The Amazing Race S29 Power Rankings (Top 7)

Apr 27, 2017 by PowerRankings101

So I was half right. Right about Shamir’s ego getting the boot, wrong about the non-elimination (though I wasn’t surprised). I WAS surprised that Liz and Michael took such a dip in the order of finish, so these rankings are going to be extra weird (also considering we have another u-turn). Here we go.

7. Brooke & Scott (#TeamBrookeandScott)- Brooke and Scott are towards the bottom, and I think everyone is just about as fed up with Brooke as I am. I came into this thinking Scott was going to be causing issues, but Brooke has just been unpleasant, and u-turn or not, I’m banking on them going home.

6. Vanck & Ashton (#TeamVanck&Ashton)- Vanck and Ashton have been up and down this entire competition. They had a bit of a hot streak, but here’s the thing…Matt and Redmond are ahead of them, and they want revenge. That spells terrible news for Vanck and Ashton, and they could be going home this week. I’m keeping them from the bottom only because I think they’re good when they put their mind to it, and could overcome the U-turn if they faced it. But it would definitely be a setback.

5. Becca & Floyd (#TeamFun)- Here’s the thing. I loved them, but now I only like them. There was something off-putting with Becca’s attitude when Floyd lost his passport. Also, their cockiness coming from the fast forward, only to finish in 3rd made me laugh, and almost root against them. Why don’t you just use the express pass, especially the last week you can use it? They might not be as smart as we think. They need to stop being cocky. They haven’t won a leg yet. I sense that they could have a downfall soon…we’ll see.

4. Liz & Michael (#TeamLizandMike)- I want to rank them lower, but with this u-turn, I just don’t see them being targeted. They’ve won two legs in the past, so I think they’ll be able to recover. If not, I’ll be stupid for ranking them this high. You can say “I told you so.”

3. London & Logan (#TeamLoLo)- They haven’t cracked 5th place..but they’re not a dangerous team, so they won’t be U-turned, and they’ve consistently gotten 5th place, so they probably won’t be in danger of elimination. They may not place 3rd, but with this U-turn, you never know. This could be their week to pull ahead.

2. Matt & Redmond (#TheBoys)- They will probably get their revenge on Vanck and Ashton. While I don’t know which side to root for, I can easily predict that Matt and Redmond will stay on top. Even if they’re U-turned, we saw how good they recovered last time.

1. Tara & Joey (#TeamMom&Dad)- You have to give credit to the people who A) won two legs in a row and B) beat a team who had both an express pass AND a fast forward. They’re strong going into this week.

Tara and Joey and Matt and Redmond are the clear front runners (at this point). Everyone else is almost up in the air with this U-turn, but I feel like this will be spring cleaning to get rid of some unwanted bad energy on this show…and there is a clear annoyance now that Shamir is gone.

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- Brooke & Scott
