Title: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on February 13, 2011, 07:15:21 PM
http://targame.realityfanforum.com/
The Game is now alive and kicking

Good Luck Everyone!!!
 :killme:



Well T-Minus six days twenty three hours and fifty nine minutes the new season of TAR will be here.  So it's time for me to start off the new season of the Pick-em Game.  Everyone is welcome to play.

Some notes:

1.  The game is weekly, and runs until 7:55 pm eastern time unless otherwise noted.  
2.  A link will be provided at the top of this thread to where you will sign in to place your answers.  Link is provided.
3.  Remember that you need to log into the linked game page.  You can create it with your current sign in info or you can pick a new one.  Remember to always sign in before inputting your answers.  If you don't the game will not record it.  You can even double check by logging in at a later date to see if your answers are still selected.  I really recommend caution as at least once a season a persons answers are not recorded.  
4.  If for some reason the site isn't working you can pm your answers directly to me.  As long as the time is before the cut off I will add them to the results of this thread, even though they won't be visible on the game page.
5.  I am going to hopefully have questions up by Tuesday before each episode, though anyone who has ever played before know that it is more likely to see them up before Thursday.  I really aim to do better.
6.  Answers will be posted on this thread after the episode airs.  And it frankly all depends on how fast I get to see the episode.  When posted I freely encourage everyone to correct any mistakes that I will make.  After a brief review period I will make a final judgment and then officially put the answers in the game.  The results of each week and the overall running totals will be posted here, and can be seen on the game page.
7.  If you have a question about any of the questions you can either ask on this thread (where everyone will see my answer) or you can ask by pm (where only you will see the answer)

And do the nature of the game some spoilers will be used.  Be from previews, magazine articles or even the work of the detectives here.  But I try to make sure that the detectives great work isn't able to give you an answer.  But it will happen as they can be quite resourceful in discovering new information during the week before an episode.

TERMS

A new term is active route marker.  For the purpose of this game this is a task that requires the racers to something more then just travel by foot or car to get their next clue.

It can be drinking a "boot" of beer.  Taking a rafting trip, ect.

Episode, means (unless noted in the question) events that occur during the broadcast hour, they don't include the previously on segment, the opening credits or the previews for the next episode.

Leg means the official point teams are released by Phil to the point where Phil officially checks people in.

The Mat refers to reaching the Mat, where Phil usually is waiting.  It does not refer to the order they are officially checked in.

Pit Stop refers to the point that Phil officially checks teams in.

Ok, I've read all the questions, I pondered on them and at the end I will probably close my eyes and choose an answer.
But I do have one question: Question 6 The first team to hold a paper airplane. Is that any airplane or an airplane with the correct clue and thus be the first team to complete the task?

Happy New Season of TAR day.

Just a reminder, answers need to be in by 7:55pm eastern standard time.  I encourage everyone playing to double check to make sure your answers have gone in.

You can do this two ways.

Follow the link on the first page to the game page.  Once there you will see three headers
1.  List of Games
2.  Leader board
3.  Register or log out.  If it shows register you will need to log back in.  If it says log out you are already logged in.

At this point you can push leader which will bring up everyone who has put questions in.  Click your name (and it will at this point only work with your name) and it will take you to the answer selected.  Thus you can see your picks.  Or instead of pushing leader board you can push the link that says TAR WEEK ONE.... That will take you to your selected answers.

I recommend the second option for double checking.

It's nice to see some new faces and a couple posters who didn't play last season.  Of course some of those have shown they are awful good at the game, so good luck all.

Post by: mswood on February 20, 2011, 11:13:29 PM
And here are what I think the answers are:

And a special shout out to DrRox who made me had the last and correct option for the Title.

Questions in bold are ones that I really need some insight on.


1. (15 points)  Which team states the title, "Head Down and Hold On"

Its someone else or Something else, the sailing crew.

2. (5 Points)  Do we get new opening credits (not just a few new scenes, but complete new credits), or is the previous version still used even with moving up to High Def (not asking about the racers footage)?

Same, while it's not new is the same style with several of the same images, and like I stated besides racers it had to be complete new credits.

3. (15 Points) Who is the first team in the opening credits?

Jet & Cord


4. (5 Points)  Does Phil's introduction of the teams include any footage from their original appearance?

Yes

5. (5 points)  Does Phil mention how many legs will be elimination legs?

No

6. (15 Points) Which team is the first team to be shown holding a Paper Airplane?

Gary & Mallory, Mallory is the first racers that I can see on freeze frame with her hand on the plane.  First one to take it off the post is Amanda, but I just said hold it.  So Gary & Mallory


7. (15 Points) Which team is is last to successfully complete the episodes first task?

Amanda & Kris


8. (15 Points) Which team is the last team heard when we cut to the opening credits?

6 or more, Vyxsin, Mallory, Jen, Christina and Cara all on buggies, and Jaime and Margie in cars.

10. (5 Points)  The last team to complete the first task is going to get a penalty.  Is this a new form of U-Turn?

Yes, one you earn on your own performance

11. (5 Points) Does that team have to perform that penalty during this leg?

No, while we long talk about this being a TBC or Double Leg, Phil flat out calls it the Pit Stop thus Peach was right it isn't in this leg.


12. (15 Points) Which team is it?

Amanda & Kris, well as Kris said at least they did it to themselves.


13. (5 Points) Do we see teams (plural) at LAX during this episode?

Question is the subway terminal connected to the airport?

I can answer that. The subway TRAIN! terminal is directly connected to the airport. The station is immediately underneath it and is called Sydney International Airport. However, once you leave the station, you are no longer considered to be in the airport. The only time I could say for certain that the train has left the airport station (using the footage we see) is when the train is arriving at Circular Quay and you can see daylight out the window. The only reason we know its outside the airport is because the airport train station is clearly underground.

Even though we know the train is moving while Mallory is talking to Jen, and I'm confident that this happened well outside the airport train station, I can't remember for certain, and the footage in no way backs up that claim.

Yes, two of them are, and it was announced on flight.

I'll try to keep these in mind as soon as I rewatch, but I was thinking they don't actually know until they arrive. They are speculating on the plane that they have lost their lead...but really know? Need to rewatch.

Prophet, not sure how you figure your standing yet when the game is not yet completely scored...there is still a good bit to review I think?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Prophet on February 21, 2011, 02:30:17 PM
Mallory says on the train: "Didn't you hear, the stewardess guy came up to us and said the flight (indistinct) didn't land yet."
That's about all that is said about it.

Also if this opinion is correct I should have gotten #2 correct:

I'll be a little more specific here since in this thread we can reference spoilers.  In watching the totally revamped intro last night (I did replay it a couple of times afterward), it seemed to me that almost every clip (or just about all of them) are new; that is to say, even the clips of most of the world landmarks used before seem to be new material and not recycled from the SD-era intro. One for instance, is the Christ The Redeemer statute in Rio.

I recognize that some of the images were recycled (such as the one castle shot), but everything's been re-edited, and I got the impression that all of the Racer action clips are new.  I am sad to see the retirement of that opening CGI passenger jet, I've always thought that was a cool image, and I hate to see it gone.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Prophet on February 21, 2011, 02:33:19 PM
If the train station is part of the airport then the answer to #16 is Gary and Mallory. They do not technically leave the airport until the subway pulls out. You can see this at 16:01 in the online version.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Prophet on February 21, 2011, 02:40:58 PM
The answer to #17 is complicated. They show some of the teams on the second flight to land making the train but Ron and Chris, Jet and Cord and Mel and Mike missing it. Then it cuts to the other three doing the RB. It doesn't show R/C J/C or M/M again until they are boarding the ferry. Therefore we don't know the last team to leave the airport. The last team to be shown there though is Jet and Cord at 17:47 (online). After that point we don't see the airport again so it would have to be them.

I was hoping that the terminal was a separate entity connected.  I will do some personal research to verify.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Prophet on February 21, 2011, 03:42:46 PM
I don't see why we have to wait until they reach the Quay. While Mal is being shown the train is moving as you can see by looking out the window. This means they have left the actual airport to me.
If the train station is not the airport the answer is still Gary and Mallory shown at about 15:52.
If you must wait until the shot of the bridge is shown outside the train window then the answer is Kisha and Jen at 16:35.
(This is all about question 16)
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: georgiapeach on February 21, 2011, 05:11:48 PM
I travel through a lot of airports with attached train stations. Whether the train station is attached or underneath or on top of the airport, once I am in the environs of the train station...I am in the "train station" and out of the airport.

For our purposes, I would consider any train station shots or inside train cars as totally separate from the airport.

At some point we have to rely on the intention of the question....right?

But the question asked if the credits changed in totality (not just a few new scenes, but complete new credits). And I think mswood is correct.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: georgiapeach on February 21, 2011, 05:35:01 PM
We will never see all new credits again unless Bill Pruitt comes back to TAR one day...we can live in hope.

I like the old familiar caps mixed in anyway.

I am doing the caps for the new Intro now, there are still a bunch of the old mixed in with the new.

That was going to be my interpretation, using the footage of teams going down into the train station (I even considered using footage of them getting into the train as the cut off point).  Lord me a stupid questions.....
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game

Like I said under that assumption G/M were the first to exit the airport. Can we please define whether or not the escalator is part of the train station or airport? This is important b/c the last team to leave the airport could change from J/C to R/C (as seen by Jaime out the train window).

If the escalator is part of the train station then Mel and Mike are the last team to be shown in the airport when they are deciding whether to go on the elevator or escalator.
If the escalator is part of the airport then the answer is Ron and Christina.

On question no. 10 the form of the UTurn will be the same as all UTurns in the past; that is do both halves of the upcoming Detour task.  It is just how you get the UTurn that is different.  So I would have to say that NO would be the correct answer as the UTurn double task is the same as it was in the past.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game

Respectfully disagree on that...this IS a new form of U=Turn...it is one you earn yourself based on your performance...not one slapped onto you. How you get it isdefinitely part of the form.

Oddly enough, this may be the only way I wil ever not hate and despise the U-Turn!

IMO, I'd only consider it a new type of U-Turn if there's a special label on the sign (like Blind or x2), though this might be the case. Might as well call it the "U-Bump" for now :P

Unless the upcoming U-Turn signboard has the word "automatic" in it, I think it is not a new form of a U-Turn.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Coutzy on February 21, 2011, 11:08:48 PM
Remember that Phil referred to it as "An automatic U-Turn"

I think that more than anything indicates that it is a new form of the U-Turn.

I tend to agree with the Peach/Coutzy view of the U-turn, but Cocoa definitely has a point.

The Prophet

On the opening there are 13 elements that are from last season.  Now some of those are flipped left to right, some are played in reverse, but I was able to match specific non structural elements (like specific cars or people) and another one is literal from the same shot but was not shown, and that one is Big Ben.  Its the same shot, but its like the footage used is the part that was cut from season 17, and again you can tell by the traffic in the shot.  And HD really helps point out those elements.  


And I specifically omitted racers footage from the question.

So its same in my book.

Previously any U-Turn (even the Blind or Double) was placed on you by another racer.  This one was due to your own actions.  Thus its new.

NOw on to the train.  AARRRGGGHHHHH!!!

Well I am going to use it counting when they are on the platform or the train.  I originally considered the escalator or elevator, but it thinking about it, I can't say which is airport which is Train.  SO Platform and Train it is.

First team to be shown on or entering the train is Kisha and Jen, as they go to the upper level of it.

Last team shown entering or on the platform (or Train)  is Jet & Cord.

One other thing.  I fully encourage you to voice your opinion on my answers.  I might disagree, but you can change my mind.  I also am out and out wrong on occasion.  So I appreciate everyone keeping me honest.

