Using other seasons logic, the killer grips should have won in episode 13

So we all know what happened in the 13th episode: both teams were on their way to the finish line. but because the car of the killer grips broke up, the scream gaffers won

legit

but according to other seasons, there should not be any victory announcement until:

  1. Leshawna arrive to the finish line

  2. the other team managed ot stand up and cross the finish line with the broken car

why?

because in every other season, when there is a pre-merge race challenge, the rules are that the entire team need to cross the finish line and an absent of even one teammate can prevent the victory:

TDI

  • in episode 6 the KB crossed the finish line first. but since Katie and Sadie arrived after the entire SG arrived, the KB lost

  • In episode 24, Owen arrived to the camp first, but since Heather and Gwen crossed the finishline (and reached to the totem) before Duncan, the girls won (and even if Owen arrived to the totem, the girls still would won because they were ahead of Duncan. they they had Chef's belonging)

TDWT

  • in episode 4, TV crossed the finish line second. but since Bridgette was stuck to a pole, they lost the challenge because the entire TA made it before Bridgette

TDROTI

  • in episode 4, Brick made it tot he finish first. but since there were two members of TR, they won despite Brick from MM made it first

TDAS

  • In episode 5, despite most of VV made it to the finish line, Chris did not announced them as the winners because of Gwen who was not in the area, and Courtney who stopped before to finish line. VV won after both girls crossed the finish lines seconds before the entire HH made it

TDTR

  • in episode 5 The hockey bros crossed the finish line first. but Chris did not annucned TFOD as the winners because the entire team need to cross the finish lin. by the end of the challenge TFOD indeed won because all the campers crossed the finish line before Damien, Priya, Millie and Ripper

so according to every season rules, Chris should not have won the SG as the winners because Leshawna was not with them. she was locked in the safe even after the challenge was over. therefore, the KG still could win only if they stood up, grab the car pieces and moved to the finish line. and if they needed the entire car, they could return to bring the other pieces and they got enough time because Leshawna was locked in the safe

so, this challenge is indeed kinda biased for the SG and if Owen's elimination was unfair, it's because Chris ingroned the default rules that were established in every other season
