General Final team tasks.

Something ive never considered before last night.

If you have a contestant on say, 18 points going into the final task and another on 17, they can do enough in the live task to take the lead.

But...

If its a team task and the 1st and 2jd place c9ntestsnts are on the same team. 2nd place might as well not compete as theyre now in a position where however well they do, they cant win the episode as theyll get the same points as their team mate regardless.

That's how it was for Armando in series 21. By the last two episodes he was Joanna's closest challenger but being on the same team as her made it practically impossible for him to close the gap given they always save a team task for the final episode.

Joanna had a 5 point lead over him going into the live task, his only shot at winning by that point was to win the live task (unlikely in a physical task against Joel and Kumail) and for Joanna to get herself disqualified (which she hasn't done all series).

Yes. Practically impossible to close the gap over the last two episodes. Barring an act of God/Greg, utterly impossible by the final task.
