10 Points – The iPad task is the last non navigational task of this leg?

Yes
No

What does this question mean?

[Mug Costanza]

10 Points – What’s the last racer from this season to speak?

Jill
Thomas
Brook
Claire
Nat
Kat
Gary
Mallory

Is this question referring specifically to footage from Leg 12/TAR 17 or does this also include the "announcement about next season"?

[mswood]

10 Points – What’s the last racer from this season to speak?

Jill
Thomas
Brook
Claire
Nat
Kat
Gary
Mallory

Is this question referring specifically to footage from Leg 12/TAR 17 or does this also include the "announcement about next season"?

Anything from the episode, including any announcement (thus the inclusion of Gary & Mallory) about all stars, voice overs over credits, anything.

[mswood]

10 Points – The iPad task is the last non navigational task of this leg?

Yes
No

What does this question mean?

Is there any task after the Ipad memory task, or is it simply teams going from route marker to route marker until they get to the Pit Stop (or even head directly to the Pit Stop).

For an example in TAR 12, after their difficult memory task teams had to a clue that would direct them to a statue of Captain Cook (they needed to find where it was by asking locals), once at the statue that last clue directed them to the Pit Stop.  So besides navigating there was no other task after the memory challenge.

Tasks are something like a roadblock, detour, intersection, Fast Forward, drinking a boot of Beer, having to climb up to the top of a building to get the next location, ect...

[mswood]

 

Here are what I believe the correct answers to be (warning there are a couple that are questionable).

10 Points –During the Recap Phil usually brings up past events for the finale three teams, for Brook and Claire will this include being U-Turned (must be in footage about Brook & Claire)?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – For Nat & Kat will this feature the Fast Forward Task?
10 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – For Jill & Thomas will this feature them U-Turning Brook & Claire (this must be in the section about Jill & Thomas)?
10 points - 10 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do we get departure Times for each team?
10 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points- Which team is the first full team shown (both racers from the team must be in it) once arriving in the US?
10 points - 7 people answered this question - Nat & Kat, leaving the plane, we can barely see Kat in front of Nat

25 Points – Points Which racer gets the first clue in the US?
25 points - 2 people answered this question - Kat


10 Points – Which team is 2nd to get a helicopter ride?
10 points - 10 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas


10 Points – Does this leg feature a Roadblock?
10 points - 15 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do both racers have to perform a task at the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 8 people answered this question - No, Roadblock one person not both


10 Points – Which team gets the first clue at the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 13 people answered this question - Nat & Kat


10 Points – Which team leaves the Rose Bowl first?
10 points - 13 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Is the iPad task is the last non navigational task of this leg?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Is the first team to arrive at the iPad task, the first to leave the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 14 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do all teams have stop and get directions during the episode?
10 points - 12 people answered this question - No

But here you can argue.  All teams do have to get clues answered, but I only consider Brook & Claire (who stop at a Hotel, and Jill & THomas we stop God only knows where), as Nat & Kat ask various cab drivers, but once they get in one and it starts driving they never get out.

10 Points - Which team is first to get to the iPad task?
10 points - 11 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Which team is 2nd to reach the iPad task?
10 points - 4 people answered this question - Brook & Claire


10 Points – Which team is last to arrive at the iPad Task?
10 points - 5 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas

We don't actually see them get to the ipad test (we have seen footage thinks to previews) but normally I judge only off footage, so you could certainly argue that Brook & Claire are in fact the last to arrive at the test (that we see)


10 Points – Is that team the last to finish the task?
10 points - 17 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Is the iPad task a?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - General Task


10 Points – Which team completes that iPad task first?
10 points - 12 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Which team completes the IPad task 2nd?
10 points - 5 people answered this question - Brook & Claire


10 Points – Which team completes the iPad task 3rd?
10 points - 6 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas, I assume we don't actually know


10 Points – Are teams required to bring supplies from part of the leg to another location?
10 points - 15 people answered this question - No

10 Points - Do any teams get taken to the wrong location by a cab?
10 points - 4 people answered this question - No

10 Points – Is the order teams leave the finale task the same order they arrive at the Mat?
10 points - 11 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – How many times are Jill & Thomas awarded first place during this leg?
0 points - 0 people answered this question - None
10 points - 5 people answered this question - 1, leaving the Pit Stop


10 Points – How many times are Brook & Claire awarded first place during this leg?
10 points - 7 people answered this question - None


10 Points – How man times are Nat & Kat awarded first place during this leg?
10 points - 4 people answered this question - 6 or more,

Getting the first cab. getting to route marker before the bungee
Completing the bungee, getting the RB clue, after completing the RB, at the studio, after completing memory task, and of course when they win 1 million.

25 Points – What is the arrival order for getting to Phil?
25 points - 6 people answered this question - N&K, B&C, J&T

10 Points – Does an all female team win the US version of TAR?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do the women teams go 1 and 2 this season?
10 points - 6 people answered this question - Yes


15 Points – Which is the first racer to get to Phil?
15 points - 6 people answered this question - Nat, she gets on the matt first and actually touches Phil first.


10 Points – What’s the last racer from this season to speak?
10 points - 3 people answered this question - Brook

OK, Brook is shown in clips there are Ninjas all around (or similar) and she is the last racers from the list here that has a clip with speech.


10 Points – Do we see actual new footage from season 18?
10 points - 12 people answered this question - No

We get new Promo material from Jet & Cord about season 18, but I don't think this will be race footage.

10 Points – Do they mention that its shot in High Def?
10 points - 15 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Last time racers returned we were shown lots of racers (many who didn’t appear) does this happen again?
10 points - 7 people answered this question - Yes, but only racers from 12 and up, and look at all the people from season 13.....

And

10 Points – Which team completes the iPad task 3rd?
10 points - 6 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas, I assume we don't actually know

We couldn't use assumptions earlier in the season (Specifically, the circus Detour in Russia) so we should not be using them now.

Based on footage, last to arrive at iPad task - Brooke and Claire.

Which team completes iPad task 3rd, technically.. we all know it's Jill and Thomas. But if you don't want to "assume", either points should be awarded to everyone, or no points awarded at all.

It' s interesting to see that the majority prefers the seasons before TAR All-stars and not so much the recent ones. TAR 17 for me felt a little like the older ones and that' s why I liked it so much.

That's exactly how I feel. I wonder if my preference for the old format has something to do with it..

I loved the first half of that season but when it got ugly I lost a lot of interest.  Oh well it does feature one of TARs best episodes.

0 points - 1 people answered this question - Season 14

I'm alone?!

I loved the first half of that season but when it got ugly I lost a lot of interest.  Oh well it does feature one of TARs best episodes.

I loved that season because of the teams involved. Like what Phil said, TAR 14 felt a little like TAR 1,3,5 and 7. And now TAR 17 feels like one of the old seasons too. Maybe it's because TAR 17 has 12 legs and in the older seasons, if you take away the TBC episode.. there's also only 12 legs.. so it feels like nothing much changes? I really like TAR 3 because even Flo may be one whineeeey b***h, she's still nice as she is (remember how she helped Ken and Gerard?) and how the twins were alpha male but nice and interesting at the same time. It was also the very first season which got me hooked on to the show.

I think many people picked Season 5 because it was the first season of the show which got them hooked on to TAR!!

[Ruth]

Indeed, Season 5 was the first season I watched that got me hooked onto the show. Subsequently, I've watched the older seasons before but because I kinda watched them all in a rush, I don't really have much impression of those. Season 5 wasn't that great a season for me because the winners killed it all. I'm probably in a minority with this view lol. But the final outcome matters a lot to me and can affect the whole season for me.

My favourite seasons are 17, 14 and 12!

[AmazingRace]

My favourite seasons are:  7, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 17!

Can't wait for TAR 18's pick-em game! 

[Prophet]

My favourite seasons are:  7, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 17!

Can't wait for TAR 18's pick-em game! 

I'll be playing this time around!

[mswood]

OK, after considering this, and keeping to my own rules, even though we do have pictures and clips of Jill & Thomas performing the memory challenge (is this the first time we got preview footage that actually wasn't part of the episode), thus for the first episode of who is the last team to complete the memory challenge that would be Brook & Claire (as they are the last team that episode footage shows completing the task, and the other question.  As for who completes the ipad task 3rd, since we don't know and don't see and I can't score a zero, points for all answers.

[ovalorange]

Congratulations Peach!    
 


And a big thankyou to mswood for hosting this game. It was my first season and you made it throughly enjoyable, I love it so much I'm going to play next time!   

I guess 3rd place first time round isn't too bad, but I'll be back next season to win it all   

[georgiapeach]

Wow...thanks! 

And many thanks to mswood for keeping the questions generic enough that I could play fairly with everyone!!

I love this game...it always makes me think!!

THANKS TO MSWOOD for making this so much fun!!

[Jobby]

mswood.. i submitted my answers. What happened there?

In fact i submitted twice.. having change answers the second time?!

[kiki]

Congratulations Peach!

And a big BRAVO!!!    to Mswood for a great game. I can't wait for February and the new game to begin.

[Jobby]

mswood, i checked and i still had no idea why my answers were not submitted.

I've been patiently waiting for the final results of this game and it shocked me that my answers were not even submitted when i clearly submitted it twice. Is there anyone else experiencing the same problem as me? I remembered the first time it lagged awhile, so i waited awhile more, before answering the whole set of questions again (while changing some answers here and there), before clicking the submit button and then it loaded back to the same page!

I can even remember each and every option which i picked!!

[georgiapeach]

You can answer the picks without being logged in...so if you forget to log in, it won't record your answers. I don't know if there is anyway to see if that happened or not.

Oh dear....
