TAR 17 Speculation
georgiapeach:
Lots of the racers wore different clothes in the airport... And by reports they were all hot and sweaty.... but not wet.
The airport pics are all here if anyone want to compare. :tup:

I do not know where speculation about which teams look strong belongs. Since this is clearly speculation, although possibly not of the type the moderators intended for this thread, I am placing it here with the knowledge that it might get moved.
I have some thoughts on which 2 teams look like the ones who on paper and based on their brief videos alone appear to me to be the most likely to win. For the first time ever, it look like these two Female/Female teams:
Nat/Kat - they have it all: beauty, charm, incredible smarts (you trying learning to be an anesthesiologist), obvious physical fitness
Katie/Rachel - these beach volleyball players may not have the smarts of Nat and Kat, but they are professional athletes with a great deal of beauty that will attract all kinds of help throughout the Race
The Male/Male teams do not stand out at all. Ron/Tony have great braggadocio but may not be able to make it happen, Connor/Jonathan are OK but someone named Jonathan puts the hex on their team and Michael/Kevin do not appear to have any particular strengths except their father/son relationship.
The multiple Male/Female teams with hair stylists as the Female appear to me to be at a disadvantage. They talk the talk but can they walk the walk?
I offer these observations in full knowledge that RFF has already posted summary information which makes it clear who will reach the finale and who won't. My attempt is to just put blinders on and look at it from the perspective of knowing nothing but what is known at the start line about the teams.

I think of the two all-female teams that look to have the best shot on paper and through videos, the one that has the better shot is Nat & Kat. And I like that!

These were exactly my observations as well. Maybe that's why the topics for the female teams are getting so much more attention than those of all the others. It seems as though the producers really do intend for this to be the season where a female team can finally win it all, and considering what the spoilers tell us, it seems like a really strong possibility this time around.

I think Brook & Claire's video should put them in the running for possibly having a shot, too. Especially since they also talk about being the first team of that type to win.
And yeah, none of the three men's teams look like they have a shot, nor do any of the couples.
