Season 16 = Dumbest Cast Ever...?

:lol: That could become one hell of a season, maybe letting Brent and Caite to be in the final five so that the hate continues.
ANYWAY, everyone please give credits to Dan and Jordan. They're the only team to feel that U-TURNing Carol and Brandy was a stupid dumbass move.

For some reason I can't frickin' explain, I think Dan/Jordan are the most underrated team of the season. They've done fairly well (being the first team smart enough to search for Allan OUTSIDE the building and winning the FF in the process). They're more competent than Louie/Mike and Brent/Caite. I'd put them on a par w/ Jet/Cord in terms of overall abilities, since both are sometimes careless and Jet/Cord lack mental thinking while Dan/Jordan lack physical abilities.
I miss Steve/Allie!!! Although they were dished the ultimate hatred of the editors of the season, they made the race fun.
georgiapeach:
Underrated is right! Ihey are young and strong, and Dan seems very athletic and FAST.
And Jordan is a huge fan of the race and knows all the nuances and things to look out for and strategies such as moving to the front of the plane. I love that they clearly have had a well thought out strategy for this race, and are sticking to it, and it is paying off hugely right now.
Also love how they sass Phil in the Insider Videos. :lol3:
I miss Steve and Allie too...they were a JOY to watch.
ANd loved too how Jordn and Brandy knew who Allan was!!! :yess:
DavidJunior:
I think Dan and Jordan are actually becoming my last minute favs. which is really weird, because I usually don't switch after halfway (or really leg 2 or 3), let alone in the final stages of the race.
but, they've kind of blossomed into a fun, competitive, and even formidable team.
Good job, guys!
And I miss Steve/Allie too! But, they were one of the "feel-goods", and we all know that- for the most part at least- feel good teams, don't quite make it to the end. and the seasons become a little less cheery at that point. :(

And, I think it's the first time that we have the entire Final Four teams with poor racing performances?

Luke, I've already posted this in the TAR16 speculation thread, but I'll reiterate that the final 4, the final 3, and the entire cast will make some historically bad accomplishments, based on the spoilers.
TAR16 accomplishments (based on spoilers):
[*]First cast in TAR:US history to not have at least 3 teams with an average placement better than 4. (The following two are corollaries of this accomplishment.)
[*]First cast in TAR:US history with more than 1 team in the final 4 with an average placement of 4 or worse.
[*]First cast in TAR:US history with more than 1 team in the final 3 with an average placement of 4 or worse.
[/list]
Dan & Jordan or Brent & Caite winning would make either team the first winners in TAR:US history with an average placement of 4 or worse, and the absolute worst performing winners in TAR:US history.
(Thanks to theschnauzers for the stats.)
These are the worst two performing winners right now.
06-01 Freddy/Kendra 45/13 3.4615
11-01 Eric/Danielle 47/13 3.6153
The spoilers have Jet & Cord/Brent & Caite/Dan & Jordan finishing, respectively, 1-2-3 in both legs 10 & 11.
If the spoilers are correct, Dan & Jordan would win the race with 52/12 or (4.3333).
If the spoilers are correct, Brent & Caite would win the race with 51/12 or (4.250).
If the spoilers are correct, Jet & Cord would win the race with 29/12 (2.4166).
Jet & Cord, running the table, would give them a better average placement than Nick & Starr who have (2.4545).
The problem that I have with elevating Jet & Cord to the level of a great team is that they have made at least 4 blunders on the race: getting Brazilian currency, finishing the intersection first with Louie & Michael but finishing the leg fourth, going to Champagne without double-checking, and not carrying the bottle with them to the Pit Stop in the Seychelles.
A great team would be wiping the floor with these other teams.
AmazingDT:
I think the strongest 4 team this season are:
Joe and Heidi: Even with a bad knee, Joe managed to push through and keep a good placement.
Jet and Cord: I know that they've made a few mistakes but they quickly erase them
Monique and Shawne: Strong female team. They seemed to have good attitudes and were knowlegdable
Steve and Allie: Very consistent!!!!! (except for the elimination) DONT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME! :lol:
