I would actually say that this does a worse job at non-eliminations than either of those seasons you've mentioned because they're very close to surpassing them in terms of how many we've gotten as well as having at least one instance so far of back-to-back non-eliminations in a row. Doesn't help that many of these were simply to spare teams that honestly would've been better off being booted in that episode (Rockers, Haters, and Vegans in retrospect).

While I wouldn't want a 13 episode season again, the spinoff has shown that having it be the traditional 26 doesn't really seem like a good idea anymore either when it's full of so much filler that in some cases like New Beijinging and Maori or Less doesn't end up amounting to anything in the long run to justify the existence of said episodes.

To me, future seasons should either be 18 or 19 episodes so that way there isn't so much padding and plots can be developed in a way that isn't either rushed (like in a 13 episode season) or tediously dragged out (like here with examples such as Best Friends & the Haters).
