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.

I agree with all your answers. And I'm not just saying that because I did well.

The strange thing is that I am sick, too! :ascared

I changed half of my answers and lost about 50-100 points there. I originally had Sam and Dan, Meghan and Cheyne, FT/BE, Gary and Matt, Maria and Tiff and B/E as my pitstop order... and i changed almost everything... :res:

Just to challenge the use of the king's English.  On the question of to whom Sam and Dan come out to - the answer a combination of racers could mean just one or two, or everyone.  Everyone is made up of a combination of racers including: Meghan and Cheyne, Maria and Tiffany, Brian and Erika, Gary and Matt and Flight Time and Big Easy.  So it seems that both answers would be correct.

I agree that the last team to check inat the pit stop is, indeed, Brian  and Ericka

As to which team is 2nd to finish the bike ride, it has to be Mehan and Cheyne.  The end of the bike ride is at the pit stop so whoever checks in 2nd is also the 2nd to finish the bike ride.

G-Man

That was one of the one's I thought someone might call me on, because it is technically a combination of racers.

I just don't want to count it.

So any other opinions on that question?

Question:  Which comes first?
But you haven't given us any choices for the answer.

What is a random gnome?  Just one of many?  Do they just pick which ever one they want?

What is it: clues or hay bales?  You say: "Do we hear or see how many clues or in hay bales?  So we could have a correct answer by saying how many clues there are or how many hay bales there are?

I think he meant "Do we hear or see how many clues ARE in hay bales?" That makes more sense.

And the random gnome question is just asking whether one of the gnomes has gives a special prize for the team that chooses it.

I don't know why that first question has no options. ???

G-Man

Which is first?

Sam wanting to kill his brother
or
Meghan saying she can't do this

(This was originally Which is first Roadblock or Detour, but thought it was to easy).

Next Clarification
About the Random Gnome.  In season 7, Ron & Kelly won award because their Gnome was the Random Gnome that had the prize attached to it.  In other seasons it has just been the first Gnome that makes it to the Matt.

Next Clarification (is due to my wonderful substandard English Education).

Do we hear or see how many clues or in hay bales.  It should say "Do we hear or see how many clues are in the Hay Bales".

God I hate my lack of skill in grammar (not to mention spelling).
