Bye bye first place

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

[mswood]

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

655 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.......555pm Central Daylight Savings TIME

And why the hell are you not playing???

10. 5 Points - Who does the roadblock?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Nate
0 points - 11 people answered this question - I don't know which one is Flight Time and which one is Big Easy

Are we seriously handing out free points because people don't know who is who?

I asked mswood too, she said take it as free points so i ended up playing it safe and choosing that option.

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

NAGGING POINTS HERE I COME!



Since the question only asked whether greeter's on Phil's right side or not, and that the greeter appeared on both the left and right side of Phil.... mswood... decide on an answer!

Yes because the viewer of this season would have had no way of knowing who Nate or Herb is without going to materials outside of the episodes.  I have stated for the last several seasons that general answers unless specifically mentioned in the question would be from the episodes.  I cant find a single reference this season to who Nate and Herb are.

That is indeed one of several questions that I am expecting legitimate challenges on.  And in truth almost picked both to start with.

You just have to look in this thread

And to be honest I honestly don't know which is Herb and which is Nate?

It goes like this:
Flight Time\Big Easy
Herb          \Nate

Next point-

7. 15 Points - Which team is first to get the roadblock clue?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Gary & Mallory, THough Luke starts the RB first and actually gets to the cluebox first, locals block the view of him actually grabbing the clue.

Surely the sight of Luke standing in front of the cluebox is enough to assume he is taking the clue? What else is he going to do?

[mswood]

But that isn't from the episode.  Nor does it show proof.  Like a reference.  I do believe its accurate, but that's just taking the posting of a member.  I had to go to press materials to verify that.  Just as I used Kynt in typing for the questions until we saw int he episodes that the producers did indeed go with Kent.  

Just like I don't take answers from the Mat Chats, of from sources that point out legitimate errors from the broadcast.

Even in this episode we clearly see Luke getting to the cluebox first to get the Roadblock clue, but since the episode doesn't show that, I have to score Gary & Mallory who are shown with the clue next, even though its very likely by the running footage that they weren't even second.

Another valid point to bring out, you can't open your clue until your team mate is with you. Luke is the first person to the cluebox, but maybe he can't get the clue because Margie's not there yet. The next scene we see is Gary and Mallory claiming the clue as a full team.

I'm going to get as many nagging points as i can this episode.

I would dearly love to take that answer (as its the one I picked and would also give me points on is this team the first to complete the RB, I would really love 20 more points).  But again through the history of the game have gone with what we are shown, even if that isn't what I honestly believe the answer is.

I will go through some older cycles and see if I ever do take that choice even if it isn't shown.  

[Jobby]

I picked Margie and Luke too, but i think we have to be fair as the answer is clearly Gary and Mallory as a full team and WITH A CLUE (Luke doesn't have the clue)... as i've explained. Either way if mswood change the answer to Margie and Luke, then i'll gain 10 more points.

In fairness to Coutzy, I don't think even that is right.  As full teams appear to have a lead over both Gary and Mallory.  I think its just poor editing (notice we get very little in subtitles actually stating team order this week).  But when we see teams make the choice on who is doing the RB, I think that is actually the order.  But I can't take it accept for the order of starting the RB as deciding who is the first step in starting the RB.

And we have had the argument (I think most recently in season 15, but it also happened in season 14) that on these questions I just care for who has control over the clue.  Be it one racer or both.  It came up ion the finale leg in Vegas for 15 with Sam gaining control over the clue even though Meghan and Cheyne were clearly closer to the clue.  And with Luke and Jen I believe.

[Jobby]

Hmmm, i'm not very sure about how you've seen it in past incidences like this. But Luke sure didn't have a clue in his hand when the shot of him was shown. Is that a better argument? I mean, he may not be able to retrieve a clue until Margie arrives?

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

655 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.......555pm Central Daylight Savings TIME

And why the hell are you not playing???

I did play!!

[Prophet]

I think the answer to #5 is actually three trains. One for R/C, one for K/V, and one for the rest of the teams.

I saw this strange sight too, Joab, but I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! Why did the greeter switch sides like that?!
