The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
Ranking the Teams -- A basis for comparing all teams (TAR 1 - 33)
theschnauzers:
I forgot to put the teams in order of average placement but as I said before, those three teams have basically been within .2 placements of one another for most of the Race so there's little practical distinction.
I'll get the leaderboard averages up tomorrow. It's late, and Lieb has to have her playtime while the sun is up, and she is a ball of energy!

Some "firsts"
First time I've see final three teams this close going into the final leg. (There have been two teams tied, or nearly so, but not three. And these three teams have 9 of the 11 leg winners.
Also unusual, the spread between fourth and ninth place is unusually tight. (from 4.6250 to 5.4000 and when you add in the top three teams the range is 3.0000 to 5.4000, again a very tight spread.)
This says to me that this may have been the season with the greatest spread of parity ever.
Next week, we'll give the final averages that will go into the main list for season 17, and Show contenta look at season 18.

:jumpy: Simply the reason why Season 17 is awesome!
slayton:
Rob used the phrase "stacked themselves" for TAR17, and I agree that TAR17 is one of those seasons that has a more level playing field unlike seasons such as TAR1, TAR2, TAR4, TAR9, TAR10 or TAR16.
The alpha-male teams are the Michael Jordans of the race, and this is one of those seasons where Jordan is playing baseball.
The dominant co-ed teams are probably like the Hakeem Olajuwons of the race.
I still haven't decided if Jill & Thomas are more like Hakeem Olajuwon or Patrick Ewing, but production wanted parity in TAR17 and they got it.
inomu:
I noticed that Dustin & Kandice, Ron & Kelly and Rob & Kimberly are not in blue in the first post but they should be.
This list is so interesting. What an amazing all-stars it would if the top 11 teams battle against each other! :cmas28
