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.

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. :lol:
Apparently you weren't the only one.

And really when I reread how I worded it, I did an extremely poor job of explaining it on the question itself.

I think I did good explaining it on the forum, but not the game board.

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

I did, cuz Im a big dummy.  I originally chose 3, then changed my mind to 4.  I totally spazzed out  by forgetng that by clicking 4 I wasnt unclicking 3.

And I could have really used those points.... :groan:

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 - 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.....)

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.....

 :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: I REALLY like eat, sleep, mingle. But the fact that they focus SO MUCH ON IT until we get two to three promos about a basketball game... i geddit... but i rather have more U-TURN clips or Roadblock mania/frustration meltdowns. :meow: :lol:

After hearing your point, I admit I was wrong.

I admit I answered this. But why are you mad about it?

To be honest, I thought the whole basketball game was just so stupid.

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

First: Going  back to last week, although we see the Cowboys opening the roadblock clue before we see Gary and Mallory reading the clue, you rule that the latter got the roadblock clue first.  I disagree!  So there.

This week: Question no. 1.  When Zev and Justin are seen walking by and there is the subtitle: "Don't ruin the basketball game"  So to me it looks like either Zev (whose lips are moving) is saying the title. But somewhere lost in all the background ambiance there could be a female sounding voice saying the title, but who?  It sounds to me more like Cata than Mallory.  Or is it Jaime?  Or even Margie?  I don't think you can really identify whose voice it is.  So no points for anyone, or 15 points for any female chosen.

Question No. 15: "Do we ...see... Ron and his eating...?"  As we see the teams getting on the train there is a shot of Ron holding a half-eaten apple.  Does this count as eating?

I replayed the scene several times and I'm pretty sure it's Mallory that says the title.   That Kentucky twang is definitely there.

Also, I knwow it doesnt count since it wasnt shown on the episode, but Big Easy's team won the basketball game (according to an Insider Clip with Cord talking about having the game winning assist)

Two people say they heard Mallory say the title.  Two people selected Gary/Mallory as the answer to question no. l in the game.  Coincidence?

After rewatching that part I agree that the person who said the title is Mallory. It is clear that it is a woman's voice and you can hear the accent in her. Also the tone is softer.
And for the record my choice was Big Easy.

To be frank, i was darn surprised it came from her. I thought someone like Jet would be saying that quote instead. :groan:

No need to close the game earlier - I won't cheat - promise - trust me - honestly.

Looking forward to my best week - ever - !
From there to here, and here to there,
