Here’s the thing, we’re getting a double episode next week, BUT, there are still 2 episodes scheduled after that, so obviously, one of these legs is a non-elimination in order to have a finale of 3 people. SO, with that being said, let’s rank these final 5 teams assuming a double-elimination is happening at either the final 5 or final 4.
5. Brooke & Scott (#TeamBrookeandScott)- For this team to make the finale, I’d be very shocked. 3rd place was the highest they’ve ever placed, and that’s only because two teams were u-turned last week. I just don’t like Brooke, and I think that helps make my decision even easier.
4. London & Logan (#TeamLoLo)- They’ve been slowly and surely moving up the leaderboard, but 4th is still the highest they’ve gotten. Like Brooke & Scott, that’s not too impressive, so I don’t expect them to make it too far. I just don’t. But they keep hanging in there, so.
3. Becca & Floyd (#TeamFun)- They are currently at the bottom, but I hope they bounce back. I like these two, despite them driving me crazy at times. I just think their story arc is too big to not make the finale, or at least the final four, right? It’s not like we’re routing against them like Brooke & Scott?
2. Matt & Redmond (#TheBoys)- Anything can happen on this double episode, but I don’t seeing them falling victim to it this time. They haven’t really let anything bring them down. Unlike Brooke & Scott, and Logan & London, these guys have never gotten anything BELOW 4th place. So they won’t go out 5th. They haven’t ever been that low.
1. Tara & Joey (#TeamMom&Dad)- They’re back on top! Good for them, I’ll give them the top spot this week.
There’s bound to be a non-elimination leg (I have a feeling it’ll be in the first half of the 2-episode special). That being said, the deck is bound to reshuffle, so assessing by their placements right now, I think the Boys and Team Mom and Dad are fine, and Becca & Floyd’s edit is fine as of now. It’s time to get rid of the annoying team, and have a fun, well-spirited finale.
PREDICTIONS:
Going Home 1st- NOBODY (Non-Elimination Leg)
Going Home 2nd- Brooke & Scott

Belated, but I promise I haven't seen anything yet for this past episode. I'll try not to fall behind again! So this was a non-elimination leg, but with a double U-turn on the midst, are Liz & Michael really done for good? Let’s rank.
6. Brooke & Scott (#TeamBrookeandScott)- This is the team that will probably also dodge a U-turn, but could still get eliminated. They’re teammates who don’t act like it all the time, and that’s always bound for disaster. If I’m betting on anyone going home, it might finally be them.
5. Liz & Michael (#TeamLizandMike)- They’re so close to the bottom, but I don’t think they’re out. This U-turn will catch them up to where they need to be. If they get U-turned AND have to do their speed bump, that’s when danger arises, but who would U-turn a team that’s in last? Why not take out a top dog?
4. Becca & Floyd (#TeamFun)- They could get U-turned this week. They’re a strong team, and have proved that sometimes they can get way too optimistic or confident, when in reality, they do have their struggles. I could see them being a shocking U-turn boot. I really could. I hope not, but I really could.
3. London & Logan (#TeamLoLo)- They won’t be U-turned, they’re just not that threatening. They should sail by this week. They were never really a bad team, they just have been the least edited of all of them. So with that, I think they’re safe until their edit really picks up or they get 3rd or something in the finale.
2. Tara & Joey (#TeamMom&Dad)- Like London and Logan, their edit is fine but nothing to root for or against. They’ll be safe and probably survive this.
1. Matt & Redmond (#TheBoys)- They might get U-turned, but we’ve already seen that it doesn’t really affect them, as they are pretty fricken good at this competition. They’re the safest bet to survive this week, U-turn or not.
I think this is Liz and Michael’s chance to survive and bounce back. This may take out a top team, but Brooke & Scott could be the easy elimination choice. I’ll go with that.
PREDICTIONS:
Going Home- Brooke & Scott

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..
