NOTE:  Due to Daylights savings Time the game clock will be off by an hour.  The game will end at 7:55pm est time even if the game clock is not reporting that time.  So for those out of EST time zones please be aware of the actual time difference.

In other words...right now the game ends at 655PM according to the time on the game board clock right now.

:lol:

Naw......but you didnt say which time zone........it normally starts here at 655........but it is just for the game clock, right, that it is closing early?

Well it looks like the board/game clock is set correctly now. At least it is posting the correct times for posts, not an hour off like last year.

Now the question is what to do with any question regarding the detour.   Should I only account for the teams that have reached the detour (notice the questions say nothing about this episode or the leg), what do with the racers who's we are showed completing the detour, arrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy I killed myself with the questions this week.  And I new it was a TBC.

Last week, I waited til the last minute, spent less than 15 minutes on the game and came in first.  :ya3:

13. 15 Points - Which team gains the most positions performing the detour?
0 points - 7 people answered this question - More then one team


OK, since teams must travel to their detour choice, I go on when we see teams performing the task.  Meaning Margie & Luke, Gary & Mallory, Jet & Cord, Ron & Christina, Kisha & Jen, Jaime & Cara (start and then switch), Flight Time & Big Easy, Zev & Justin.

Jet & Cord, Kisha & Jen and possibly Flight Time & Big Easy (the best they could have done) improve 1 spot.  So more then one team.

0 points - 26 people answered this question - Yes, I hope....

22 (okay enough already). 5 Points - If so, does Philly Style mention any form of penalty for the last team to arrive?
0 points - 9 people answered this question - No, it isn't mentioned and it is a non elimination leg of some sort  And could thing it wasn't stating "Does Philly Style mention any for of penalty to the last team to arrive, though technically that would be Jaime and Cara...)

I changed my mind.  I am picking this one (like the question above it, its possible that by next week, I might have to rescore the game.

23 (dear god make it stop)! 5 Points - Is the greeter on Phil's right side?

At first I thought Left (when we first see her, but the shot is reversed), its the right, and how she is shown when she is actually greeting.


24 (that's it I am coming to your house to kill you)! 15 Points - Before this question is scored, what place will Peach be in on this week's game?

0 points - 0 people answered this question - 11-15 (Come on Peach, I wants a present)  If the score isn't challenged this would have been the correct answer.  Damn it it looks like I missed my present.
0 points - 0 people answered this question - 16-20 (She gets Ken to Play for her)
0 points - 0 people answered this question - 21-25 (The east Coast loses power and she can't connect to the internet)
0 points - 0 people answered this question - 26 - Dead Last (Be Careful, the Ends of Days is upon us)

I say Curse MArgie & Luke not being shown grabbing the RB clue first (that impacted two questions for me, and I need those points).
