Title: Most overrated/underrated teams ever?
Post by: BlooperGuy on May 24, 2013, 10:47:48 PM
Here you can lament why or why  not a team is as popular as is. For me, it goes like this.

Season 14
Overrated: Kisha and Jen (at the time)
Underrated: Christie and Jodi, Amanda and Kris

Season 15
Overrated:  Errrrr, well, none really. Although I was slightly surprised that there were many Brian and Ericka had as big of a fanbase.
Underrated: Flight Time and Big Easy (on site)

Season 16
Overrated: Steve and Allie, Carol and Brandy (eww)
Underrated: Jet and Cord (on site)

Season 17
Overrated: Gary and Mallory
Underrated: Jill and Thomas (just the wrong season for them, they might have been the Max and Katie if Brooke and Claire and Nat and Kat weren't casted at the time.)

Unfinished Buisiness -_-
Overrated: Gary and Mallory (more than ever :res: ), Ron and Christina
Underrated: None

Season 19
Overrated: Bill and Cathi, Amani and Marcus, Ernie and Cindy (in some cases)
Underrated: Jeremy and Sandy, Andy and Tommy (on site, everyone I personally knew loved them), Laurence and Zac (also underrated on site)

Season 20
Overrated: Vanessa and Ralph (trust me, if it was Nary and Jamie or even Joey "Fitness" and Danny instead of Vanessa, she would be  half as popular)
Underrated: Joey "Fitness" and Danny had plenty of haters, but I wouldn't classify them as underrated. Same with Brendon and Rachel.

Season 21
Overrated: Nadiya  and Natalie (on site)
Underrated: No one, to be honest.

Season 22
Overrated: Pam and Winnie (I sort of, and that's a big SORT OF, like them, but they were still overrated), Joey and Megan (on site, cause my friends and even my family believe they were flat out annoying), Mona and Beth (in some cases)
Underrated: Bates and Anthony, Caroline and Jennifer (in some cases)

Well, that's just me. Feel free to put you own.

Looking back I think Fran and Barry were a bit underrated. They were a good nice older team that won in a surprisingly hard leg and just had bad luck with their taxi in the first Australia leg.

Okay, perhaps not. Point conceded.

But Jeff & Jordan were overrated.

Overrated means that they were portrayed better than they were and underrated is the exact opposite :)

How I think of it is that an overrated team is one that was generally thought to be a good team when in reality they didn't do well and underrated means the exact opposite.

I think of it as overrated being a team who's liked by too many or they're edited to eat up all the screentime (Dave & Connor).

And underrated a team who deserve attention than they got (Mona & Beth.. I loved them in their last few episodes).

That's my definition too.

Except I don't think Dave & Connor were overrated. What they accomplished (coming in first place with that injury) was quite impressive.

There is no way that Nicky & Kim are overrated considering casuals didn't even care for them lmao.

Nicky & Kim were ROBBED and overly underrated. :( They actually were one of the shining star in the most boring F6 ever of season 23, along with Tim & Marie. <3

For recent season, I think Matt & Ashley were a bit overrated. Like okay, they are likable and their constant melting down over a little thing is funny to watch. But with 999 OTT's teams that season, they're not really that polarizing.
