Ranking the Teams -- A basis for comparing all teams (TAR 1 - 33)
theschnauzers:
The two teams eliminated since Eliott-Andrew's elimination 4 legs ago, were the lowest average placement team that week.
This season is remarkable for the overall consistency we've been seeing. This is half way through the Race, and I think it's a good bet that at least two of the final three teams will be two of the teams at the top at this point. That's happened a few other times (season 1, season 9) and it's one of those seasons where only two teams have won half the legs in the Race already.
It'll be interesting to see if we ever get a leg that really shakes things up. A lot of the legs this season have had a linear quality about them. A team might have a better leg one week and fall back, or have a poor leg, and then rebound, but the overall lack of shifting placements is really surprising.
Best Loser:
What I really find interesting is that there are times when all the teams are grouped together, and even then the teams all seem to fall into the same basic order. I think the only ways there will be any real shake up is if a Road Block was a luck task or if the "better" teams got on a flight that arrived after the "not better" teams.

I can't help but to agree with this. Art and JJ and Dave and Rachel are really "good" and "competitive" racers as compared to the other "mediocre" teams this season.

:lol: You got your wish and Art and JJ won the next 3 legs. :lol:

Some movement among the bottom three, but we still have two teams finishing the leg with a tied average placement, and there's a sign of very slow momentum among the top three teams;
