Yes, they started in 4th Place after a bad leg, about 2 hours behind the 1st team, and an hour behind 2nd and 3rd. Who knows why, but they ended the Roadblock (very beginning of the leg) in 2nd place and had a great advantage to the other teams when it came down to going to Hamburg. Then, they were tied, and they were able to complete the Detour in 1st and then win the leg. Really, they made me happy, just to see that some teams are not predictably in 1st forever, and that they can run tough legs without making mistakes.

If they continue this way, I won't mind if they get the million bucks.

I think the reason Marcus and Amani moved up to second place is their navigational skills on the driving  made up some time plus their ability to do what amounted to a very difficult set of poses quicker than 3 other teams.

Do you really want Marcus and Amani to model the behavior of the least deserving Amazing Race winners ever? Chip and Kim got multiple incredible breaks that allowed them to win. If Marcus and Amani win it should be because they actually earn it and I bet that's the way Marcus will want to win AR19.

Prophet:
Chip and Kim were not the least deserving winners ever. I believe that Dan and Jordan and Uchenna and Joyce had more luck. Chip and Kim possessed skill at tasks and placed in the top 4 in 10 of the thirteen legs. The other two members of the TAR5 finale had each been saved by a NEL.

ETA: To be fair Uchenna and Joyce had a much better average than Dan and Jordan.
