2) Linz Family (2)
3) Godlewski Family (4)
4) Paolo Family (8)
5) Weaver Family (5)
6) Schroeder Family (1)
7) Gaghan Family (7)

The Paolo family were in last place for the first part of the leg (i.e. before the trailer park), which is why they're ranked below the Linz and Godlewski families despite finishing before them.

The Schroeder family were ahead of the Gaghan family for the first part of the leg, which was enough for them to be ranked in a higher position.

3) Bransen Family (5)

The Bransen family's second first place finish means that they overtake the Linz family, with the Schroeder family understandably slipping down due to their last place finish. The Paolo family's second place moves them ahead of the Gaghan family.

The Godlewski family have yet to finish (or be ranked) lower than fourth place, and their consistency has been rewarded by being the best performing team overall. The Gaghan and Paolo families are lagging significantly behind the other teams, but there's not a lot separating first from fifth place.
