Victor are out in fourth. But! Next week's preview has no sign of Jaime & Cara, so there is a very slight possibility that something awful happens to them and then Margie & Luke are out after that. But I also think that Mark & Michael are as good as gone now. It's too bad because I thought they would be different than they have turned out.

I quite feel that it's everybody's ball game right now. Given that T/V comes in 4th, why must CBS give clues and keep on reminding Romania - IN EVERY FREAKIN' EPISODE and INSIDERS?? It seems like too much of a give away that they reach 4th only - just like everyone's thinking right now. Could they be in the final 3 and end up third?
There are a whole lot of points and contentions here, which makes so much of a jigsaw. CBS, WRP and TPTB must be laughing their asses out right now because of all of us arguing giving out our points and can't actually make a good general idea of how is this show going to end...
