Topic: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game

[Reilly Queens]

I'm going to fail this week. Again.

[mswood]

Trust me you should have company.   This week was hard as there really not alit released.

[georgiapeach]

There is now!!

[mswood]

My God, all in just a few hours..  Has this ever happened before...

[Jobby]

My God, all in just a few hours..  Has this ever happened before...

Thank God i updated the game late...

[mswood]

Boy a lot changes when I go to sleep.

NOTE:  Apparently CBS's online site screwed up and released a host of clips that spoil among other things most of the detour and the Pit Stop placement for this full leg.

When I create the questions I try and make sure that (at the time I start that week's game) no question can be directly answered by spoilers.  I know that CBS often releases one clip very late in the week (but I can't make a habit of starting the questions on Saturday), and I also know that often things like boot lists might be available to some (this site after Season 11, will not release a boot list, even if they have been supplied one, nor will they spoil the final three, other sites might), but I still take that into account and try to limit the points that one could earn even if you knew the boot order.

I also know that the detectives might be able to fill in the blacks on several questions during their work during the week (my favorite example is Chateau using the light on the chests of the final three in season 10, to accurately plot which team arrives 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.   I actually love that, using little clues to be able to figure out things is awesome and a huge, huge part of this site.  But CBS literally spoiling about half the episode before it even airs is unheard of.

So questions that are fully answered by those clips I will be awarded full points to everyone (you must still make a selection on those questions to receive those free points).  The one exceptions is the multiple choice question concerning which teams finish the leg in position 3 and 4.  That question will get zero points awarded to everyone.

Please make sure to make your selections, for the full game.  And remember some of the detour questions may not be fully answered by those clips so make you choices carefully.    

Even if you think that will be a question that is going to be free points you must make your selections, for me to award those points.

Sorry, but I do know several posters who don't seek out spoilers and I try and make this as fair as reasonably possible for them.

That's a bummer   Make the real effort to get to a computer in time for the quiz only to find that it had been closed one hour early    If you don't have the time or ability to glue yourself to a terminal 24/7 how are you to know that the closing time has been pushed back an hour early Sort of takes you out of the game competition and any effort to keep up.  Its just too much for me with everything else going on in my life.  I had been looking forward to the weekly mswood quiz as a nice relief from my other worries.  Just not worth the effort anymore.  Caio.  Have fun during the rest of the race.

[georgiapeach]

Oh G-Man I am so sorry! Blame it on Canada...we announced it and added it to the thread much earlier....but you picked a good week to miss, the whole week is a screwup. I will be glad to PM you next time??

[chill_sd]

5. 15 Points - Which is the 1st to get to the first clue box after departing the Pit Stop?
Jet & Cord
Gary & Mallory
Margie & Luke
Kisha & Jen
Kent & Vyxsin
Flight Time & Big Easy
Ron & Christina
Zev & Justin

Have fun with this one.

Interestingly enough, I think there was only one clue box in this episode/leg.

[mswood]

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?

Yes, he is eating the apple (heck even has bite's out of it.  So that is a bonus point and I need to change that answer (Darn it).

I hope you will reconsider, I will miss you.

9. 5 Points - Do we have an "Active Route Marker" as the next clue after leaving the Roadblock?
Yes, Drinking the tea still in "beloved" China.  I beat the tourism bureau just loved all the racer comments tonight.

The correct answer here is actually no, because the question asks- Do we have an "Active Route Marker" as the next clue after leaving the Roadblock.

The only thing teams did to get their next clue after the Roadblock was find the right place, ergo, not an active route marker.

[georgiapeach]

I put up the vids in the Insider section, most of the the pre-released ones are there.

They are all shown exiting the airport together, there is only one direct flight arr 1150PM.

They puked. But there is a "gag"order in place.

[mswood]

Clutch is correct that's one point!

Thank You, all wise and beautiful one.

Oh, and to add salt to the wound.  I spelled my own email account wrong, and thats why you never were able to send me the vids.  Oops  Sorry....

[Reilly Queens]

Great, I went from 80 points to 60 points

[georgiapeach]

I think I have zero.

[gingerman28]

I love to pick nits so here is one for this week.  Question #5 who is the first to get to the first clue box after leaving the pit stop.  We actually never see who gets to the clue box first.  There is a mass rush up the stairs and into the room with the clue box.  The next scene shows Kisha and Jen walking away with what looks like the clue envelope in their hand (but are we sure it is the clue envelope?)  We also see the Globetrotters and the Cowboys along with Luke and Zev and Justin milling around.  But we do not see Gary and Mallory, or Ron and Christina, or Kent and Vyxsin. So have they already gotten the clue?  If you follow the same practice you did last week and in previous shows, the team seen opening the clue and reading it first are Flight Time and Big Easy before Phil appears and explains the clue is the team you have deemed to have received and read the clue first.   To compound the matter, the start of the roadblock is presenting the mango and papaya along with the tea to the auctioneer.  In this event the first to do so is the Cowboy, followed in order by Vyxsin, a Globetrotter, Kisha and Luke.

So who is on first?
