1. Yeah,definately. They are the best team ever; great people doing one of the most dangerous jobs out there and my favorite !
2. Some people think Cord failed the virtual task. No, he didn't fail. Just took him longer than Dan/Jordan to figure that out. But Jet and Cord are really fast. If Dan/Jordan had not upgraded to first class, definately Jet and Cord would have a good chance to catch up.
3. At first I think Cord is stronger because of the balancing task, then after closely watching the noodle making task , the counting tasks and the drums task (Jet did get that quicker than Cord.) I think Jet is quite strong as well (though ep 1 he struggled with the flags).
So my final answer, they are equally strong !
4. Yeah! I watched season 16 over and over again. That's my favorite season. I would like to see more season 16 teams though. (Brothers, Detectives, Jeff and Jordan are all great teams) They all get along well with the cowboys. I'm kinda worried. Those teams in 18 will not be so nice to J/C. And they will end up doing everything on their own. (like the flags task)
5. They will survive eventually. But its hard to say if they get u-turned in S18.
