No Points for Peach......


YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mswood]

Question 14:  If Gary and Mallory skip the RB by using the EP none of the answers listed would apply.  So what to mark?  There is no line for :none of the above.

I didn't think about that until earlier today, but I would count either option that included Gary & Mallory.

No Points for Peach......


YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost!!

[mswood]

Last week was awful I think I ran into the house with 5 minutes to make picks for here and Joab's game...

[DrRox]

The game is locked almost 45 minutes early!! 

It will lock up next week too........since the board software will not recognize Daylight Savings Time till April 1.

I work many Sundays so that is often my problem too...I just pray the Internet is there when I have a second to post!

Last Week's Game

I am sticking with Right side for the Greeter, even though we do have a shot on the left (If the background would have been the same I would have taken both).

As for the Roadblock - I really, really want to take Margie & Luke, but based on how I have previous scored I can't.  So it remains Gary & Mallory.

Peach was 13th this week (he,he).  

This is what we picked.

0 points - 9 people answered this question - 1-2 (she see's all , she knows all)

0 points - 10 people answered this question - 3-4 (She actually does have a real job)

0 points - 8 people answered this question - 5-6 (Slow and steady win the race)

0 points - 1 people answered this question - 7-8 (I'm starting to like the look of things)

0 points - 0 people answered this question - 9-10 (Gosh, Joab might have a chance)

0 points - 0 people answered this question - 11-15 (Come on Peach, I wants a 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)

Obviously we have high expectations for Peach.  And who thought the absolute worst of her?

Answers for user: mswood
0 points - 1 people answered this question - 7-8 (I'm starting to like the look of things)

And well since no one got that question right (way to ruin it for all of us Peach!!!), the final tally for this week stays the same.

So congrats to Joab (BOOOOOOO!), Maf, (YAY), NOrth (YAY), Uycocoa (YAY), Me, and the rest of you losers (I kid).

In general a good week for some who haven't done that well, and some bad scores for the top portion of the overall leader board.

[Reilly Queens]

Wow last place.

[mswood]

Wow last place.

Well remember you thought it was going to be worse.

Argh  , forgetting about the first leg is really giving me no chance to get too high. Won't forget next season.

[Mug Costanza]

mswood, I didn't get to submit my picks for this week until 7:53 EST. Do you know if they were received? I can remember what I said for pretty much every question if you need to submit it manually...

Your answers are in. 

[Mug Costanza]

THANK YOU!

No nagging this week. I promise. Maybe. 

[mswood]

And here are what I believe to be the right answers for this week, remember if you disagree (and you might) pipe in and let me know.

1. 15 Points - Which racer (s) states the title, "Don't Ruin the Basketball Game"?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Gary & Mallory, Sounds like Mallory to me.


2. 5 Points - Do we get any departure times for teams this week?
0 points - 22 people answered this question - No, and can I say how much I HATE THIS.......

0 points - 18 people answered this question - Making Candy

0 points - 23 people answered this question - No

0 points - 1 people answered this question - Kisha & Jen, Somebody made a lucky guess


7. 15 Points - Which team complete's the detour (new from this leg) first?

0 points - 5 people answered this question - No

9. Is Margie & Luke the 1st team to get to the U-Turn?
0 points - 21 people answered this question - Yes, I really thought this might not have been true

10. 15 Points - How many teams "Choose" to do the Doll side of the Detour? Alternate/ additional Bonus: 5 Points make only two choices any more then two and no points will be awarded. Please make take the Bonus and make a guess.
0 points - 2 people answered this question - 1
0 points - 8 people answered this question - 2
0 points - 9 people answered this question - 3
0 points - 7 people answered this question - 4
0 points - 5 people answered this question - 5
0 points - 3 people answered this question - 6
0 points - 3 people answered this question - 7
0 points - 1 people answered this question - 8
0 points - 1 people answered this question - 9
0 points - 22 people answered this question - Bonus: There is no way I am going to guess right

Ron & Christina, Zev & Justin (ok lets play follow the leader the whole leg), Kisha & Jen (nearly as bad), and Gary & Mallory  So thats four.

And now off to see if anybody made two many choices....

11. 5 Points - Do any teams choose to switch detours?
0 points - 25 people answered this question - No

12. 10 Points - How many teams successfully complete the Doll Detour on their first attempt?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - 3-4, Kisha & Jen, Gary & Mallory, Jaime & Cara, and Flight Time & Big Easy


13. 15 Points - What team is the first to complete the Roadblock?
0 points - 20 people answered this question - Jet & Cord, Gary & Mallory Skipped the task, they did not complete the task.


