TAR 17 EP 12 (FINALE) "Hi. I'm sorry. I'm in a Race."
Chateau d If:
Not only are Brooke & Claire the last to get a chopper (GE shows there pads, shot show one chopper) but they are way late!
This shot was taken between 12:41 and 12:49 pm (assumes June 15th).

Chateau.......
I just wonder where you think this photo was taken.......it appears to me that Thomas is looking up at something.......and Jill is hiding her eyes. He could be looking at the Vicent Thomas bridge, by the heliport.....but why would Jill hide her eyes. Could it be that they are at the container ship crane......ie...take taxi to crane.......do tandem bungee....then go to heliport and fly back to Pasadena.........I know well enough not to question you about your town......just wondered what you think.

Well at least for the first time in a long time I actually think that the three teams in the finale are the best racers of the season. And I like all three teams. No one has been rude to locals, mean spirited to other teams, and while Brook and THomas have pushed their partner, neither has been offensive about it (in fact really besides Nick we have seen little of that this season, Thank You!).
Out of the three teams I think I would prefer Jill and Thomas win as they have won as many legs and all of theirs have been legs that equalized teams, they also have been a little more consistent then Nat & Kat. But all three teams have performed fairly well and not only done that been unlike last season I really felt these teams were really racing almost every single leg.
My only problem with Jill and Thomas is that sometimes they are too quick to jump from one task to the other.
WIth Nat & Kat I like that they are fairly level headed, and keep their cool. But out of the three teams they also appear (and this is probably just appearances based on their calmer personality) to be the team that doesn't push themselves as hard as the other two teams (again this is probably more due to personality then just taking it easy).
Brook & Claire push, but they also can be erratic, and they are the one team of the three that's personality is over the top. I am not an over the top person in life, and as such I have a little harder time attaching myself to people on tv who are over the top. I also in general don't like them casting teams in the media. Part of that is just my general dislike on the principle of hiring people who work in tv. But on a game playing level, my distaste is more on those who can use their media career to get an additional level of assistance based on who they are (Rob & Amber, Globetrotters, even Maria & Tiffany) since no one has recognized them, that aspect doesn't bother me on how they have done of the race.
On the ads for the finale they have really pushed the female teams aspect, so I would be surprised if one of the women teams didn't win (and of course the odds are certainly there). Though I think its funning that I think Allstars and perhaps even season ten had more focus on women possibly winning during the actual Mat footage during the various episodes of the season then this one has had.
Heliox:
I think the most telling thing in the preview is in the interviews. J/T say something like they will win or deserve to win. B/C saying they want to win, and Nat/Kat saying that it would be an honor to win. TAR still likes to have karma rule and honor be king, so I think based on that bit of editing, N/K are the winners. But then again, I am biased hugely by all the online spec that has been going on as well.

I suspect they made a wrong turn near the helipad and got funneled into the container yard. This may have been preceded by mistakenly crossing the VT bridge because they missed the exit. Very easy to do. I got mixed up down there the first time I went to find the start point for Season 7. It's crazy.
