Nice thoughts CTGirl and dabeat! To me it's about who is peaking...I think Don and Nick peaked last week, they are thrilled to have made it into the final 3. I think the race for the big money will include TK and R and Ron and Christina....TK and Rachel have a last surge, is it enough to get them ahead of the first place team? Considering all of the editing of the show, I don't think it will be. I have pondered this alot this week as I think it will be a good finish...here's what I anticipate....all along it's been Christina that has stepped up to the plate and helped her dad calm down and learn to be constructive through the adventure, noting that his bad attitude is detrimental to their quest....we have seen him defer and support his daughter as she has taken the lead...and they have capitalized. I think in this last leg it will be Ron that ultimately steps up in constructive, level-headed ways to pull Christina through the final leg to the win.

I think an ending like this would make their editing come full circle....so many of us along the way thought their end point would be to have Ron change and conform, which he already has...I think there is a bit more to the complete edit....whereas I think the pinnacle of TK/R's edit came last week when they survived their poor finish and the speed bump. I also think D/N's edit ended with the comments from them after their third place finish, in the final three.
