OK, I have been dreading this, but here are what I think are the correct answers to last week's game.

1. 15 Points - Which racer states the title, "We're good american people."
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Zev



2. 5 Points - Are we told how much money teams receive at the start of this leg?
0 points - 17 people answered this question - No

3. 5 Points - Do teams drive automobiles this leg?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - No

4. 10 Points - Which comes first?
0 points - 3 people answered this question - Speed Bump, the other teams get to their roadblock first.  But the speedbump task is before the roadblock.

I might be willing to bend on this one, give it a go.


5. 10 Points - What position are G & M when they get to the Speed Bump clue box?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - 6

6. 10 Points - Which position are they when they complete the Speed Bump?
0 points - 14 people answered this question - 6

7. 10 Points - Which team is first on the road with their mopeds (or whatever the hell they are on)?
0 points - 7 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy


8. Multiple Answers - Which racers complete the Roadblock on their first attempt? 5 Points for each correct answer, -10 for each incorrect answer.
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Zev & Justin
0 points - 3 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy
0 points - 3 people answered this question - Kent & Vyxsin
0 points - 5 people answered this question - Kisha & Jen
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Gary & Mallory

THe other two options are minus 10 points. 


9. 10 Points - Which teams takes the most attempts before they succeed with that task?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Jet & Cord


10. 10 Points - Which teams completes the Detour first?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Zev & Justin


11. 10 Points - How many teams initially perform the eating side of the Detour?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - 2, Zev & Justin and Kisha & Jen

I might be willing to give points to answer 1. since its very unclear if this means complete the task or start the task.




12. 10 Points - How many teams complete the other side of the Detour?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - 5, Kisha & Jen, Kent & Vyxsin, Gary & Mallory, Flight Time & Big Easy, Jet & Cord


13. 10 Points - Which team is U-Turned 1st?
0 points - 19 people answered this question - Jet & Cord


14. 5 Points - Are they the only team U-Turned?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Yes they are the only team


15. 10 Points - Which team is featured in a flashback to their original season?
0 points - 0 people answered this question - Zev & Justin
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Kent & Vyxsin
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Kisha & Jen
0 points - 8 people answered this question - Jet & Cord
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Gary & Mallory
0 points - 5 people answered this question - None

16. 10 Points - Which team uses the 1st U-Turn?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - Flight Time & Big Easy


17. 10 Points - What position are Zev & Justin at the Pit Stop?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - 1


18. 10 Points - What position are Flight Time & Big Easy at the Pit Stop?
0 points - 0 people answered this question - 5


19. 5 Points - Do Kent & Vyxsin end 5th or 6th this episode?
0 points - 5 people answered this question - No

20. 5 Points - Does Kisha & Jen finish 3rd or better this leg?
0 points - 17 people answered this question - Yes


21. 10 Points - Which position does Jet & Cord check into the Pit Stop?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - 6

22. 5 Points - Does Gary & Mallory stay alive to race another day?
0 points - 21 people answered this question - Yes


22. 10 Bonus Points - How do you feel about the Double U-Turn?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Hate it.
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Hate it, but its better then just having one
0 points - 4 people answered this question - dont care either way
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Love it

4. 10 Points - Which comes first?

The Speedbump task ONLY comes first for G/M. For ALL the rest of the teams, the Roadblock is the first task. They certainly don't wait around for G/M to do this.

Also, G/M are behind. The start the speedbump after most (all?) of the others have set off on the RB.

I think technically, the Speedbump should have come first but because Gary and Mallory were the last to reach, that's why we got the RB first.. so i think RB should be the correct answer too.

I am going to have to go a review previous seasons on that issue.

I am pretty sure it came up in season 16 with the last speedbump.

While racers got to the roadblock aspect of the race before Gary & Mallory got to the speedbump, doesn't change that the speedbump is an activity that occurs before the Roadblock, its just that only one team has to do it.

I'am leaning on both answers.  Because for the course Speed bump is first, and we know this based off the foottage that Gary & mallory can't to the Roadblock first, because its actually 2nd.  But in terms of chronology of the footage its shown 2nd.

Exactly. We saw the RB clue before the SB clue.

Yes, but in one of the shots with teams opening the Roadblock envelope, we can clearly see the Speed Bump in the background. It didn't just magically appear there for G/M.

Edit: Since G/M had to perform the Speed Bump prior to the Roadblock, that means the Speed Bump appeared first.

We saw the Roadblock cluebox, teams opening the RB clue, as well as Phil introducing the RB before teams mentioned that Gary/Mallory's SB was there was well...?

Why don't we consider the first envelope they took at pit start as the first Route Info and go with that as being first?

Just joking, I know it's not like that, although it would be perfect for me. LOL.

This one could use some clarification before it inevitebly gets made ambiguous by lazy editors.

5. 15 Points - Which racer is the first one to get the clue from the Detour (cluebox)?
Zev
Justin
Kisha
Jen
Kent
Vyxsin
Gary
Mallory
Flight Time
Big Easy
We don't see the first team take a clue from the cluebox

If we see (for example) Zev holding the clue that contains the Detour, but we don't see him pull it out of the cluebox, what happens? Would the last option cover that?

I think if it's obvious that Zev and Justin are the first team there and the only ones to reach the Cluebox first, if the scene of them taking a clue out of the cluebox first was omitted and the next shot of them shows them with the clue, then i think there will be 2 answers. One which is the team member who took the Detour clue first and second, we do not see the first team take the clue from the cluebox.

But if it's a rush, like in the China Leg 1 where we had so many teams rushing for the Roadblock clue and no placements or whatsoever.. then i think the we do not see the first team take the clue from the cluebox option is valid...

Hard to explain :lol: :lol: :lol: But we'll know when the episode is shown.

If we don't see it we don't see it. 

If we see zev & justin rush to the box (clearly there by themselves) and then switch to us seeing Justin with the clue.  Well then the answer would be

We don't see the first team take a clue from the cluebox

Because we don't see it.
