10 Points - DO we see teams use a train or a bus?

Yes
No

Think this needs a "Both" answer. For instance, (and I'm not saying this will happen) what if one team takes a bus and another a train?
And what if one team uses a birdlike kite contraption? 

[gingerman28]

Are we sure that there is a Fast Forward?  Speculation, yes, but fact? So perhaps a "there is no Fast Forward" should be included

Are you using "arrive" and "check in" at the pit stop to mean the same thing?

What about when a team "arrives" at the pit stop, but it is a TBC, the team has still arrived but has not checked in. (Teams continue on a TBC)

If teams do not check in at the pit stop, but just receive notice to continue on racing (Moscow i.e.) there would be no gift or prize given, yes?

What if the postion a team is in when they either use the uturn or receive the uturn is not given or is not clear?  And when a team is uturned is the position that team in that when the other team uses the uturn or that when they actually see that they have been uturned?  Again what if the actual position is not given or subtitled?  So "can't be determined" should be an option.,

Have a hospital appointment, so will add some more clarifications later.

HI G-Man

Arrive at the Pit Stop mean s get to the area where the Mat and and or Phil is on a leg with a Pit Stop.  If its a TBC there is technically no Pit Stop (though we do often get Phil and/or a mat though not always).

Check in , means they are cleared by Phil as Team number 1, or 2, ect.....

You are absolutely right I do need to add an option for their is no Fast FOrward.  I will get that up tonight on the game.

As for prizes on the game itself I had included a nothing option.  I will clarify that to mean  nothing /or there is no Pit Stop.

Nay I will leave it as is.  We just need to see teams use one or the other.  With how busy this leg looks I would be surprised if we get much about travel.

Do we have to see teams actually on a train?  If we just see a train rumbling along the countryside and we here Phil say: "All teams are now on the super duper Maylay express on their way to Singapore" And then we see the teams running out of the main door of the station; does this count as seeing teams taking a train?

This game needs a loophole-finding proofreader/lawyer

[georgiapeach]

I think we have one...

[DrRox]

I think we have 3 or 4......

Sorry, I misread the question.
So if any team uses a train or a bus, Yes is the correct answer. If nobody uses a train or a bus, then No is the correct answer. Right?
This game is making my brain hurt.

That's how I would interpret it, but I'm losing motivation with how many loopholes there are here.

[Hooky]

Now I find myself having to do this yet again.

10 Points - With a U-Turn, a Fast Forward, and a host of other tasks do we see any airport footage?

Yes
No

Mswood, could you clarify this one please? If they do fly to Singapore (as opposed to a train, etc.) than wouldn't we see at least SOME airport footage during the episode? What do you define as not seeing airport footage?

Hooky there has been a couple legs over the years that has not shown  the airport, even though teams have flown.  We have to see the airport footage for this question.

We can't have teams open a  clue talk about getting a flight and then see planes landing in the next city.

Airport footage could be just seeing the airport, seeing teams in the airport, but it must be of the airport.

NO if we hear teams talk about using a train or a bus or if we hear Phil say teams are using one of those forms of transport that would count as well.

I will not count teams walking near a bus or a train.   Nor will I count being at a train station or bus station.  Unless its to buy tickets.

The answer would be yes if we see any team using (or we hear about them using) either a train or a bus.  No would be we don't see any team (or hear about them using one) a train or a bus.

The only hope that we can see any Airport Footage is during "Previously on TAR" where teams flew from Seychelles to Penang.

Which now leads me to ask: Does that airport footage count? *Goes to see if mswood wrote "leg" or "episode" in the question*

And the answer is...neither. Now what?

[mswood]

Previously on footage doesn't not count.  And obviously we have one person who actually reads spoilers....

[RudyRules]

  Dang it, I didn't know I'd get logged out without my consent for the pickem game!!  Had all the questions answered, clicked Submit then I find out Rudiii wasn't showing in the login space.  
I've been playing unspoiled, so maybe I better get spoiled IF I continue the game? 

There should be a notice on the game somewhere that you get automatically logged out without notice after so many minutes!!! 

[Hooky]

Does not count or doesn't not count? (I think I'm driving mswood crazy)

Well if that doesn't count, then I'm gonna bet "In two weeks.." is included, I saw them running out of the airport!

I really wish it did.  I know a couple of people this as bitten in the behind.  In fact, I always put in my answers then sign back in and see if it shows my answers just to double check.

Yeah good luck with that.

Using the same criteria as last time (and the other times).  Carol & Brandy are in 4th spot.  As team 1, is D&J, followed by Brent & Caite, teams 3-5 are determined by the position they arrived at the detour they are attempting, with cowboys 3rd, Carol & Brandy 4th, and Louie & Michael team #5, as that is the position they are in at their detour option after switching to the Fast Forward then the other side of the detour.

I just love that no one thought Donald was slower.  I love Don, the old fart.  Honest answer I think Drew (during All stars, Don, and Steve & Dave are slower, but that is still very telling for someone who isn't that old and is in law enforcement.

[DrRox]

Louis is the worst ever.

Drew was okay till he fell on that curb in Quito in the dark and really messed up his back. Same think with Steve and Dave, well really Dave.........he messed his knee up on the first task they had to do....walking in/on the snow......His knee was almost back to shape when they got eliminated.

I just thought Don was smart enough to not have to run.......lol...........He really knew how to pace himself........

0 points - 16 people answered this question - No

I'm going to have to respectfully raise an objection (despite the fact I put down no) before anybody else does. Is that the airport I see in the very first frame of the preview? (This also addresses uycocoa's early point.)

Otherwise, I'm hoping for no other disputes.
