Amani and Marcus have got the golden winning edit. If they get eliminated next, I'll be really shocked. You know... shocked to the maximum. :lol:
But they're also the weakest team of the entire lot remaining....

I agree with you, all the editing is on their favour.
To me, they are not the deserving team to win, not to mention that they were saved once in NEL, they did not perform well in most legs. The 2 legs they won were also the 2 with bunching in the middle, and they were not good in navigating themselves. They got lost in Denmark, on the way to Hamburg (not shown but they were caught up by Jeremy/Sandy arriving the train station) and also in Belgium (I thought they were also very lost as Amani was quite surprised that they were Team no.4, but no footage (compared with Ernie/Cindy) was shown as well)
However, I sense that producers did not highlight this weakness in their edit, which is similar to the case of Ray/Yolanda to me, so I think it's highly possible that they would make the final 3.
Prophet:
Really only Andy and Tommy have consistently performed well enough to "deserve" to win.

I will go with Prophet on this one. Only Andy and Tommy have had consistently good performance even though several of their leg victories were the results of unbelievably good luck. Although they may deserve to win, the history of Amazing Races is replete with examples of less deserving teams winning. The best examples I can give of this are Chip and Kim in AR5 and Freddie and Kendra in AR6 and Dan and Jordan in AR16. World Race Productions/Earthview sets up the crucial final leg so that all teams in the F3 have a chance to win, so sometimes unexpected events allow the less deserving to win.
Note- thanks to Joab for correcting me on one of the two names for the AR16 winners.
