Shouldn't we transfer all these comments into a thread for the show, I know I don't expect to see the results in this thread?

Terence & Sarah are on Bonnie Hunt today. How long ago was this TAR filmed? They are still together. She's not wearing a ring. He explained why he told Sarah not to talk to other couples while they were in an airport in Brazil. He said she is fluent in a number of languages including Portuguese. Other racers were asking her how to say . . . . Terence wanted to keep that "weapon" for themselves. The reason for his seemingly "hard game-play" was left out in editing.

Will tonight's show be running on time or will football be running late?

No football today so should be on time. My DH will be watching a 2-hour special on "24" that comes on from 8-10.

Are there two more shows after tonight's? Doesn't that mean that either this week or next week will be non-elim so that there are three racing to the final? If they don't do a non-elim tonight doesn't it make it pretty obvious that next week is a non-elim?

I think that I'm confusing myself. IMHO, non-elim legs are a waste of a leg. It seems like it's always someone who I really want to go that gets "saved" by the non-elim legs.

ETA: Of course, if it ends up saving Toni and Dallas I'll change my opinion

Can't figure out why Sarah would be wearing a ring, Colordeagua, since she's not married. Oh well, I'm likely the only TAR watcher here that admits I know what the logo on Terence & Sarah shirts were about...
My fave team from the getgo: Toni & Dallas

Now that you mention it, yes, my fave (without realizing it for a long time) has also been Toni & Dallas. They treat each other so nicely & gently, and work together as a fantastic team.

Since the frat boys have to do that additional road block for coming in last, I see them having no chance at F3. They suck at the challenges but do good at traveling. They end up in 1st place during the race & drop to the bottom after the 2 challenges - every time.

Assuming the other 3 teams will be F3, I will be happy with any of them & they are/have been the 3 favs of mine the whole show.

My best guess over the next 2 episodes

4th place- Dan & Andrew
They struggle at challenges so i just cant see them overcoming the speed bump to place in the top 3.

3rd place- Ken & Tina
This is the team that i believe will lose their PASSPORT. They have made a couple mistakes lately on reading clues so maybe mental fatigue is setting in. they wont realize the passports are missing till the leg is over or at the airport on the last episode.

this will lead to F2 instead of a F3 between Nick & Starr and Toni & Dallas.

Nick & Starr for the win

I will be so bummed if it is anyone but Frat boys that lose their passports. The others have have raced so well and are likeable for the most part.

If I had to guess I would guess Frats or Snick lose their passports. I actually think they lose or have their backpacks stolen or they leave somewhere and someone steals their wallets, since they lose their money also. They have to be seperated from their backpacks for it to happen or the camera guy would see and dont you think the camera guy would stop a thief?

Toni and Dallas for the win, I think they have gotten the winners edit. They showed Nick acting like a tool a couple times, esp earlier in race.

Lately the Frats have gotten an edit that makes us not want them to win, therefore they are 4th.

CBS sucks for never giving us reunion show for TAR. Evil stepparent that they are

Well, I started out not liking Ken and Tina very much, but they've grown on me. I think they've just grown. They're working better as a team, not so much bickering. I do like Nick and Starr, though, as well as Toni and Dallas. I could handle any of them winning, except for the Frat Boys (fat chance).

If I ever went on this show, I would try to make a habit of reading the clues very, very carefully. I think I'd spend my time in the cab studying the clue, rather than harrassing the poor driver. So many people seem to make mistakes not following the directions in the clues!

My guess is.....

Toni and Dallas 4th (I really wanted them to win but do not think they will)

Dan and Andrew 3rd (I think they loose thier passports but beat Toni and Dallas to the mat. They get stuck in Russia.)

Ken and Tina 2nd

Nick and Starr for the win.

see i dont think it can be dandrew that loses their passports. as soon as the russians heard dan's whining they would have a new passport asap and he would be on the next plane out of there!

It seemed from the preview (which of course could have been manipulated!) that a team realise they've lost their passports during this leg, rather than finding out just before they leave for the US next leg. It's got to be something big like having their backpacks stolen or they wouldn't notice.

I don't think it can be Nick and Starr as the trailer hinted it was them. If past performance were any indication, it would have to be the Frat Boys. I just hope it isn't Toni and Dallas!

If the team with the lost passports check in at the pitstop before they realise, and don't check in last, then it could be that there are only two teams in the final leg.

I would bet money it's not Toni/Dallas due to editing. I would bet 1000 its Frats and 100 it could be Married couple

at the beginning of the season in an interview with a producer, he said that 1 team doesnt make it to the finish line. so it should be a F2.

All the eliminated teams greet the final three at the finish line, so the producer might have just meant that the fourth place team couldn't be shipped to the finish line to greet the finalists.

It's not the first time a team didn't make it to the finish line. I remember one team in the past that was so far behind the others (one of the final three) that they just told them at some point, "It's over." They were just too far behind to make the filming in time.
