Amazing Race Week 9: Picks

Tonight will probably be the last non-elimination leg, although Carl pointed out to me that they have done it with only three teams left at least once. Here are a few scenarios that could make Paul worry:

Jennifer and Nathan get non-eliminated tonight, and then eliminated next week in fourth place. This would give Dawn a 100 point boost (and cost Paul 60 points), which would put her back into contention.

Jennifer and Nathan win the race, while Rachel and TK exit third. This would give Carl hundreds of EP points and endgame bonuses, while costing Paul 70 points.

Nicolas and Donald are eliminated tonight. This would give Kim tonight's 60 FPF points, but more importantly, it would eliminate one of Paul's highly ranked teams before they had a chance to earn him any endgame points.



Here are our First Place Finisher (FPF) and Elimination Picks (EP):
