Well, that is true, but we know that average is going to take a hit in the Bangladesh episode. At least comapred to J/T and N/K.

Poor Brooke and Claire.
But you never know. The Lyns were Yielded and still come in second. :tup:

But do averages really matter? In last season's final Jet and Cord averaged 2.5, Dan and Jordan averaged 3.5 and Brent and Caite averaged 4.3. Through week six (halfway) D/J were averaging 6.1.
But some winners have good averages, Tammy and Victor only finished outside the top 3 once and Meghan and Cheyne only finished outside the top two twice. It is not a qualifying statistic.

Ask Eric and Jeremy about averages and what they mean. I'm sure they'll have lots to say about it.

The Yield cannot be compared to the U-turn. The U-turn is 100% lethal while the Yield rarely eliminated the yielded team.
It was usually worse for the Yielder. Remember when Bj and Tyler yielded Mojo and finished last. Or in the leg you mentioned D/K finished in last after yielding "the lyns". Or when Oswald and Danny yielded Eric and Danielle and finished in last. Or when Adam & Rebecca yielded Freddy and Kendra and finished after them. Maybe Charla and Mirna were right about "yield karma."