But after I officially score it I almost never will change an answer with the exception of when I actually score the game in error (Which has also happened).

And to continue a thing.  1 free point for any error I make in scoring the game on the system, or when you manage to get me to change my mind.

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.

If a question states bonus points it means all answers are technically correct. It's more like a poll of the players.

For the Detours it works based on the graphic we see on TV (The point is that we can't predict it, thus taking away some of the spoiler advantage)

It works thus:

High << DETOUR >> LOW

LEFT << DETOUR>> RIGHT

As Coutzy said you can't predict it. If you know how many teams did one detour and how many did the other you have a 50% chance to get it right. That's the best you can hope.

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.

As Coutzy said you can't predict it. If you know how many teams did one detour and how many did the other you have a 50% chance to get it right. That's the best you can hope.

Qn 20, clearly stated 5 Bonus Points by mswood. It doesn't matter if there's a right answer or not as both options will give you points.

As for how on earth are you supposed to predict the right and left sides of the Detour, i hope you understood Coutzy's explanation. Basically if the TV shows this Detour option on the screen

HIGH      DETOUR     LOW

And then 5 teams did LOW because it's on the right side, then the answer is 5.

Most of the questions in this game require careful examining.. otherwise every question is just about as close as to making a blind guess.. isn't it? :)

We had faith in Coutzy's detective abilities and stealth that's why we answered no in Joab's game and in reality we never saw him. If Coutzy himself hadn't recognised the back of his head we would have been correct.

I know this is a bit late, I hope these can be answered in time. I hope you're ready for some lovely nitty gritty queries about the questions this week mswood  :lol3:


9. (10 Points) - Which team is first to reach the first route marker for this leg of the race?
Gary & Mallory
Kisha & Jen
Amanda & Kris
Zev & Justin
Flight Time & Big Easy
Jaime & Cara
Margie & Luke
Ron & Christina
Mel & Mike
Kent & Vyxsin
Jet & Cord

10. (5 Points) - Are Gary & Mallory ever awarded 1st place on the new leg?
Yes
No


19. (5 Points) - Do Jet & Cord check into the 2nd Pit Stop in the order they arrive at the Mat?
Yes
No
There isn't two Pit Stop in this episode
Jet & Cord are eliminated at the 1st Pit Stop

Just a few questions...

Question 9: Does the route marker count as the clue received by teams from Phil at the mat at Shelley beach, The first team to sign up for the planes to Broken Hill or the first clue opened in Broken Hill?

Question 10: Leg is classified as start to finish of an episode to the point where teams are checked in... so if Gary and Mallory are shown as "Currently in first place" on the mat at Shelley Beach, does this count as this leg? They haven't offically embarked on leg 1B, but it's part of the episode. If that makes sense.  :colors

Question 19: Just to be a pain in the butt, a pit stop is classified as checking in... teams don't check in in Sydney. You got that part of the question down. However, you list the question as "Do Jet & Cord check into the 2nd Pit Stop in the order they arrive at the Mat?" If Shelley Beach isn't the pitstop (teams don't check in), then the leg 1 pitstop is this episode (episode 2) and the leg 2 pitstop is in some other random country on episode 3 - not for this weeks questions. :lol:

I think thats why the option for not having 2 pit stops this episode is in the answers.

I would go with the intention here or we will all end up insane.
Teams sorta check in...Phil says...you are team # 6 or whatever...there is a MAT and a greeter....the only thing is they keep on racing. This is new territory...a neverending PitStop. :o

So mentally I am substituting "that place where Phil, the MAT, and the greeter were" for the word PitStop.

But I could be nuts too, what mswood says goes. :lol:

Basically, I think its asking us if we think there will be a Marked for Elimination.

Phil calls this a pit stop. At the start he says "The first team to check in to the pit stop at the end of this first leg of the race, will win the express pass.". Gary & Mallory got the express pass on Shelly beach so that is counted as a pit stop.

I would call this a normal leg which ended with a pit stop and then the next leg starts immediately without any rest. When the cowboys check in we get to know if this a non-elimination leg or not.

Ovalorange

Good questions. 

1.  Route markers for clarity are clues that are general (Fast Forward, Detour, Roadblock, U-Turn, and Intersections are not route markers) and usually are to get teams from point A to point B.

They are usually in clueboxes along the race, but Phil does hand out one to each team at the beginning of a new leg.

***But the question isn't who is given or who gets the first route marker of the leg, but who reaches it.  Meaning this question does not refer to Phil handing out a clue, unless he does so at some point after teams are released from the Pit Stop and before reaching the next Pit Stop.

Sign up sheets are not Route markers....  (though teams can be given route markers clues when departing or getting to a sign up sheet).

2.  If Gary & Mallory are shown in any footage of the new leg then it yes would count.  And since I use "leg" footage of them with "currently first place after Phil hands them their clue would absolutely count.

3.  Since Phil mentions live on race footage (not edited voice over in Post) that Shelley Beach was in fact a Pit Stop.  For the purpose of this game that was indeed the first Pit Stop of the race.  The next Pit Stop, who knows.

That was it's intent.  We know that Jet & Cord are going to be last to check into the Pit Stop at Shelley Beach (and since its called a Pit Stop live during the race, multiple times then it absolutely a Pit Stop.

The question is basically a follow up to what type of penalty (if there is one at all) will Jet & Cord receive.  They could do a speedbump, they could have a time penalty, or hell their may be nothing.

And of course their is always the chance that they did something wrong, and have to go back out on the race, or that they followed a clue wrong and have to wait out a general time penalty.

On question 20 about the HDTV is there a "right" answer? Also I am confused as to the right and left sides of the Detour and how on earth we are supposed to predict that.
Prophet

The reason I didn't respond to this is that everyone beat me to it with the correct answers.

Anytime I ask a bonus question its just me wanting to get some general info from people, likes, dislikes that sort of thing.  And since I know Peach doesn't have HD, I was curious who else that applied to.

