These are my thoughts about your proposals:

For the season pages, I like the infobox. I think the way the fields are stated are good. I like that you also included a field for the opening sequence and the series chronology down below the infobox. Although I want to ask, what is the "Cast" field? For the "Teams" section, it's not bad, although I think we need to emphasize more on the final three by highlighting their finishing positions, similar to The Amazing Race 1 Teams. Also, for "Runners-Up" and "2nd Runners-Up", we should still put "2nd place" and "3rd place", respectively, underneath for the finishing positions. For the leaderboard, I think it's good that there are the average placements and I think that the highlighting is very good. I don't understand the numbers beside the "Notes" section in the table. I also don't think it's necessary to add that "Finish" section. Otherwise, the leaderboard is okay. I think we should still have the "Records" section on the season pages as that shares plenty of information.

For the team pages, I think it's okay. The infobox is not bad. I think the "Post-Race" section should be a sub-section of the "Trivia" section. I also think we should add an "External links" section for the links to their CBS.com profile and their social networking accounts, and again, I think we should still have the "Records" section.

Overall, I think your proposals are a very good if we just fill it up with information. I think these layouts will have a better way of interpreting information to readers. With these said, I approve of your proposals.

 * 1) The cast field is where we would put a picture of the entire cast.
 * 2) Post race must have its own section because the trivia section is meant for statistics ("first/last to _____").
 * 3) I agree to change "Runners-Up" to "nth place".
