I had the Ice Dancers pegged for 3rd Place from the very beginning because of the joke (also visited in TDWT with Owen's Olympic fantasy) about Canadian Olympians just barely missing out. Normally, they should have been runnersup, but the practice of having two coequal endings would have meant they'd win in one ending, which would have spoiled the joke. I didn't necessarily see them as major antagonists at the outset, though. Specifically, I saw Josee as a potential antagonist, but not necessarily Jacques.

Although RR's eliminations as a whole weren't especially predictable, one aspect was all too predictable. Major teams coming in last, only to be saved by the revelation that it was a non-elimination stage, was an overused plot twist.
