They were certainly slow with the Roadblock but did you forget that Nat & Kat had done a great job with the Detour and that Brook & Claire were U-Turned? Nat & Kat would've finished the Roadblock before Brook & Claire (and Chad & Stephanie) anyway.
Brook & Claire have a good chance of winning, I agree, but so do Nat & Kat. And I'll be rooting for them!

No way! The two U-turned teams both completed the hard brick carrying tasks and arrived before Nat was done. She must have taken at least an hour. It would have been a real race at the RB if not for the Uturn and C/S getting lost twice.

I think that the rickshaw RB took far longer than it seems. It's not easy assembling 8 parts of a vehicle...
I estimate that the RB took about 1:30, while the detour took 0:45.
Point is, N/K are about as fast as C/S and B/C. What seriously dragged the latter two down was the fact that they actually ran to the pitstop...

I think you're right, Caelestor! The Roadblock probably was harder than the Detour was (even for Brook & Claire), so Nat was probably close to being done by the time Brook & Claire and even closer by the time Chad & Stephanie arrived. The editing might have made the three teams seem closer at the Roadblock than they really were.

Still, N\K only did one D task, while B\C and C\S did two each!

Who I want to win is Jill and Thomas. I think that they work well together and they have shown powerful drive throughout the race. They both have that intensity about them, especially Thomas. They kinda remind me of Rob and Amber. That kind of intensity. Before the race began I was biased. Both female teams have high salary jobs and already make bookoos of money. Jill and Thomas don't. I know that should not be a factor,and I am not saying that the girls didn't work for where they are at financially. I am sure they did. I just feel that TAR racers who don't have financial security seem to want it more. That's where the intensity of the teams come in. That being said Brooke/Claire and Nat/Kat have been good teams, but I have not seen that "drive" in them. Here's to Jill and Thomas. My hopes are with you!

Sure. Whatever you say. If you want the season to end badly, then go right ahead.
Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.

Why? Look i really wanted Jeff/Jordan to make the final 3 in TAR 16, but for me, it was still quite fun (but the finale was a bore) and i think it was a good season...
Nettez:
Oh come on guys, we all have our favourites. Even if we debate consistently about who's going to win and who's not based on our own criteria it's not going to make a difference so relax... In the end, whichever team wins deserves it, whether or not they have run the race the best.
