Last week's premiere gave us a lot of drama and a fast paced leg but surprisingly, the new rankings don't deviate too much from my initial ones last week.
That's not necessarily because I was spot-on with my predictions (because we all know that's never the case) but rather several of the teams got little screen time. Therefore, they didn't have an opportunity to show us anything new they are bringing to the Race.
The first episode was dominated by two main events: The non-start of Bopper/bringing in a substitute Kentuckian and the beautifully epic meltdown of the twins. Both of which were welcomed by me. Not because I didn't like Bopper but I appreciated the fact that the issue was detected early enough that Mark got to continue on the Race. Plus, WOOHOO!!!! Natalie & Nadiya are gone. Second to Brendon & Rachel (aka Team Fetch), the twins were at the top of my dislike list.
With that being said, here are my new rankings that are still based significantly by the teams' previous outings (and may look pretty similar to last week's with a couple of exceptions).
