Red team - female/female [URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=6732"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504c0c1f5f97079.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 2.

They were then thought to have flown to [B]Ghana[/B], and were most recently spotted flying from [B]Stockholm, Sweden [/B]to [B]St. Petersburg, Russia[/B].
Wow, seems like a lot of female/female teams this year. Hopefully one can win the Race! Also, why so many beauty queens? And another one from SC already? Humph.
The first team looks to be mother-daughter, but I could be wrong.
They have a lot of beauty pageant contestants on this show...Wasn't Caite from last season one also?
[QUOTE=molds13;183414]The first team looks to be mother-daughter, but I could be wrong.[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking too.
A couple more: [B]Andie Dekroon[/B] (43) is a Catholic mother of a blended family (9 kids). She is from *******, GA. She is joined by [B]Jenna Sykes[/B] (21-22), a film student at UGA. They are believed to be mother/daughter or mother/stepdaughter. Andie is on the right.

Some more information about the route (from RFF): Boston, MA -- London/Stonehenge, England England -- Accra, Ghana Ghana -- Sweden (speculated) Sweden -- Unknown Unknown -- St Petersburg, Russia Russia -- Unknown Unknown -- Unknown Unknown -- Hong Kong, PRC PRC -- Dongducheon, South Korea South Korea -- Los Angeles, CA

Rachel is on the right. Here's a better picture. [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=6975][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504c3344c7aa57b.png[/img][/url]

They were also co-workers at HSN. [URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=7106"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504c435814afff4.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=7107"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504c43582056bb8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] They are supposedly in the final 3.
Quality picture of Claire. ;) Hopefully this beauty queen is better than the last one.
Yeah, I read somewhere that Brook & Claire are in the final 3 along with the unidentified blue F/F and Chad & Stephanie.
From RFF: Apparently there is a new twist this season, called the "Express Pass". They think it could perhaps be a way to skip a task before doing it in order to save time. It can only be used once, kind of like a mini Fast Forward.
RFF is guessing (based on team spottings) that the eliminated team is either Andie and Jenna, Ron and Tony, or Stephanie and Chad, leaning more toward the first two who had not been spotted since the first leg. I'm also pretty excited that they think that 2 of the final 3 teams are F/F (Brook and Claire, and Nat and Kat).

I've been wanting a F/F team to win forever and I have my fingers crossed that one of them will and I'm hoping I actually like them better than previous F/F teams.
Info for Sunday's finale, thanks to RFF: Teams fly into LAX, take cab to Vincent Thomas Bridge (connecting San Pedro and Long Beach). Bungee task at the Port of Long Beach. Take helicopter to Rose Bowl, Pasadena. Take cab to Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills (finish line). There is a memory task in there somewhere, likely between the Rose Bowl and the finish line. As far as the bungee task, at that point the order appears to be: 1. Nat/Kat 2. Jill/Thomas 3. Brook/Claire It looks like Nat and Kat are the first team to get to the Rose Bowl.
Definitely give me hope for that F/F team win!!!! :D
Bah! Here is Nat/Kat arriving at the Rose Bowl...the white building behind them is one of the bathrooms scattered throughout the parking lot.

I have used that bathroom behind them many times... [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=8425][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/15504cfed512b5827.png[/img][/url]

[QUOTE=fabulous788;225270]Definitely give me hope for that F/F team win!!!! :D[/QUOTE] I would rather it be Brook and Claire though.... I just think Nat/Kat probably need the money the least out of ALL the teams this race, and I know that shouldnt be a factor but since I work in a hospital where everyone is having pay cuts with the exceptions of doctors its a little irritating that they are likely the winners.

They'll probably spend the entirety of their winnings (which would be ~$300K each) on their student loans.

Yeah they need money the least, I understand student loans are expensive for medical school but they make their debt in their first year. I'm sure they are doig fine, actually more than fine.
[QUOTE=TSPKM;225371]Yeah they need money the least, I understand student loans are expensive for medical school but they make their debt in their first year.

Just because they are doctors doesn't mean they are less deserving, or that's what I think.

Plus, I distinctly remember Brooke and Claire saying that they make plenty of money in their jobs and are just doing the race for the fun and experience and that they don't need the money. Jill and Thomas seem to be the least well off but I don't think that should automatically make them the most deserving.
Per RFF: Teams are doing some sort of float decorating task at the Rose Bowl.
