Topic: RFF TAR 15 pick-em game

[mswood]

Here is the answers I have.

15 Points - Which racer states how much money they receive for this leg?

No one

15 points - How much money do teams receive for this final leg?

Not mentioned

15 points - Which racers states the Title, “Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound”?

None of the above, Fake Elvis



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

46-60 minutes, 58 minutes  11:10am to 12:08 pm.  And just a point I am really surprised this isn't more.  With the Big deal about how much trouble Dan had at the roadblock I expected him to lose more time (since M&C started the previous leg 27 minutes ahead of Sam & Dan and with no bunching that means they only fell behind 31 minutes, I am surprised).

10 Points - How much time separates Sam & Dan and Brian & Ericka when leaving the Pit Stop?

181-210, 187 minutes 12:08 to 3:15.  And damn that leg took Brian & Ericka  lot of time.  M&C started that last leg with an hour and 54 minute lead over B&E, and built that lead to 4 hours and 5 minutes.  Thats huge, and of course Flight Time & Big easy even worse.

Okay this one is tough. racers get to the entrance of the Chapel in the following order.  Sam, Cheyne, Meghan, Dan, Ericka and Brian.

So this is my thought.  Either I take I'M big Easy and I can't figure out all of the possible combinations (which is true technically) or I accept either S&D, M&C, B&E or M&C, S&D, B&E as answers.  Those are the two options we have let me know your opinions.

No, they talk about the arguing, but nothing like an apology.

PeeT_Pm52
Coutzy
gator27
None of the above (I can hope!!)

I am looking for opinions and disagreement, and I really would like this done tomorrow night.  SO tear it apart folks.

[Hooky]

On who got to the chapel first, I'd say M&C, S&D, B&E, because Meghan & Cheyne would be the first full team to make it into the chapel (with both members present). It's like the way they judge Pit Stops - whichever team has both members on the mat first is the winner of the footrace. Dan was behind the full team of Meghan & Cheyne, so no first for them.

And on the "chip task being the last task before the Finish Line" one, I assumed that you would judge the chips as the last task (which it was), rather than getting the clue from Mr. Vegas. I didn't think that getting a clue counted as a task.

Dang it. I didn't do so great this week. Don't be surprised if I'm not this episode's winner, but it's still too close to tell whether I did well enough to stay on top. I don't know if anyone thought the rappelling would be a Roadblock.

[Coutzy]

To the one person (besides me) who picked me for top score this week:

I'm sorry, I let you down.

[Jobby]

25 points - What is the order they arrive at the Chapel?

M&C, S&D, B&E

Okay this one is tough. racers get to the entrance of the Chapel in the following order.  Sam, Cheyne, Meghan, Dan, Ericka and Brian.

I think either this is free points or there really isn't a specific answer to this...

There should have been a "they all arrive at the same time and i can't figure out" option.

[Jobby]

25 Points - What is the order of the teams when they finish the roadblock?

25 points - 1 people answered this question - B&E, M&C, S&D

I'm proud of my faith with Brian and Ericka, seriously.

Anyway, i'm screwed for this round because i solemnly want to believe Bricka can win. But they did me proud anyway and i'm proud to remain faithful to them no matter what.

[Jobby]

Also... who guessed there is no Detour!!

I'm not going to do really well because of my trust with B/E... but hopefully i will make it to the Top 5 by some random luck.

[mswood]

Well I did include the I'm Big Easy and I can't figure out all the possible combinations.  THat would be the most correct answer (but I will admit no one picked that option, so I don't know if people would wont my other option?)

Waiting for more input on that one.

[gingerman28]

There is one big problem with this episode.  (1) We see the Roadblock clue for the rapelling down the building.  No problem.  So the start order is BE,MC, SD. And the finish order is BE, MC, SD.  But (2) While the chip task looks like a general task, it is clearly labled with a bright red lable: Chip Counting, ROADBLOCK.  So, we can't assume that it is a general task, we have to go with what the producers label the task which is ROADBLOCK.  So we have two roadblocks in this game. So  if this is the second roadblock, then the start orders is SD, BE, MC.  And the finish order is MC, SDS, BE. So since the quizmaster only had a question for one roadblock, but since we have two roadblocks we have two sets of answers.  And for the question about whether the team member can assist the other team member in the roadblock we have two answers: no and yes. 

