‘The Amazing Race: Australia vs. New Zealand’ finale preview: Ranking the top three
Thursday night in Australia, the season finale of “The Amazing Race: Australia vs. New Zealand” is going to finally air after more than a week off. There are three teams left, but at this point it is basically just “The Amazing Race Australia” all over again as we’ve witnessed five Kiwi teams go home one after the next.
In terms of the final three, we do have a group of teams left that could all be contenders in their own ways … even if we feel like there is still a pretty clear favorite of the group. We’re ranking here based on team placement, edit, and every other little intangible that we’ve picked up on this season.
1. Daniel & Ryan – They have the best potential to be dominant at this point. They’re athletic, smart, and move importantly, they are very calm and collected under pressure. They will not be deterred in the slightest by any challenge that comes their way, and would probably win a footrace.
2. Sally & Tyson – Unless Tyson manages to find a new bathroom to use, these two should be in pretty good shape. We worry about their decision-making given they were almost the first team eliminated from this season, but physically, few can compete with the two and their ability to work well together.
3. Ashleigh & Jarrod – With a little luck, they could probably win. They struggle mostly when it comes to staying calm, and doing tasks that also require a great deal of focus that goes along with that. They will be the quickest team to crumble if things start to go wrong.

I love all 3 Teams. So happy these 3 are in the Final. I have thought about it because I have a real soft spot for them all in different ways. Finally here are my hopes.
1. Ashleigh and Jarrod. They are the youngest Team and have married not long ago. They need the most setting up as all young couples do. That is the reason for selecting them first. The lovable larakins.
2. My favourite Boys, Daniel and Ryan. Love these guys and I feeld bad for not selecting them first. They are such genlemen and have never used any underhand tactics from day one. Classy performers.
3. Sally and Tyson. Although these guys are looking at paying for a wedding shortly, they are professionals and should have a bit stashed away for a rainy day. They are also class acts.
Really proud to be an Aussie. All these guys can hold their heads up high. Congratulations and all the best.
