BEST SEASON EVER!

4 teams left and I'd be happy with any of them winning. And finally the first genuinely unlikeable geek with no redeeming qualities! And the least charismatic team in the history of the show finally left.

On any show that's supposed to have any credibility, I'd have hated the twist but on a show like this or America's Most Smartest Model, it's gold to help weed out the predictability. Anything to get rid of the ringers is great.

It's like complaining Survivor was "rigged" for Ozzy/Terry/James to go far - they have their obvious advantages, but they could have easily been gone in many of the earlier challenges. If they've rigged anything it's the method of picking the winner, but that was a necessary change after the Season 2 debacle that lost huge amounts of viewers, cancelled the reunion and put the show in jeopardy. I've no doubt they want the antagonists to go far - but the fact is that's happened naturally on the successful seasons with Richard and Cecile and it's likely to happen again, given how pathetic Season 2 was when that didn't happen.

It's actually the nature of this show that shouldn't result in challenge whores

Counterpoint: Look at the geeks in Season 2 and who won the safety challenges - 4/6 were won by Josh or Joe. And the ones the others won the most rigged - Tyson won the singing solely because of his Rubiks skills and Wes won the speed-dating because he was the most physically attractive. 8/11 challenges were won by the 4 of the 16 castmembers!

Season 3 was a little more diverse but none of the first four teams to go won anything (Jennilee/Niels won the equivalent of the Wes challenge based solely on being the more conventional looking geek).