And the right side, left side, is just how the show displays which detour.  And yeah its basically a stab in the dark.  Since the detectives often figure out detour options and how many people do what task it makes it harder to pick questions that they have no idea of.  Basically leveling the playing field to those who don't live and breathe spoilers.

I probably wont use that same question again until the final four or three.  Instead might use which detour option is the left side or right side.

Amanda & Kris
Zev & Justin
Flight Time & Big Easy
Jaime & Cara
Margie & Luke
Ron & Christina
Mel & Mike
Kent & Vyxsin
Jet & Cord

Hmmm, i think there could be two answer? Since there are two flights so it may refer to two teams.. as long they're the first to reach the first team to reach their clue after their flight?

Well, since there's nowhere for me to go but up, I'm predicting improvement this week (fingers crossed).  I think I lucked out on the left/right questions.

A point of clarity: the first clue after the flights was the one on the cars, correct?  Or would it be when they actually got to a clue box?

Here are the questions for this week's episode.

1 (5 Points) - Are Jet & Cord awarded a Speed Bump for coming in last in the first leg?
No, no penalty of any sign was shown (really makes it look more like a TBC leg, but I already made that call)

2. (10 Points) - How many racers fall down while dressed as Kangaroo's?
1, Margie - Super women fell


3. (5 Points) - Is there a Roadblock this episode?
Yes, its the one we are seeing Jet & COrd perform during this episode.

4. (5 Points) - Does Mel receive MEdical Attention this episode?
No

5. (5 Points) - Amanda & Kris must perform a U-Turn at the first Detour they encounter. Will the U-Turn sign be labelled as an "Automatic U-Turn"?

8

There is no Detour in this episode

10, Ron & Christina still haven't finished their detour


8. (5 Points) - Do we see footage of E,S,M (Eat, Sleep and MIngle) during the wait after they sign up and when they actually leave Sydney?

No, we want drama, just random shots of teams getting flights, and trying to find sign up sheet.

9. (10 Points) - Which team is first to reach the first route marker for this leg of the race?
Kisha & Jen (kisha & Jen are awarded 1st by subtitles)

Mel & Mike (Mel & Mike are the first with RM that we see and these are the route markers on their cars.  I will except either.


10. (5 Points) - Are Gary & Mallory ever awarded 1st place on the new leg?
Yes, when they get their cab

11. (15 Points) - Which team is first to reach their next clue after their flight?
The first we see (Is almost Margie, but the shot ends before her hand touches it) with ROute Marker is Mel & MIke (from the first flight) but the subtitle shows Kisha & Jen (1st) So I will except either of those answers, and from the 2nd flight its Amanda & Kris either of those three answers will get you points.

12. (15 Points) - Which team from the 2nd flight (from this episode) is first to reach their next clue after they land?

Post by: Mug Costanza on February 28, 2011, 11:14:04 PM
Hey, mswood, I think you may have the Detour choices wrong. I think Spirit World (the mosaic/dancing one) was the left side and Natural World (the paint spitting one) was the right.

Great thats a nagging point right there.  Yes you are right, on the tv it was the left side.

Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on March 01, 2011, 02:33:15 AM
Since we knew Jet & Cord survived the first leg, I was wondering if that team received any form of penalty. 

I asked an earlier question concerning a possible speed bump task, this one was to see if perhaps they got a time penalty.

We knew with spoilers (and why its harder to come up with fair questions) that Jet & Cord were released for the start of leg #3 in third place.  But for all we knew they might have arrived in 2nd place got a marked for elimination penalty and had to wait to be checked in.

Well as it turns out they received no penalty at all.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: georgiapeach on March 01, 2011, 04:24:26 AM
Back to the "leg" discussion again.

There was NO roadblock in this "leg".

We just saw Jet/Cord waaaaaaaaay behind in doing the RB from the last leg.

But from the point they hit the MAT and moved on...there was no RB.

So we see footage of a RB...but it belongs to the first leg, not the second.

And y'all need to trust me on the "legs". (http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5097.gif)

And Yes, I am calling leg=episode for clarity, so back to semantics again. :lol:

TERMS (this will be updated tomorrow):

Bald Snark:  Named after the utterly adorable brother team of Ken & GErard who on occasion would start a detour then change their mind and perform the other one (sometimes more then once an episode).

Route Marker:  General Clue giving instructions (or hints) about getting from point A to Point B.

An Active Route Marker:  A general clue giving instructions (or hints) about getting from Point A to Point B, but one that also requires teams to perform a task before the receive their clue.

SOme of these have included drinking a large boot of beer, or in the first episode (or if you are the Cowboys the 2nd) sailing a boat out in the harbor to receive a clue.

good point I included that option in case we saw evidnce of a speedbump, like the sign or a clue, but never saw the task or heard them talk about it.

Kind of like in earlier seasons we have seen evidence of yields and fast forwards that weren't used or talked about.

But since I didn't clarify, I am going to count it.  Bonus pt for G-Man.

And best wishes on the Chemo, you take care of yourself.

My brain cells may be destroyed along with others, but who is "Speedy Gonzales"?  I don't see her listed as any of the contestents.  By the way the original Speedy Gonzales was a male and always ended up in the middle.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on March 03, 2011, 07:52:26 PM
Jaime of Jaime & Cara (for their car accident).  I was going to use some more modern Game reference (but then I thought half of the people here would go who?  I also thought of Evel Knievel, but figured the other half wouldn't know who that was.  So poor old Speedy (I should have saved him for a spanish leg when everyone uses his quotes not knowing what it means).

And I did adjust the score of the game on the game page, but I am too lazy to adjust it here.  2 players gained 5 pts, and I assume G-Man gained 6 (1 extra for the correction).

Post by: gingerman28 on March 06, 2011, 08:51:12 PM
Mswood:  How are you going to score questions 13, 16, and 21?  We never do see if Mel and Mike ACTUALLY complete the detour.  Do they go back after warming up in the van to find the frog? Or do they get driven to the pit stop without completing the mud bath.  Your call.

