--- Quote from: zaraice on December 09, 2010, 10:51:15 PM ---Hi guys, remember the promo where Brook said "we could be first, or last"?
So my question is, isn't that a taxi they were in when she said that? If so, then they must have said that before VT Bridge, or after Pasadena. That means after Pasadena would be a more likely timing, since it doesn't make sense that they would make such dramatic statement so early in the leg. So, if they said after Pasadena, then they couldn't have seen any teams during the task at Rose Bowl. And this leads me to believe that J/T screwed up big time during the time between the bungee jump and Pasadena, since it seems as though B/C and J/T saw each other at the bungee jump. In addition, it looks like N/K have established such a huge lead, for some reason, over B/C that B/C could not even catch a glimpse of N/K at all, since like, what, the bungee jump? (It has been largely confirmed that the order of the bungee jump is N/K, J/T and B/C, yes?)
I must say though, the iPad memory task is really throwing me off. However, I highly doubt that teams have to find and bring an iPad for that task. Why would the producers allow them to be able to guess their position from the number of iPads already present when they began on the task? Second, it seems quite risky and highly inconvenient for teams to be running around with a rather fragile yet important tool...

Didn't someone conclude already earlier that B/C said this in a cab on the way to Greystone at the very end? Someone did a search and found the highway sign right above the cab when they were being taped, I thought. :sab
Lpadres:
I think the find and buy and iPad thing isn't real because when you see Brooke and Claire run up to it, it's right there. I'm pretty sure in one of the promos they are running towards the station. And also, it appears that Kat has somewhat of a notebook/diary thing out, maybe so it would help remind her of where they went and eliminated teams!
Lpadres:
Also, maybe that weird yellow/brown line thing is actually going to push it's way in that way you would be able to see what they were putting on the screen. So you know, like there iPad screen and it's transitioning to split the screen so you can see NK and see what they are puttin! Just a thought though...
Ruth:
Hmm once again quoting Phil in his interview...
--- Quote ---And there’s a few dramatic turns and twists and you’ll be doing a lot of second-guessing. You think you’ll have it all worked out and then it will turn another way. At the end of the day, the most deserving team wins and that’s the most important thing.
--- End quote ---
We seem to think that Nat and Kat have it all in the bag because of all the speculation that they're leading. But if it's gonna be leg of twists and turns, I'm thinking they lose their lead at the end. And when Phil said that "at the end of the day, the most deserving team wins and that's the most important thing", it sounds like he's preparing us for a Jill and Thomas win. Because even though we're not throughly rooting for them, they are deserving, and that's the most important in a race point of view.
And right from the first episode, it was mentioned that the Express Pass was game-changing.

--- Quote ---The pair to finish first on the initial leg receive a surprise award that gives them a potential game-changing advantage.
--- End quote ---
Perhaps if Jill and Thomas hadn't used their Express Pass, they wouldn't have made it this far. So the Express Pass might have been their token of victory. But maybe I'm reading too much into this.
And in another of Phil's interview... http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_amazing_race_17/2010_Oct_31_phil_interview
--- Quote ---When we talked, the Express Pass of Power was still a secret, but Phil said the new twist had “quite an impact on the teams throughout the race” and a “dramatic impact on the race.”
--- End quote ---
If it's indeed a dramatic impact, it should suggest the final outcome of the race, which is Jill and Thomas winning because of the Express Pass? Hmm.
Ugh, I can only say that I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm haunted by Phil's interview. That part on the most deserving team winning which is the most important. Hmm!

Interesting point you're making. But I actually think that the point about the express pass won't really make a difference. I think that what he's saying is that each team will be in the lead at some point but then it will all take a drastic turn at the end. Since they are making such a big deal about Brooke and Claire, I think that Nat and Kat are going to win. Seems to me like most of the logic points in their direction, but I have a gut feeling that Jill and Thomas are going to win.
Unless karma comes into play. "I could care less about any sort of history making."
