There was also season 7 where an all male team was eliminated first. In fact more all male teams have been eliminated first then all female.

TAR10 also saw a men's team go out first, mswood -- and not even at a Pit Stop, either!
And only two women's teams have gone home first -- Deidre & Hillary (TAR2) and Gina & Sylvia (TAR3). The rest were men's teams and coed teams.
And to be fair to Scott, he'd probably have done a lot better had he gone on the show with someone other than John.

Men usually do a little better in this race then women do, it sounds sexiest but it's true, beside Chris&Alex who were mostley lucky all other male teams wining this race where strong teams.
I think the problem is with the casting, CBS should cast female teams that are fans of the race and really want to win it like Linda&Keren, Charla&Mirna, Mary&Peach and Lyn&Karlyn and not women who want's to promote their non existing acting careers or completly lost cases like Marisa&Brooke or Pat&kate.
Dustin&Kandice where truly a stong team , they did a lot of dumb mistakes but still a strong one. but most of the teams that where casted under their type casting don't do as well and trying to recast them in the past two seasons did bring the wanted outcome.
I don't know how their current replacments Cara&Jaime would do in this race and i don't think it's importent, the casting people in CBS should work a little harder with the female/female teams and don't cast the same pretty athletic girls over and over again.

Rob & Brennan, Chris & Alex, Reichen & Chip, Tyler & James.
Thats only four, but its besides the point. Should we stop having fit young couples because they have won the most races?
Now whats interesting is that most of the times young fit women lose, it isn't due to a strength tasks. It's usually based on mental tasks (or choices of tasks). Please remember that they beat a tougher male/male team of Eric/Jeremy wo win AR9.
Lets look at the seasons.
Season 1: REally didn't cast young fit athletic women, the closest was Kim & Leslie and they lost due to not following the clue.
Season 2: Mary & PEach. Killed by failure to follow the clue, that was double impacted by being late and still going after FF.
Season Three: Heather & Eve killed by failure to follow the clues instructions.
Season 4: Tian & Jaree (I don't consider Monica & Sheree who were killed by not being able to get around India) killed by their choice of tasks (they took the passive task and that allowed another team to pass them.
Season 5: Karli & Kami were young, I am not so sure about fit. They were killed for being slower then everyone (including two middle aged women). Behind in every aspect of their final leg.
Season Six: Meredith & MAria couldn't drive or navigate if their lives depended on it. Lena & Christy finally we have a team were the physical condition of the task was a big part f the reason they lost (that and very possible not paying enough attention).
Season 7: Megan & Heidi completely unprepared for the stress of the race (their own words), Debbie & Bianca in a place were they spoke the language better then anyone they drove to the wrong side of the continent.
Season Nine: Dani & Danielle killed because they couldn't navigate (which made back in the pack and victims of the Yield, only successful Yield)
Season Ten: Kelly & Jamie because they couldn't navigate, Dustin & Kandice a careless mistake with location, and then choosing the slower task.
Season 11: Dustin & Kandice unable to finish a non physical task.
Season 12: Marianna & Julie last due to helping the team that was behind them. Shana & Jennifer last due to navigation and a mental task.
Season 13: Melissa & Brooke hopeless, Kelly & Christy had a killer day that was created by them not reading and following the simple instructions of the clue.
There is one example where the physical nature of the tasks made it easier for the a fit athletic man to do it. One.
So I can't hold that fact against young fit male teams.

mswood, I agree with Ashe. When you add BJ & Tyler (male and fit last itme I looked), you have 5! Thye had to beat Eric/Jeremy for that win, a tought male/male team.
Jobby:
BJ and Tyler = Shagged Alpha Male Version
Non alpha male = John/Scott T_T
Anyway, i guess Linda/Steve are toast.
TARAsia Fan:
1. Gut reaction, who's you final three? Jennifer & Preston, Cara & Jamie, Tammy & Victor
2. Who is going to laugh their ass off (since the diet sure isn't doing it) when none of the three all female fit teams end up winning (again....)? mswood.
3. Who is already tired of Tammy's voice? Tammy if you are a shark at cards and have filmed a hot lesbian sex scene in "Bound" you get a pass on the voice, but thats it. mswood
4. Okay how many more seasons do I have to wait for a young fit all male team to be cast as racers again? Ten
5: Which teams gonna be the first to hit the mat? Amanda & Kris
