RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game

The Game is now alive and kicking

Good Luck Everyone!!!
 :killme:



Well T-Minus six days twenty three hours and fifty nine minutes the new season of TAR will be here.  So it's time for me to start off the new season of the Pick-em Game.  Everyone is welcome to play.

Some notes:

1.  The game is weekly, and runs until 7:55 pm eastern time unless otherwise noted.  
2.  A link will be provided at the top of this thread to where you will sign in to place your answers.  Link is provided.
3.  Remember that you need to log into the linked game page.  You can create it with your current sign in info or you can pick a new one.  Remember to always sign in before inputting your answers.  If you don't the game will not record it.  You can even double check by logging in at a later date to see if your answers are still selected.  I really recommend caution as at least once a season a persons answers are not recorded.  
4.  If for some reason the site isn't working you can pm your answers directly to me.  As long as the time is before the cut off I will add them to the results of this thread, even though they won't be visible on the game page.
5.  I am going to hopefully have questions up by Tuesday before each episode, though anyone who has ever played before know that it is more likely to see them up before Thursday.  I really aim to do better.
6.  Answers will be posted on this thread after the episode airs.  And it frankly all depends on how fast I get to see the episode.  When posted I freely encourage everyone to correct any mistakes that I will make.  After a brief review period I will make a final judgment and then officially put the answers in the game.  The results of each week and the overall running totals will be posted here, and can be seen on the game page.
7.  If you have a question about any of the questions you can either ask on this thread (where everyone will see my answer) or you can ask by pm (where only you will see the answer)

And do the nature of the game some spoilers will be used.  Be from previews, magazine articles or even the work of the detectives here.  But I try to make sure that the detectives great work isn't able to give you an answer.  But it will happen as they can be quite resourceful in discovering new information during the week before an episode.

TERMS

A new term is active route marker.  For the purpose of this game this is a task that requires the racers to something more then just travel by foot or car to get their next clue.

It can be drinking a "boot" of beer.  Taking a rafting trip, ect.

Episode, means (unless noted in the question) events that occur during the broadcast hour, they don't include the previously on segment, the opening credits or the previews for the next episode.

Leg means the official point teams are released by Phil to the point where Phil officially checks people in.

The Mat refers to reaching the Mat, where Phil usually is waiting.  It does not refer to the order they are officially checked in.

Pit Stop refers to the point that Phil officially checks teams in.

Ok, I've read all the questions, I pondered on them and at the end I will probably close my eyes and choose an answer.
But I do have one question: Question 6 The first team to hold a paper airplane. Is that any airplane or an airplane with the correct clue and thus be the first team to complete the task?
