How far would Eric and Lisa have gone in the race, and would Maria/Tiffany still be last, and in this case out?

Great question, DavidJunior! :cmas16
Maria & Tiffany would definitely be gone, because they took a 2-hour penalty after losing their two people.
In Leg 2, I presume Garrett & Jessica would still have had their duck troubles. I think Lisa seemed a bit more calm than Ericka or Jessica, so Eric & Lisa would survive.
Marcy & Ron go home in Leg 3 because of their bad Detour choice. Zev & Justin leave in Leg 4 from the passports. Lance & Keri still get lost in the UAE and leave on Leg 5. Mika & Canaan have the slide problems on Leg 6 and still leave there.
Leg 7 is where it gets interesting. I feel confident that it is quite impossible to struggle more than Brian & Ericka did on that leg, after they fell behind at the Roadblock and also had a penalty at the Pit Stop, so they would be eliminated, as Maria & Tiffany are already gone.
Leg 8 is the NEL and then in Leg 9, I guess that Gary & Matt would still go home, unless Eric & Lisa also did not know what a candelabra is.
Leg 10 is another NEL and Flight Time & Big Easy obviously leave on Leg 11.
So Eric & Lisa are officially in the Final Three! I don't know how well they would do there. :cmas5
There is a lot of guesswork in my scenario obviously, and a couple of things could've worked out differently, such as Eric & Lisa getting more lost than Lance & Keri in Dubai, or Eric & Lisa perhaps getting unlucky at the haybales and getting the Speed Bump on Leg 9. :cmas5
What if Preston & Jennifer outran Christie & Jodi to the Leg 1 Pit Stop on TAR14? How much further could they have gone, considering the problems experienced by other teams on certain legs?

I do... I firmly believe that you can put a five year old and a spider monkey in that race, and they would STILL make the final 3 over all those other teams (esp if we are doing my what if scenario).
I have never seen so many meltdowns, breakdowns, mental lapses, or so much general incompetency in one season... I'm still flabbergasted by it

You should remove Meghan and Cheyne from the generalization. The rest of the teams were... :cmaslol

Yeah, this is very true. Which is why I love 'What If' questions that are related to TAR15. :cmas16 If a team who was eliminated very early had survived, they are almost guaranteed a Final Three spot due to the extreme amounts of errors throughout the race course.