Post by: mswood on March 06, 2011, 10:19:28 PM
I didn't either....

But several teams that have been unable to finish a task (for whatever reason) have gone to the Pit Stop.  It goes back all the way to the first season.

Its funny I deliberately made this weeks a little easier then last week, and what happens I did terrible.....
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: DrRox on March 07, 2011, 10:20:03 AM
Though it really doesn't make much difference, since he was there a day earlier. But it looks like from his diary, that Phil went to the Detour first, then the roadblock. The Pit Stop is very close to the RB relatively speaking. GE says it is almost a 2 hour drive from the Detour to the Pit Stop mat in Perry Park. That probably explains why they had Mel/Mike drive to the mat. It saves time and then Phil can get to the airport to fly to Lijiang.

I did really bad this week. I was counting to Mel and Mike not to reach the mat and from there all went downhill.

I need to look at your actual wording...but I don't think M&M could have been checked in at the mat. They failed to complete the task, were taken by production to the mat where they were eliminated...but I am not yet convinced they were "checked in".

And you were right, mugs will now be getting three nagging points.  And if you would have caught the error first it would be yours, but Mugs beat you to it.

I meant to ask last week- When asking what comes first, we don't include the clue given to the teams to start the leg, do we?

Same question- We know they are departing the Pit Stop last, so would that count?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on March 10, 2011, 12:58:13 AM
Yeah I dont want you to count the clue when they depart, and I will change the wording on question 12 to reflect after they start the leg.

Thanks I didn't catch #12.

I had to go back and check last week.  Though i did mean after being released I didn't stipulate that.  Luckily for me a route marker was the next clue they got so, I don't have to go back and score it.

And I reworded question twelve, but my notes showed that i had planned to ask what's the highest position, not lowest.  But I am going to keep it at lowest and just added the qualifier that it occurs after departing the Pit Stop.

10.  5 Points -  Who does the roadblock?

Herb
Nate
I don't know which one is Flight Time and which one is Big Easy
There is no roadblock

mswood, how will this question be scored if one selects the third option. Would that be an automatic correct or automatic incorrect? I don't see how it could be anything else.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game

Think of that as the Bonus question for this week, the third option will be graded as correct.

The bigger one is Big Easy/Nate. Jamie and Cara are hard, Jamie is the meaner one  :lol:

Jet wears the black hat for the cowboys Cord has the white hat and red hair.

If you didn't know they always sit or stand the way their name is. For example Jamie would always be on the viewers left in pictures or confessionals etc. I just picked that up recently but it is a good way to remember who's who.

I think the third answer should not be counted as correct mswood, that would be unfair for people who actually picked the correct person. Just my 2 cents worth. If people want to pick the third option, they mind as well try their luck with either of the first 2 options?

It does make the question useless. However if you make the choice an automatic wrong then you might as well delete it. So either the question is useless or the choice is useless. Also, free points basically means the question is worth zero because everyone is the same.

I 100% agree with Joab. Unless we're shown promos showing who actually does it, then it's pretty much a blind guess which one of them completes the roadblock. It doesn't matter if you don't know who is who, it's just guessing.

If you allow that case, then the answer "Christie and Jodi" should be correct for Q14. Would we get the points for guessing that? I think that just defeats the purpose of the question and isn't fair to those who actually guessed the right answer.

My questions unless specifically included in the question (like the question on Peach's score) should always have an answer thats provided by the episodes themselves.

Herb and Nate are not referred to by name so far this season, thus why I included the 3 option.  As I don't require fans to know materials that are from outside sources unless specifically addressed in the body of the question itself.

Now Jet & Cord or Jaime & Cara are of course referred to in the episodes and credits, so people have the opportunity in the episode to know who is who.

It is basically designed as the Bonus question this week.

Thank You.  THey have been added as options to the game. 

And you raise a good point, should corrections necessary to the game (not just common spelling errors) should get a bonus.  I have never done that before.  I already in the first episode had someone had an option (and it ended up being the correct option).

So lets here from the peanut gallery.

I'm sorry Prophet, i'm definitely sure mswood (and many others) would be more than happy enough if you choose not to answer the free points question because they're definitely not worth zero if you don't pick an answer. :)

No, it is our pleasure to assist you to get the game options right as it helps both you and all other players BEFORE A ROUND IS SCORED. Nagging points should only be awarded for other cases such as miscalculation of points or you overlooking the answer to a particular question.

Not a problem.

Between web clues and pre pictures we know racers have to saddle a Yak (meaning put a blanket or saddle on the Yak (whatever it is), then we see a racer sitting on top the saddle.  Ie mounting the Yak.

So the question is does the same racer (lets use a cowboy), Cord both saddle the Yak and ride it.  Or is it a task where Jet saddles it and Cord rides it.

There is a third possibility: Both racers have to do something with the saddling but only one rides it. Or even they both ride a yak, but it is not shown in the promo.

So I thought that "No" covers all these possibilities.

Now the question is what to do with any question regarding the detour.   Should I only account for the teams that have reached the detour (notice the questions say nothing about this episode or the leg), what do with the racers who's we are showed completing the detour, arrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy I killed myself with the questions this week.  And I new it was a TBC.

OK, since teams must travel to their detour choice, I go on when we see teams performing the task.  Meaning Margie & Luke, Gary & Mallory, Jet & Cord, Ron & Christina, Kisha & Jen, Jaime & Cara (start and then switch), Flight Time & Big Easy, Zev & Justin.

Jet & Cord, Kisha & Jen and possibly Flight Time & Big Easy (the best they could have done) improve 1 spot.  So more then one team.

22 (okay enough already). 5 Points - If so, does Philly Style mention any form of penalty for the last team to arrive?
0 points - 9 people answered this question - No, it isn't mentioned and it is a non elimination leg of some sort  And could thing it wasn't stating "Does Philly Style mention any for of penalty to the last team to arrive, though technically that would be Jaime and Cara...)

