Not true at all. Spoilers helped, though. But even if I hadn't been spoiled I still would've expected you to make it far after your team's strong performance on Leg 1 combined with the strong edit the editors gave you.
Oh yeah, and the pre-race hype the promos gave you as well. Your team, Tammy & Victor, Mel & Mike, and Mark & Michael(?) all got promos and the rest of the teams didn't, I believe. So it was pretty obvious who would go far right from the start.

It was Jaime & Cara that got the promo, not Mark & Michael. I remember when all four teams' promo came out, all people said to me, "All of you guys are the Final Four!!!!!!" I was shocked of how it came out that way by leaving other teams out and only showed four teams that were in the Final Six. It was so obvious :groan:
I remember the spoiler! Y'all thought I was a woman according to my ankle size from a picture in Thailand! :lol3:

The funny thing with that season is that even though we had one of the easiest to predict Top 6 teams based on hype and promos, Kisha & Jen had no sightings beyond Leg 2 or 3, but managed to go all the way to 4th place. I think it's interesting in hindsight that they didn't get a promo either.

What do you think of Connor & Jonathan guys? Do you think they would have gone far?

No, not really. Did you notice that Connor did all the road blocks for that team? Teams who go far tend to try to distribute them more evenly (at least since Lex Flo&Zack if I remember correctly).
theschnauzers:
I'll buy the idea than Connor and Jonathan made one too many mistakes on the Sweden lag that caused them to be eliminated earlier than they might have, and with their musical backgrounds they might have made it past the two St. Petersberg legs, but probably not much further than that.
Mug Costanza:
I don't think Connor & Jonathan could've won the whole Race, but really, the only two things I can think of that got them eliminated in Sweden were not getting on the earlier flight and waiting too long to change Detours. If they only make one of those mistakes instead of both of them, they might still be in the race, but probably wouldn't make it past the final 5, in my opinion.
