And you were right, mugs will now be getting three nagging points.  And if you would have caught the error first it would be yours, but Mugs beat you to it.

6.  10 Points -  Which comes first after teams get released from the Pit Stop?

Route marker
Detour
Roadblock
Active route marker
Ron losing it

I meant to ask last week- When asking what comes first, we don't include the clue given to the teams to start the leg, do we?

12.  10 Points -  What's the lowest placement awarded to Jaime and Cara ithis episode?

1-2 (maybe Cara drives)
3-4
5-6
7-8 ( oh god they have to take a cab)
dead last (well that's probably just a pedestrian)

Same question- We know they are departing the Pit Stop last, so would that count?

Yeah I dont want you to count the clue when they depart, and I will change the wording on question 12 to reflect after they start the leg.

Thanks I didn't catch #12.

I had to go back and check last week.  Though i did mean after being released I didn't stipulate that.  Luckily for me a route marker was the next clue they got so, I don't have to go back and score it.

And I reworded question twelve, but my notes showed that i had planned to ask what's the highest position, not lowest.  But I am going to keep it at lowest and just added the qualifier that it occurs after departing the Pit Stop.

10.  5 Points -  Who does the roadblock?

Herb
Nate
I don't know which one is Flight Time and which one is Big Easy
There is no roadblock

mswood, how will this question be scored if one selects the third option. Would that be an automatic correct or automatic incorrect? I don't see how it could be anything else.

Think of that as the Bonus question for this week, the third option will be graded as correct.

Thank God for the 3rd option because I really don't know which one is which. And the same goes for Jamie and Cara I can't tell them apart, and the cowboys

The bigger one is Big Easy/Nate. Jamie and Cara are hard, Jamie is the meaner one  :lol:

Jet wears the black hat for the cowboys Cord has the white hat and red hair.

If you didn't know they always sit or stand the way their name is. For example Jamie would always be on the viewers left in pictures or confessionals etc. I just picked that up recently but it is a good way to remember who's who.

I think the third answer should not be counted as correct mswood, that would be unfair for people who actually picked the correct person. Just my 2 cents worth. If people want to pick the third option, they mind as well try their luck with either of the first 2 options?
