That's nothing new and goes back to the first season of the original over 20 years ago. The show has never been about pitting the most athletic and talented teams against each other. It's always been about finding a mix of teams who each check off certain characteristics.
I don't think this year's lineup is any worse than previous ones. Remember the season with the ballet dancer who was ready to take a penalty after about 5 minutes on every task? He was the worst.
The first few episodes are always about culling the weak teams. What makes it interesting is it's not always easy to predict who the weak teams will be. We all expected Gracie & Lily to be the weakest this year, now three episodes in, they're looking like one of the favourites to be in the final three.
