As promised this is the link everyone needs to play in this game.
If you have registered before there's no reason to register again.
If you have not registered ..
please remember your forum name and password will not work for the game unless you choose to do so.
Well I am told its that special time of the year when my man crush for Phil gets 11 (maybe 12) episodes to express itself. It also means its time for the RFF Pick'em Game.
The game isn't up yet (hopefully tomorrow, site willing) but here is a friendly reminder that it will be starting this week.
Tomorrow at the very least the first week's questions (and thank you God that it's just one damn episode!) will be posted. Unlike last year, I am going back to a standard 200 point week. Each week 200 glorious points (of which I will be lucky to get half) will be up for grabs. Once the site is ready, A link will be added so that players can register (if they haven't already or if they want to change their name so I don't hate on them all season).
Some general notes.
1. No question (except for the week of the final which will be 400 points) will be over 15 points.
2. Canadians under 21 years of age, suck. Its a known fact.
3. All players can challenge any question, in fact I encourage it. But when I say I have made a final decision it is final.
4. Georgia is the worst state in the union, in fact they should secede!
5. If you have any question concerning a question you can PM me, where you will get a private answer, or you can ask in this thread where you answer will be public.
6. And because I never make mistakes (Ok shut it!!), for the first time ever I will give out 1 point for anytime I give an incorrect answer (a certain player will probably win just from this). This will be totaled each week and added to the final total. And of course, I am the only player who will get no benefit from this.
7. Hooky must die. It will be sudden yet brutal! Mark my words.
8. I will also include at least one 5 point question each week that is free points just to see what we think of the teams, the stunts, the episodes, and the racers.
9. All answers will be decided by the aired footage in the episode, not the clips (as much as I love them), unless (see their is always an exception) the question concerns something that is normally part of the clips (for example last year it was about the elimination station).
10. It was the Peach, not the apple that was the ruin of man!

Here is the link to last season's game. Again, mswood will post the user info for THIS season soon.

I try (which usually lasts for about 5 weeks) to get the next week's questions in late Tuesday night.
On Monday (after the race) I will list what I believe is the correct answer, then feel free to jump on me like a pack of ravenous wolves to correct any mistakes I make (like that will happen, ok it will happen a lot). After this review process I will then score the game, remember it is still possible for me too enter a wrong answer in the game (So catching those errors will also get you 1 bonus point per error), and post a weekly game total (to see how we all scored during that week, then (well except for this first week), the overall leader board results for all the weeks that have occurred.

For example in season 6, next to last episode. Hayden gave up on a roadblock (when she gave up is when she broke the rule), but she wasn't given the penalty until they arrived at the Pit Stop.

I did decently, I think. But the last team at the Pit Stop surely lowered my score. And only one person (not me) got this question right: "Is that team eliminated?" :lol:
That would be me :jam:

0 points - 11 people answered this question - 2
OK, we have Fly Away Bus and the Metro (so Bus and Tram/subway whatever), but the people who took Metro also had to take another Bus. If its just a Bus then the answer is 2, if it's an airport shuttle then its three (after all I said that would count when I was asked). Anyone know????
15 points - What team is the first shown getting into transportation to LAX”?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Steve & Allie
We see Steve & Allie ahead of Joe & Heidi, we see Allie enter first, the next shows all four in (with Joe & Heidi in further then Steve), but it looks like Steve isn't moving and is just holding the door. So I am sticking with Steve & Allie.
15 points - And what is the last team we see getting into transportation to LAX?

Daniel & Jordan are the last we see getting into transportation to LAX (though they clearly were not the last to do so).

Both told at the Pit Stop (even though Daniel & Jordan were sure they were getting one much sooner)
10 points - How long is the Penalty?

0 points - 3 people answered this question - Another Amount of time

Brent & Caite are in 1st when they break it.
Daniel & Jordan are in 3rd (based on their position when picking up the paint and that when they lose a brush only two teams had reached the houses and started painting).

Who recognized Jordan and Jeff? By recognize do you mean that someone actually said "hey, that's the babe from Big Brother?" I never heard anyone say that. One of the brothers did recognize Caite as being Miss Teen from somewhere.
There are three musicians at the pit stop matt, but only one man actually "greets" the team. So the correct answer to who is the "greeter" should be "male"
Post by: Coutzy on February 16, 2010, 12:44:09 PM
The teams riding the metro to LAX must take a bus from the last station to the airport. We see one team leaving by the front door but besides being a bus, it is almost impossible to determine whether or not it is a special metro to LAX shuttle bus. It certainly does not look like the parking lot shuttle buses. So I would have to say that it is merely a bus. So two would be the correct answer.

I distinctly remember one of the brothers Pious mentioning "Team Big Brother" I think it was the same one that knew Caitlen.
Whether they knew them as JeJo or just as generic people that were on Big Brother may be another story.

The airport shuttles from the green line are buses. I think its only two forms of transport used, a bus and a subway. A bus is a bus is a bus...

I don't know how nitpicky people are but it shows Allie getting on the train first, then Joe/Heidi and then it appears Steve, so are Joe/Heidi the first team? :duno: I have no dog is this fight I got it wrong, regardless :'(
It was Brent who pointed out J/J were on BB, he also mentions, that Jordan won.
And, since I need all the help I can get, I agree with Gingerman on the greeter question :tup: Now off to add up what is no doubt a pitiful, pitiful score :groan: :groan:
Post by: walkingpneumonia on February 16, 2010, 04:06:19 PM
Not to belabor the point, regardless of where a bus starts from or its function, its still called a bus.

A bus is a bus is a bus. A parking lot shuttle bus is a bus. A FlyAway bus is a bus. A school bus is a bus. A double-decker bus is a bus. A red bus is a bus, a blue bus is a bus, a green bus is a bus. :colors
Not to belabor the point, regardless of where a bus starts from or its function, its still called a bus.
Did I mention I need the points?
We can never assume what might be, we can only go by what is actually shown on the program. We see people getting on the metro train, we see people getting on the bus to the airport. But we only see people leaving some kind of vehicle at the airport. We see Brent and Caite leaving the front door of what appears to be a bus and we see Dan and Jordan leaving from the middle door of what appears to be a bus, but we never see the vehicle in its entirety so we don't know if indeed it is a bus and if it is a bus, what kind of bus it is. If it is a parking lot shuttle bus it is never shown that that is what it is. So we can only actually positively identify two types of public transporation used: the metro and the bus.
I looked at the tape again, and I can not identify anyone indentifying Jordan and Jeff as having appeared on the show known as Big Brother House. The only ones I can find saying that is Jordan herself. Brent talks about lovin' that Miss South Carolina Teen, but not about Jordan and Jeff as far as I can hear during the actual broadcast. If someone has better ears, please identify where and when Brent or anyone else talks about JeJo.
A greeter is a person who actually greets another person. Playing backup music is not "greeting" someone. So the the one who welcomes the teams to Valparaiso, Chile is a man (who happens to play music also) The other two musicians never greet the teams.

I looked at the tape again, and I can not identify anyone indentifying Jordan and Jeff as having appeared on the show known as Big Brother House. The only ones I can find saying that is Jordan herself. Brent talks about lovin' that Miss South Carolina Teen, but not about Jordan and Jeff as far as I can hear during the actual broadcast. If someone has better ears, please identify where and when Brent or anyone else talks about JeJo.
Yes someone did talk about them being on Big Brother. It was Brent on the Bus riding to Lax . He says does anyone know that Jeff and Jordan are Team Big Brother and Jordan was the winner of the show last season. Monique and Shawne say they are the JJ's ,but that might be different.
Jordan did talk about being the winner of Big Brother. She said she was the winner in the opening credits.

Is there anywhere we can look at the answers we gave? Is it saved on are profile page? I know I got some questions right and others I am unsure of. TIA
If you log in to the game, and click the link for this week, your answers will be highlighted. I believe once mswood locks in the scores, you will see that as well.
G-Man, at about 10:35 on the full episode video, Brent mentions "Team Big Brother" and says, "She won Big Brother." It's shortly after the TAR intro sequence.

Yup, one team said that "look it's team big brother..." or something like that.
It was Brent and chill_sd gave the time when he says it .

One more question about this I promise. Does the leader board mean anything right now? I looked at it and then my score and it has me confused? TIA
Everyone still has 0 points until mswood locks in the answers/scores. He usually posts the results in this thread also, along with next week's questions.

10 points - How many forms of transportation do we see teams use going from the starting line to LAX? (example, Buses, Trains, taxi’s, subways, ect)
0 points - 11 people answered this question - 2
OK, we have Fly Away Bus and the Metro (so Bus and Tram/subway whatever), but the people who took Metro also had to take another Bus. If its just a Bus then the answer is 2, if it's an airport shuttle then its three (after all I said that would count when I was asked). Anyone know????
If you said that the shuttle would count, then I'd say stick to your word and call it 3.
5 Points - When we go to opening credits, Who is the last racer we hear speaking?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - A Man
I was confused by this question. What are the opening credits? The actual opening credits do not have anyone speaking, so I wasn't sure what you were referring to. If it is the introduction to the teams, then the last team we hear speaking was Carol & Brandy, hence the answer is a woman.
A greeter is a person who actually greets another person. Playing backup music is not "greeting" someone. So the the one who welcomes the teams to Valparaiso, Chile is a man (who happens to play music also) The other two musicians never greet the teams.
I agree. Remember Leg 8 last season? We had lots of confusion over whether the singing (I think) people on the way to the Pit Stop were actually greeters or not, and we decided it was actually the man. I think we should decide the same way we did it last time.

Not to keep beating on the old dog, but if the teams take the metro and have to then take another bus to the airport terminal, we must remember that the question is "How many forms of transportation do we SEE teams use going from the starting line TO the airport LAX?" LAX is airline jargon for Los Angeles International Airport. A parking lot is part of the airport. Therefore even if the teams take a parking lot shuttle bus to the airport TERMINAL, they have already ARRIVED at the AIRPORT before they boarded the bus being used as a shuttle TO GO TO THE TERMINAL.
Good point. I change my mind; this is what we should go with.
Post by: mswood on February 16, 2010, 11:15:19 PM
Before the leg started someone asked,
"For this, do you mean any form of transportation out of the starting line, or LAX-owned shuttles which they always tend to get on)?"
I answered ," Often the shuttles used are not from LAX, but near LAX. SO yes if they make an appearance I will count them."
Now this shuttles that are used by teams to get into LAX, are shuttles not full sized buses.
As someone who has gone town to LAX to track the shows, I had visited 5 different shuttles (before finding the one that TAR has always used in LA).
I am leaning to not taking the 2nd bus as an "airport shuttle" that meets the criteria asked about. I still haven't researched it though.

Meaning who is the last person speaking before the opening credits begin (if you are confused about a question you can always ask for clarification before the episode begins).
The last bit of dialogue before the opening credits is, "Chili here we come." It is spoken as the camera pulls up from the highway away from the bus. And it is a man's voice.
Next
I don't know how nitpicky people are but it shows Allie getting on the train first, then Joe/Heidi and then it appears Steve, so are Joe/Heidi the first team?
I watched the footage, and yes we clearly see Allie enter, but we don't technically see the other three enter (meaning go from outside to inside), all three are inside. Steve is standing still by the door, and we see the other two moving further inward. Since the only person we see enter is Allie, we can't accurately judge the other three racers. So on this I am sticking with Steve and Allie.
G-Man
On the issue of the greeter (I might have to check how I scored this type of question last cycle), you can greet someone in forms other then speech. Things from handshakes, to music, to presenting flowers can all be forms of greeting.
So if last year, I counted multiple persons at the mat, (even if only one spoke) as the greeter then I will count it. But if I didn't then I will restrict it to the person speaking. This might take a bit (I do recall in season 12 the episode that was the first one that Ron & Christina won, we had issues over if the guard up to the mat counted but I don't want to go that far back). So I will double check last seasons game and look (someone mentioned episode 8 so I will head over to that first. And of course I picked a women (so no help for me).
New questions will be up tomorrow, hopefully this will be graded by then as well.

I already stated (before the leg) that if it was a shuttle like those used in other seasons I would count that as separate. It just doesn't look like any of the shuttles I saw teams use before in LA. I check that actual bus info on it.

I just checked the TAR 15 game thread, and everyone came to the conclusion that the greeter was an adolescent male. But I'm not sure if you counted both A) a man and B) multiple people as correct answers, or if you just counted A) a man as correct, since we don't have the actual game scores available for us to check. :duno:
The difference between that (TAR 15 Leg eight) greeter and this greeter is that the musicians were on the mat instead of on the pathway to the mat. I'm not sure if that difference should be considered significant or if we should just arbitrarily pick one and score the dang thing already. :lol:
Post by: mswood on February 17, 2010, 09:10:36 PM
But I did remember in season 14's first episode, I graded the greeter question as multiple people. If someone could check that episode to see if more then one person actually spoke, then we will have our answer.

Well... I found the video on youtube... and nobody said welcome...Thank you, I forgot about youtube. And after watching that footage, and bad on how I scored it then (and that no one complained about it, even with several corrections based on input over other issues for that leg) the correct answer will be multiple people.
And for future reference, any time multiple persons are on the mat or extremely close (arm length) they will count. If they are like an honor guard leading up to the mat (for example the band playing as season 9's teams went to the mat in episode 5 or 6, when Dave & Lori got the boot or the example in season 12 with Ron & Christina will not count).
And can I just say that season 14 episode is one Great opener for a season. It very well might be my all time favorite.
kwando1313 Thank you for finding it.

When asked I said that if teams used shuttles like in previous seasons, I would count them. This bus does not match the type of rental car shuttle's used at any time in previous seasons at LAX.

Just to clarify on the transportation, no walking, running, swimming, jumping, hopping, ect. In other words you need something besides what we typically call clothing to do it.
A Bicycle, motorcycle, glider, strapping on wings, planes, trains, rickshaws, pogo sticks (or stilits), sleding, sking, ect all would count.
I am hoping that MSWood would not consider the fact that three teams put on Condor costumes and then jumped off the end of a pier into the water as a form of transportation. It would be like someone jumping off the pier sitting on a the back of a rubber ducky. Would the rubber ducky be a form of transportation? I counted four types of transportation: taxi, bus, automobile, and boat. But you could consider that there were only three types of transportation: automobile, bus, and boat. Automobile is a form of transportation; whether you drive it yourself or someone else drives it, it is still an automobile. Sort of like a bus, is a bus, is a bus.
I counted five different people being kicked by either a cow or a llama.
Cort and Jet,s domination of the Detour and the Roadblock and then ending up in first position sort of threw my answer completely off the page. Pretty sneaky of them to get Brent and Caite and Jeff and Jordan to switch bus terminals and buses (6:30pm departure) and then sneak back and take the bus that the other teams were planning to take at 7:00pm

On the issue of transport, I actually consider cabs and teams driving themselves as separate (its how I have always scored that question, I went back to check). As a pay for hire form of private transport, as opposed to buses which are a paid for hire public transport.

There is no airport

I never heard Carol or Brandy make fun of Catie. I thought they just said they underestimated Jeff and Jordan?
No, they did talk about the Iraq at one point (after the roadblock, I think?).

Well I picked Cord & Jet and Jody & Shannon when I should have (I mean seriously I had to pick the cowboys for all tasks with animals). All other questions, not so good.
That's a good thing to do! Maybe from now on I will remember to do that instead of assuming it couldn't be that easy. :lol:

I believe the blonde, Carol, said something like she would consider it a moral victory IF they were to beat Brent and Caite. When the brunette, Brandy, asks, "Brent and Caite?" Carol gives her a brief impression of Caite, the same impression Jordan gave them at the airport in episode 1. Other than calling them the beauty queen and her boyfriend, how else should these teams explain who Caite is. Lets not forget she is on the show, younger than the usual age, because she is who she is. I am so tired of all the hating on Carol and Brandy, in fact most people only refer to them as "the lesbians", not by their names. How is that any worse than impersonating Caite to clarify who she is? Carol and Brandy already have 2 huge things against them, they're older than most of the other teams and they are a f/f team. If they are able to hang on against the younger, stronger, faster teams, I'll be quite impressed! Its a shame that being intelligent, strong, well spoken women gets no respect, while being young, dumb and blonde wins the TAR popularity contest. (:;)

Personally, I lost all respect for them for making fun of other teams. That's just plain rude. I mean, you don't judge people on one thing.Yeah teams never do this. Oh wait they do it all the time, especially towards the beginning when they don't know each other. It can be meant both light hearted or it could be mean spirited.
Personally I get more bothered when you can clearly tell its mean spirited, and later in the race when teams have started to actually know each other.

0 points - 12 people answered this question - Yes Argue (away)
5 Points - Are all teams departure times (from the Pit Stop) shown this week?
0 points - 15 people answered this question - Yes, And I thought at first that Brent & Caite might screw this up, but not only do they confirm by subtitles their specific departure time but time getting to ER, and new time actually departing Pit Stop.
And my god, Louie and Michael did absolutely awful, awful last leg.
5 Points - Does any racer (besides Cord & Jet) comment about how easy (or words to that effect) this week’s tasks should be for the Cowboys?
No - While We do Hear Carol & Brandy talk alot about the Cowboys the only who actually states about how its easy for them is Jet & Cord (of course they are talking about what they heard Carol & BRandy say, but we don't hear it).
5 points - Do all teams get a gnome?
0 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes, in fact during the full episode you see the gnome with each team at some point after going to the Roadblock.
10 points - Which team is first to get the Roadblock clue?
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Joe & Heidi, seconds before Carol & Brandy. While we see Carol & Brandy read their clue first. We see Joe & Heidi get and tear open their clue (enough to see the red showing that it is a roadblock).
10 points - Which team is first to get the Detour Clue?
0 points - 22 people answered this question - Cord & Jet

0 points - 0 people answered this question - Steve & Allie
0 points - 1 people answered this question - Dan & Jordan
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Louie & Michael
OK, I swear I put a Not Shown as an option (which by the way is the correct answer). While Jet & Cord are the first team off their bus (2nd bus footage doesn't show any team actually departing so we can't tell). But I do clearly state that it MUST show both racers getting off the bus. We only get to see one racers (of the first three teams none on the 2nd bus). Since I can't give zero points (the game wont score), I will assign points to every answer since none is technically correct.

I don't consider them to have been equalized, particularly because they were given two different locked in departure times by production.
Also, Carol and Brandy DID mention that the Roadblock was a "Cowboy task" (In fact, a few teams stated that they weren't cowboys) but nobody said anything about how easy it would be for Jet & Cord.

I was thinking we heard someone at the lasso task say something about the Cowboys, but I don't have time to rewatch right now...Yeah Carol made some comments, but the comments on t he surface seemed to be general bitching about the cowboys (just as they did while playing poker). We had Jeff saying he is' a city boy not a country boy, and comments like that.

While the departure times were different, all teams getting to the bus station are stuck at the same point of the leg, waiting for their departure.Quote5 points - Are all teams equalized at the 1st Bus station?

All teams are on the current leg (so no Pit Stop), and each is equalized in being able to have no forward progress in the race.
But, I might, might be willing to change my opinion (which would give Coutzy a free point!).
So Does an Equalization mean that teams not only get bunched together at one point in time, but that they must also depart as a group at the same time, or does it just mean that at some point teams are all stuck at the same point without any forward progress? Lets hear what people say.
Post by: Coutzy on March 01, 2010, 10:38:30 PM
I was basing my answer for the bunching around the thinking that teams would not all be on the same bus, fwiw.

I was thinking we heard someone at the lasso task say something about the Cowboys, but I don't have time to rewatch right now...Carol says (when seeing the guys) "I don't believe this), then it goes to Cord saying how she thought it wasn't fair,that it was too much like their way of life, and he says well you don't see me complaining that they speak spanish.
"He got it!, THis is ridiculous (though in fairness she just said how it was an impossible task).
"Those cowboys have dusted us."
Heidi. "My God did the cowboys get it yet?"
Carol "Oh God Yes, they're out of here"
Jordan (about Jeff): "He's not a natural cowboy"
Jeff: "Bitch, I'm a city boy not a country boy."

Now it's still an equalizer even if not all the teams get bunched...but you asked if "all the teams" get equalized, so, going with this definition of Coutzy, the correct answer would be "no".
It will make my answer wrong (I think, if I remember correctly), but hey, if I'm wrong, it's only my fault, not the game's. Best to reward those who are most correct, rather than somewhat correct - and I don't really care if I don't win, but I will try my best! :lol:

5 points - Are all teams equalized at the 1st Bus station?The answer should be NO because the 2 buses departed from different bus stations.
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Yes Argue (away)
The 8:30am bus left from Del Salvador Bus Terminal (06:24 minutes into the episode) while the 8:50 bus left from the Cruz Del Sur Bus Terminal (07:17 in).
So only 3 teams got equalized at the first bus station.
Post by: kwando1313 on March 02, 2010, 11:48:31 AM
Are all teams equalized at the 1st bus station.
Can also be written as "At the 1st bus station, are all teams equalized?" meaning that the location is at the 1st bus station, which means ONLY at the 1st bus station are all teams equalized, which they are.

