Well, since there's nowhere for me to go but up, I'm predicting improvement this week (fingers crossed).  I think I lucked out on the left/right questions.

A point of clarity: the first clue after the flights was the one on the cars, correct?  Or would it be when they actually got to a clue box?

That was indeed a route marker clue.

Here are the questions for this week's episode.

1 (5 Points) - Are Jet & Cord awarded a Speed Bump for coming in last in the first leg?
No, no penalty of any sign was shown (really makes it look more like a TBC leg, but I already made that call)

2. (10 Points) - How many racers fall down while dressed as Kangaroo's?
1, Margie - Super women fell


3. (5 Points) - Is there a Roadblock this episode?
Yes, its the one we are seeing Jet & COrd perform during this episode.

4. (5 Points) - Does Mel receive MEdical Attention this episode?
No

5. (5 Points) - Amanda & Kris must perform a U-Turn at the first Detour they encounter. Will the U-Turn sign be labelled as an "Automatic U-Turn"?
There is no sign for the U-Turn


6. (15 Points) - What Position is Amanda & Kris when they start the first Detour option?
8

There is no Detour in this episode

7. (15 Points) - What Position are Amanda & Kris when they start the 2nd Detour option?
10, Ron & Christina still haven't finished their detour


8. (5 Points) - Do we see footage of E,S,M (Eat, Sleep and MIngle) during the wait after they sign up and when they actually leave Sydney?

No, we want drama, just random shots of teams getting flights, and trying to find sign up sheet.

9. (10 Points) - Which team is first to reach the first route marker for this leg of the race?
Kisha & Jen (kisha & Jen are awarded 1st by subtitles)

Mel & Mike (Mel & Mike are the first with RM that we see and these are the route markers on their cars.  I will except either.


10. (5 Points) - Are Gary & Mallory ever awarded 1st place on the new leg?
Yes, when they get their cab

11. (15 Points) - Which team is first to reach their next clue after their flight?
The first we see (Is almost Margie, but the shot ends before her hand touches it) with ROute Marker is Mel & MIke (from the first flight) but the subtitle shows Kisha & Jen (1st) So I will except either of those answers, and from the 2nd flight its Amanda & Kris either of those three answers will get you points.

12. (15 Points) - Which team from the 2nd flight (from this episode) is first to reach their next clue after they land?
Amanda & Kris


13. (15 Points) - Whats the highest position Kent & Vyxsin get in this episode
3-4, Clue Box in the stadium Field


14. (15 Points) - Which team is first to get the Detour Clue?
Zev & Justin


15. (5 points) - Is that the team that starts the detour first?
Yes


16. (15 Points) - Which team gains the most positions from the start of the detour to their completion of the Detour?
Margie & Luke
Start in 6th finish in 2nd.

CORRECTED
17. (10 Points) - How many teams perform the right side of the Detour?
1-2, only Kris & Amanda

CORRECTED
18. (10 Points)- How many teams perform the left side of the Detour?
All teams, and no I didn't pay attention to those DAMN press photos......


18. (10 Points) - What does the team that checks into the Pit Stop in first place win?
A Trip (non cruise)


19. (5 Points) - Do Jet & Cord check into the 2nd Pit Stop in the order they arrive at the Mat?
Yes


20. (5 Bonus Points) - Do you have an HD TV to watch TAR on?
Yes
No

21. (15 Points) - Who states the Title, "I never looked so foolish in my whole life."
Kisha & Jen

Not really a lot to question on this leg.

Hey, mswood, I think you may have the Detour choices wrong. I think Spirit World (the mosaic/dancing one) was the left side and Natural World (the paint spitting one) was the right.

Great thats a nagging point right there.  Yes you are right, on the tv it was the left side. 

I graded it like I was holding the card outward and it would be on my right, but I didn't judge it that way last year.  So Bonus point to You.

What exactly did this question mean again? I was pressed for time this week, so I didn't pay much attention.

Since we knew Jet & Cord survived the first leg, I was wondering if that team received any form of penalty. 

I asked an earlier question concerning a possible speed bump task, this one was to see if perhaps they got a time penalty.

We knew with spoilers (and why its harder to come up with fair questions) that Jet & Cord were released for the start of leg #3 in third place.  But for all we knew they might have arrived in 2nd place got a marked for elimination penalty and had to wait to be checked in.

Well as it turns out they received no penalty at all.

Back to the "leg" discussion again.

There was NO roadblock in this "leg".

We just saw Jet/Cord waaaaaaaaay behind in doing the RB from the last leg.

But from the point they hit the MAT and moved on...there was no RB.

So we see footage of a RB...but it belongs to the first leg, not the second.

And y'all need to trust me on the "legs".

And Yes, I am calling leg=episode for clarity, so back to semantics again. :lol:
