Topic: RFF TAR 16 pick-em game

[mswood]

The only time a question will be about either the previously on, the previews for the next episode, or the elimination station is when the questions specifically asks about them.  I believe I addressed this sort of issue on the first page of this thread.

[Hooky]

Dang it. This really isn't a good season for me.

I put in Jet & Cord for all the questions where the correct answer is Brent & Caite. Who would expect them to be there, though?

I want Meghan & Cheyne back so I can pick them for every answer again!

[Caelestor]

Dang it. This really isn't a good season for me.

I put in Jet & Cord for all the questions where the correct answer is Brent & Caite. Who would expect them to be there, though?

I assumed from Caite's rhythm spiel in the preview that her team would finish the detour ahead of others, and of course everything cascades from that. 
However, I need to stop assuming that we're not going to be told how much money teams get.  
Other than that, this was my best round since Leg 3.

[Hooky]

However, I need to stop assuming that we're not going to be told how much money teams get. 

Oh, yeah. That's a big problem with me, too. I'm just afraid to take risks.

But I suppose it couldn't hurt to take some risks now, since I'm kind of stuck in 5th place.

[Caelestor]

Hooky must die.  It will be sudden yet brutal!  Mark my words.

 He did. For some strange reason he is no more. I think he was squeezed to death.

It was the Peach, not the apple that was the ruin of man!

  You got that right!!

I promise I am still alive. My account number is still 5724 if you don't believe me!

And no, I don't think I want to die. I won't back down easily, although my obsession with unpredictability may undermine my defense of myself!

I find this highly ironic in retrospect.

I did that too..... (mswood put Meghan and Cheyne for every option next leg!!!)

I didn't back down intentionally. I'm still trying hard. It's just that this season is the most unpredictable one we've had for a while.

[mswood]

Yeah because all the teams are so erratic.  Even the teams with good records aren't actually racing well (for the most part).  Its just nuts.

[mswood]

Well done everyone, great week.

Questions will be up probably wednesday (so I can work with at least some releases from CBS).

[kwando1313]

Wow, I did badly. I came in LAST this week....

[Sailing]

Am I tied for 8th place? I need to score higher these last few weeks to achieve my goal of Top 6!   

[Hooky]

I don't know what to say. I really had higher expectations for this week, and for this season in general.

Maybe I should just pick the placement questions randomly. Might have better luck that way.

Seriously Joab whats up?

That's the question that I've been asking myself this whole season.

I am so coming for you Hooky.

Well with how this season is treating me, I think you'll pass me before too long.

Don't say such things! I'm only 19 points behind you now.

[georgiapeach]

Heeee....poor you!! That'll teach you not to read our pretty spoilers.

[Jobby]

Seriously Joab whats up?

That's the question that I've been asking myself this whole season.

I'm just here to have some fun and not compete.

Seriously, the reason why i've been doing so badly for the entire season is because..
#1. I barely follow the spoilers
#2. This season is pretty bad for me because i choose to go with my gut feelings.

Many a times spoilers might have stated that a team might be eliminated.. but i'll still choose to go ahead and root for the team that i like and hope that miracle will happen... or a team i don't like will do really well.. and i still go against spoilers.

Such as hoping that Jody and Shannon will not be eliminated, followed by Monique and Shawne, Joe and Heidi, Steve and Allie...
and i really do not like Mike and Louie.. so for me to not choose them to do well for te three legs they came in first was a huge blow in terms of points.

Did not like Jet and Cord, Jeff and Jordan for the first three legs and there goes my points as well.

On the leg that my favourite team, Steve and Allie finally do well... it turns out that there are just so many errors within the entire leg and screw up everything regarding the questions.

So this season = unenjoyable for me.. so while i do not like this season. I still love this game and would love to keep playing and make the most out of it!!

PS: So weird for me to dislike a season.. visiting my own country.

[David]

No qns this week??

[kwando1313]

There's no TAR this week because of country music awards.

[mswood]
