Kat being from Santa Monica hopefully will mean she is familiar with the LA area.

But Jill and Thomas live in Marina del Rey so also have home court advantage.

Each losing team that is still racing as a decoy team has called in to Elimination Station and talked with the folks there - the same thing took place this week with Vicki and Nick -

While I'm not a fan of J/T, it does seem that the three remaining teams have had the most first place finishes this season. That said, I'd prefer to see Brooke/Claire win, followed by Nat/Kat. (I know Claire bugs some of you, but Nat's toothy smile really bugs me. Reminds me of Giada. So I'll be shallow, too! <wink>) It was fun to watch the white water rafting, as well as the skating. It didn't show how long it took them to do the 24 laps, but it must've taken some time. If they weren't used to it, I can imagine they were pooped afterwards. Thus the pit stop, yes?

I really can't call this one- maybe J/T only because they're both from the area. It's all going to depend on who has the best strategy once they get to LA. And having some luck with cabs/other transportation wouldn't hurt either...

At finale time, I can't help thinking about the two supercilious guys who were in Alaska, 24 hrs or so behind the others, thinking they were still in contention, if not ahead of the others. Still makes me laugh.

I'm so sorry! I've been dealing with an elderly neighbor's medical stuff & have been preoccupied. Here's Elimination Station, Spoiler WARNING though if you watch it tells where they are going for End City: The Amazing Race 17 - Elimination Station: Via South Korea CBS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G1Gd1ZUWas ETA: Nevermind about the spoiler warning, looks like someone already told that they're going to LA.

Wow! That was one of the best realitytvworld exit interviews I think I've ever read, I usually post and then read it myself. Highly recommend. They asked some hard hitting questions, also answered several of the questions we've been asking here.

Brook bugs me; not Claire. And no comment on a grin making someone win-worthy. Nat and Kat have been positive throughout the entire season so I'm hoping they win it all.

I really like Claire! She's been gutsy even while admitting she's sometimes out of her element. Like not being a marathon runner. Her rappelling up that bridge, while Brook was endlessly screeching from the top, was awesome! I guess what I find irritating about Brook is the overkill with hamming it up. It seems like, yes she's trying to make big TV that people laugh about her antics - but more like she's trying to build potential TV exposure to get more gigs when the race is over.

Brooke just seems like she's having so much fun all the time, I can't help but enjoy her. She and Claire are just enjoying the heck out of the places they've been to. I know she can be over the top, but I find her very entertaining and funny. Kind of the class clown type. I think Claire deserves to win just for taking that watermelon in the face. And how many times have they shown that clip? Between this show, the Soup and YouTube, I've probably seen poor Claire get smashed in the face close to a hundred times!

I love both Nat/Kat and Brooke/Claire. I will be thrilled if either of them wins.

((((sigh))) I'm pissed. I read Vicki/Nick's exit interview. They had never watched TAR before (which is why they thought everyone could do a fast forward). Evidently her clients told her she should try out because she is athletic so they sent in a video to casting even though they had never seen the show.

Well, at least they applied for the show instead of being recruited.

Roxip, I guess... It is six of one, half-dozen of the other for me. I was pissed because Jeff/Jordan were recruited when they admitted they had never watched the show. Vicki/Nick applied and they had never watched the show. I want people who dream of running the race on the show. True fans - people who have seen every challenge and appreciate what the race has to offer to them - not someone who applied because they were told they should because "they are athletic." It just pisses me off.

Why oh why don't people do some research BEFORE applying for these shows? Just because some is athletic doesn't mean that person is going to win. In a race like TAR, brains often wins out over brawn!

I was thinking that "final city" was spoiled in previews, but, as I now remember it, it was spoiled in Elimination Station. I have LOVED the ES clips this time -
