RED TEAM: FRANKE AND ERIKA Franke and Erika may not have been the "strongest" but they had the best teamwork, friendship, and heart going into everything. And even though they only won 2 missions they came in second in nearly all the other games, and had to endure 2 trips to the temple, 2 samadhi's, and after all that in the end they won.
GREEN TEAM: ISAAC AND JESZIE Isaac and Jeszie won several missions, had spunky personalities, and played the game very well on their part. But because of one endurance mission they were eliminated at temple. Near the end they ahd their differences, but played the game well anyway. They just didn't have what it takes to endure until the end.
YELLOW TEAM: CHRIS AND CALLIE Christopher and Callie were a very interesting team. Callie was a serious competitor, and Christopher, being only 12 years old played the best game he possibly could. Even after this they never won a mission (unless you count the partner mission) and they were also eliminated veryn early.
PURPLE TEAM: JOHN AND DANIELA John and Daniela weren't exactly the kings of endurance, but they did win some missions, and proved it wasn't how strong you are, it's how badly you want it. This team proved that they did want it very badly, and that's why they made it as far as they did.
GRAY TEAM: JON-JON AND JULIE Jon and Julie were definately a strong team, but they didn't really get to show all their stuff because they were eliminated so early on in the game. They were both strong players, but because they made friends with a certain team the two of them were targeted.
BLUE TEAM: SHEA AND AMELIA Shea and Amelia were a good team, but only won one mission. They just got very unlucky, and were always the team without an alliance after Gray team left the game. They did as good as they could have, and made it to the final four, but because they didn't have an alliance were sent to the temple of fate for one last time.
ORANGE TEAM: MICHAEL AND KYLIE Little Mikey and Kylie became a team completely by accident when there were only 4 players left in the partner game. They were the two "outsiders" in the partner game who didn't really have any preferences on partners so Christopher made them a team. They won one mission and played the best game they could have, but their best wasn't good enough as they became the third team eliminated from the game.
