Lantern7 November 9, 2015 Share November 9, 2015 You can pretend the Racers are burying all evidence of TAR26. Here are the leg averages after seven episodes . . . 2.43 Justin/Diana 2.43 Tanner/Josh 4.29 Denise/James Earl 4.43 Kelsey/Joey 5.24 Logan/Chris 6.00 Tiffany/Krista . . . and after taking each team's best and worst legs out . . . 1.40 Justin/Diana 2.40 Tanner/Josh 4.20 Kelsey/Joey 4.40 Denise/James Earl 5.40 Logan/Chris 6.00 Tiffany/Krista I wonder if Justin's fandom is the factor that would drive him and Diana towards the million bucks. A better question would be whether Diana would want to be with him even after finishing first in the final leg.

green November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) I saw the preview the same way. Justin thinks he is out finishing fourth and gets a reprieve because it is another final four. Though again the editing suggests the Reporters, always wanting to win just one leg, will win the last one and the season. Of course the previews show the Reporters on the far left and the Green Team on the far right at the mat so maybe implying they (Reporters) win this upcoming leg next week too. I just don't get Phil's line about "Guess you didn't see that coming." Because a final four is now the new norm. So that does give me pause. But then Phil has to work with the editors to do something to make it interesting I guess. PS: Hey I just thought of a great reason for Justin not to finish first next week. He decided to stop and go shopping at a mall in Hong Kong hoping to spot Oswald & Danny there.

But then Phil has to work with the editors to do something to make it interesting I guess. Yeah, that's the part that's got me wondering, because I'm sure Justin knows the last 2 races had a final four, and I'd be surprised if the other teams don't know that as well. So if Phil's saying that about a non-elim, then I have to give him a serious eye-roll. So I have to think (or hope) that's it's something that would actually be surprising. Such as: it's a race for last between J&D and the cheerleaders, and J&D finish third -- but are penalized for breaking a rule or not following instructions and therefore end up last. Phil's voice-over did mention something about big mistakes. Of course, "Guess you didn't see that coming" could just be referring to the possibility of J&D coming in last. You can pretend the Racers are burying all evidence of TAR26. Here are the leg averages after seven episodes . . . 2.43 Justin/Diana 2.43 Tanner/Josh 4.29 Denise/James Earl 4.43 Kelsey/Joey 5.24 Logan/Chris 6.00 Tiffany/Krista Is that actually right??

Lantern7 November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 Would it be a good thing if Justin & Diana were upset at the penultimate leg? As much as I hate seeing heavy favorites roll over the opposition (see: Rob Mariano, Survivor: Redemption Island), it would suck to see the Greens go. For one thing, you know they'd come back in a future edition. For another, you'd have a team that has been frequently in the back of the pack (Tiffany & Krista), a good team with unfortunate caps and little else going for them (Kelsey & Joey) and the Token Annoying Team (Logan & Chris). If Justin & Diana win, it would cap all of Justin's fantasies, and we'd probably never see him and Diana again . . . unless TAR decides to do another "Family Edition" in 15 years' time. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32475-s27-previews-and-speculations-no-spoilers/#findComment-1759626

Lantern7 December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Here's what I figure will happen . . . Justin & Diana have a tough leg, and Phil will try to deke them into thinking they finished fourth, but it'll be third, and that causes Justin to collapse (in relief, as opposed to what happened to Joe on Survivor). And seeing how the commercial online doesn't have Tiffany or Krista, I'd say that they finish fourth, and TAR will break with their recent pattern, eliminating them from the final leg. ETA: Holy crap. I'm never that on the money on anything. Here are the leg placement averages heading to the final leg: 2.09 Justin/Diana 3.55 Kelsey/Joey 4.43 Logan/Chris Anybody who isn't a fan of the Greens can take solace in knowing that a win would still not be enough to overtake Rachel & Dave's blistering 1.83 pace from TAR20. I think they'd tie Megan & Cheyene for second all-time with 2.00. Also, a win would make Justin & Diana less likely to come back in a future season. And better them getting the money than the Paparazzi, who suck on many more levels. ETA2: I'm basing the all-time stats on this post I whipped up prior to TAR23. I might need to update it.
