--- Quote ---Phil also said for AR6 that the show was blessed with another close finish and it wasnt that close. Eveyone expected a foot race to be a close and it was not footrace. Its kind of 50:50 some teams say KJ were close others say even without the train KJ were not even close like 20 min behind. Victoria even said with the train KJ were 40 minutes behind and in no way is that close.
And lets face it had it been a foot race we would have be told like in the previews for AR2. Sorry but i think there is no way going to be a foot race. And i f it was one Rob and Amber would beat UJ anyway, so it could be close but more like a AR3 close not a footrace like AR2.

There is a difference btw close finish and foot race to the mat. What AR6 had was a close finish btw K/J and F/K, but Phil is stating we have a foot race of AR7 not a close finish to the mat. Take for example the footraces we have had this year the ones btw R/C and R/K, B/G and M/H, B/G and R/D. one more could not hurt either. I don't think they mention it in the previews because they don't want to give an exciting finish away. They don't want to give some secrets away from the final episode.

FK and KJ were close but not as close are AR1, AR2, AR3, or AR4 it you pan it up to other seasons it was not as close as others.
I think Rob and Amber do win and this is why. ROn and Kelly were seen as the only team on the flight but they were seen with UJ at the airport. We know UJ get mugged and could have been not reconizable as a team and thats why they were not seen on the plane with Kelly and Ron. Rob and Amber would have been noticable because they are from survivor and would have had bags, so its safe i think to say Rob and Amber were NOT on Ron and Kelly's flight.
The only other senario is that only Uchenna and Joyce make it on the flight with Rob and Amber, and then its a close finish.

I hope that Rob and Amber way out in front. However, for those who believe in the betting spoiler you observation would make sense.

Just putting some ideas forth to contemplate instead of the dust in your navel, unless it is Amber's navel and then you can contemplate all you want.
The biggest question in my mind is: Why do the teams seem to backtrack through Florida from Jamaica to Puerto Rico? and then a day later high tail it back to Florida again. Something is fishy here, so it may be that the producers have arranged for some small unlisted puddle jumping island hopping airline to ferry the teams from Jamaica to Puerto Rico. We do have scenes of Uchenna and Joyce (alone without any other team in sight) in front of the AJAS LIMITED position at the Kingston Airport (KIN). Maybe they just missed the first flight. This is similar to the situation in Botswana.
ROADBLOCKS: We can only have two since each team member can only complete six. Rob has done his six so Amber has to do the next two; Ron will complete his sixth with the water jump and Kelly will have to do the last one; Uchenna completes his sixth also in the water jump and Joyce will have to do the last one. Setting up an all-girl finale.
The water jump (it is not a bridge but some other type of conveyor that they jump from) is certainly one Roadblock with Amber, Ron and Uchenna all jumping.
What is the other Roadblock? The limbo which is done where? The golf drive which seems to be still in Jamaica.
DETOURS: Most likely at least two. We think we have CRAFT or RAFT which is either to build a raft or steer a raft down a rapidly moving river to spot some flag for the next clue. It looks like Uchenna and Joyce are ahead of Rob and Amber scrambling down the river bank, but change their minds about trying to steer that flimsy craft down the river by only using pole. They go back up to work on building the a raft along with Ron and Kelly. Meanwhile Rob and Amber swiftly complete the task and again gain a lead over the other two teams.
There should be a second detour, but maybe this is being held out for the Puerto Rico leg.
The water jump and the raft or craft task do not appear to be on the same day. Although Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly are dressed the same just before the water jump and raft/craft, Uchenna at the water jump has on a yellow shirt and Joyce has on a white shirt. At the raft/craft Uchenna has on a white tank top and Joyce is now in black.
Strange that we see Rob and Amber afte the water jump, and we see Uchenna climbing over the rocks all wet and meeting Joyce who is holding the next clue in her hand. But nothing of Ron or Kelly. I assume he did not drown in the attempt, but this certainly would break up their relationship which is rumored to happen during the first hour.
One more puzzle: RaceyGirl has established Uchenna and Joyce entering the SJU airport (they supposedly drove up in a black SUV but not visual confirmation of this) In this pix Uchenna has a yellow long-sleeve shirt on. Joyce has on a sleeveless white shirt. All well and good as this is how they were dressed when we last saw them. BUT in the other sequence of pix which some say also are at the San Juan Airport (American Airlines baggage claim area) Joyce is now dressed with black shirt although Uchenna is still in his yellow shirt and is holding the same black plastic bag (with belongings) This could be them arriving at SJU from KIN on the later AJAS LIMITED arranged flight. Joyce would have time that night to get rid of her black shirt (its hot even in December in the islands) and return to the SJU airport the next morning.
Time Frame:
Dec. 13 - Fly from Istanbul to London, complete London tasks, PITSTOP - POSSIBLE 36 HOURS (Makes sense to rest everyone up for the final two leg rush. Espcieally the camera crews who are going to be lugging all that equipment around in the hot and humid Caribbean)
Dec. 15 - Fly from London to Jamaica (either direct on Air Jamaica or American via Miami) Could do a task or two in London before leaving meaning they may be on overnight flight and arrive the next morning in Jamaica.
Dec. 16 - arrive in Jamaica and proceed with Roadblock (water jump with team all bunching up at opening of the mine or whatever)
also do Detour: Raft or Craft. Proceed to Montego Bay and complete Golf task which leads to Pit Stop at resort pictured in flash intros. This is Non-Elimination and Uchenna and Joyce arrive last and are mugged and stripped by Phil./
Dec. 17 - Proceed to Kingston Airport and get on special Ajas Limited flights from KIN to SJU. Proceed to do other tasks and end up at Morro Fort at night to complete Limbo task and receive departure times for the morning. Amber aces the limbo and Rob and Amber have huge lead on the other two teams. Ron and Kelly arrive late at night. No idea what happened to Uchenna and Joyce; did they even make it to Puerto Rico?
Dec. 18 - Rob and Amber arrive at SJU two hours ahead of the other teams and get on early American Airlines wide-bodied jet to Miami. Believe that they connect to another flight to the final destination which could rumor has it at Orlando Walt Disney World (but that is ABC affiliated so why would CBS want to promote it???) or as rumor has it because of Travelocity tie-in to Las Vegas.
This is just wild thinking so go ahead punch all kinds of holes in it. I don't mind. But lets try to come up with some kind of game plan before tomorrow night. I will mind if this turns into another damn Rob and Amber sort of thing. This is not the place for that. Damn me but not them.