I changed my mind.  I am picking this one (like the question above it, its possible that by next week, I might have to rescore the game.

23 (dear god make it stop)! 5 Points - Is the greeter on Phil's right side?

Yes because the viewer of this season would have had no way of knowing who Nate or Herb is without going to materials outside of the episodes.  I have stated for the last several seasons that general answers unless specifically mentioned in the question would be from the episodes.  I cant find a single reference this season to who Nate and Herb are.

You just have to look in this thread

And to be honest I honestly don't know which is Herb and which is Nate?

It goes like this:
Flight Time\Big Easy
Herb          \Nate

But that isn't from the episode.  Nor does it show proof.  Like a reference.  I do believe its accurate, but that's just taking the posting of a member.  I had to go to press materials to verify that.  Just as I used Kynt in typing for the questions until we saw int he episodes that the producers did indeed go with Kent.  

Just like I don't take answers from the Mat Chats, of from sources that point out legitimate errors from the broadcast.

Even in this episode we clearly see Luke getting to the cluebox first to get the Roadblock clue, but since the episode doesn't show that, I have to score Gary & Mallory who are shown with the clue next, even though its very likely by the running footage that they weren't even second.

Another valid point to bring out, you can't open your clue until your team mate is with you. Luke is the first person to the cluebox, but maybe he can't get the clue because Margie's not there yet. The next scene we see is Gary and Mallory claiming the clue as a full team.

I'm going to get as many nagging points as i can this episode. :lol3: :neener:

I would dearly love to take that answer (as its the one I picked and would also give me points on is this team the first to complete the RB, I would really love 20 more points).  But again through the history of the game have gone with what we are shown, even if that isn't what I honestly believe the answer is.

I will go through some older cycles and see if I ever do take that choice even if it isn't shown.

I picked Margie and Luke too, but i think we have to be fair as the answer is clearly Gary and Mallory as a full team and WITH A CLUE (Luke doesn't have the clue)... as i've explained. Either way if mswood change the answer to Margie and Luke, then i'll gain 10 more points.

In fairness to Coutzy, I don't think even that is right.  As full teams appear to have a lead over both Gary and Mallory.  I think its just poor editing (notice we get very little in subtitles actually stating team order this week).  But when we see teams make the choice on who is doing the RB, I think that is actually the order.  But I can't take it accept for the order of starting the RB as deciding who is the first step in starting the RB.

And we have had the argument (I think most recently in season 15, but it also happened in season 14) that on these questions I just care for who has control over the clue.  Be it one racer or both.  It came up ion the finale leg in Vegas for 15 with Sam gaining control over the clue even though Meghan and Cheyne were clearly closer to the clue.  And with Luke and Jen I believe.

Hmmm, i'm not very sure about how you've seen it in past incidences like this. But Luke sure didn't have a clue in his hand when the shot of him was shown. Is that a better argument? I mean, he may not be able to retrieve a clue until Margie arrives?

Phil and the greeter actually just turned around for the second image.  Notice the pagoda is now in the back and the satellite dishes are facing away.  And they are still standing at the back of the mat, just facing the other way.

If you look very closely in the picture where the greeter is on Phil's left, you'll notice the mat is upside down.

You would have to imagine that it would be the one that occured when they were standing facing the right way.

Teams always come into Phil with Antarctica at the end furthest from Phil, also the little TV thing with the current location on it is always behind him. In the shot with the greeter on Phil's left, the TV appears in front of Phil from that angle.

All this points to the greeter being on Phil's right hand side.

I know, but they turned around and that is why the greeter is on Phil's other side as with what's shown in the shot?! It's a matter of perspective.. so let's see what mswood do with this! I'm fine with anything, just love to give mswood a run for her money (questions)! :neener:

The correct answer should be Phil's right side.

The "costumed person beside Phil" is only a "greeter" when they are actively greeting the teams. At other times, as when they are doing standups etc with Phil they are "posers" or "ancillary costumed talent".  B:)

I agree with WP.  Semantically, that person is only a greeter while greeting, and in that case is always shown on Phil's right side (In this episode.  Thanks, Joab, for pointing that out).

Actually, for the first two episodes this season (in fact last leg too?) i think, the greeter has been on Phil's left side.

They probably decide which side of Phil the greeter stands, by the particular background they want in the angle shot. In Sydney, it was the long stretch of beach, in Broken Hill it was the mine apparatus.

But that isn't from the episode.  Nor does it show proof.  Like a reference.  I do believe its accurate, but that's just taking the posting of a member.  I had to go to press materials to verify that.  Just as I used Kynt in typing for the questions until we saw int he episodes that the producers did indeed go with Kent.  

Just like I don't take answers from the Mat Chats, of from sources that point out legitimate errors from the broadcast.

Even in this episode we clearly see Luke getting to the cluebox first to get the Roadblock clue, but since the episode doesn't show that, I have to score Gary & Mallory who are shown with the clue next, even though its very likely by the running footage that they weren't even second.

But before we see Gary and Mallory reading the roadblock clue, we see both the Cowboys and Globetrotters actually opening the clue.  We must assume that once they open the clue they read it.  So if we don't  actually see Luke and Margie opening the clue, can't we assume that the Cowboys and Globetrotters get the road block clue before Gary and Mallory.  I don't think it is clear who gets it first; Luke and Margie, Jet and Cord, Flight Time and Big Easeyh or Gary and Mallory so I would think we can't give points to anyone, or 15 points to each of the four. And besides no on-screen positions for any team are given at this time.

Doing the U-Turn side of a detour wouldn't be the team's choice (well unless they are stupid).  So that wouldn't count.  But if thats the side they do before getting U-Turn then it does count.

And even if a team starts one and then changes their mind that would also count as that is their choice.

There are four detours in this episode.  Two from the last leg that zev and Justin and Kent and vyxsin need to complete and the two options for the new leg.  The question is for the new detour options for this leg.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Jobby on March 18, 2011, 11:57:32 AM
The Detour of this leg. Meaning Kent and Vyxsin and Zev and Justin's "uncompleted" Detour from last leg is not counted.

