If the editors continue creating "surprise" finishes, such as last season's finish, they may turn viewers away, which makes me rethink my editing theory. :ascared

Hello Everyone!!
I just wanted to give my two cents on who I think will win. I've noticed something ever since I started watching TAR (And of course going back to seasons before I started).
What I've noticed with Editing is that The first team introduced (Or First team to appear in the theme sequence) NEVER win.
So, For example this season, The first team introduced by Phil is Brooke and Claire and the first team on the Theme is Nick and Vicki. I personally don't think those two teams win (Due to the Nick and Vicki spoilers) but I am rooting for Brooke and Clair (Because as much as I use this method, I still think it can fail).
I can give an example of how I knew Dan and Jordan won within the first 10 minuets of watching the premier. Thanks to RFF spoilers I found out the Final 3 was Jet and Cord, Brent and Caiti and Dan and Jordan. I noticed B/C were introduced First by Phil and J/C were First in the Theme music.
So I hope this helps ANY (Still keep in mind, this can fail. So don't take it for gold :P)

I have no problem with any of the final three teams winning as all have had strong legs, all have had poor legs, and all seem to be actually racing...through this season.
But I have never really wanted a female team to win if their was a feeling like casting was trying to help enable it, by either casting softer competition, or by casting more. Just like season four seemed to just hand over the race to one of the many male teams cast.
As for casting soft the productions type of male casting has changed dramatically over the years, even going so far in all stars as not considering them for spots (I still get upset about that). Seasons 11, 12, 13, and 14 featured no fit athletic young male teams. Though with season 15 you had Sam and Dan and while Flight Time is over 30 they certainly were physically strong so lets count them as well and 16 had Jet & Cord (again I think one was in their 30's or 30) but they were physically fit so I would count them. And of course 17 back to no fit young athletic male teams.
Of course with the race a good chuck is luck and teams that on paper should do well can do terrible.
I would rather have just seen a female team win against strong male teams, as well as fit young couple teams. Thats probably my only real complaint.

Your little complaint could be reversed to say that a FF team has never had a chance before because of all the athletic MM teams.

I'm biased and i don't care. I just want an all-female team to win. And it's not about alpha male teams or what. The last time we had all-female teams in the final 3, (TAR 14 and Allstars except TAR 10).. they all lost against a co-ed team. In fact in all-stars, both Charla and Mirna and BQs lost against Eric and Danielle, who're weaker than them.
And no to Jill and Thomas winning. It will kill my TAR appetite, i'm serious.

I'm about more where you are, Belle Book, than Joab. Wouldn't make me give up the show, but it'd be a very sour ending to what's turning out to be an otherwise great season so far.
