Thanks, Croc. :-)

Now I've reread what hagiz posted I'm not sure if what they said was serious or if they were taking the piss out of apple.

I did want to know though so again, thanks.

It's been sketchy.... I believe we had nothing on the final IC in Gabon. We did not have the F3 in HalfASS, although some thought that the F4 (balance on poles while filling tubes with water) was the final challenge before the finale aired. We had video of the China Final IC. In Vanuatu we heard it was an endurance involving bow and arrow. The final challenge was semi-spoiled in Thailand, we knew it was some kind of endurance in a cave. There may have been more.

I said it a few last week, that final 3 might not be endurance. I doubt they'll have 2 endurance challenge so close, but then again if it's not endurance why we haven't seen any promo of it?

Did we get a promo of the final 2/3 challenges in China/FVF/Gabon? They were more concentration (although in some minds that can be the...

This could get tricky...looks like JT and Taj have passed each other in one of the legs. Definitely would cause a slow down trying to maneuver around folks, or worse yet, to get stuck. The winner may be the one who has the least number of encounters with folks in the spider legs.

Also, Taj appears to have 3/4 bags thrown on the puzzle platform. Can't tell how many for sure looking at the clip sequence. Looks like she's lost her bandana along the way, too, and is the last...

Which would suck, imo. But the fact that they just had an endurance IC makes me think you could be correct. I just really like it coming down to straight-up willpower to see who gets to choose their opponent.

Guys, I think the spider challenge may actually be at F3, and there's just an extra table and dreamteamer there to throw us off.

I don't think that there is necessarily an endurance/willpower Final IC, even if it's as small as the one in Micronesia. They might be starting a new trend with Gabon of the Final IC being more focused on accomplishing a task.

I think JT will win the rest of the challenges only because a challenge run was mentioned during Tyson's boot episode. And we shouldn't discount JT for being 'thick as a plank'.. although he's a cattle farmer, he does have a university degree in business administration ;)

Yeah, but that was because he was trying to use actual arithmetic order of operations, rather than MB math.

He did have a much much longer time to dechipher that math puzzle though, That could be considered "thick as a plank" lol. And it wasn't as if the math problem was difficult or something, so I think we can infer that he is probably the weakest at puzzles. That being said, I still think he will win lol.

I wonder if that "puzzle" already on their table is the base of something three-dimensional they're going to have to put together. Just putting flat pieces in the cut-out holes doesn't seem terribly challenging.

I don't think we know anything about JT being "thick as a plank". He's not a puzzle #%$%$#*, but he's been as good as anyone. Also, if it's something you put together, rather than something you figure out like a math equation or a...

Except that's he's thick as a plank when it comes to puzzles. I just hope the puzzle portion is challenging enough to give the others a decent chance. Unless those crawl spaces are really small and he has a lot of trouble getting through.