I know what I want the answer to be (NO, NO, NO), but it is easy to argue both sides, I know because I just talked myself out of one :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:
When I think of "ALL teams being equalized" I tend to look at a situation like last week, when all teams, because of the bus schedules, had the opportunity to be and were on the same bus to Santiago from Valparaiso, so no team had an advantage regardless of their start time. This week their clue specifically stated ONLY the first 3 first teams will be on the first bus, so even though technically all teams were likely hanging out at the bus terminal at the same time, 3 teams had an advantage so ALL teams were not equalized...equally, if you know what I mean :tup:

Post by: walkingpneumonia on March 02, 2010, 01:49:55 PM
Walking...that's why I said "likely," :) we will never know because they didn't show us but it's not stretch to believe that the teams may have been at the station together because there was only supposed to be 20min difference in departure times.
Ms. Wood...really??? Would that argument then apply to airports as well???
Sigh. They do show us that the buses left from different stations. There is no question about it. Do you think its likely that all of the teams would congregate at the Del Salvador Bus Terminal to see the first 3 teams off, then run over to the Cruz Del Sur Bus Terminal so they can get their bus at 8:50?
Never mind - I've got a pub in Hamburg to find...

Q1 Someone else might say the title as was done in a previous show (Jeff I think)
Or No One.
Q7 I believe you mean to write "there" and not "their"
Q10 I believe that with previous times that the Intersection was put upon us that the Fast Forward was presented (and chosen by the lead teams in both TAR 10 and TAR11
Q16 through Q21 I believe that each clue should start with "IF"

Good work MSwood for this week which should cause a lot of major guess work. But a few nit and pics:first question (since it has happened before).
Q1 Someone else might say the title as was done in a previous show (Jeff I think)
Or No One.
Q7 I believe you mean to write "there" and not "their"
Q10 I believe that with previous times that the Intersection was put upon us that the Fast Forward was presented (and chosen by the lead teams in both TAR 10 and TAR11
Q16 through Q21 I believe that each clue should start with "IF"
Question one added as a possible answer: Someone or something else.
Question 7: Made the change (I can't believe how many times I typed that wrong. No change in answers.
Question 10: Included the Fast Forward as part of the Intersection options. No change in possible answers.
On the last correction (s): I should have used If (I mean really should have). But I don't want to have to change both the possible answers and the question. Since I include in each the possible answer "They don't work together", I thank that should still cover the all the bases.

10 points - Previously the Intersection paired teams for the Detour task (with the Fast Forward as an option), this time they are paired for?
Roadblock
Detour
Something new
Shouldn't there be the option of "Both", or does that situation fall under that "Something New" category?

10 points - Which team uses the Fast Forward?
Jet & Cord
Joe & Heidi

There is no Fast Forward to use
No one uses the Fast Forward that is available
I think you need to EiITHER include ALL of the teams as a choice, or have an option NONE of the above....

Yeah, there's nothing I can think of about those four teams that would make them more likely to take the FF than the other four. Why are they the only four listed? ???

Well I was lazy. But I figured (so of course I will be wrong) if their is a fast forward, then like previous episodes with the Intersection it would effect two teams. Since we have evidence of the teams being, Brent & Caite and Jordan & Jeff as one, Dan & Jordan and Carol & Brandy as another, Jet & Cord and Michael & Louie as yet another pair and finally Joe & Heidi with Steve & Allie I thought it would save time and just include one team of each pair.Quote10 points - Which team uses the Fast Forward?

Of course that all depends on (if their is a Fast Forward) two teams having to take it. If not, Oops.......

Do I need to check spoilers???
If there is a fast forward and it is only available to one team (and it isn't a team listed) then free points to everybody (since I can't put in a zero for everyone). If its for a single team and its one of the ones listed (then just that answer will get points.
If its two teams that use the fast forward, then (unless the teams don't work together like spoilers think) then the options should cover the possible choices.
But I can't see them using a Fast Forward (as they always allow teams to skip all tasks (save a general task before the first route marker). And since they need an even number of teams for the Intersection, that to me indicates that if there is a fast forward it would apply to two teams.
So

No new spoiler....I am just thinking that the FF could be totally separate from the Intersection...IF there is even one. I just wanted to put another team is all. :lol:
That wouldn't work though. Then one team would have to work by themselves during the Intersection part.
Well I guess it could work, but it's not very fair to that single team.

Nice to see Carol & Brandy having fun, Dan being really cool, Michael & Louie having a blast, Steve & Allie actually getting screen time and doing great, and Joe & Heidi as well. We had already seen quite a bit with Jordan & Jeff, Cowboys (and yeah I do love these guys), and Brent & Caite. So it was nice to see the other teams and in a really positive way.
I certainly can't blame my dislike for this leg on the cast.

I thought the NEL's are planned before the season starts? How would production know Jeff and Jordan would pick the sauerkraut task before doing the soccer one? You are not the first person to think it was unfair so I was wondering if I am missing something?

I disagree.... remember, they had to visit the monument for the Beatles, which clearly had "Route Info" on it... So I would say that that was a general task and that the Beatles Club was the pit stop, thus, it was a general task.

I'd say both, since the Beatle's were involved in both a route info and the pit stop.

Oh, it's nothing. I'm just annoyed about almost every aspect of this leg, that's all (no departure times, Intersection, rushed editing, Louie & Michael in first, etc.) And sick of the producer's favorite teams hogging all the non-elim legs (first Maria & Tiffany, and now Jeff & Jordan, both of whom don't/didn't really deserve to stay). It's likely arbitrary, but it's shocking how often all of these coincidences seem to happen anyway.

Wait a minute... this doesn't make sense. You can't give points to both because if you do count it as a general task, then none of the above doesn't work because it is one of the above...

Ok, I don't really see a task, a see go to a destination, but I ccan certainly see General task as I consider general task to be from the general route info clue, which this is from.
"Route Info"(Blue Envelope) has never been considered a "general task". Obviously, the route info was to lead the teams to Beatle-Platz where they would find a "general task" (yellow envelope) which would lead them around the area and finally to another location where they would receive the Route Info taking them to the pit stop at the Beattle Bar. But you can tell this part of the route info was edited out. None of the teams finish reading the clue and are cut off after reading "Proceed to Beatle-Platz"
So since this is a route info bit and not a general task, the correct answer for this question should be NONE OF THE ABOVE.

Amen. Gman's reasoning doesn't make sense to me. Detours, U-turns, and Yields (oh my!) are yellow, but not general tasks. General tasks are miscellaneous ones in Route Info clues.

I disagree. A "General Task" is something like the Beer Boot task. The Beetles is more like a transport task not general.

Yes there was a general task in there, but there was also a task of getting to the pit stop (let alone the pit stop itself) which was Beatle's related.
wouldn't it be similar to the multiple penalties thing in Leg 1?
since there were multiple clues/tasks/whatever that dealt with the Beatles, there is room for multiple correct answers (which in my opinion there were).

You guys are misinterpreting me. Basically, I jumped at what G-man said: he claims there was a general task involving the Beatles, just it wasn't shown on the screen. The question itself never clarified if we had to see this task.
Feel free to disagree. Oh forget it, just do whatever you want, it's just a game guys.
DavidJunior: It can't be both. None of the Above only applies if all of the other answer choices are wrong.

This week for most of the US is Daylights savings time. And as such we will spring forward. Last year we noticed that the clock for the game did not change. As such the game will end 5 minutes before the episode airs on the east coast of the US no matter what the game clock actually reads.

Because of the early cut off time several people didn't get their picks in, I wish I had that excuse for my performance.....
On the issue of the Beatles task. I ruled that it was "None of the above" I went back through last year and couldn't find anytime where just finding a location was considered a general task. And while they might have actually had to do something there (it wasn't shown during the episode) and one of the rules at the start is that unless the question refers to something outside of the episode (like the Elimination station for example) then we have to go on footage from the episode.

Question #2 Don't you mean WHERE IS THE SPEEDBUMP BOX not "which"?
Question #3 "At the same time" does this mean at the start of the ep when teams leave the pit stop?
After the first clue box (general, detour, roadblocks, speedbump, route info) when teams get the clue first? Would be hard for everyone to start doing something at the exact same time, someone has to open the clue box first.
Post by: mswood on March 12, 2010, 05:10:34 PM
Clarification
Question #2 Reads
5 Points - Which is the speedbump clue box?
Before the roadblock
Before the Detour
Before a General Route Marker
Yes it should be Where not Which.
On Question #3.
5 Points - Are all teams starting the days task at the same time?
Lets use last week's episode. Since teams arrive in the city (that the day's tasks started on) at three different times, then the answer would be no.
Using the first episode (as all teams arrived at the same time on the same plane) the answer would be yes.
I consider tasks to be not general travel. But tasks to be Detour, Roadblocks, U-Turns, Fast Forwards, ect. Even General tasks (like the beer drinking) would count, just not general travel.

5 Points - Is the team that is U-Turned already finished with the Detour (it happened before)?
Yes
No
I'm confused about this question. Why do you ask it? When a team is U-turned they are always finished with the Detour first.
Or did you mean "Are they finished with the Detour before another team uses the U-turn on them?" :duno:

For example in season 12, when Kynt & Vyxsin U-Turned Nic & Don. Nic & Don were already finished with the Detour (in fact long gone from it). In this situation the answer is Yes.
In season 14, when Luke & Margie U-Turned Amanda & Kris they hadn't yet finished the Detour. So in that situation the answer would be No.
Remember this is concerning when the team gets U-Turn (not when they discover they are U-Turned). And Other point is when they get the clue for successfully completely the Detour.

I do understand people using it (and lord if I was in the situation I probably would as well), I just think it turns the race into something a little ugly.

I actually hate the Yield and the U-Turn. As ideally I think win or loose it should be based on your performance not in hindering others. It's probably the only aspect of the race that I really dislike.
I do understand people using it (and lord if I was in the situation I probably would as well), I just think it turns the race into something a little ugly.
I wouldn't mind it if this thing appeared on every leg so to offer a modicum of strategy. The current incarnation of the U-turn is leaning on the lines of the FF: a one-time freebie that benefits the team in first.

You misspelled it!! it's CHEKHOV :neener:
But gah I wish I let my mom do that roadblock task. She knew who's the Russian author.... Ah well.
Haha, the lazer swimming outfit wasn't fun. Too bad we didn't out-swim Cara & Jaime quickly enough to nab the prize: jetskis!!

I don't remember the rules for the U-Turn. But if a team is quite a bit ahead and has finished the detour and has driven off down the road toward the next location (Roadblock, perhaps?) and another team coming up behind them then pastes them with the U-Turn, does that team have to come back and do the other half of the detour? And how are they notified that they have been U-Turned and must return? By Phil at the Pit Stop?
Post by: Coutzy on March 13, 2010, 10:44:46 PM
Basically, a team only has to go back if they see their picture on the U-Turn.
Post by: mswood on March 13, 2010, 11:01:48 PM
But that isn't what the question (that Hooky is talking about) is concerned with. Only if the U-Terned Team has finished the detour.

