What if...

There wasn't a team switch?

How far would Connor and Darci have gone as a team, and how far would Ike and Taylor have gone?

I feel like Connor and Darci would have gone pretty far as a team. I don't know if they would have made it to final 3 or final 2, but I think if they could pull a mission win they'd be able to do well. They did get along well too, and even though Connor did betray Darci by exposing her strategy, he did regret it later, so he did care for her. 

Taylor and Ike... at times they'd be explosive, given Taylor's tendency to cry (has anyone tried taking a shot every time she cried this season?) and Ike not having the greatest social game. They probably would rub a lot of people the wrong way, putting a huge target on their backs (even bigger than Taylor and Connor's was all season). In missions though, I think they'd be a very strong team. 

What are your thoughts? 

Would Connor and Darci be doomed to an early exit due to their team colour? Or would Taylor and Ike face the early exit because of their combined social game? 

Or would another team end up leaving before any of them?

I think Connor and Darci would've made a perfectly great underdog team! They both were more low-key than the others and had a good strategy going forward. Plus I could see them doing well with teamwork missions. Simultaneously, depending on the strength of PROG, they could be targeted as well.

As for Taylor and Isaac, it's a serious hit-or-miss here. If they could do well in challenges, they could develop themselves as a force to be reckoned with. If not, I could see an early exit for them, because of their poor social game. (It breaks my heart to think about it, as Taylor is one of my favorite contestants, haha.) Then again, could they learn to work better together?

I think Taylor and Ike would’ve gone out the same round that Darci and Ike did. They were both just easy targets.

As for Connor and Darci, this would’ve been an AMAZING underdog team. But, PROG was just so strong. I see them being targeted after Yellow so from like final 5 on it would probably be a Temple run for them :/
