We have 5 teams at the start of 01-May leg, but the finale is on 08-May.
Does it mean we have a 2-hr finale or a double elimination next leg?

IIRC, next week will be the leg for the elimination that makes the final four and May 8 will be the last two legs.

Thanks for the information. I just looked at CBS's programming schedule, and 5/8/11 is indeed two hours-long and presumably legs 11 and 12 combined. I wonder if combining two legs is a kind of marketing thing - if the last 3 teams don't include any fan favorites, then viewership would be low. But if 4 teams are featured in the finale, one of which is eliminated in Brazil before the remaining teams head to Miami, then viewership might be higher.

I think the finale will be similar to season 6 where there was an elimination in the middle. It's simply 2 separates legs one after the other. so I'm guessing it will start with 4 teams, eliminate one of them halfway, have 3 teams left, and one of them wins the 1 million dollar prize.

--- Quote ---With the race half way through, I thought I'd go back and look at the airport photos. I find it interesting that K/J and FT/BE are so close together. If I was a camera person, I would want the decoy teams to leave room between themselves and the racing teams so as to not be caught on film. My speculation is that they are either both in the final 3 or are 2 of the last 3 teams eliminated.

Same thinking :) Based on my speculations & diagram, if there's 9 teams on that flight and 2 teams (Gary & Mallory and Zev/Justin) on another flight, (& it doesnt make sense if all 3 teams are not on the same flight) plus narrowing down the list by cross referencing with the eliminated teams so far, seems like the F3 would be Jet/Cord, Jen/Kisha & FT/BE. lol. Just my specs haha :)
Jet & Cord - Seen at the airport
Gary & Mallory - One of the 2 teams in the 2nd flight (assumed eliminated F4)
FlightTime & BigEasy - Seen at the airport
Kisha & Jen - Seen at the airport
Zev & Justin - One of the 2 teams in the 2nd flight. (assumed eliminated F5)
Kent & Vynxin - Seen at the airport (assumed eliminated F6) > my guess
Ron & Christina - Eliminated
Margie & Luke - Eliminated
Jaime & Cara - Eliminated
Mel & Mike - Eliminated
Amanda & Kris - Eliminated

Or maybe you've got it the other way around...with Jet/Cord eliminated in Zermatt and FT/BE sited in Rio, I presume Jen/Kisha to screw up epically in Zermatt, then FT/BE to be eliminated next in Rio.
We've got our Final 3: Zev/Justin, Gary/Mallory, and Kent/Vyxsin (just my speculation of course) :duno:
Btw...LONG A** time lurker - finally registered. Huge fan of this forum here. You guys ROCK. :hearts:

I don't think it'd be a marketing thing. Editing consistently puts a fan favourite team into the final three, usually with a team that people don't like as well. After 17 seasons, this can't still be a coincidence. Based on that, I Speculate The final three will be K/V, Gallory and a third team.
