This week's game is closing an hour earlier, due to reports that TAR will air an hour early in Canada.  So get your answers in a little early just to be safe.

[Jobby]

What an improvement!!

[gingerman28]

Good work MSwood for this week which should cause a lot of major guess work.  But a few nit and pics:

Q1 Someone else might say the title as was done in a previous show (Jeff I think)
      Or No One.

Q7 I believe you mean to write "there" and not "their"

Q10 I believe that with previous times that the Intersection was put upon us that the Fast Forward was presented (and chosen by the lead teams in both TAR 10 and TAR11

Q16 through Q21  I believe that each clue should start with "IF"

Good work MSwood for this week which should cause a lot of major guess work.  But a few nit and pics:

Q7 I believe you mean to write "there" and not "their"

Q10 I believe that with previous times that the Intersection was put upon us that the Fast Forward was presented (and chosen by the lead teams in both TAR 10 and TAR11

Q16 through Q21  I believe that each clue should start with "IF"

first question (since it has happened before).

Question one added as a possible answer:  Someone or something else.

Question 7:  Made the change (I can't believe how many times I typed that wrong.  No change in answers.

Question 10:  Included the Fast Forward as part of the Intersection options.  No change in possible answers.

On the last correction (s):  I should have used If (I mean really should have).  But I don't want to have to change both the possible answers and the question.  Since I include in each the possible answer "They don't work together", I thank that should still cover the all the bases.

10 points - Previously the Intersection paired teams for the Detour task (with the Fast Forward as an option), this time they are paired for?

Roadblock
Detour
Something new

Shouldn't there be the option of "Both", or does that situation fall under that "Something New" category?

[georgiapeach]

10 points - Which team uses the Fast Forward?

Jet & Cord
Joe & Heidi
Brent & Caite
Dan & Jordan
There is no Fast Forward to use
No one uses the Fast Forward that is available

I think you need to EiITHER include ALL of the teams as a choice, or have an option NONE of the above....

Yeah, there's nothing I can think of about those four teams that would make them more likely to take the FF than the other four. Why are they the only four listed?

Well I was lazy.  But I figured (so of course I will be wrong) if their is a fast forward, then like previous episodes with the Intersection it would effect two teams.  Since we have evidence of the teams being, Brent & Caite and Jordan & Jeff as one, Dan & Jordan and Carol & Brandy as another, Jet & Cord and Michael & Louie as yet another pair and finally Joe & Heidi with Steve & Allie I thought it would save time and just include one  team of each pair.

Of course that all depends on (if their is a Fast Forward) two teams having to take it.  If not, Oops.......

[georgiapeach]

So if we want another team, we can put the team they may have formerly (or currently) been aligned with?

[mswood]

Peach

Do I need to check spoilers???

If there is a fast forward and it is only available to one team (and it isn't a team listed) then free points to everybody (since I can't put in a zero for everyone).  If its for a single team and its one of the ones listed (then just that answer will get points.

If its two teams that use the fast forward, then (unless the teams don't work together like spoilers think) then the options should cover the possible choices.

But I can't see them using a Fast Forward (as they always allow teams to skip all tasks (save a general task before the first route marker).  And since they need an even number of teams for the Intersection, that to me indicates that if there is a fast forward it would apply to two teams.

So

[georgiapeach]

No new spoiler....I am just thinking that the FF could be totally separate from the Intersection...IF there is even one. I just wanted to put another team is all.

[Hooky]

No new spoiler....I am just thinking that the FF could be totally separate from the Intersection...IF there is even one. I just wanted to put another team is all.

That wouldn't work though. Then one team would have to work by themselves during the Intersection part.

Well I guess it could work, but it's not very fair to that single team.

From what I saw in the previews, its only bungee jumping anyway.

[Coutzy]

5 Points - Every other time they have had an Intersection there has been a Fast Forward, is there a Fast Forward this time?
Yes
No

If there is a fast forward, but not with the intersection, what would the answer be?

[Hooky]

5 Points - Every other time they have had an Intersection there has been a Fast Forward, is there a Fast Forward this time?
Yes
No

If there is a fast forward, but not with the intersection, what would the answer be?

Still yes. That doesn't matter. "This time" means this leg, right?

(This one will be a logistical nightmare to grade - mark my words.)

No

(This one will be a logistical nightmare to grade - mark my words.)

To me, the question is asking if there is a Fast Forward in the intersection.

[georgiapeach]

I am anwering based on just IS there a FF.

[mswood]

To me, the question is asking if there is a Fast Forward in the intersection.

-Squeeze is correct it means in this episode.  So the answer would be yes, if there is a fast forward at any time during this episode.
