Finale Title 2/8 ~" 4 Continents,24 cities,40,000 miles"

That popularity poll shows the same thing that we have all been saying here. That we really do not like Adam and Rebecca that well, and do not want them to win.
So my question is ..... would cBS edit Adam and Rebecca so bad, that the majority of the viewers will be disappointed if they win? Obviously nothing can be done to make them better racers. But cBS, for the most part, has not shown either of them in a very good light. They have had their funny moments, but it has been mostly a negative edit for them.
Last season, the Bowling Moms were bad racers. But they were edited very favorably. If they had won, I believe most people would have been OK with it. This is not the case with Adam and Rebecca. Sure, we all have a good time laughing at just how much a momma's boy Adam is, and how much Rebecca has to mother him. But in the end, would we embrace them as winners? I don't think so, and that is why I don't think they will win.
At least I hope not! ]:,

I know ..... Flo and Zach were not that well liked. And they (she) got a very negative edit. But I don't believe that many people liked them winning. Of course, cBS cannot help who wins. But they can help to make them look nicer.
rmax:
Yeah, it's hard to know what "winner's editing" is. I mean, Flo got the editing she deserved because she was such a shrew and a whiner. The editors couldn't have made her look better. Like they say, you can edit out but you can't edit in, what's there what happens (I know, sometimes context is missing but for the most part, we're shown what happens and we can extrapolate from there). Colin/Christie sure looked like the winners, even with their unflattering editing (again, they showed us what happened when Colin was a jerk and Christie was a *itch).
So, Kris/Jon sure look like winners at this point, but I'm not counting on it. Adam and Rebecca may be getting the Flo edit.
Hi-Fi:
Well, i can't see other team winning besides Kris/Jon or Hayden/Aaron. Both teams are edited as the more competitive and are easily the best racers left.
The only team i can be sure will not win is Fred/Kendra.
