Could you lend your reasoning behind this prediction? It seems that they are not aggressive enough to compete in the final to me.

Maybe they're not too aggressive, but they are still very efficient and seem to excel at keeping their cool. So far, their worse placings have been due mostly to bad taxi drivers, I'm certain Nat & Kat won't be making any tragic mistakes.
Prophet:
Sure, they won't make enough mistakes to miss the final, but what about actually winning? Jet and Cord lost last year because they did not have the aggression Dan and Jordan did. When push comes to shove between Nat and Kat, Brooke and Claire, and Jill and Thomas, Brooke and Claire will win out.
The sunglasses task in Ghana is a perfect example. Can you tell me which team finished the task first and which team finished the task dead last? Brooke finished the task efficiently because she was aggressive. Kat was the last team member standing because she looked like a deer in headlights. Aggression combined with skill wins the race these days.
Vitoko:
I think and hope Nat&Kat will win the race... have my reasons...
· The fact that they are doctors its really something... Doctors are usually confident, smart, and most important if they make a mistake they need to fix it or will lead to a terrible conclusion.
· They surprise me on Norway. I mean one of them is afraid of heigh so they chose to the smart thing and do the FF what leads me to the next surprise they will not give to anything... I mean one of them haven't eat meat for years and still doing it only becasue they have to... I beliebe nothing will stop this team.
· They believe in each other and suport each other, know their strong and weak points and they are using that to move forward in the race...
· As doctors they need to have endurance to be in a hospital and its a really important fact in a race...
The only thing I could be worried about this team is the their taxi luck... or if the F/F team curse of TAR hit them and they are racing against a M/F team...

What aggressiveness? ??? Dan & Jordan won mostly because of the lead Dan got with the change to first class during the flight. Jet & Cord were by far more aggressive but that competitiveness wasn't enough to counter D&J's head start.
I think you are mis-attributing B&C's success in Ghana to aggression. They did the RB fast enough because they were in their element, unlike Nat & Kat who had a disadvantage at dealing with locals.
It could be that if push comes to shove Brook & Claire could overcome Nat & Kat, but I'm certain that the doctors would try to counter that by avoiding those kinds of situations.

Dan and Jordan's aggressiveness is what got them into first class in the first place. Had Jet and Cord been aggressive, they would not have sat at the virtual reality task long enough to let Brent and Caite catch all the way up to them and finish before actually finishing themselves. Perhpas aggression is not the best word to use. Perhaps desperation is a better word to use.
How do you know that the doctors will not allow themslves to be put in them type of situation? Here is something to remember: the editors can paint a team however they want to paint them. Since Connor and Jonathan were eliminated early on, the editors are trying to make Nat and Kat the fan favorite by making sure to show the doctors overcome their "fears" and appear nice. The editors have also painted Brooke and Claire as the mistake-rpone, goofy team that they may be. However, by doing this, they have also taken Brooke and Claire out of discussions regarding who will win the race. Open your eyes and don't be biased toward Nat and Kat.
