1. Gary & Mallory. Baited. Responded by freeing the worm from the hook.

2. Mel & Mike. In my dream scenario, they U-Turn Rail & Noose and set off a twenty-hour 'Doing anything to us within the rules is cheating!' confessional within the leg.

3. Kent & Vyxsin. Still fun, but this is practically a memorial placement after a horrific performance on the Roadblock, what looked like an endurance drop in the wind field, and overall weak racing to start the first leg. If the cowpoked hadn't out-duhed the pack, she'd be a surprise first elimination -- mostly on merit.

4. Amanda & Kris. Giving them a bump for having to deal with the second most unfair first-task punishment in series history. Otherwise, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsBoring

5. Zev & Justin. Handling themselves well so far and adding a touch of strategy, but the charm from the original run isn't showing yet.

6. Margie & Luke. Pretty much a 'meh' leg, but get into the middle of the pack for Margie's smooth handling of the shark tank.

7. Ron & Christina. This is a temporary position. Eventually, he's going to talk.

8. Jamie & Cara. 'Hello? 911? She's back. No, this is an emergency!' (They're only this high because they were genre-savvy enough to figure out it was a swimming task before locking in the Roadblock.)

9. Herbert & Nathaniel. Managed to turn their own stupidity into a temporary advantage. Wanna bet Zev & Justin's real plan was to haul along the ones who can't possibly beat the season-ending memory challenge? On any given day, these two have only a 50% chance of remembering their real names.

10. LaKisha & Jennifer. Incapable of change. Incapable of realizing change needs to occur. Incapable of a lot of things, and thankfully, that should include winning.

11. Jet & Cord. CBS playing the hero edit this time around is unforgivable. Revel in your idiocy, dress-up toddlers -- if the truth keeps spreading, it's going to be all you have left...
