Judging by the way this show works, the beauty queens won, since they keep showing them fighting.
They try so hard to be dramatic that it gives away the winner. For instance, if two teams are racing to the finish and they show one team "lost" and the other team fine, the "lost" team is the one that will finish first. If in the "next week" previews, they focus on one team fighting or making a big error, that team usually does very well the next week.

No matter who wins, there will be an interesting tag line attached:
Beauty Queens: First all female team to win
E&D: First team to fall behind an entire day and come back to win
Mirna and Shmirna: First all handicapped team to win (Charla = little person, Mirna = mentally retarded).

I'm hoping y'all are right. the BQs would be a great win. Sure, they sucked in the beginning, but they finally got their pretty heads out of their hot asses and have been the clear leader the last several weeks.
YES!! Tonight will rock.

I just hope they have a challenging task after the final flight instead of coming down to whoever has the best cab driver - like the flag-order challenge they had a few seasons ago.
Given the overall lack of challenging tasks this season, I'm skeptical.

Cheering for the BQs, but as long as Charla/Mirna don't win...an E/D win will be OK with me. The CBS editing has me thinking though. All season Phil has been telling the BQs they could be the first all female team to win the race, but I don't recall him ever saying that to C/M. Misdirection by CBS to get everyone talking about the BQs being the first all female winners, when it's actually C/M that win?

Rooting for Charla and Mirna to win it all and make Amazing Race history as the first girl - girl team to finish first. Even if they don't win, you've got to give a lot of credit to Mirna. Because of Charla's physical limitations, Mirna has to do twice as much as the other teams, just to stay even. And yet, she manages to stay patient and very supportive of Charla throughout. If anybody else had been paired with Charla, they probably would have been eliminated in the first leg.
If Charla and Mirna can't win, then I hope Eric and Danielle do. They have all that good karma built up from being Yielded twice, so it wouldn't surprise me if they came in first. Plus, Danielle has a nice rack.
I hope hope hope the Yield Queens don't win it. Their bad karma needs to rise up and swat 'em in the ass.

Yeah, people who are non competitive by nature dont understand the purpose of the yield. They are the kind of people who would rather play Candyland than Monopoly.

Anyway, I'm getting nervous about tonight. I really like TAR, but I know that if Mirna and Shmirna win, I'll never again be able to watch it.
