It's actually just that I see the Police Cadets as the winners. They went through up and down placings, which made them seem like consistently middle of the road in race quality. They also went through plenty of development and were the adversaries against the other just as endearing team in the Ice Dancers. They had a nice contrast, they learned how to do leadership properly, MacArthur learned she wasn't perfect after all, and Sanders managed to put her mind to good use in being just as useful. I had seen them as winners for at least the last 7 or 8 episodes. Plenty expected it to be the Sisters but I just never gravitated towards them being memorable winners. The Police Cadets had natural flaws whereas the Surfers are just two best friends who I guess had their boundaries with each other tested a couple of episodes before they were first eliminated. It wasn't enough though. After they developed in overcoming their paranoia that one was dragging the other down, they didn't go through anything when they came back, winning both times in a row that lead to the Final 2.

Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of reasons why the Ice Dancers were the first main antagonists I actually rooted for to win. But the Police Cadets truly did go through so much struggle, mostly with each other and their dynamic with each other. This is why I get mad when people say the Surfers won. Not because I'm mad at the opinion that the Surfers won, but mad at the opinion that only they won, despite there being two endings.

This isn't even mentioning the many reasons that indicate the Police Cadets ending is the legitimate one but I'd be cutting in too deep then.