My brain is getting winded so I may not be able to keep this streak alive, but all the champagne you can drink or spill just may keep this old geezer going this week.
Thanks MSwood for doing such a great job for all of us, I think I just may move you up on my wench list :kuss:

Obviously not terrible. But a big blow after once being constantly in the Top 10. And I've fallen to 5th overall. :(
At least there's still time to make it up! I'll jump in with more vigor this week. :lol:
Now the target is G-man, but I'm still suspiciously keeping my eyes on Peach right below me. :snicker:

Jet & Cord take flight A, that arrives at 1:30 PM, and Carol and Brandy take flight B that arrives at 2:30 PM.
Is this considered an equalization?
Also:
Quote
10 points - Where does Steve get into the car accident?
Before the First Route Marker (not the clue at the Pit Stop)
Before the Roadblock
Before the Detour
Before getting to the Pit Stop
Probably should be worded differently, because if he crashes his car before the first route marker, wouldn't that make all of the options correct?
Post by: gingerman28 on March 19, 2010, 12:08:54 PM
If no team loses a position completing the detour (in other words every team is in the same position starting and finishing the detour) how do you score?
And if more than one team gains the same nuimber of positions from start to finish, then each team picked would win points? right?
and,
If no team gains a position completing the road block (in other words every team is in the same position starting and finishing the roadblock) how do you score?
And if more than one team gains the same number of positions from start to finish, then each team picked would win points, right?
On perhaps the question about when has his accident should be made clearer. Coutzy is correct in his reasoning. So question perhaps should read: "just before"

Asks, "To qualify the equalization point, consider this scenario:
Jet & Cord take flight A, that arrives at 1:30 PM, and Carol and Brandy take flight B that arrives at 2:30 PM.
Is this considered an equalization?"
Well it depends.
I have clarified the question, by adding the word all.
5 Points - Are all teams equalized at any point during this leg (meaning all caught up without forward motion, even if they depart at different times later)?
For the above example to be considered (for this) an equalization then not only would all teams need one of two things.
1. All teams would need to be at the same airport before any of the flights left.
That would count.
2. Teams take different flights somewhere (got to the airport at different times) but for some reason were stuck at the destination city without being able to leave (thus no forward progress).
Here are some more general reasons.
Teams waiting for one form of transport (say plane, bus, ferry).
Teams stopped mid race for something like transport (that all teams take) or for an hours of operation.

Brent & Caite arrive at the Pit Stop (phil even has them come on down with Carol & Brandy) they must go back and actually complete the leg.
But that doesn't mean they "weren't allowed" to check in...THEY realized their mistake...it wasn't Phil refusing to check them in, he was just agreeing that yeah, they needed to go finish the task. TV drama. But again, I haven't rewatched yet, on my list for today, but I remember on first watching looking at that.
Also need to relook at where Steve and Allie were when they had the accident...weren't they on the way into the RB? Gosh...I really need to rewatch :lol:
Post by: gingerman28 on March 23, 2010, 02:13:28 PM
Brent & Caite arrive at the Pit Stop (phil even has them come on down with Carol & Brandy) they must go back and actually complete the leg.
They never actually reached the mat (although Phil told them to come on down) since they themselves said that they had not found the detour clue. They had to go back and complete the task before being allowed to check in. This is not a penalty. They realized that they had not finished the detour and so went back to do it and that they were in the wrong place (they thought they were following another team to the detour location)

Brent & Caite did "arrive" at the pitstop and were not allowed to check in. (Proven by the converse, if they had been allowed to check in, they would have stayed.)

And I got it wrong, so I'm furious at Brent & Caite for once again arriving at the pit stop incorrectly. Isn't this 3 out of 6 times? At least this time, they weren't actively seeking the pit stop, they just happened upon it.
Post by: gingerman28 on March 23, 2010, 09:53:27 PM
True, when Brent & Caite first arrived at the pit stop, they were not allowed to check in.
And I got it wrong, so I'm furious at Brent & Caite for once again arriving at the pit stop incorrectly. Isn't this 3 out of 6 times? At least this time, they weren't actively seeking the pit stop, they just happened upon it.
Phil nor anyone else did not "allow" Brent and Caite to check in when they foolishly followed the other team to the pit stop. But they turned around of their own accord when they realized they were at the pit stop and not at the detour. So nobody said they could not check in nor where they penalized for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
The only time we see Jeff and Jordan before Dan and Jordan reach the Roadblock is when they leave the French pit stop in a normal manner and then in the car driving to Reims in a normal manner. They're not being idiots in my mind. Now the question has a cavaet"OK do we hear them talk?) Yes we hear them talk and Jordan demonstrates again her lack of knowledge confusing Joan of Arc with Noah and his arc. But is this being an idiot? Or just the usual dumb blonde syndrome? I think the correct answer to this question is that the Roadblock is shown first.

Post by: jerseydude on March 24, 2010, 01:45:10 AM
Brent and Caite is very dicey. They did step on the mat, and then they realised their mistake before Phil informed them.
imo, they were never disallowed the check in, because Phil normally says "You are the x team to arrive... however, for reason z you have received a penalty/must go back"
I agree with Coutzy. I re-watched the part and they did step on the mat, they probably saw Carol and Brandy's detour clue and realized that they didn't have one and then went back without being told to do so. I personally believe that it shouldn't be counted as a penalty or not allowed to check in because they went through the own accord and told by someone else.
Post by: chill_sd on March 24, 2010, 10:02:30 AM
Ask yourself this question, "Were Brent and Caite allowed to check in when they first arrived at the pitstop?" The answer is obviously, "No." Therefore they were "not allowed to check in at the Pit Stop when they first arrive(d)" which is how the game question was stated.
PS - The game question said, "get a penalty" or "not allowed to check in," so there doesn't need to be any question about a penalty.

I personally believe that it shouldn't be counted as a penalty or not allowed to check in because they went through the own accord and told by someone else.
If you look carefully (and I have rerun that scene several times frame by frame) Brent and Caite never actually stepped on the mat after Phil told them to come on down (he said nothing about getting on the mat with Brandy and Carol) When Brent turns to leave after realizing that they did not have a Detour clue (Brandy, by the way, does not have a detour clue in her hand, she has the route info clue (blue) telling them to drive to the pit stop)_and as the camera pulls back you can see that his foot is on the grass above the mat. After Phil tells them to come on down, nothing more is said by anyone except Brent who says they do not have the Detour clue so must go back, which the do on their own and wall back up the hill.
So there is no penalty given. And nothing is said or done related to not ALLOWING Brent and Caite to check in at the pit stop.
So the correct answer to this question, in my opinion, is a resounding NO.
Now I think we have whipped this poor dog of a question to death, and we should leave it in the hands of the capable MSwood to make the final call

So you are saying that they were allowed to check in, they just chose not to?
Never said that they were allowed toa check in. Phil just thought that they had completed the detour as Brandy and Carol had and that they were coming to the mat also. After that he did not say a single word about checking in, or being allowed to check, in not being allowed to check in. They realized their own mistake and went back up the hill and into their car to again search for the detour site.

We know the answer to the first part, "Do any teams get a penalty?" is NO. No need to belabor this point or talk about penalties at all.
The second part, "or not allowed to check in at the Pit Stop when they first arrive?" does not mention Phil, or the mat.
So we have to determine, in the case of Brent & Caite, when did "they first arrive" at the "Pit Stop." My contention is that they first arrived at the Pit Stop just behind Carol and Brandy, before they had actually completed the leg.
Now we must determine if they were "not allowed to check in." So we ask the question, "Were they allowed to check in at that time?" The answer is clearly, "No, they were not allowed to check in at that time." It doesn't matter if Phil said anything, the fact is nobody allowed them to check in.
BTW, I picked "No" so I'm not saying this because I want the points, it's just clearly the right answer.

OK, but who made the determination that they were "not allowed to check in"? Who didn't allow them? Who stopped them from checking in? They never asked to be checked in. So nobody or nothing else determined that they were "not allowed" to check in. They never tried to check in and so were never "not allowed to" since they never tried.

The second part, "or not allowed to check in at the Pit Stop when they first arrive?" does not mention Phil, or the mat.
So we have to determine, in the case of Brent & Caite, when did "they first arrive" at the "Pit Stop." My contention is that they first arrived at the Pit Stop just behind Carol and Brandy, before they had actually completed the leg.
Now we must determine if they were "not allowed to check in." So we ask the question, "Were they allowed to check in at that time?" The answer is clearly, "No, they were not allowed to check in at that time." It doesn't matter if Phil said anything, the fact is nobody allowed them to check in.
BTW, I picked "No" so I'm not saying this because I want the points, it's just clearly the right answer.
OK, but who made the determination that they were "not allowed to check in"? Who didn't allow them? Who stopped them from checking in? They never asked to be checked in. So nobody or nothing else determined that they were "not allowed" to check in. They never tried to check in and so were never "not allowed to" since they never tried.
It is a TAR rule that you are "not allowed" to check in unless you have received the clue that directs you to the Pit Stop.
If that rule was not in place Brent and Caite could have checked in when they arrived at the Pit Stop. So it is the rule that did not "allow" them to check in...

So you are saying that they were allowed to check in, they just chose not to?
Never said that they were allowed toa check in. Phil just thought that they had completed the detour as Brandy and Carol had and that they were coming to the mat also. After that he did not say a single word about checking in, or being allowed to check, in not being allowed to check in. They realized their own mistake and went back up the hill and into their car to again search for the detour site.
Phil already knew that they had not completed the Detour. He just didn't have time to officially tell them to go back. They weren't allowed to check in at that time, regardless of whether anyone told them so. I think the correct answer should be "yes". It asks if a team either 1) got a penalty or 2) were not allowed to check in a the Pit Stop when they first arrived. Since the second option did in fact occur and it's an "Or" question, the answer should be yes. They were not allowed to check in at that point.

Brent and Caite is very dicey. They did step on the mat, and then they realised their mistake before Phil informed them.
imo, they were never disallowed the check in, because Phil normally says "You are the x team to arrive... however, for reason z you have received a penalty/must go back"
I agree with Coutzy. I re-watched the part and they did step on the mat, they probably saw Carol and Brandy's detour clue and realized that they didn't have one and then went back without being told to do so. I personally believe that it shouldn't be counted as a penalty or not allowed to check in because they went through the own accord and told by someone else.
If you look carefully (and I have rerun that scene several times frame by frame) Brent and Caite never actually stepped on the mat after Phil told them to come on down (he said nothing about getting on the mat with Brandy and Carol) When Brent turns to leave after realizing that they did not have a Detour clue (Brandy, by the way, does not have a detour clue in her hand, she has the route info clue (blue) telling them to drive to the pit stop)_and as the camera pulls back you can see that his foot is on the grass above the mat. After Phil tells them to come on down, nothing more is said by anyone except Brent who says they do not have the Detour clue so must go back, which the do on their own and wall back up the hill.
So there is no penalty given. And nothing is said or done related to not ALLOWING Brent and Caite to check in at the pit stop.
So the correct answer to this question, in my opinion, is a resounding NO.
Now I think we have whipped this poor dog of a question to death, and we should leave it in the hands of the capable MSwood to make the final call
If they never stepped on the mat, then I would call that never arrived, strictly speaking.

