The Amazing Race S32 Power Rankings (Top 4)

Dec 9, 2020 by PowerRankings101

Well I was wrong, and DeAngelo and Gary were NOT U-turned. In fact, they did the U-turning, and basically sent Eswar & Aparna out because of it. So now, we have the top 4 headed to the Philippines, which will certainly be an exciting leg. Let’s see if this final three alliance can make their way to the finale, or if DeAngelo & Gary will be able to squeak their way to the top three.

4. DeAngelo & Gary- DeAngelo and Gary could’ve won the leg if they had done the tile task right. This reminded me of the watermelon challenge. Had they not U-turned Eswar and Aparna, they’d be going home. One mistake has proven to sink their team on multiple occasions. With the other three teams working closely together, and Gary & DeAngelo having a few missteps toward the end of their legs, I really don’t see them cracking the top three. But again, they always start the legs strong, so maybe they will be able to make it through.

3. Hung & Chee- Hung and Chee didn’t necessarily do anything wrong in this leg, but they somehow fell behind Will & James and Riley & Maddison. I really think they have the consistency to make them one of the best teams this season, the only problem is that Will & James and Riley & Maddison have just been even more consistent.

2. Will & James- This whole season has been a product of Will & James’ strategy. Them not making the finale would be surprising. I really don’t know how if they’re leaders or followers within this alliance, but I truly think their masterplan to narrow the field to 5 then to 3 will surely work in their favor.

1. Riley & Maddison- Riley & Maddison breezed through another leg. They have been gaining so much momentum, and while Hung & Chee and James & Will have been extremely consistent, nobody has been as consistent as the Volleyball guys. While Hung & Chee were my favorites from the start, it’s no doubt that Riley & Maddison are the ones to beat.

This alliance of 5 worked. The alliance of 3 should do the same. But again, it is the final four, so there’s not much room for mistakes. We’ll see.

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- DeAngelo & Gary

The alliance ruined this season IMO. So many teams got screwed especially Eswar and Aparna.

1001games I agree that it's made the season frustrating from an entertainment standpoint. But I do think they utilized the strategy well. It obviously paid off, because the 3 teams are in the final.

This reminds me of TAR1, where teams did the same thing. This isn't a game based on alliances, but when CBS puts all of the racers on the same flight, the teams are bound to be neck-and-neck for a majority of a given leg, and they're more likely to help one another. I think, if they start separating them by flight a bit more, we may see less big alliances, as they won't be able to regroup at every leg.

I do think this is a strategy that is incredibly frustrating as a viewer, but I do give them props for executing it perfectly. CBS just needs to remedy the race's format so teams aren't inclined to do this again
