I know that RI is route info but I just can't figure out what the A is. Does anyone want to help me out?

Active Route Info.
Which is Route Info that includes a task, not just a travel to somewhere sort of RI.

I definitely think Hayley was the most direct foreshadowing. And this time, Jessica's not wanting to "be the reason we lose a million dollars" popping up this week so prominently is similar to Hayley's quotes before about always being right (which she actually was most of the time).
Conversely, Henry & Evan have always talked about their smarts being what helps them overcome any physical limitations compared to the other teams. Yet their Yale smarts have failed them pretty much every time they've needed it. It's possible their smarts finally come into play on the Final Task.
For Kristi & Jen, they could just as easily be in a Natalie & Meaghan situation. Dominant the entire Race, just comes up short in the final.

I don't agree. Last season, Brooke & Scott's edit (especially Brooke's) was overwhelmingly negative, but at least they got a very sharp, sudden up-turn in their edit the final two legs to at least not make their win feel so bad. Before them, I can grant you Dana & Matt's edit, but even theirs wasn't that bad, either. In fact, the worst edit for a winning team I've seen in recent seasons is either theirs or Laura & Tyler's.
My point? I think the edit can be indicative of the winner. Not always, but most of the time, yes, it is.
Marionete:
I feel like in S28, none of the F3 had an edit that screamed "winner".
But because of that, people started looking at whose edit made the most sense for a winner. And of course, nobody believed that Dana & Matt could win because of that.
In S26, Laura & Tyler's edit actually seemed the most positive to me, and I didn't have any doubt that they would win, especially heading into the finale. Jelani & Jenny were either completely INV or arguing with each other, and Hayley & Blair... well, they were the entertaining team that all casuals hated. :cmaslol Only looking back I realized that Luara & Tyler weren't as positive of racers as I thought they were, but out of their F3, I would still say their edit was most winner-like.
Last season, though, I thought that the edit clearly didn't favour Brooke & Scott, and Tara & Joey were the clear favorites to win edit-wise. However, I was a bit spoiled for the finale, and knew that Brooke & Scott likely left the final task first, so I can't judge without any bias.
So what do I make of this? I still feel like the final four teams besides Skiers all have those type of edits that qualify for the "whose win would make most sense?" category, but if the Skiers do make the final 3, then I definitely see them winning per their edit.

A=Active, meaning there is an activity involved which is not a detour or roadblock (nor just instructions to go to another location.)
