In my opinion it's more about the small victories over the larger ones. Sure Lincoln and Lynn Sr. lost in "Legends" but they had fun competing together and even though they wound up having to walk through the airport in their underwear, they still got a standing ovation from the crowd who watched them compete in Legends of the Hidden Temple, which was cut sort by airport security and the implication they were going to give them a cavity search. And while they lost the competition in "Read Aloud", the family was happy that Lola was able to read after admitting she had difficulty with it and was able to use her new found knowledge to make them all pizzas. It's these small victories that help the characters develop in long run as opposed to constant major victories.
