They are never lackadaisical about any task. They are decisive. When they are having difficulty with one detour they decide quickly to change. This quick thinking and quick decisions have kept them in this race. And my main reason is shallow. The other two teams are well off financially, and Jill and Thomas are not. To me they are the average Joes and they race like average Joes. They want the money. Forget the glory. Cash for those who don't have it is the greatest incentive. But then, that is just my opinion. :<)

They may not be lacadaisical, but, as indicated by the interviews before the final, they are extremely cocky.

You know, I don't think it's a problem that they're being cocky in the pre-final leg interview. If you go on The Amazing Race to just have a good time and not care about winning, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. If you're going to win the race, you've got to want it.
For an all-girl team to win, that means Jill & Thomas must lose. If an interviewer is asking them about an all-girl team winning, that means they're pretty much counting Jill & Thomas out of it. If a reporter asked me what it's like to know that Race history will be made if my team loses, I sure wouldn't be too happy about it either. I can completely understand his "cockiness" but in this case I consider it to be more like self-confidence.

:cmaslol At least theres still someone here that hasn't joined the all-girl team bandwagon. I picked Jill & Thomas pre-race and I'm sticking by my choice, even if that does mean both female teams have to loose. I completly agree with your assessment of them. It's why they've been finishing on top. That as well as their drive is what in my opinion makes a winning team.
AmazingRace:
I like Jill & Thomas as well. They deserve to win as much as the other two teams. :cmas31:
allie303:
I like this team a lot. Love their intensity.
That said, Thomas can be pretty douchey from time to time. :mas25
Mug Costanza:
He can be, but I feel like they always end the day with a smile on their faces, unlike Nick & Vicki or in some cases Chad & Stephanie.
