RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
mswood:
Boy a lot changes when I go to sleep.
NOTE: Apparently CBS's online site screwed up and released a host of clips that spoil among other things most of the detour and the Pit Stop placement for this full leg.
When I create the questions I try and make sure that (at the time I start that week's game) no question can be directly answered by spoilers. I know that CBS often releases one clip very late in the week (but I can't make a habit of starting the questions on Saturday), and I also know that often things like boot lists might be available to some (this site after Season 11, will not release a boot list, even if they have been supplied one, nor will they spoil the final three, other sites might), but I still take that into account and try to limit the points that one could earn even if you knew the boot order.
I also know that the detectives might be able to fill in the blacks on several questions during their work during the week (my favorite example is Chateau using the light on the chests of the final three in season 10, to accurately plot which team arrives 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I actually love that, using little clues to be able to figure out things is awesome and a huge, huge part of this site. But CBS literally spoiling about half the episode before it even airs is unheard of.
So questions that are fully answered by those clips I will be awarded full points to everyone (you must still make a selection on those questions to receive those free points). The one exceptions is the multiple choice question concerning which teams finish the leg in position 3 and 4. That question will get zero points awarded to everyone.
Please make sure to make your selections, for the full game. And remember some of the detour questions may not be fully answered by those clips so make you choices carefully.
Even if you think that will be a question that is going to be free points you must make your selections, for me to award those points.
Sorry, but I do know several posters who don't seek out spoilers and I try and make this as fair as reasonably possible for them.

That's a bummer :( Make the real effort to get to a computer in time for the quiz only to find that it had been closed one hour early (:;) If you don't have the time or ability to glue yourself to a terminal 24/7 how are you to know that the closing time has been pushed back an hour early :umn: Sort of takes you out of the game competition and any effort to keep up. Its just too much for me with everything else going on in my life. I had been looking forward to the weekly mswood quiz as a nice relief from my other worries. Just not worth the effort anymore. Caio. Have fun during the rest of the race.

Have fun with this one.
Interestingly enough, I think there was only one clue box in this episode/leg.

First: Going back to last week, although we see the Cowboys opening the roadblock clue before we see Gary and Mallory reading the clue, you rule that the latter got the roadblock clue first. I disagree! So there.
This week: Question no. 1. When Zev and Justin are seen walking by and there is the subtitle: "Don't ruin the basketball game" So to me it looks like either Zev (whose lips are moving) is saying the title. But somewhere lost in all the background ambiance there could be a female sounding voice saying the title, but who? It sounds to me more like Cata than Mallory. Or is it Jaime? Or even Margie? I don't think you can really identify whose voice it is. So no points for anyone, or 15 points for any female chosen.
Question No. 15: "Do we ...see... Ron and his eating...?" As we see the teams getting on the train there is a shot of Ron holding a half-eaten apple. Does this count as eating?
--- End quote ---
Yes, he is eating the apple (heck even has bite's out of it. So that is a bonus point and I need to change that answer (Darn it).