14. 15 Points - Which combination of racers complete the Roadblock?

0 points - 19 people answered this question - Kisha, Gary, Big Easy
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Kisha, Mallory, Big Easy

Now Gary & Mallory didn't complete Roadblock, but I said I would take either.  And even though Gary choose to do the task, he still didn't complete it.  So I will take both.


15. 5 Points - Do we hear or see any mention of Ron and his "eating" that are from new footage in this episode?
0 points - 22 people answered this question - No.  And I was waiting for Ron to say, I thought you said we could eat at the Pit Stop.  There is no Pit Stop.  FEED ME!!!!

16. 15 Points (First four options)- Which team wins the Basketball Game or 5 Points (Final option)

0 points - 9 people answered this question - Not Shown, 9 get the larger 15 points
0 points - 9 people answered this question - US (the Viewing audience)9 settle for 5 free points

17. 5 FREE POINTS - We get Fake Eat, Sleep, Mingle (not a Pit Stop) footage of the teams playing Basketball, it's..?
0 points - 19 people answered this question - ABOUT GOD DAMNED TIME (which is in fact the only correct answer).  But I am generous so points for everyone.

0 points - 2 people answered this question - A Waste of time away from the RACE! (Who are these two, I will hunt you down.....)
0 points - 3 people answered this question - Neither here or there
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Can't judge the footage hasn't aired yet

18. 5 Points - Do we get a flashback to the Goth;s rather unusual attempt to use the U-Turn from their original season?
0 points - 21 people answered this question - Yes, I miss Nicholas & Donald.  

19. 5 Points - Does the team that checks into the Pit Stop in first win something besides a trip (Cruise would count as a yes)?
0 points - 11 people answered this question - Yes, $5,000 US each.

20. 5 Points - Do Gary & Mallory use the Express Pass this episode?
0 points - 7 people answered this question - Yes, and I almost didn't put an question about it.  I can't believe none of the press even hints of this (unless I missed something).

21. 5 Points for each correct answer, -10 for each incorrect answer - Which are the first three teams to check into the Pit Stop at the end of this episode? Note: You don't have to make multiple choices, but you can (so be careful)...
0 points - 19 people answered this question - Margie & Luke
0 points - 22 people answered this question - Jet & Cord
0 points - 20 people answered this question - Gary & Mallory

Jet & Cord, Gary & Mallory, Margie & Luke

[georgiapeach]

WHY did I even THINK we might get departure times??

I give up...No times, no $$, no ES....grrrrr!!!!

[mswood]

Why did I think the penalty might be for something else!!!!!

[mswood]

G-man - Start working on your bonus point......

[mswood]

JOAB

17. 5 FREE POINTS - We get Fake Eat, Sleep, Mingle (not a Pit Stop) footage of the teams playing Basketball, it's..?

0 points - 2 people answered this question - A Waste of time away from the RACE! (Who are these two, I will hunt you down.....)

OK - minus about 100,000 points for this answer.  Seriously........Your mama drop you on your head when you were a baby, didn't she?  Too many drugs growing up?  Come on.....

Question 14:  If Gary and Mallory skip the RB by using the EP none of the answers listed would apply.  So what to mark?  There is no line for :none of the above.

Heee...was just coming to say the same thing!!

I am 99% certain I heard Gary say he would do it before they took the shuttle up, fwiw.

[mswood]

NOTES:  On question 10.  I had 5 people make two many choices.  4 of those are clearly my fault for how I worded the question (they didn't fill the board they just made 2 regular picks, and then the bonus (and rereading what I put on the board itself I will not hold that against them).

I also had 6 or 7  players just picked once, either a general selection and no Bonus (Really, Peach....), and some who just took the Bonus.

So clearly the question confused people (I will absolutely be more clear next time, and yes that type of question in some form will reappear).

But I did have one player who selected every option.  I have no choice but to not count that question for that player, sorry.

Quote on my picks, "Now Gary & Mallory didn't complete Roadblock, but I said I would take either.  And even though Gary choose to do the task, he still didn't complete it.  So I will take both."

When asked by G-Man about this situation before the episode started I stated on the board that  would take either option for that team, meaning if you got Kisha and Big Easy right I would take either Gary or Mallory since if they used the Express pass no matter who choose to do the task they still didn't complete it.

It totally confused me...I thought the regular pick gave you 15 points and the bonus pic only 5. I had no idea what you were doing.