I concur with wp. The first time Brent & Caite arrived to the Pit Stop, they weren't able to check in because of race rules.Here's the original question:Quote5 points - Do any teams get a penalty or not allowed to check in at the Pit Stop when they first arrive?

If that is the case, then I think we should go back to past seasons and redo the scores for all the times teams have been edged out in a foot race.
If Ray and Deana arrived at the Pit Stop before Brian and Greg (Which they did, by that logic) Why did they get eliminated?

If that is the case, then I think we should go back to past seasons and redo the scores for all the times teams have been edged out in a foot race.My point is that to be allowed to check in you must have retrieved all the clues in a leg, or receive a clue that tells you specifically to go to the Pit Stop. The only difference here is that Phil did not state the obvious (on camera) like on last leg.
If Ray and Deana arrived at the Pit Stop before Brian and Greg (Which they did, by that logic) Why did they get eliminated?
Brent & Caite arrived at L'Orrca behind Carol 6 Brandy the first time. At that time they weren't allowed (by the rules) to check-in because they didn't meet the requirements needed to check-in

But my point is that by not stepping on the mat, they never arrived at the Pit Stop. It all depends on how you define Pit Stop. I define it as the mat, because that is the point where the leg ends, not the gates to L'orcca.
Post by: Dånooky on March 24, 2010, 11:52:30 PM
IMO, the Pit Stop is not limited to the Mat. But I guess right now it's just up to how mswood interprets Pit Stop.If that is the case, then I think we should go back to past seasons and redo the scores for all the times teams have been edged out in a foot race.My point is that to be allowed to check in you must have retrieved all the clues in a leg, or receive a clue that tells you specifically to go to the Pit Stop.

Then are allowed, while we don't hear Phil state the Brent & Caite you are team number such, but... I am going with the answer of Yes that Brent & Caite aren't allowed to check in.
ANd I choose No, so no points for me damn it.
The rest will be graded in about 20 minutes, with new question in the hour following.

And just how are Jordan and Jeff being idiots? For them they seem to be acting perfectly normal before we see the first team reach the roadblock. Who is to make judgments such as this on what is normal and what is being an idiot?
G-Man I didn't address this, but I should have.
My use of ( ) aren't always consistent. In some weeks (certainly in the last two seasons, I have used those to mock teams, and didn't mean for that to be part of the question, but lately more often I have used ( ) to refine the answer.
Because I am not always consistent I am going to award points to both. I did intend the possible answer to be Jeff & Jordan speak.
As such I am awarded you a point (like you need it) and will award the other answer as well in the game

Question #3: Are teams equalized? I marked "No" but you haven't awarded me my five points. In fact, it looks like nobody was given points. Did you perhaps overlook this question?
Qusetion #21: Who is the 6th team to arrive at the Pit Stop? In all past episodes it has been the team stepping on the mat and being accorded the corresponding position by Phil that has determined the "arrival at the pit stop". In this episode Brent and Caite are the 6th team to arrive officially at the mat or pit stop. I don't think you can count the appearance of Brent and Caite while Brandy and Carol are being checked in by Phil as the number 2 team to arrive.
And on the matter of Brent and Caite being on the mat, you can see when the camera pulls back that Brent's feet are on the grass and not on the matt.
Anyway, if I am correct I should have a total 90 points or 85 if I do not get points for question #21.

If the name of the island "Anonymous" is contained in route info and is read by a team member, does this count as a team member stating the title? Or if it is first mentioned by Phil as he explains some route or task info would this count as none of the above?
And please clarify question #3 "Are teams provided airline tickets in advance?"
How would we know this? If the usual scene at the airport or travel agency is not shown, but just the teams on the plane or arriving at some airport we would not know if they were provided tickets in advance or that they actually bought them somewhere with the CBS credit card? Or does "we don't see how the teams make the flight" cover this?

If the title is in a clue and its read by a racer (or even racers) it would count as spoken by the racers. If it was a sign (that isn't spoken a loud, or in narration only, or done by a local only then it would be none of the above. And if it is an a clue read by many we can have multiple correct answers.
Here are the questions for this week, but I haven't put them in the game yet (Should be done by about 10am eastern).

On the issue of the flights.
Production on occasion has provided tickets for the racers (typically on either hard to reach places or to keep teams bunch in a group). All Stars had these twice. The flight Eric & Danielle and The guidos took that was to get them to Poland (it didn't) was provided by production.
They usually say that that teams are given provided tickets but are not obligated to use them in the voice over. Its happen many times over the years, rarely do teams actually use them.

10 Points - Steve & Allie and Carol & Brandy appear to leave something during the race. Which team loses the most spots in going back to get what they lost?
Steve & Allie
Carol & Brandy
Neither loses any spots
Both lose an equal amount of spots
Teams don’t go back
If neither loses any spot, then technically both lose an equal amount of spots (0). Would you like to rephrase the answer choices?

No, if it happens that both don't lose any placing it gives you guys and gals two possible correct choices. My gift for no free points.
Got it. :tup:
I hate the placement questions (:;)

In this episode Brent and Caite are the 6th team to arrive officially at the mat or pit stop. I don't think you can count the appearance of Brent and Caite while Brandy and Carol are being checked in by Phil as the number 2 team to arrive.
And on the matter of Brent and Caite being on the mat, you can see when the camera pulls back that Brent's feet are on the grass and not on the matt.
Anyway, if I am correct I should have a total 90 points or 85 if I do not get points for question #21.
Good afternoon, mswood, what no reponse to my query about missing points for questions #3 and #21?
As for #3 if you check the game board you will see that I got neither a green check nor a red X for this question. I think I marked it correctly "no" but no points.

Well the game shows that No is the option awarded 5 points. Let me see if others also don't have any results for this question.
Post by: mswood on March 27, 2010, 05:35:44 PM
By any chance might you have not clicked one of the options (its the only thing I can think of), as it appears that it's the one question without all 24 people with an answer.
On this (since it isn't me forgetting to assign a point value or assigning the point value to the wrong option) I have no way of changing the results.

When Dan and Jordan arrive at the Pit Stop -- which has always meant as long as TAR has been running on the air that this (the Pit Stop) is the end of the race for that episode -- Phil says "you are team number five" and when Brent and Caite arrive he says "you are team number six." So how can you reconcile the answer you say is correct that Dan and Jordan are the sixth team to arrive at the pit stop? In all your previous games you have you have used this expression "which team is first to arrive at the Pit Stop?" to mean who won the race? Finally when teams leave the Pit Stop in tonight's episode, Brent and Caite will be leaving in sixth position, not in the third position and Dan and Jordan will be leaving in the sixth position and not in the fifth position.

I have to bring this up one last time because I have not seen a resolution to the question.

I thought I had already addressed this issue. But he question was:
5 Points - Which team is 6th to arrive at the Pit Stop?
And actually I have often used three type of questions for getting to the Pit Stop:
Here is examples from just this season's questions.
10 Points - Which team is the first to check into the Pit Stop?
to
15 points - Which team is the first to arrive at the Pit Stop?
and one that I used to use more of
10 points - Which team is first to arrive at the mat?
And to show that they don't mean the same here are some examples from just this seasons games.
From Ep#1 the same week
15 points - Which team is the first to arrive at the Pit Stop?
5 points - Is that team the first to official check into the Pit Stop?
And here are some more from this season
Ep#2
10 points - Which team is the last to reach the Pit Stop?
and on the same game
5 points - Is that team eliminated?
Meaning that even on an elimination leg the last person to reach the Pit Stop might not be the team eliminated (for example in season 13, episode 3) Kelly & Christy are the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop, but they aren't eliminated because Mark & Bill are the last team to be able to check into the Pit Stop.
So arrive doesn't equal check in. Now in some weeks all I use is arrive, and in those so far it has also matched the Check into Pit Stop (so there hasn't been any discussion). But it always refers to getting to Phil, not getting checked in by Phil.
In most cases the answers for arrive at Pit Stop and check into the Pit Stop are going to be the same. Heck even in cases of teams having to go back its' on occasion been the same (see All Stars episode 3, when D&K arrive at the Pit Stop in 4th have to leave to find the cluebox come back and still are in fourth, just as happened to Brent & Caite in the 1st french leg where they arrived in 6th, had to leave to get a clue and came back still in sixth.
The only one that would really make me think is season 15 when Zev & Justin arrived in first, checked in in first but had to go back to the mat and told they in fact have to go get their material before being allowed to continue with the race (and would no longer be considered 1st).
Or for that matter in that same episode. Sam & Dan arrive in 2nd, are checked in 2nd but because of Zev & Just officially awarded 1st.
Post by: mswood on March 28, 2010, 07:19:15 PM
When I use a question, '"What teams arrives at the Pit Stop 3rd (or for that matter any number)" I mean what time do they first get to Phil.
Not when they check into the Pit Stop.
When I say ,"What team checks into the Pit Stop 5th (or any number), I mean what position do teams official check in with.
Often when phil greets a team (using episode #1 of this season) he states Brent & Caite you are the 2nd team to arrive. He then goes forward with stating how they aren't able to check in.
9 minutes later with Monique & Shawne he states, "Monique & Shawne your are team #2. Stating not what order they arrived, but what order they officially placed.
In the last leg, Dan & Jordan are said by Phil to be Team #5. Meaning they are officially the 5th team to check into the Pit Stop. They weren't the 5th team to get to Phil. They were the 6th as Brent & caite actually arrived at the Pit Stop 3rd (then left to finish the course).

Actually I think Brandy & Carol were last when they lose something (at the detour), they go back and still finish that aspect of the race in last place. So they don't technically lose any placings due to this.
We also have Steve & Allie who don't go back for their possessions and also don't lose any placings.

Works for me.
The end of the roadblock is when the racer re-boards the boat with the bottle. From that point the racers are working together again.
I agree. Roadblocks are only for one person to perform. I may have hope this round...

So you're saying the correct answer would be "Neither lose any placings", right?
I sucked this week.
Me too. The placing questions killed me. Steve & Allie first? I think I put them as 4th or 5th. I did have Dan & Jordan 1st, which was close, but only exact brings any points with these questions. :P
It also doesn't help that I completely spaced out and forgot that of course all departures from the Pit Stop would be shown, since they were shown in the promos. :groan:

I also agree that this was a production provided flight, and that the RB ends when the teammate gets back into the boat.

No? I was thinking they don't finish the RB until they go back the Second time, they lose places... They don't have the bottle when they leave the boat for the map stage, which is where the RB ensd for me...leaving the boat with the bottle.

