I think Brian said the title as he and Ericka were walking in the bog to get their clue after the shooting task.

I am just getting ready to rewatch the episode to go over it with a fine tooth comb.  SO hopefully I will voice my opinions shortly.

I so did awful, awful this week, as I shifted my thoughts on what I thought would happen about half way through the questions.  And neither to good effect.

I think I did okay, so I probably will have to eat my words when the actual scores come out.

Well here are what I consider the correct answers, but there are three that I really want to hear comments about.  SO let me have it.

10 Points - What type of transportation do the racers take leaving the Pit Stop?

Automobile (that they drive)


15 Points - Which racer states the title, “We’re not meant for the swamp.”?


Brian


10 points - How much time separates Sam & Dan and Gary & Matt in leaving the Pit Stop?

More then an hour, 1 hour and 25 minutes 5:04 to 6:29


5 Points - Which racer is shown opening this leg’s first clue?

Flight Time


10 Points - Does the Trotters make any comments before the detour that the brothers don’t like them?

No, a lot of talk about competition ,but not about feelings.




15 points - After leaving the Pit Stop, which is the first team to get the next route marker?

Two THoughts

IF we consider all clues Route MArkers then its Sam & Dan with being the first team to get a roadblock clue.

But I prefer the clues that say route info, and that would be Meghan & Cheyne getting the Pit Stop CLue.


10 Points - Which team is first to get on the Ferry (Ferry not Fairy, get out of the gutter)?

Not Shown, we get them getting very near the ferry (on whatever that causeway is called and that team in the lead is Gary & Matt (Flight Time is ahead, but Big Easy is near the rear), but I state on the Ferry so not shown is the correct answer.


10 points -10 points -What team is first one shown after the Ferry (that can mean the first team stepping off the ferry, or the first footage of teams after the ferry which ever is shown first) ?

Sam & Dan, literally first out of the ferry (thanks to freeze frame), and first shown on cause way.



5 Points - Which racer does the roadblock?”

Flight Time

5 points - Which racer does the roadblock?

Ericka

5 points - Which racer does the roadblock?

Cheyne

5 points - Which racer does the roadblock?

Sam


10 Points - Which team is finished with the roadblock first?

Sam & Dan

10 Points - Which comes first?

Speed Bump

10 points - What place are Gary & Matt when they get to the Speed Bump clue box?

4th


10 points - Which racer suggest sharing a cab first??

Flight Time, I think or Big Easy (HELP) you can hear it but you don't see the person speaking.

5 points - What position is Meghan & Cheyne at when they complete the roadblock?

1st


10 points - Which team is the first to get to the Detour Clue?

Brian & Ericka




10 Points - Which team loses the most placings completing the Detour?

Sam & Dan (Used From start of Detour and using the same Criteria of last week of when they get to a point where they need to don equipment or change for a task), fairest I could be.  Sam & Dan drop one position due to the sudden loss of blood from their brains to their downstair brains.

10 points - After completing the Speed Bump are Gary & Matt ever higher then last place?

No

10 points -Do all teams do he Swamp Volleyball?

No

10 points - Which team is the first to yell or complain about getting dirty in the swamp (and the title doesn't count)?


No one complains, they complain about how hard it is to play in the mud and the smell, but no one complains or yells about getting dirty.

10 points - At Swamp volleyball do teams have to pick a number?

No, just first come first served (damn it)

10 points - Which team is first to start playing volleyball?

Meghan & Cheyne

15 points - Which racer is the first shown making a point?

Cheyne, It setved to Meghan who lays it up and Cheyne knocks it in for the point.


15 points - Which team is the first to complete the Swamp Volleyball?


Meghan & Cheyne


15 Points - Which team is the first to check in at the Pit Stop?


Meghan & Cheyne

I should have around 140 - 150 points this week...

NOT BAD, considering 55 points came from trusting Meghan and Cheyne in the last 4 questions. :funny:

EDIT: NVM. :groan:

And Peach, I doubt I will do better than you; I also thought Gary & Matt would do better (what was I thinking?  :groan:).

But with the exception of the Gary & Matt questions (and a few other random ones) I think I did pretty well this week. Hopefully. We'll see.

Yup, pretty shocking moment. That was one of the few "currently in first place" titles Bricka hold this season. The other being the wasabi bomb challenge. :funny:

I kind of wish I could be in the "rest" category. But I refuse to give anything but my best effort! :funny:

And ugh. I was really hoping to close the gap by more than just ten points. But at least I'm going in the right direction! :yess:

I guess I'll have to keep a real close eye on you then. (But hey, if you cheated, would peach still be on top? Methinks not.)