On the arrival at the chapel, I would go with the alternate which is MC, SD, ME since a team does not reach a position until the full team is present.

Which team is first to open the Roadblock clue?  We have two roadblocks so two answers: BE for Roadblock #1 and SD for Roadblock #2.

[Hooky]

25 points - What is the order they arrive at the Chapel?

M&C, S&D, B&E

I still say that the first full team to enter the chapel should be counted as first. M&C, S&D, B&E. I think that's a pretty straightforward way to look at it, and it conforms to the way the race decides placings in those situations as well.

[chill_sd]

FWIW, I don't think the counting chips clue envelope was a Roadblock envelope.  And both teammates were free to do the task in any way they wanted, so it wasn't run like a Roadblock, either.

And we all know the graphics on the screen can be wrong.  (I just watched a season 10 episode where all the teams were leaving the pitstop starting at 9 pm, when all of a sudden the screen said 7:05PM when it was obviously meant to say 10:05PM.)

[mswood]

G-Man

I will recheck teh chis clue's.  And if the croud thinks M&C, S&D, B&E at Chapel I am cool with it.

[puddin]

The screen describes  the chips as a RB but CBS does not

1512 ROUTE MARKERS

Roadblock: A Roadblock is a task that only one person can perform. In this Roadblock, one team member had to perform a terrifying face-first rappel 600 feet down the side of the building. When they reached the bottom, they would receive their next clue.


Performed Roadblock: SAM, ERICKA, CHEYNE


Detour: N/A




Order of Finish

1.    Meghan & Cheyne
2.    Sam & Dan
3.    Brian & Ericka

[Snooky]

I swear I sent in my picks, but it says I did not!
 

[mswood]

I am sorry Snooky

[Snooky]

I am sorry Snooky

It's okay, I wouldn't have won anyway!

[mswood]

G-Man

I while it is true that we do see a overlay of Roadblock describing the task, and if that is the only reference we had I would be forced to take it.  But we have several shots of the racers clues, and in each of them we see general Route info clues.  The only time (that I can really recall) that I would accept a subtile over actual live footage is during a question where I specifically asks for the Subtitles results.

I also have decided that, the race rules normally say teams must stay together in getting clues (So that leaves the order in getting to the chapel as M&C, S&D, and B&E.

[mswood]

Ok to score the final two questions. 

Not counting the last two questions, who did the best on this leg of the race.

Why that was walkingpneumonia with 260 pts.  Beating the next member by 25 pts (Thanks a hell of a lot!)

Not counting the final two questions who leads the leader board?  That would be Hooky by a whopping 45 points over Peach.

[mswood]

Meghan getting the clue first......

[mswood]

Puddin while she is handed the clue, she is not the one who gets it.  Nor does the evidence appear to support them being the first team to open it.  (and I if I took it thats ten more for me).

[Snooky]

Sam stole the clue from her!
 

[Dånooky]

Sam stole the clue from her!
 

If you look closely, both are holding it. And Sam indeed was the first to arrive.

Thanks to everyone who played (even if you didn't agree with me), and here is hoping to have another great season starting in February (or March).

mswood, and I am out of here.

[mswood]

Sam stole the clue from her!
 

Its funny both times Meghan & Cheyne get a clue someone else also has their hands on it.

While It does look like the Fake Elvis is deliberately giving it to Meghan, it is also true (on freeze frame you can see) that Sam has his hands on the end of it as well.

And the next clue I think Ericka gets her hand on it as well, but she doesn't get control over the clue.

[puddin]

Thank you for all you do and being so incredibly awesome mswood

and WHHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAY TO GO!! 



back to sneaky Sam for a minute
