This show (the eighth installment) was probably one of the worst, but it's been the first show that the team I picked has won. My family and I do this draft thing before each show starts, with the draft order being determined by your team's performance in the last installment. For example, Ryan and Chuck of Amazing Race 7 were eliminated first, so I got to use the first overall pick on the Linz family this time around. For all you reality TV shows who have been following the show since the first one, here are my draft choices throughout them all:Amazing Race 8: Linz Family - Finished 1st
Amazing Race 7: Ryan and Chuck - Finished 11th
Amazing Race 6: Lori and Bolo - Finished 5th
Amazing Race 5: Dennis and Erika - Finished 11th
Amazing Race 4: Millie and Chuck - Finished 5th
Amazing Race 3: Terri and Ian - Finished 2nd
Amazing Race 2: Tara and Wil - Finished 2nd
Amazing Race 1: Frank and Margarita - Finished 2nd
So you see my strategy of drafting teams with a high probability of constant fighting worked fairly well for the first three shows, though none of them actually won. I had some shitty bust draft picks in the 5th and 7th shows, since picking at 7th overall meant there were usually a couple of young teams left, and I left a couple of old teams on the table knowing full well that they would not be eliminated first, since the show wants to keep the elderly demographic interested...there are a lot of old ladies who watch this show.