No. Steve and Allie do NOT go back for what they left (their backbacks), so by default they do not lose any spots. SO can't be both. So do C/B lose a spot?? I can't remember.

Post by: georgiapeach on March 30, 2010, 10:34:09 PM
The RB ends as soon as the two racers start working together again. Opening the bottle and solving the map is a task that both racers do together.
right. Once they have the bottle on shore.

Steve and Allie did not go back at all, so there is no "neither" team in regards to losing spots by the action of going back, which is what the clue asks for.. The only team in this Q who went back is Brandy and Carol. so it can't be both, since one of them didn't go back. The question has no answer.

No. Steve and Allie do NOT go back for what they left (their backbacks), so by default they do not lose any spots. So can't be both. So do C/B lose a spot?? I can't remember.
Well all we have is Phil's voice over to really draw a line. And here is what Phil says,"One team member must find a submerged case of seven bottles figure out how to untie it and then bring one of the seven bottles up to the surface. With that task complete team members must work together to assemble a map. Once on shore the map will lead them a long a path to their most valued treasure, the Pit Stop."
Based off Phil's words (not to mention other racers touching and holding the bottle as soon as its on board), the task is over once reaching the surface (I would say where they started the roadblock). And the fact that once on shore is after him talking about working as a team.
So for this the RB is over once they get to the surface of the water. For more proof Dan has the map (out of the bootle and is the one to take it to shore).
The point on this is they don't lose any spots. Since both lose zero, then its the same number of spots. I don't think the fact that Steve & Allie don't go back invalidate either possible answer.
I don't think either answer says that a team went back or not, just that an equal amount of spots were lost with that number being zero.
But feel free to argue this one.
Post by: georgiapeach on March 30, 2010, 11:41:59 PM
But >> Which team loses the most spots in going back to get what they lost?
Since Steve and Alie did not go back, they cannot lose spots in the going back>.which is the way the question is phrased.
So therefore the answer is Carol and Brandy (if they did, and I really don't remember) or NEITHER> BOTH cannot be acceptable because one did not go back.
SO really, even if Carol and Brandy lose no spots in going back...they lose more IN THE GOING back than Steve and Allie, who did not go back. It is apples and oranges, and is an invalid question. ;)
Post by: mswood on March 30, 2010, 11:55:09 PM
As for the RB, I don't think thats open to interpretation as it's clear that if Dan took possession of a roadblock that his brother had picked (going from taken the bottle, taking the material and assembling it on the boat, taking it out of the boat and transporting it to the shore) would have earned them how big of a penalty? Yikes.

"10 Points - Do all teams travel on the same flight?" Be specific. Do you mean out of Seychelles, into Malaysia, or both?If at any time all teams are on the same flight it counts. It doesn't have to be all flights (if teams take multiple, that would kill me)
"10 Points - Which team is firstshowingseen in Malaysia (anywhere in Malaysia)?" Spelling fixed.

You might want to include "Something Else" as an option for these ones too. What if it were a TBC leg? (I doubt it will be, but you never know.)

General Route Marker
Task Marker
This one is kind of hard to understand. You're basically asking whether the first clue in Malaysia is a Route Info clue or if it's a task clue (Detour, RB, Speed Bump, Fast Forward), right?

Does starting it mean when Jet & Cord get the Speed Bump clue or is it when they arrive at the location and actually start performing the task?
Post by: mswood on April 03, 2010, 05:39:42 PM
On the question that are for teams "Officially checking into the Pit Stop" if there is a TBC Leg then no points. I don't want to change the possible answers this late.
On this question.
10 Points -Jet & Cord must perform a speedbump. What position are they in when they start it?
Means when they start the task.
AS an example early this year Jordan & Jeff had a speedbump. I would count the beginning of that task to be when they start getting dressed in military uniforms.
On this question
5 Points - When teams get to Malaysia to teams first have to find a general route marker, or is it one that (holds a task clue, roadblock, speedbump, detour, intersection,fast forward)?
Gawd was I drunk?
I will reward the question on the game to make it more clear.
It now reads:
5 Points - In Malaysia which comes first?
A General Route Marker
A Task marker (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, Speedbump, U-Turn)

10 Points - Which team states the title, "You're like Jason Bourne, right?"? Michael & Louie
10 Points - Do all teams travel on the same flight? Yes
10 Points - Which team is first shown in Malaysia (anywhere in Malaysia)? Split-second rush! I see Brent first, but if you want both people, then it's Jet/Cord. (?)
10 Points - Which team is first to get to the roadblock clue? Jet & Cord
10 Points - Do teams start and end the roadblock in the same order?
10 Points - Which team is 3rd to complete the Roadblock? Carol & Brandy (?)
10 Points - Which team is first to get the Detour clue? Dan & Jordan
10 Points - How many teams choose (and attempt) to climb the steeps for their detour? 5
10 Points - How many teams switch detour tasks? 1
10 Points - Which team gains the most spots performing the Detour (which answer is the more accurate one)? Jet & Cord went from 6th to 1st (?)
10 Points - What team loses the most positions performing the detour (most accurate answer)?
Steve & Allie went from 3rd to 6th, but Dan & Jordan went from 1st to 5th (?)
10 Points - Which team is 2nd to finish the detour? Brent & Caite
10 Points -Jet & Cord must perform a speedbump. What position are they in when they start it? 1
10 Points - What position are Jet & Cord when they complete the Speedbump? 1
5 Points - Official Check in Steve & Allie are **** out of luck (6th)
10 Points - Dan & Jordan officially check in.. Down 3 (5th)
10 Points - Brent & Caite do official Check in Worse then last week
5 Points - Louie & Michael official check in... 3
5 Points - Carol & Brandy officially check in: Something else (2nd). Their best placement was 2nd in Leg 6, so they did not do better than before. They arrived 3rd in Leg 3. In both Leg 4 and 5, they arrived 5th.
10 Points - Jet & Cord get to Phil in 1
5 Points - Any Penalties this week (Speedbump doesn't count)? No
5 Points - In Malaysia which comes first? This was badly worded. I interpreted it as what teams had to do after finding their first route marker in Malaysia. If so, it would be a Task marker (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, Speedbump, U-Turn). (?)

The first spotting of teams in Malaysia is at the airport. Team members are seen running by in this order: Brent, Cord, Caite, Jet, Jordan, et al. When the frame is frozen the first three team members are seen in one frame: Brent, Cord, Caite. Therefore, the first team shown in Malaysia is Brent and Caite.
Teams start and end the Roadblock in the same order they started the roadblock: (1) Cowboys, (2) Carol and Brandy, (3) Louie and Michael, (4) Brent and Caite, (5) Dan and Jordan, (6) Steve and Allie. The teams also check in with Phil at the mat in this same order. Incidentally, and I think that this is the first for TAR the teams check in this time in the exact reverse order in which the did in the previous ep.
The third team to start and finish the roadblock is Louie and Michael.
The team which gains the most spots PERFORMING the detour is Jet and Cord. They were the third team to start the detour (flags) and the first team to finish. So they gained three spots which was the most gained by any team.
The team which loses the most positions PERFORMING the detour is Carol and Brady. They were the first team to start the detour (steps) and were the third team to complete the detour. Therefore, they lost three spots. The other four teams doing the steps completed the detour in the same position they started.
Brent and Caite were the second team to start the detour and the second team to END the detour.

10 Points - Do teams start and end the roadblock in the same order? No

I agree with Dan. It's based on the order they arrived and finished the RB.
Did anyone also notice that it said Brent & Caite were in 5th when they got to the RB? They were actually in 4th. :lol:
And I'm not sure how this happened, but this week I only answered the first 4 questions. I only got 30 points, so I'm probably dead now. :groan:
And Peach quitting! Don't quit! :'(
It's funny because now both me and Peach are unexpectedly out of the running at the exact same time (or at least Peach is). :ascared

My observations:
The first spotting of teams in Malaysia is at the airport. Team members are seen running by in this order: Brent, Cord, Caite, Jet, Jordan, et al. When the frame is frozen the first three team members are seen in one frame: Brent, Cord, Caite. Therefore, the first team shown in Malaysia is Brent and Caite.
But if you saw three people, doesn't that mean that more than one team is shown?

I don't want you out, but knowing how kind you are, we'll let you go (you'll be stubborn if we insist you so as to stay??)

I think that you were perfectly clear in your question Which team is first showing (seen in) Malaysia. In a past episode when you asked a similar question about which team was seen first, you ruled that that meant a complete team together. In this case, at the airport in Malaysia we first see Brent running, then Cord running and then Caite come into the frame to join Brent and Cord. So the answer to the question is that Brent and Caite are the first team shown together in Malaysia. Jet and Cord are not shown until a few frames later, and is actually at an earlier spot: just some lousy post-production editing. In fact, when you see Jet and Cord together you also in the same scene see Dan and Jordan and Steve and Allie. So I think that you can only award the one answer: Brent and Caite are the first TEAM shown together in Malaysia.Well I did mean when a full team appeared what the status was. At that time more then one team was on screen, technically a team and a half. Now in other episodes we have seen a full team by themselves, and in the third episode this season I did ask a similar question but if you notice I never included an option for does more then the two racers appear.
SInce I do honestly think my intent was unclear its the reason I am taking both answers.

Since Hooky beat me to it, I will post the bonus points next week, so no claiming extra points on me not putting them in.........

10 Points - DO we see teams use a train or a bus?
Yes
No
Think this needs a "Both" answer. For instance, (and I'm not saying this will happen) what if one team takes a bus and another a train?
And what if one team uses a birdlike kite contraption? :lol3:
Post by: gingerman28 on April 08, 2010, 10:28:49 AM
Are you using "arrive" and "check in" at the pit stop to mean the same thing?
What about when a team "arrives" at the pit stop, but it is a TBC, the team has still arrived but has not checked in. (Teams continue on a TBC)
If teams do not check in at the pit stop, but just receive notice to continue on racing (Moscow i.e.) there would be no gift or prize given, yes?
What if the postion a team is in when they either use the uturn or receive the uturn is not given or is not clear? And when a team is uturned is the position that team in that when the other team uses the uturn or that when they actually see that they have been uturned? Again what if the actual position is not given or subtitled? So "can't be determined" should be an option.,
Have a hospital appointment, so will add some more clarifications later.
Post by: mswood on April 08, 2010, 08:36:24 PM
Arrive at the Pit Stop mean s get to the area where the Mat and and or Phil is on a leg with a Pit Stop. If its a TBC there is technically no Pit Stop (though we do often get Phil and/or a mat though not always).
Check in , means they are cleared by Phil as Team number 1, or 2, ect.....
You are absolutely right I do need to add an option for their is no Fast FOrward. I will get that up tonight on the game.
As for prizes on the game itself I had included a nothing option. I will clarify that to mean nothing /or there is no Pit Stop.

