Ernie - Cindy.................3.571..........3.833..........3.600..........Stable
Laurence - Zac................4.142..........4.000..........4.000..........Stable
Jeremy - Sandy................4.285..........4.000..........4.200..........Stable
Amani - Marcus................5.428..........5.666..........5.400..........Stable
Bill - Cathi..................6.142..........6.666..........6.800..........Rising Slowly

Liz - Marie.......7.800 (eliminated)
Kaylani - Lisa....7.000 (eliminated)
Ethan - Jenna.....7.000 (eliminated)
Ron - Bill........9.500 (eliminated)
At the moment, Andy-Tommy would have the eighth best average placement ever, if their current average (2.428) were their final average (yes, even with 5 first places out of seven legs). The only team ever with a better average after 7 legs is Eric-Jeremy (TAR 9) who had a 7-leg average placement of 1.285 (5 first places and 2 second places).

The order of the five remaining teams has not changed in three weeks. and this suggests the relative strengths of the teams are pretty well set. The odds favor Andy-Tommy, Ernie-Cindy, and Jeremy-Sandy as the final three teams, but given the relative closeness among the five teams , there is room for a surprise by the time we get down to the final three teams.

Thanks for the analysis! It's amazing with 5 leg wins Andy and Tommy still do not have the best averages thanks to their sucky first leg. :lol:

Yeah, it's interesting how several really good teams have lousy first legs that ruin their averages. Derek & Drew, Colin & Christie, and Ron & Kelly come to mind.
