I'm sorry but the criticism against the writer is completely uncalled for. Do you seriously believe that the writers have the freedom to choose who they want to eliminate in their episode? It doesn't work that way.

Also I think the elimination was pretty realistic. In reality sometimes powerfull contestants get eliminated early. The geniuses have the tendency to overthink everything so when a challenge came around where they had to build a simple little sandcastle they overthought it and their strength became their biggest weakness. They weren't even the only ones that made this mistake, father & son and sisters made the same mistake by making their sandcastle unnecessarily complex. Haven't you ever been in a situation where the solution was simple but you missed it because you where looking for something more complicated? I have, so I found their elimination clever and somewhat relatable.

I want to add that having a couple of weaker teams stay longer in the competition is more exiting because it makes it harder to predict who'll be eliminated next. Which is a big part of the fun of these type of shows. And let's be honest the elimination isn't exactly a tragedy. I'm sorry for the loss if you liked them but they where an incredibly dull, unimaginative pair in a show that brands itself as an action-filled, outrageous buddy comedy.