We can't have teams open a clue talk about getting a flight and then see planes landing in the next city.
Airport footage could be just seeing the airport, seeing teams in the airport, but it must be of the airport.

I will not count teams walking near a bus or a train. Nor will I count being at a train station or bus station. Unless its to buy tickets.

Post by: DrRox on April 11, 2010, 11:03:07 PM
Drew was okay till he fell on that curb in Quito in the dark and really messed up his back. Same think with Steve and Dave, well really Dave.........he messed his knee up on the first task they had to do....walking in/on the snow......His knee was almost back to shape when they got eliminated.
I just thought Don was smart enough to not have to run.......lol...........He really knew how to pace himself........:)

I'm going to have to respectfully raise an objection (despite the fact I put down no) before anybody else does. Is that the airport I see in the very first frame of the preview? (This also addresses uycocoa's early point.)
Otherwise, I'm hoping for no other disputes.

I assumed from Caite's rhythm spiel in the preview that her team would finish the detour ahead of others, and of course everything cascades from that. :tup:

#2. This season is pretty bad for me because i choose to go with my gut feelings.
Many a times spoilers might have stated that a team might be eliminated.. but i'll still choose to go ahead and root for the team that i like and hope that miracle will happen... or a team i don't like will do really well.. and i still go against spoilers.
Such as hoping that Jody and Shannon will not be eliminated, followed by Monique and Shawne, Joe and Heidi, Steve and Allie...
and i really do not like Mike and Louie.. so for me to not choose them to do well for te three legs they came in first was a huge blow in terms of points.
Did not like Jet and Cord, Jeff and Jordan for the first three legs and there goes my points as well.
On the leg that my favourite team, Steve and Allie finally do well... it turns out that there are just so many errors within the entire leg and screw up everything regarding the questions.
So this season = unenjoyable for me.. so while i do not like this season. I still love this game and would love to keep playing and make the most out of it!!
PS: So weird for me to dislike a season.. visiting my own country. :lol:

I assume now that you wrote the question correctly, so my answer is based upon that wordage and not what you might have meant the question to read. And since you do not include "no one" as a possible answer I would believe that the answer "something else" would include "no one" since that is indeed something else.
I'm going on record now, because I know this will end up in a big fight when the answers are revealed. We have to go on what is actually written not what might be intended.
Post by: mswood on April 25, 2010, 05:48:40 PM
I am now hoping the wording is correct on the game (since I do sometimes correct errors when actually posting to the game).
As it is now I would never change a question (I don't like to do that much later then the next day just in case some people have already played).
But if I worded something crazy off memory I am going with the money question, then I do actually believe their is more then one possible answer (which wasn't done on purpose) but since it is there, I would take either.

Post by: Cocoa on April 28, 2010, 09:41:11 PM
Actually, based upon how question number one was written on the test, the correct answer should be "no one"
No one said: "I fell like I'm In, Like Sicily?"
I'm so sorry to tell this, but can we just use our common sense sometimes? It's true that it is only a typographical error. Sorry to counter you Gman, but I wouldn't be so desperate for scores.
Post by: mswood on April 28, 2010, 09:50:35 PM
My only other option is to not award any points to this question. Not that anyone picked Someone or something else (which didn't apply as no one or no thing stated the title of the episode (no matter the spelling).
Those are my choices Brent who did state the title, just not as I spelled it but it was the episode title, or nothing.
Post by: mswood on April 28, 2010, 09:58:02 PM
Got to keep that Joab out of my hair (what's left) one way or the other.Just to quibble. Oh this is fun.
Times teams are awarded places, I count (and I did review the videotape) as follows:
Jet and Cord First Place - 7 times
Brent and Caite Second Place - 6 times
Dan and Jordan Third Place - 3 times
Louie and Michael Fourth place - 3 times
Brent & Caite are actually awarded 2nd place 7 times.
Leaving the Pit Stop
Finishing the 1st Roadblock
Getting the Fashion general task clue
Completing the Fashion task
Arriving at the football stadium
Finishing the 2nd roadblock
Arriving at the Pit Stop.
All in jest. I love that everyone keeps me honest.
Post by: Dånooky on April 28, 2010, 11:47:43 PM
Yeah since i have , often before had spelling errors and not voided out the question, I can't in good faith do it here.for all we know, Brent may actually spell it the same way :lol:

I'm pretty sure that they were credited for third place at sometime...Nope - checked the whole episode - no 3rd place credit for Louie and Mike. :'(
Post by: gingerman28 on May 03, 2010, 12:10:52 PM
Louie and Michael are awarded Third Place on a title when they are on the Garden Bridge and are opening the clue envelope.
Louie and Michael are never given a position title when they reach the speed bump. They arrive at the temple hand in hand with Dan and Jordan so they could be either third or fourth. But as Dan and Jordan open the clue they are credited with a third place title. So one could assume that Louie and Michael are in fourth place. But since the placings are not clear, I think that both third and fourth would have to be accepted as correct answers.

Well, we'll leave this to mswood... technically they were in third when they arrived at the speed bump...
I feel that the speed bump in an independant track (Bad analogy incoming!) like the "Alternate 1985" featured in Back to the Future 2. While Mike and Louie were completing the Speed Bump, they were not on the standard race course, and I feel that they cannot be credited with a placing while on this alternate course.
The whole point is moot for one of the questions, because they were credited with 3rd on Garden Bridge. But I think in the Speed Bump arrival case it comes down to who is shown opening their clue first.
Post by: walkingpneumonia on May 03, 2010, 12:31:15 PM
I doublechecked and I can not hear anyone saying how much money they received. You have to look quickly to see that the clue does say that teams received $22, but if no one actually said it does the question only apply to someone saying it and not what you might catch if you looked closesly.

As the teams are approaching both clueboxes, the last shot we see is off Louie in the lead followed by Dan, then Jordan then Michael.
We then see Louie get the clue.
Moments afterwards we see Dan & Jordan get the Roadblock clue, now at that point Dan & Jordan are in 3rd. But that isn't the question. The question is what place are Louie & Mike when they get the Speedbump clue. And unlike getting to the Pit Stop (where both people must be on the matt for an official check in), clues are given credit by just who the first racer of the group is when they get the clue.
As it is I think I have to give it to Louie & Mike (and I don't want to , I need the points).
Please feel free to twist my arm on this one.

Oh.... I'll be happy to twist your arm here. Louie gets to the cluebox before Dan and Jordan do, thus making them in 3rd place when they get to the speed bump.Not exactly the way I was hoping my arm would be twisted.
Or in other words, they are in third when they get to the speedbump.

Mike and Louie PASSED the Bros in their run to the Speed Bump as they saw their extra task there. They then knew they hd to make up a great loss of time, and thus beat them. The task the Detectives have to complete then is the Speed Bump, and thus, they ARE in 3rd once they hit their Speed Bump.
I think they can't be 4th, no matter how you see it.
But just after that you have a screen title saying that Dan and Jordan are in THIRD place, so that indicates that the cops are now in FOURTH. So did they lose the position by just doing nothing? And after Phil does all the intro to the Speed Bump, the editing cuts back to the brothers reading their Roadblock clue and are labled to be in Third. So it is just a matter of how the editing is going on. Obviously they did not show what was going on simultaneously by both teams, so for all we know Dan and Jordan actually opened their clue first. And as someone pointed out above, the Speed Bump is an extra task not part of the main stream of action so the team doing a Speed Bump is not actually part of the main stream and has no actual place in the race. And since Dan and Jordan are now Third, that means the Cops are Fourth. It is a confusing situation so I think that to be fair to all both Third and Fourth are correct answers.

What position are Michael & Louie when they get their speedbump clue?
The pertinent rule:
Quote
9. All answers will be decided by the aired footage in the episode, not the clips
In the "aired footage" we see Mike & Louie get and open their Speed Bump clue before we see Dan & Jordan open their Roadblock clue. This would put Mike and Louie in third place at that exact moment.
As soon as Dan & Jordan get and open their Roadblock clue, which probably happened mere seconds later, of course, Mike & Louie fall to fourth place.
I, in fact answered this question, "4" but if we go strictly by the "aired footage" rule, I think the correct answer is "3." (Dang those pesky rules!)

G-Man
As much as I really want to say fourth let me lay it down for you.
Louie (at least) is ahead of Dan & Jordan. Louie (his team) gets to the next stage of the race in third. That would be the next route marker. Of course it is very short-lived as in about 2 seconds Dan & Jordan pass them as that marker is not one they have to complete. And when they touch the roadblock clue, they then jump into 3rd.

Cops are third, however they have to complete the Speed Bump. BEFORE getting to the Speed Bump, the cops are in third, (that is the question we needed to answer), and the bros are in last. Then, the bros pass them because they do not need to complete the Speed Bump. I think it should be counted as they are in 3rd and not 4th, but this leads to disagreement.

1-2
3-4
5-6
I presume you mean minutes although you don't state it, or is it seconds? or hours? And what if the time difference is 2 and a half minutes? or 4 minutes and 15 seconds?
Does any racer tell us how much money...
By tell do you mean actually speak or say out loud how much money, not by showing the amount on one of the route info cards.?
Do we see Dan and Jordan get Business Class Seats?
Do we have to see them actually sitting in the seats, or just moving up into Business Class without sitting down?
At the tower rappel do we see any two teams at the same time?
Do you mean do we see two teams in the same shot rappeling the tower? What about two persons from different teams watching their team mates rappel in the same shot? Or does it count that we see first one team member rappeling and then another one, so that we can assume that both teams are reppeling at the same time but not in the same shot, does this count as the same time?
\
Does the chest task have a musical element to it?
Clarify. If they are carrying the chest to the Music Hall does this count as a "musical element"?
How many clues TO teams open in this episode?
Do you mean how many clues does one team open in this episode, or how many clues do all the teams open? One team may open 5 clues, but all three team may open 15 clues. (And you do mean DO and not TO. And what if we only see one team open three clues?

How much time seperates etc.I will clarify any time question for minutes, hours, ect.
1-2

If the option is 1-2 or 3-4 for a time question (say for minutes) if the answer would be 2 minutes 45 seconds then the current answer would be 1-2.
Does any racer tell us how much money, they need to speak it.
Do we see Dan & Jordan get Business Class seats.
No we don't have to see them set. But it can't be just them talking about it after the fact, or another team bitching about it. We need some footage of it occurring. Like talking to a Flight Attendant, or moving seats, ect.
At the tower rappel.
I mean do we see any footage of two teams in the same shot at that location. It could be one team rappelling and another team getting to the location. It could be both people watching (at that site). It doesn't have to be the persons actually performing the task. But we need to see people from both teams.
If the chest has musical instruments in it, or its delivered to a musical site, that would count.
How many clues TO teams open in this episode?
And yes I will change that to "do". I guess I should have put how many route markers do teams get to (as each route marker typically has a clue in an envelope that has to be open.
I don't want you to count one envelope per team. For example when teams leave the Pit Stop we (almost always) see teams opening their clue. That would count as one (not three one for each of the teams). Then one for the next clue (even if we see 3 teams open them), ect, ect.

