Raymond I didn't realize how similar their win pattern has been.  But I tend to only pay casual attention to that and instead focus on how they actually performed their legs.

This episode and the first gave them a very strong advantage.

I mean seriously the first leg (baring idiocy) came down to pure luck.  With one full end of leg equalizer, getting picked first was a huge bonus. 

And this last leg.  I will be very curious to see when they leave the Pit Stop to calculate how each team did.  I don't think that Meghan & Cheyne did that well.

I haven't done a time breakdown for the first leg (after the start of the roadblock, be very curious how that turns out).

And I don't think Meghan freaks out.  As so far most female racers that made it at least to Japan has shown more worry or concern then Meghan has.

But it is interesting.  I do tend to lump up the young caucasian couples that typically get along, though.  From Brandon & Nicole, Blake Paige, Millie & Chuck,ect, ect.

I should just give up hope that Meghan/Cheyne fall behind sometime and just vote for them in all the questions. Then of course they do spectacularly mediocre/bad just to mess up my predictions, like what happened during the Cambodia leg. :funny:

I'm in the top 3!!! :casey :jumpy:  :wohoo:

For the time, I've been able to secure a 'respectable' position! :lol: You're right mswood, it indeed feels awesome ;D

Although I know I've no chance to get anywhere near the top of the overall leaderboard, I still hope I keep on doing well legs to come :jam:

I thought that the eliminated team was Mika and Canaan but the "official results" list the eliminated team as MEGHAN AND CHEYNE.   SoI believe that 16 players need to gain 5 whole points and one player loses five.

Or am I just blind and or crazy and can't read what is in front of me?

Dutch's village is ZoutKamp.

Groningen is both a town and the province/district that includes Zoutkamp.

Ok, so it's not Dutch's village, but the question will stand if we here the name (no matter what it references).

On to the tricky question.  We know the order they arrived at the Pit Stop.  What we don't know (and wont know until we get departure times) is how fast each specific team completed that leg.

When we get the departure time, we can use that to figure out who actually took the least amount of time (once they were released from the Pit Stop) to complete all the tasks from leg 6.

So while Meghan & Cheyan were the first to complete the leg, we don't know if they were the fastest to complete the leg.  I want to know based on how long it took each team to complete the leg, how Meghan & Cheyne would have ranked.

Gothcha on Meghan/Cheyne, thanks.

Dutch is hugely proud of his town...one of his concerns was that it would be misidentified.

I deleted that question.  I wanted to include Dutch in a question, but as I am sure that ZoutKamp will be used (at least at some point) I am taking the question out.

Well I got me "cough" copy of the show in record time 41 minutes after the show aired (thank you).  And as soon as I review this wonderful episode I will score it and gather my nerve to see my utterly terrible performance.  Please review answers because for me to do anything I am going to have to cheat like hell.  G-Man please read a book.

Not mentioned

15 points - Which team states how much money they receive?

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

No

5 points -Do the opening credits change this week?

No


15 Points - Based on how long it took to complete leg 6, how would Meghan & Cheyne have placed?

4th Using departing times from both legs.  This is the time difference.
Maria & Tiffany 3 hours and 22 min
Sam & Dan 3 Hours and 36 minutes
Gary & Matt 4 hours a 49 minutes
Meghan & Cheyne 4 hours 56 minuets
Brian & Ericka 5 hours and 26 minutes (they have had 2 really bad legs in a row)
Flight Time & Big Easy 5 hours and 49 minutes

Shows how much the Fast FOrward really helped them this leg. 



15 points - Which person states the title This is not my finest hour”

Ericka


15 Points - Do al teams depart Dubai on the same flight?

Yes

10 points -Which comes first?

5 points - Does Sam & Dan come out of the TAR closet?

Yes, and I love Brian & Ericka running around the table.

10 points - Who does Sam & Dean come out to?

Everybody, so far on average 10.6 million people.

5 points - Does Maria or Tiffany were a dress for the Detour?

Tiffany

10 points - Do teams get lost while driving?

No, Gary & MAtt say they are lost and need directions but this is before they are actually driving, so it doesn't apply.  As no racer actually knows where they are going before they get directions and or a map.



10 Points - Which team is second to get to the Bell Tower?

Sam & Dan


10 points - Do all racers have to wear clogs at some point during this leg?

Yes


10 points -Which team is first to get the detour clue?

Sam & Dan

10 points - Which team is 2nd to finish the bike ride?

Meghan & Cheyne, as they are two parts with a bike ride I would accept either answer but unfortunately its the same team twice

10 points - Which team is 1st to finish the dancing?

Flight Time & BIg Easy

10 points - Which team is first to complete Farmer’s golf?

10 points - Which team has the largest decline in Pit Stop placement?

Maria & Tiffany

10 points - Which team has the largest gain in Pit Stop Placement?

Flight Time & BIg Easy 6th to third

Ok the game is unofficially scored, the reason I say unofficially is that there are two questions that I think people might strongly disagree with me and as such I wont be posting the results yet.  All I can say is Joab you sucked (thats right kick em when he's sick, thats nice)...and Hooky kicked ass.  And Peach didn't do that great  Yeah !!!!, but still did better then me NOOOO!!!!.

So any questions I my choices for answers, step up and will argue about them.  Results will be posted tomorrow Night.
