Hell I should have kept my mouth shut, I mean seriously a week with Peach getting no points.

Damn that sounds like a really good week.

She would just blame Canada. Its always Canada's fault...

[serendipity]

oh no, i miss that too!!! I just put in my choices and then it does not save my answers!!!

[georgiapeach]

Blame Canada.... you could try PM'ing mswood your answers, but that may not be acceptable.

[kwando1313]

Canadians are not evil! Just because our hockey team is better than yours  and because that we won more gold medals  doesn't make us evil incarnate! 

[georgiapeach]

only evil when you get to watch TAR first.

[mswood]

No that is true, it's pretty much just Michael.

[Jobby]

I'm going to confess that i missed my picks again.

[kwando1313]

Who is Michael anyways?

[georgiapeach]

He's the King of St Olaf. 

[mswood]

Don't let me fool you, we love Michael.  I just express it in my own special way.

[mswood]

I really don't want to rewatch this episode.  And thats saying something.

[georgiapeach]

How dare they have no FF, it screwed me this week!! Too much faith in y'all "we always have a FF with the Intersection" crew!!

[Hooky]

I just have one thing to say: Jeff & Jordan saved - ugh! And it makes the placement of non-elimination legs look all the more suspicious.

And just one comment, while I disliked this leg (it couldn't have been so much stronger), I have to say that several teams that I didn't care for before this, I really, really liked.  Nice to see Carol & Brandy having fun, Dan being really cool, Michael & Louie having a blast, Steve & Allie actually getting screen time and doing great, and Joe & Heidi as well.  We had already seen quite a bit with Jordan & Jeff, Cowboys (and yeah I do love these guys), and Brent & Caite.  So it was nice to see the other teams and in a really positive way.  

I certainly can't blame my dislike for this leg on the cast.

I am Michael 

He lives.

rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated

And I thought I was being subtle.

I just have one thing to say: Jeff & Jordan saved - ugh! And it makes the placement of non-elimination legs look all the more suspicious.

I thought the NEL's are planned before the season starts? How would production know Jeff and Jordan would pick the sauerkraut task before doing the soccer one? You are not the first person to think it was unfair so I was wondering if I am missing something?

"10 points - Which task is connected to the Beatles?
0 points - 3 people answered this question - None of the above (damn Pit Stop)"

I disagree.... remember, they had to visit the monument for the Beatles, which clearly had "Route Info" on it... So I would say that that was a general task and that the Beatles Club was the pit stop, thus, it was a general task.

I'd say both, since the Beatle's were involved in both a route info and the pit stop.

Oh, it's nothing. I'm just annoyed about almost every aspect of this leg, that's all (no departure times, Intersection, rushed editing, Louie & Michael in first, etc.) And sick of the producer's favorite teams hogging all the non-elim legs (first Maria & Tiffany, and now Jeff & Jordan, both of whom don't/didn't really deserve to stay). It's likely arbitrary, but it's shocking how often all of these coincidences seem to happen anyway.

[Jobby]

Nothing to do with this game, but i'll very much preferred the NEL to be used LAST LEG and not this leg.

Or even the leg before.
