Sorry everyone.

Apparently I had it set for am not pm.  I hope everyone is able to play.

If it ever happens that the game is down and you can't wait for it to be fixed.  Just PM me your answers (either with your sign in info for the game and I will add it before the game starts or without and when I post results on the board I will adjust your results to match).

OK here is what I have so far.  The answers I am unsure on are bolded.  Please feel free to give input.

Week 2 in the End of the Reign of Peach!  Begins Now!

5 Points - On this leg are we told how much money teams are provided?

No

5 Points - Is there an Hours of Operation in this leg?

No

10 Points - On this leg how do teams travel from Cái Bè to Ho Chi Minh City?

Plane
Train
Bus
Boat/Ship
Drive Themselves
A COmbination

Ok need help here.  The Pit Stop moves so they do travel from Cai Be on Boat, but they also travel on cab.  So Boat/Ship will be correct.  But I think Combination is correct.  Since they do take a combination of transport to arrive their and I didn't specify a combination of the options listed.  What does everyone think.



5 Points - Do teams get equalized (meaning do all teams catch up to an even point at some point during this leg)?


No


15 points - Which team states the title “It’s like being dropped on Planet Mars”?

The Ass.  Oh Lance & Keri

Yes
No, I don't know

5 Points - Do Flight Time & Big Easy mention that they are in the “Globetrotters”.

Yes
No, I don't know

15 Points - How much time separates Marcy & Ron and Brian & Ericka in leaving the Pit Stop?

11-15 minutes 14 minutes  6:15am - 6:29am


15 points -Which comes first?

Detour

10 Points - Which team gets to the Roadblock first?

Flight Time & Big Easy

10 points - Which team finishes the Roadblock first?

Flight Time & Big Easy

15 points - Which team gets to the Detour first?

Flight Time & Big Easy


15 points - Which team completes the Detour 1st?

Flight Time & Big Easy

5 Points - Does any team switch detours once they have started the detour?

No

15 points - Do Sam & Dan work with Maria & Tiffany at any tasks?


Yes


10 points - What does the team that comes in first win on this leg?

A Trip


15 Points - Which team is 1st to get to the Mat?

Flight Time & Big Easy

15 points - Which team is last at the Pit Stop?

Marcy & Ron


15 points - At the end of the 3rd episode what is the lowest rank any of the 4 all male teams place?

8 Zev & Justin



15 points - Which team has the greatest improvement in Pit Stop Placement (And I am counting Sam & Dan as in 2nd place for the 2nd leg, and Flight Time and Big Easy as 3rd, as thats how they were labeled).

Brian & Ericka, and boy do they manage to get lucky getting from point to point.

15 Points - Which team loses the most positions in this leg?

Sam & Dan 3 spots lost

5 Free Points - After the first 2 episodes.  Which team is your favorite?

Gary & Matt
Sam & Dan
Flight Time & Big Easy
Lance & Keri
Zev & Justin
Meghan & Cheyne
Maria & Tiffany
Mike & Canaan
Marcy & Ron
Brian & Ericka


5 Free Points - After 2 episodes, which team do you dislike the most?

Gary & Matt
Sam & Dan
Flight Time & Big Easy
Lance & Keri
Zev & Justin
Meghan & Cheyne
Maria & Tiffany
Mike & Canaan

I kinda read this as a combination of only the things listed.
 I knew they must be on that boat for a reason :jumpy:, knew that based on the location there would most likely be no train, or drive themselves, and no planes.

We had a cap of the Trotters in a van, presumably a taxi van.

So if that list had included TAXIS, I would say yes 100%.  But there was no combination of the items you listed.

Bus was a strong possibility though...I almost put that.

And WHY was I so sure about RB first?? :duno: but I sure was SURE! :funny:    NOT!

I did actually mean a combination of above, but I do like to go off of what I actually put and not just my intent.  So lets see if anyone else chimes in.

I read it as a combination of the above.

Also, I am fairly sure that neither The Poker Girls or The Globetrotters referred to themselves in such a manner.

Sorry but I think I did fairly well.  So of course Peach probably got everything right.

Well I know you did better than me! :P

I should have known that in this season of course the same team would be in first the entire leg. It has happened a lot more since TAR got downsized in TAR 12. :groan:

And mswood, I don't remember the Globetrotters or Poker playing mentioned at all. Which to me was a HUGE surprise. :ascared

I would say the combination answer is correct. It truly was a combination of methods, so taking it at face value, that should be the only one counted as the right answer (even if only one person got it).

This had better be the worst episode of the season, because half the time I didn't even know what was going on (exaggeration, true, but not for new watchers of the show). They need to slow this thing down so it's actually coherent. I did not get to know the teams any better from this episode.

The question about who lost the most positions is also wrong. The right answer is Lance & Keri, who fell from 4th to 9th. :tup:

I rewatched the episode, and while others call them the globetrotters, they never called themselves that, nor did the ladies mention their poker profession.

And since we have someone saying yes to combination (and since I do normally go by the letter of the question not my intent), I will give points to both answers.
