Well I don't even watch this show but I've decided to give it a try next week since it's after Survivor (I didn't know this week)So here's my speculation/gathering of info:
1.) Deirdre and Hillary's Friends List:
Deirdre/Hillary were close to 4 teams
Hope and Norm = Eliminated
Danny and Oswald
Peach and Mary
Dave and Gary (lol they rhyme)
2.) Final popularity ratings for last year follow; the reason why I am putting these up is because the editing is different from Survivor....the editor of this show seems to put likability into the top few and most of the bad guys end up way down on the list, as shown by popularity (Again I didn't watch last year either so this is just my opinion based on the sites):
1. High
2. High
3. Loooow
4. High
5. High
6. Low
7. Low
8. High
9. Low
10.Low
11.Low
Current popularity in TAR2 (I realize this fluctuates over 12 weeks, but usually not by a lot for most people when there are 11 teams) By the end the highs and lows will be more definite I expect (50's on one end and 80's on the other) Please see the site for the rankings, I don't feel like typing the names out:
1. Mid-Range (70)
2. Kinda Low (60)
3. Mid-Range (76)
4. Mid-Range (68)
5. Low (37)
6. Mid-Range (66)
7. Mid-Range (72)
8. High (82)
9. Mid-Range (71)
10.Low (38)
11.Low (54)
Sooo comparing them, there was one definite villain team last year - I need to know were the Guido's hated from the beginning?
3.) CBS's comments on next week:
On the next leg of THE AMAZING RACE:
* A crush at the airport leads to mayhem and a desperate race to a faraway continent.
*Mary & Peach fear the worst when they are warned of imminent danger in a certain part of town.
*The "Gutsy Grannies" oversleep, and Blake must decide whether to wake them or let them snooze away their lead.
What does this tell us? Well if it's anything like the Survivor promo statements Mary/Peach, Peggy/Claire and Blake/Paige are safe for this week (although Hunter was mentioned in the interesting facts section last week....)
Will Blake wake his opponants? Why would he? Are he and his sister really sweet people who don't realize they're racing? This isn't Survivor and helping others won't help you much.
4.) Okay, still with me? I hope so.
IMO, the third elimination is still early and a team that has not been portrayed as amazingly likable will go. That means the targets are:
Chris/Alex
Gary/Dave
Cyndi/Russel
Factoring in Deirdre/Hillary's Friends List we have Gary/Dave going. However, since I'm not sure of the likability factor, (although looking at last year's, the first three were from the bottom half of the likability charts) and factoring in the entire friends list, my picks for the next two losers are:
Gary/Dave or Oswald/Danny
Whew now that's a lot of work for a show I've never even
seen. ^-^;;

Now let us never speak of S3 again.
