Looking back, which of the now-eliminated teams surprised you? Who lasted longer than you had predicted? Who was eliminated earlier than you had predicted?For me, Kim/Leslie and Pat/Brenda surprised me by being eliminated so early. I had hoped Kim/Leslie would last longer, and Pat/Brenda seemed like a very strong team. I hadn't expected them to go 2nd and 3rd.
Nancy/Emily and Kevin/Drew also surprised me by lasting so long. After the first episode, I was sure they would both would go quickly. It seems Nancy/Emily got by more by luck than skill, but Kevin/Drew ended up being a very strong, smart team. Much better than the bumbling New York clowns we saw in the first episode.
Roses-Note
I didn't think David/Margretta would last as long as they did or that I would become so attached to them. The same goes with Momily and the Frat Boys. I thought Paul & Amie would go a lot quicker. They surprised me staying as long as they did. I'm glad they got the massage. It made me see them in a different light, if only for a little while.
Not at all surprised by the final three. I expected all of them to do well all along.
Actually, Matt/Ana (the first team eliminated) surprised me.I thought that an army couple would do well in the physical challenges and it's disappointing that they got disorientated and couldn't find the first pit-stop. It was dumb luck the way they got eliminated, similar to the way Paul & Amie were eliminated. If Matt/Ana were still competing, they would be strong.
Lenny/Karyn also surprised me the way they lasted so long. They didn't play as a team.
Naturally Nancy/Emily were impressive, too. I agree that after Epeisode 1 the Festers looked a long shot.
Good question... what do others think?
