Topic: RFF TAR 16 pick-em game

[Dånooky]

10 Points - Do teams start and end the roadblock in the same order? No

I'd have to disagree on this one because no team passes another one while performing the RB

[David]

Again, I SUCKED this week! Placings have really been the worst adaptation of this leg's game.

[kwando1313]

10 Points - Which team is first shown in Malaysia (anywhere in Malaysia)? Split-second rush! I see Brent first, but if you want both people, then it's Jet/Cord. (?)

Doesn't this mean that more than one team is shown?

[Jobby]

I suck like a lollipop yet again.

[gingerman28]

My observations:

The first spotting of teams in Malaysia is at the airport.  Team members are seen running by in this order:  Brent, Cord, Caite, Jet, Jordan, et al.  When the frame is frozen the first three team members are seen in one frame: Brent, Cord, Caite.  Therefore, the first team shown in Malaysia is Brent and Caite.

Teams start and end the Roadblock in the same order they started the roadblock: (1) Cowboys, (2) Carol and Brandy, (3) Louie and Michael, (4) Brent and Caite, (5) Dan and Jordan, (6) Steve and Allie. The teams also check in with Phil at the mat in this same order.  Incidentally, and I think that this is the first for TAR the teams check in this time in the exact reverse order in which the did in the previous ep.

The third team to start and finish the roadblock is Louie and Michael.

The team which gains the most spots PERFORMING the detour is Jet and Cord.  They were the third team to start the detour (flags) and the first team to finish.  So they gained three spots which was the most gained by any team.

The team which loses the most positions PERFORMING the detour is Carol and Brady.  They were the first team to start the detour (steps) and were the third team to complete the detour.  Therefore, they lost three spots.  The other four teams doing the steps completed the detour in the same position they started.

Brent and Caite were the second team to start the detour and the second team to END the detour.

GO G-MAN!!!

At least someone appreciates age over beauty

10 Points - Do teams start and end the roadblock in the same order? No

I agree with Dan. It's based on the order they arrived and finished the RB.

Did anyone also notice that it said Brent & Caite were in 5th when they got to the RB? They were actually in 4th.

And I'm not sure how this happened, but this week I only answered the first 4 questions. I only got 30 points, so I'm probably dead now.

And Peach quitting! Don't quit!

It's funny because now both me and Peach are unexpectedly out of the running at the exact same time (or at least Peach is).

But if you saw three people, doesn't that mean that more than one team is shown?

[David]

Peach is going to retire from the game, and rest on her laurels.

I love this game, and hate to stop, but am suddenly too spoiled to play fairly, I think. I  last felt it necessary to pull out of the hotly contested sucks game at final 3 in Season 14 too, darn it all.

So y'all have fun, give mswood heck, and I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!

I don't want you out, but knowing how kind you are, we'll let you go (you'll be stubborn if we insist you so as to stay??)

PS: And, am I the only one who hasn't spoiled this season?? I'm quite sure the Top 5 has spoiled, but I'd like to know against how many people I'm fighting in same conditions...

The only thing I knew about this season was the finishing position of Jody and Shannon. Hardly spoiled.

[mswood]

If no one disagrees this will be officially judged tomorrow morning or afternoon, this week's questions will be up sometime tomorrow.

[gingerman28]

I think that you were perfectly clear in your question Which team is first showing (seen in) Malaysia.  In a past episode when you asked a similar question about which team was seen first, you ruled that that meant a complete team together.  In this case, at the airport in Malaysia we first see Brent running, then Cord running and then Caite come into the frame to join Brent and Cord.  So the answer to the question is that Brent and Caite are the first team shown together in Malaysia.  Jet and Cord are not shown until a few frames later, and is actually at an earlier spot: just some lousy post-production editing.  In fact, when you see Jet and Cord together you also in the same scene see Dan and Jordan and Steve and Allie.  So I think that you can only award the one answer: Brent and Caite are the first TEAM shown together in Malaysia.

[kwando1313]

But in this case, mswood didn't specify for that so, meaning it should be either way.

[gingerman28]

A "team" has always meant both members.  Both members of a "team" must arrive at the mat at the same time, for example. 

[kwando1313]

Well, she already submitted the answers on the game, so....

[kwando1313]

Imma in 9th now!!!

Well I did mean when a full team appeared what the status was.  At that time more then one team was on screen, technically a team and a half.  Now in other episodes we have seen a full team by themselves, and in the third episode this season I did ask a similar question but if you notice I never included an option for does more then the two racers appear.

SInce I do honestly think my intent was unclear its the reason I am taking both answers.

Now at least I know I won't ever finish any lower than that.

[mswood]

Since Hooky beat me to it, I will post the bonus points next week, so no claiming extra points on me not putting them in.........

Yeah and Hooky I really wouldn't have wanted to see my score this week, if I was you.  Ouch!!!
