Sad that Cindy the Psycho is in the final three though.
I am hoping she'll get beat to the final mat by about 5 feet!!!

Why the Cindy hate? Ernie & Cindy have done well this race, they only had two bad legs, in Leg 3 and 5, and even then, in Leg 5 they finished in 3rd, they were never in danger of elimination. They have done well to make the final 3.
And I don't understand the Andy/Tommy hate also.

When Tommy and Andy outran them to the mat, she whined about it, expecting them to LET her and Ernie have a first place, when it was her own fault they were that close.
Then, she uturned Bill and Cathy, who would in no way have outraced them, just so she could get a first place leg prize. Her sense of entitlement has irritated me to no end the entire race.
Tommy and Andy didn't bother me much. They were just having fun.

It was use it or forever hold their peace. There was unlikely to be (and the episodes after that have verified that) any further U-Turns on this race. So why not solidy first place by U-turning the second place team? It's been done before, one example being Rob/Amber in London on Ron/Kelly in AR7. Bill/Cathi were not targeted by Ernie/Cindy; they just happened to be the 2nd place team and Ernie/Cindy had lost the previous leg due to failure to use a U-Turn.

I agree. They were probably regretting losing first place to Andy & Tommy by only seconds, so when they saw a chance to win a leg, they took it. Bill & Cathi were just the unlucky team who got U-Turned.

I think that Jeremy and Sandy can win now.

One thing to keep in mind. The "home field" curse. For Anami and Marcus, Atlanta is essentially a home field since their current residence is not far down the Interstate from metro Atlanta, and they'd get the Atlanta TV stations at home.
Teams making the final three with a home field advantage IIRC have never won TAR. Season 1 (Frank and Margarita in New York), season 2 (Tara and Wil in San Francisco), season 5 (Colin and Christie in Dallas) come immediately to mind, and that's enough to show my point.

Yeah, that doesn't look so good for Amani & Marcus. On the other hand, Kat came from Santa Monica and she won with Nat -- but then again, just about all the Final 3 teams came from the LA area. And Nat was from Arizona.
