I”m behind on watching, but finally getting around to ranking the top 7 AGAIN on the show, considering Nicole & Vic got a non-elimination leg. Going into this episode, I will be ranking the teams on not only how well they are positioned for the race, but also considering the U-turn vote where a team (or two?) will be U-turned by a consensus of the rest of the teams. It’ll be interesting for sure.
7. Rachel & Elissa (Sisters; Big Brother & The Amazing Race)- Rachel & Elissa are a very easy target for a U-turn. They’re inarguably the weakest team left by statistics. I do think Rachel racing a record breaking leg could be the only reason the other teams don’t U-turn her, but I don’t see a situation where Rachel & Elissa survive a U-turn if they DO get U-turned.
6. Nicole & Victor (Dating; Big Brother)- I was shocked that Nicole & Vic came in last, but as long as they’re still around, I believe they have a chance to win. The thing is, they have a speed bump, but the speed bumps haven’t stopped Bret & Chris or Rachel & Elissa in the past. My only concern is if they get a speed bump AND a U-turn. That would pretty much seal their fate. So while I think they’ll be okay, I don’t think they’re completely out of the clear.
5. Colin & Christie (Life Partners; The Amazing Race)- They are definitely one of the strongest teams, never placing lower than 4th. They’ll surely be targeted for a U-turn. This could knock them down a few pegs, which is why they’re so much lower than usual on this list.
4. Leo & Jamal (Cousins; The Amazing Race)- Leo & Jamal got 4th, which is the highest they’ve gotten since Leg 2. It’s been disappointing for them, but they might be on the up and up. Good thing for them is, I don’t think they’ll be the ones targeting for a U-turn because they’ve been performing poorly lately
3. Chris & Bret (Friends; Survivor)- Chris & Bret should be way lower, but think about it…they’re the smallest targets, nobody is going to U-turn them. Because of this, I don’t think they go home. In fact, I think they have one of the lowest chances of going home.
2. Becca & Floyd (Friends; The Amazing Race)- Team Fun and Tyler & Korey have been U-turned in the past, so I don’t think anyone would give it to them again. For that reason, I keep them up toward the top of the list.
1. Tyler & Korey (YouTuber Friends; The Amazing Race)- Two 1st places in a row…threat status is high, but they’ve already been U-turned. Nobody’s going to do that to them again. They’re both really good at the race, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to dominate this race.
I think Rachel & Elissa, Nicole & Victor, and Colin & Christie could be in danger of a U-turn, but one of those teams REALLY shows no chance of bouncing back from it.