Not that it matters anyway. Unless somebody wants to challenge mswood and say that Zev and Justin OR Kent and Vyxsin are the first team to complete the Detour from last leg.. you know how ________ (insert appropriate word here) some people can be.

No

I need to correct my wording.

Make your pick for how many teams you think will do that detour option and PLEASE also pick the bonus five points, the final option.

Nope, but when the game is scored I will be able to see which players picked more then the two allowed options.

Those players scores will be removed for that question.

First team to get to the physical U-Turn sign.  Sorry I thought I had answered it.  Not the first team to read the clue (So to avoid last week's issue).  And on this just for clarity.  Basically the first racer who reaches it counts as the whole team. (to use last week's Roadblock, that was clearly Luke, even though we don't know when Margie got to him).

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.

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.

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 - 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.

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

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 - 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

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.

Post by: mswood on March 20, 2011, 11:31:30 PM
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.

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.

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?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: MamaT on March 21, 2011, 09:58:09 PM
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?

Post by: kiki on March 22, 2011, 03:31:34 PM
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.

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

Post by: mswood on March 27, 2011, 02:45:30 PM
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 :umn: 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.

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.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on March 28, 2011, 11:32:53 PM
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).

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.

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?

Not apropos of the quiz, but in that ^ picture, Flight Time is on the right.  It looks like he's approaching the clue box.  So the question is, was there another staircase on that side, or did he overshoot the clue box and is coming back?

The shot def looks like K/J got there first, but without a currently in first place logo there is no way to say that R/C or even the Goths couldn't have gotten there first...right?

I think the vid more or less shows a whole group entering the hall together.

I can't even remember what I put, :lol:

So who is on first?
On who starts the roadblock first (and damn this goes back to the awesome season 17, the best indicator (when no subtitles by production) is footage of racers who have decided to do the task.  The episodes shows those racers (at least the first five) entire into the hall that they must grab the fruit and then drink an obscene amount of tea.  That view ends before Ron, Flight Time, or Zev enter.  But thinks to the completion order we know that Ron & Christina gained the most (no matter if they were the sixth to start or the last).

As for Kisha & Jen, the reason I didn't give the points to Margie & Luke the other day is because we never saw him with a clue (even though we all agree that he would have been first).  With the new HD and a big screen you can see them with a clue.  Now if I only had picked that option.  I did pick Ron and Christina for the Roadblock based solely off of the stereo type that someone with asian heritage would better know teas.

While its possible that a team (not shown in that first shot), was the first there but since Kent & Vyxsin, Ron & Christina and Gary & Mallory all get passed by the teams we do see (on the last outdoor shot before teams enter) its very doubtful. 

But with the footage given the best answer on this is Kisha & Jen.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: gingerman28 on March 30, 2011, 09:28:02 PM
But in past games, you have awarded first to the team shown reading the clue before Phil enters to explain what the clue means.  I agree we do see what seems to be Kisha and Jen obviously with the clue before a bunch of the others, but the Goths and Ron and Christina are not shown so they could very well have gotten the clue before the sisters.  I think you have to be consistent and say it can't be determined who was first or give it to the Glovetrotters since they are the team seen first to read the roadblock clue.

During season 17, it was decided that we couldn't make assumptions (It came up after the circus HoO, IIRC) without physically seeing a team take the clue out of the box, or being given a subtitle.

G-Man

I award points based on the criteria below (and in the order of relevance):

1.  Subtitles by the Producers (the only time I have overridden this, that I can recall is when we got duplicate subtitles on one specific task).

2.  Visual evidence

Like the leg in China, where I awarded points to Gary & Mallory as the first team shown with a clue (even though I thought Luke & Margie absolutely should have been the first team) the first team shown with a clue was Gary & Mallory.  And like this leg no subtitles where given. 

Based on the 1st criteria not being there the 2nd wins out and thats Kisha & Jen.

Damn it.  I miss Clutch....

On season 17, it was a detour task where we had very incomplete information. 

This was the question:

10 Points – Which team is next to last to start the “circus” task?

I had decided (and this was also going back to earlier seasons, that simply getting the clue doesn't count as starting a task, so that through off the option that we had the most info on.

I have stated several criteria that can be used to start a choice based task (Detour, Roadblock) one being making the choice (which side or which racer), do getting to the areas where you would don protective or costume gear.

On the leg in season 17, noses (which were needed for both task) where put on both, after some teams choose (like Jill & Thomas) which task they were doing and while some teams were deciding which tasks today (like Gary & Mallory).  I have also used when teams enter the specific arenas for their tasks.  On none of those three criteria's were enough information given to answer the specific question of which team was last to start (and in fact the criteria would give you different answers for each).  Thats why I went with awarded free points for everyone.

Now I did make an error on this part as for some reason I thought they got their fruit inside the hall, they don't they had multiple tables out of the hall that they could get fruit from.  Of which we see Kisha (then hear Mallory saying thinks), but see Zev get one next, and then see Mallory with her's.  We see no other fruit grabbing (though we see Flight Time, Luke, and Kent about to get fruit).  I had used them entering with their fruit (which enough data points are there to score).  But with just those three It's is possible for either Ron & Christina or Jet & Cord to have gained the most positions.

I really, don't like given more free points (especially on a question I got right, damn it).  But someone getting a nagging point over this one.

And it's G-Man who first points out that the start of the Roadblock is the fruit grabbing.  So the bonus goes to him.

NOTE:  I still have yet to see the clips that CBS released early that viewers in the US could watch.  So several questions that have been scored are going to be changed to free points for everyone, so keep that in mind.

NOTE:  As you might have noticed I didn't post the Overall leader board points for week 5.

Well I just happen to notice (well I should since I did it on purpose) this minor scoring error.

