Who Do You Think Will Win TAR 17?

Faulty equipment?

Yeah. The code Kandice had put in was actually what Dustin had tried initially, but the equipment wouldn't let her enter it. If it had, Kandice would've gotten it quickly, and they probably might've won.

How can you prove this?

It was widely discussed in post race interviews at the time...pretty conclusively.

Why are Jill and Thomas so good at racing while they are so annoying as people?

Well, Thomas is pretty strong and they seem to be pretty fast. They also quickly switch Detour tasks if there's a problem with the one they chose rather than trying over and over and over. Also, they have quite a bit of drive. That helps -- and will help them make the finals. But hopefully, it won't help them win.

That's everyone's persepctive on them: they hope they don't win. However, I know they will not win. Why? Because they are not mental enough. Actually, no team remaining has truly proved themselvs mentally. The most mental tasks (accordion playing in Russia, word search in Ghana) were both Detour tasks and not many teams completed those. The two FF teams appear to be more mental than J\T, that's why they will not win.

Freddy and Kendra did. So did Flo and Zach, Eric and Danielle, Tammy and Victor (remember Leg 3 TAR 14?) and Dan and Jordan, winners whom all showed before how they are not that mentally strong after all. Maybe minus Tammy and Victor, as it was smooth sailing for them since Leg 3 after that. But the other winning teams? Definitely.
I have to agree with anyone who say everyone who made it to the final 3 deserves to win, but the final leg usually requires both luck and skills, and you probably gotta bring a voodoo doll along and pray that while you falter at your final leg tasks, the other teams go down with you. (Meghan and Cheyne at one point was last to arrive at Casino due to bad cabbie, then finished the Counting task FIRST cause the other two teams sucked at it). :lol:
There, any team can win. :lol:

What is your proof that these mentioned teams were not mentally strong? (Besides Eric and Danielle, everybody agrees with that)
--- End quote ---
Just like how you have your opinion, i have my own opinion as well. I think that Jill and Thomas are mentally strong enough, although they falter at times, they have shown that against other competition, they can really outshine and rise to the occasion.
They are just alike any other teams, the teams i mentioned had their bad and good moments. Remember how Dan and Jordan freaked out in China? Remember how Flo freaked out on the leg they were given a NEL? Remember the many Danielle meltdowns? Remember how Freddy freaked out?
All i'm saying here is, it just take ONE GOOD FINAL LEG to win TAR. Sure, it takes 10-12 legs to reach the finale, but once you're in the final 3.. anyone can win. All you need is luck and for everything to go together.
