apocalypsosSo there's a girl at work who's never seen The Amazing Race, and I usually vent at her every Wednesday because I have no other TAR fans in real life to vent at. Anyway, I've discussed all of the episodes with her along with the spoilers I read last week about who gets Philiminated and when, and I think I've figured something out.
So, according to the spoilers I read, Freddy and Kendra are the next to go. Obviously, with Lori and Bolo nine hours behind everybody else and Freddy and Kendra in the lead, this presents a problem. But I think I've figured out how the hell they could end up getting Philiminated next episode.
The previews for next week show Freddy having a serious temper tantrum, and as much as it might be more realistic that the episode title, "One of You, I'm Gonna Break In Two" would come from either Lori or Bolo, I could have sworn Freddy yelled that in the preview, and if he didn't he sure had good cause to. Anyway, the only possible way I figure they could fall waaaaay behind at this point would be with a Yield.
Who'd give them a Yield? Well, Lori and Bolo are too far back to Yield them at this point, and Hayden and Aaron definitely wouldn't. As for the rest of the teams, the only one who would have a good reason to Yield Freddy and Kendra would be Jonathan and Victoria, since they were the team that kept them in second place last week.
In a dramatic point of view, it would certainly make sense -- distract the audience with that shot of Lori and Bolo sleeping on a bench with a thunderstorm coming (despairdespairdespair), then next week, Philiminate the team that was in first place last leg.
Don't mind me. I don't have anybody to discuss with in real life, so I have to babble here. :)