17. 5 FREE POINTS - We get Fake Eat, Sleep, Mingle (not a Pit Stop) footage of the teams playing Basketball, it's..?
5 points - 19 people answered this question - ABOUT GOD DAMNED TIME
-50 points - 2 people answered this question - A Waste of time away from the RACE!
5 points - 3 people answered this question - Neither here or there
5 points - 4 people answered this question - Can't judge the footage hasn't aired yet

I already warned Zvarri that I was messing with their score to harass that damn Joab.  But the little ****  (Joab just to clarify) didn't even notice.   (:;)

Oh, and I can't believe the game wouldn't let me make it -1,000,000 because I did try.

The score is now reset to its correct totals and tomorrow I will release an accurate score for week 5 and the overall up through week 5.

Thank you Zvarri for not cyber killing me. :waves:

No wonder i had the third least points! I didn't think too much into it as i thought i just plainly SUCK that leg.

And i also didn't want to give you any trouble with changing the scores as i trusted you to be correct in your scoring of points. As a host, i know how sucky it is to do the scoring all over again for the game.

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.

Clutch is correct that's one point!

Yeah, I should have included none as an option, but as I was criminally late this week I didn't want to correct it.

And there was a clip released before I did the questions that does show two racers working together.  And there was enough posting on the boards so that even those outside the US could be aware of it.

Yeah, I usually vote with my emotions too. I originally voted that Rontina would stay in the race, but I decided to vote logically rather than emotionally in the end. It wasn't looking so good for them in the previews.

0 points - 19 people answered this question - Roadblock

It's how many teams decide to perform that Detour?  Don't have to complete it, and don't even have to start it.  Just have to decide as a team that they are doing that one.

What IS the left right thing again??
When Phil discribes the two Detours, one is shown as the left side, one is shown as the right side (its displayed, not spoken).  So basically you are guessing on which detour option is the left or right side and how many teams choose to do it.

For example we are assuming that eating is one of the detour options, we have an idea of how many teams choose that task, but we don't know if that's the left side or the right side of the detour.

6. MULTIPLE ANSWERS ALLOWED - 5 Points per correct answer, -10 per incorrect answer (be careful): Which racers are able to finish their meal within the allotted time?

How will this be scored if I pick a racer who does not even choose this detour? Would that still be -5 points?

Do you mean if they are able to finish the meal on their first try within the time or can it be multiple times until they get it done in time?

Yes that would be incorrect answer, it must be a racer who does finish their meal in the time allotted on the first attempt.

Remember you aren't forced to make multiple guesses, hell you don't have to make a selection even, if you are confident on any one racers, then make that pick.  If you want to risk a lot in hopes of getting some extra points, then pick away, but remember it could also cost you a lot of points if you are wrong.

I had to skip multiple questions...it may be the end of me.:lol:

I still do NOT get the right/left detour thing. There was not a split screen or anything...nothing that I could see was shown right/left. The Detoiurs were described consectitively, one after the other. So I would have understood a first/second type of question, but still do not understand a right/left thing.

Can somebody please show me a pretty screencap of what this means??

Because if there IS no right/left then this question shouldn't hurt or help us.

Results for this episode...
And only two players scored over a hundred points, and one of them, one of them SLAUGHTERED us.  It was an great great job.
Coming out of their COMA........
1.   walkingpneumonia  HOLY HELL (did we piss you off?)
175
Confession... :-[
I was completely spoiled for this episode (and probably the rest of the season) - whats surprising is that I didn't get a perfect score.

So, I gracefully and regretfully withdraw myself from competition.

not if it's just going from point a to b.  But if it's something like sailing task in the first episode that would be an active route marker.

Okay guys, I have reached the point of no return.

I sadfully (joyfully!) am too spoiled to play fairly any longer.

But darn it, I love this game and want to play the parts I can.

So I will be making picks (at least for now). But ONLY those that have been spoiled here by RFF and those that remain guesswork. I will be PASSING on any outcome questions .

I would like to see how I do on the guessy ones (I SUCK at speculation! :funny: ) but have asked mswood to NOT count my score anymore in the standings.

I will be rooting for the rest of you!!  :hearts:

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?

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

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

0 points - 10 people answered this question - 6

22. 5 Points - Does Gary & Mallory stay alive to race another day?

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.

Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Jobby on April 27, 2011, 10:22:35 PM
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.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: georgiapeach on April 27, 2011, 10:26:04 PM
Exactly. We saw the RB clue before the SB clue.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: mswood on April 27, 2011, 10:55:50 PM
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.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Jobby on April 28, 2011, 01:55:55 AM
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.

3. 10 Points - How much time separates Zev & Justin departure and Flight Time & Big Easy
Less then 30 minutes
30 - 59 minutes
60 - 74 minutes
75 - 90 minutes
91 or more minutes

Shouldnt "We're not shown departure times" be an option?

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

Quote
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?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 18 Pick-em Game
Post by: Jobby on May 01, 2011, 01:31:23 PM
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.

Post by: mswood on May 04, 2011, 11:32:41 PM
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.
I did a bit of research even if we see teams doing the next task I have always scored by how the course was laid out, do it's the speed bump.

And I am out of town all this week, so everything is getting posted from my phone.  So things will be brief and between my spelling and grammar and apple's auto correct God only knows how these posts or the game will look so please, please ask for clarification or state where you think I screwed up!

First question.  Basically is CBS going to air these two episodes as normal length episodes.  Or have they edited these where the break between the legs doesn't occur at 9pm.

second question:

Do we hear the Globetrotters musical theme.

1. 15 Points - Which racer says, "This is where it ends.
15 points - 1 people answered this question - Justin

Now that I have finally watched those episodes, can I just say what a bunch of crappy, crappy tasks.  THe only task I liked was the 7 mile ride.  Thats it.  Yuck.  A fairly close race for two teams (so at least some drama this episode compared to last year), but what a really, really poor leg.  Very pleased to see Kisha & Jen win though.

And it sucks its these episodes I didn't get to see in High Def.....
