TAR 17 EP 12 (FINALE) "Hi. I'm sorry. I'm in a Race."
furybaby:
Hmmm... all suggestions about who will win is great and fantastic
some involves reverse-physcology, saying that B/C won BECAUSE they were featured
and people would THINK they are last.
However, I think the situation is very hyped right now, you can feel it in the flow~!
I'm going o sit back (bounce around maybe...) and wait for the finale~!
BROOKE AND CLAIRE FOR TAR 17~!

This is probably just me being silly... but did anyone else notice the varying shades to the air & ocean in these photos? It seems unlikely, but the air is most definitely clearer in B/C's photo than in N/K. Makes me think that it may have been a somewhat foggy morning but cleared quickly...

I'm blaming the discrepancy on the photographer

I know people who grew up by the ocean, and they said the ocean gets darker when there is an approaching storm. Any chance we'd be able to get the weather for that day?

I actually mentioned this a few pages ago. It turns out that in June (which is when TAR 17 was filmed), L.A. has "June Gloom" where the mornings are darker, as the picture indicates. That's probably what it is, so it just backs up what we know about N/K being the first to do the bungee task.

You have a point there. We shouldn't really over-analyze things. Although I'm still so excited at the prospect of an all-female team winning! I sure hope it's Nat & Kat!
GO NAT & KAT!

It's kind of hard to read because the columns don't line up, but the bottom line is that June 15th was a fairly typical day. High 72 (22C) Low 61 (16C), winds not especially fast - unless you're bungy jumping! No rain and the 18 in the weather column means there was some fog and haze at some point during the day. That goes along with the June Gloom analysis.
Storms are pretty unusual in Los Angeles in June. They have a dry season from late May to early September when they get little if any rain. The month of June 2010 had a trace of rain on the 8th and that's it.
