^I know, but it still falls into the pattern because they lost more than they won, and at merge only three original Rats were still standing. Dunno if Dakota counts since Chris reinstated her just for the heck of it and for his own amusements.

The point is though that even with the varying circumstances under which each "weak team" lost, there was still one team that almost always won and the other would always lose. This has been the case for three seasons in a row, making it a painfully predictable trend that killed a lot of the tension in having teams at all.

TDAS is not exactly a great season right now, but it does deserve credit for finally ending this annoying trend. I hope future seasons will not fall back into such a predictable routine because I like it better when you got teams of roughly equal competence.
