Yes, they have had a communication advantage, but it was luck and skill that got them to the point where they could take use it. Besides, there was the opportunity to defeat them in the swimming/synchronized diving detour; luckily for T&V, the sisters were even worse.

It would be a surprising upset if Jaime and Cara won the Race.......
