TAR 18 Finale speculation and discussion
georgiapeach:
They should have checked with us here first. :res:
4 teams go to RIO>>one team is eliminated.
THREE teams race for the finale. Not 4.
The confusion must arise over this being two legs?
BUT THREE FOR THE FINALE. :tup:

Dr. Rox,
I asked the same question based on my memory of the finale of AR6, but that episode aired 2/8/05 was like the upcoming AR18 finale in these important ways:
There were 4 teams starting in Shanghai for the first hour of the finale. There were 3 teams in the second hour of the finale:
Freddie/Kendra
Kris/Jon
Adam/Rebecca
The second hour of the AR6 finale took teams inland to Xian for the infamous locks ROADBLOCK, then took them to see the TerraCotta Warriors, then flew them to Oahu for tasks, then flew then to Chicago for tasks before the pit stop was at Ping Tom Park.
Based on not reaching Brazil in AR18 Ep. 10, Ep. 11 will get teams to Rio de Janeiro and have some tasks there. I expect one team to be jettisoned in the first hour of the Ep. 12 finale no later than on the way to Sao Paulo airport for the flight to Miami, although I do not know how World Race Productions will manage that. If they don't eliminate the 4th team, it hardly matters. I believe that at most 3 teams will be in the final race to the Finish Line (and it may be just like in AR6 only be 2 teams really competing at the end).
I doubted him based on my memory of AR6, but kevint2005 proved to be correct after I looked up the details.

Thank you for your intrepretation of the poster's intent, apskip..........but I directed my question at the poster. It was not a general question for anyone.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get the "winners' edit" thing. I've been watching AR since the 1st season and I've never noticed that a particular teams' edit meant anything in regards to who won a particular season. It's easy to say at the end, this team got the "winners' edit," but I just can't tell. What is it about any teams' current edit screams "winners' edit"? It all seems the same to me.
BTW, I love all the remaining teams, so any of them winning would be fine by me, even the Trotters! :)

You're right, and there's definitely no "rubric" or whatever in regard to the editing. It's mostly just a gut feeling or something like that. And I did notice that in the leg in Broken Hill, there were a lot of pictures of Gary and Mallory posted on the CBS website. And that on the China TBC, they ended the first episode before Zev/Justin checked in. This seemed a little unnecessary, since we knew they'd beat Kent/Vyxsin; it seemed like the editors just wanted to put some extra focus on them. These two teams in particular also seem to have gotten a fairly large edit. Neither team has a cowboys-size fan base, nor do they have a lot of drama, so I feel like the reason they're getting a big edit is probably because they made the Final 3.
Now I'll laugh if I'm totally wrong; this is just a hunch!

Well, one good way to tell that a team has made the Final 3 (not necessarily that they won) is to look at how large their edit is in legs where they don't finish either first or near the back of the pack. If they are featured more than perhaps they should in a leg where they finished in the middle, then there's a reason for it. Most likely, that team made the finals.
A great example is last season's winners, Nat & Kat. They were featured even in legs where they didn't come near the front or the back of the pack. Editing thus suggests they made the finals.
