Which team is the first seen on screen? (15 points)Anne-Marie and Tracy [tarflyonthewall]
Which racer is the first seen with a clue in hand (Not necessarily the first racer implied to get a clue) 30 pointsMel []
I'm so glad I specified that it wasn't first implied to get a clue. Saved me a lot of hassle. Alana and Mel were clearly the first pair shown with a clue, and Mel was the one who took the clue. Feel free to fight me on this, but nobody picked Alana either, so it won't affect scoring.

Do any teams get lost while driving to Tullamarine? (5 points)
Yes [Coutzy, KiwiJay, LoveRocked, BayBay, ovalorange, Kandace, kiki, tarflyonthewall, mswood] Rewatch
Alana and Mel state that they can't find their way around Melbourne, AND judging from the background in the shot they say this, Melbournians (like me!) can tell that they have gone the wrong way and are driving back in the direction of the MCG.