If after Brent climbs Coit Tower but can't get the clue, and when he comes back down production or someone else tells him that he had already done six roadblocks so his climb does not count and Caite now has to climb the tower, does this constitute a "penalty" or just a dumb stupid move by the models?
Call it a dumb stupid move (aren't penalties served at the end of the leg?)

It's highly unlikely but no5 impossible. Right now there has been 12 RBs done so if there is 2 RBs this leg then someone has to have 7 RBs and this has only happened with Lynn and Karyln of TAR 10 (because they didn't take FF while the other F3 did)
Post by: mswood on May 09, 2010, 02:28:26 PM
That would be the only logical reason for Brent (scared of heights) to do this. If another RB already happened and Caite did it forcing Brent to do this one. But since thats alogical reason, I doubt it applies to this team.If after Brent climbs Coit Tower but can't get the clue, and when he comes back down production or someone else tells him that he had already done six roadblocks so his climb does not count and Caite now has to climb the tower, does this constitute a "penalty" or just a dumb stupid move by the models?What I want to know is why is Brent doing this.

Below are what I believe are the correct answers and a couple I need help on. The main issue is any question about the rappel. Well there was no rappel. So either no points for those four questions, or I count the descent as rappel. Its up to the masses on this one. My gut is not to count it.
15 Points – Which racer states the title, “Huger then Huge.”
0 points - 5 people answered this question - Dan
15 Points – Which team cuts in line?
0 points - 14 people answered this question - Dan & Jordan
15 Points – Do we see Dan & Jordan get Business class seats?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - Yes
And thank God I actually put it in the game as Seats (not tickets).
15 Points – How much time separates Brent & Caite and Jet & Cord in leaving the Pit Stop (in minutes?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - 11 minutes or more 2:37am to 3:11am 34 minutes
15 Points – How much time separates Jet & Cord and Dan & Jordan in leaving the Pit Stop?
0 points - 3 people answered this question - 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 59 minutes
3:11am to 6:00am 2 hours and 49 minutes
10 Points – Are all departure times given?
0 points - 17 people answered this question - Yes
10 Points – Does any racer tell us (verbally) how much money they receive at the start of this leg?
0 points - 14 people answered this question - No
10 Points – Which racer is the first to be shown holding a route marker (not counting the one given at the Pit Stop)?
0 points - 7 people answered this question - Jordan, This really appears to be Jordan, even though Dan is at the site first and it looks like he has something in his hand (but its as he is still moving slightly towards it, and we never see it open). But we do absolutely see Jordan with it.
10 Points – Do we get both a detour and a roadblock in this episode?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - No
10 Points – At the tower rappel do we see any two teams at the same time?
0 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes
Not a Rappel, but if you want me to count it the answer would be Yes.
10 Points – Is the Chest task a
0 points - 14 people answered this question - General Task
10 Points – Does the Chest task have a musical element to it?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Yes, delivery to a music site.
10 Points – Does the Chest task have a memory challenge to it (and no navigation doesn’t count)?
0 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes
10 Points – Do we see all three teams performing all the tasks?
0 points - 3 people answered this question - No We don't see Brent & Caite perform the Music Hall Task
5 Points – Which racer performs the rappel?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - Brent
OK, the real answer is no answer. There is no rappel and thus all questions should be nothing. But if you guys and gals want I will count their descent as a rappel (it isn't) if you want it to count it would be Brent. My personal feelings is no points for these questions.
5 Points – Which racer performs the rappel?
0 points - 17 people answered this question - Cord
Correct answer is nothing as there is no rappel. But...
5 Points – Which racer performs the rappel?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - Dan
Correct answer is nothing as there is no rappel (Who knew). But depending on what the masses say it's either nothing or Dan.
10 Points – How many times are Brent & Caite awarded 1st (in this episode)?
0 points - 5 people answered this question - 1, Leaving the Pit Stop
10 Points – How many times are Jet & Cord awarded 1st (in this episode)?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - None
10 Points – How many times are Dan & Jordan awarded 1st (in this episode)?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - 6 or more
Getting to Presidio, getting to RB, completing RB, Getting to Lucas Art, Getting to Music Hall, Completing task at Music Hall. THats 6, so thtas solid, but would we also count Phil stating they have won, even though it isn't subtitled out? Not that it matters.
10 Points – How many times does Dan say he loves Jordan?
0 points - 6 people answered this question - 1, Once after winning. And can I just say no matter who I wanted to win that I actually really loved how both brother teams treated each other throughout the entire race.
10 Points – Does Carol & Brandy get in Brent & Caite face at the Mat?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - Yes, and Shame on them for not clapping as they arrived (Carol), and Shame on Phil for bringing it up, Shame on Carol for making faces, and for even talking. Totally and completely uncalled for, behavior of a classless person. This and former racers typing out hate mail for teams to read during All Stars. Makes me ashamed to watch the show.
10 Points – Do all teams make a Star Wars reference (outside of reading from a clue)?
0 points - 8 people answered this question - No, I don't here Brent or Caite make any reference to star wars. And seriously Jordan you haven't watched Star Wars????

15 Points – During some Part of this episode do we get a memory task (memory of the events of the race)?
0 points - 17 people answered this question - Yes, not much of one, but still counts.
15 Points – How many clues (one per location, not one per team) do teams open in this episode (for example the leaving the Pit Stop clue counts as one clue, not three)?
- 7, Clue leaving the Pit Stop, Clue at the Presidio, Clue at Coit Tower, Clue after completing RB, Clue at Lucas Arts, Clue when arriving at American Music Hall, Clue after putting teams in order directing you to Finish Line.
10 Points – When first seeing the Finish Line, Whom do we see first?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - A group shot of the eliminated teams & Phil. Out first shot is Of the Right side groups of teams (starting with Grandma and Grand Daughter ending with Classless Carol, but you can also see (in freeze frame) the right side of Phil's body. You can't see the face, but the clothes are a match.
15 Points – How many times is Tiara Gate brought up in this episode (Referring to of course Caite’s Pageant)?
0 points - 4 people answered this question - None
Ok, need help. I said Episode (I actually meant leg), as I don't usually count things from the previously on segment. For the real episode I don't think its actually mentioned. THe closest is about Caite trying to prove that she is smart (she failed). But she never mentions her pageant experience.

0 points - 3 people answered this question - Average
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Poor

10 Bonus Points – In August/ September we try to keep the streak alive, which season do you think has the best single episode for Emmy to judge?

I thought there was a streak of "I love you bro"s at the Coit TowerThere was it was Jordan saying that to Dan. But Dan only said he loved his brother once (and that was in after the race footage). Kind of surprised actually that it wasn't more. They are very open with the "l" word.
Post by: SuzuKen on May 09, 2010, 11:24:10 PM
I think most of knew "the rappel" referred to the Coit Tower ascent that had been spoiled, so I would score it that way.
Ditto. Think it's sort of obvious that rappel refers to the Tower task (was only identified as an ascent in the later preview clips?)

If you're counting the leaving the pitstop as one time they got a awarded 1st this episode, then the above question must include the recap in the episode as well isn't it? Because technically, besides being tagged as first when leaving the pitstop, Brent and Caite were hardly even first nor second after they landed in San Francisco.

10 Points – How many times are Brent & Caite awarded 1st (in this episode)?Nope as the leg starts with teams leaving the Pit Stop. They are (and this happens in every episode I think for at least the first team) credited with 1st place, and the time they leave.

We see them get them as they are in them.
I personally understand "getting them" by talking to flight attendants or something like that. They got the seats, of course, but we don't see them getting them.
Post by: mswood on May 10, 2010, 12:12:40 PM
Post by: gingerman28 on May 10, 2010, 02:52:51 PM
As we see them get those seats its enough for me. Hell in the thread when asked I even said if we saw them just talk to a flight attendant about it it would count, since we see them talk about it and we see them actually in said seats thats plenty.
Actually we hear Dan saying that they moved up to FIRST CLASS seats. So if we take his word for it we DO NOT SEE THEM IN BUSINCESS CLASS SEATS. But he is bragging a bit. They are sitting in the last row of the middle section of United Business Class seats on a Boeing 777, those usually reserved for the crew since they do not recline as much as other seats in the section. Also in United First Class, you will not find seats this much together on the 777 So even though Dan claims to be in First Class (liitle does he know what First Class is really like) he and Jordan are in Business Class.
The question is: "When first seeing the Finish Line, Whom do we see first?" When we first SEE the finish line it is in Phil's intro and the shot starts off with him standing alone on the matt, then the camera pulls back and we see all the eliminated racers in Candlestick Park. There is nothing in the question that says where in the program do we first see the finish line.
The question is: "How many times is Tiarra Gate brought up in this episode (referring to of course Caite's Pageant), If you count being mentioned in the intro to the three teams, then you have to count the answer above to the finish line. Or both not. Can't have one with out the other. And actually the Pageant was never mentioned, just that she was a former Miss Teen South Carolina.
Agree that Brent and Caite never mentioned anything about "Star Wars".
Technically, you should not award any points about the RAPPELLING since it was not Rappelling, but ASCENDING. You have to go by what is seen in the program not by that which might be indentified wrongly in some "spoiler" or other insider stuff which a person who does not depend upon spoilers would not have seen. The official CBS previews of th is episode just showed persons on the side of Coit Tower and you could not tell whether they were going up or down at the time. Seems to me this was just a very tricky mswood type of question to keep everyone in the game honest. Good going, mswood. In future games we will all be alert to you tricky little moves.
Post by: mswood on May 10, 2010, 09:33:45 PM
Thank you G-Man, I did forget that I have stated (at one time) that questions are for the leg themselves (not the intros, previews, or previously on footage) unless the question specifically mentions them (for example this is the first year I didn't include a question about the changing intros.
Post by: mswood on May 10, 2010, 09:37:06 PM
On the rappelling questions. I can't award zero (the game wont let me). So its either points all around or I count the ascenders as rappelling.
On this one I really do want to hear what everyone thinks. Its either points for everyone, or points based on it being an ascender.
I really do lean for points for everything (as I did mean rappelling, but I also thought that was what they were doing).
I can't believe none of you corrected me before the game, your all fired!

If no one had any complaints, then we tacitly agreed with your interpretation. Only award points to those who chose the right person (not that it will matter probably in the final standings).

Both you and Joab would have done fairly well. But even missing one week is exceptionally hard to catch up on.
My only problem is that it's way too easy (and tempting) to view the spoilers. I'd like to see a race where I knew all of the locations and tasks, but none of the teams and their performances beforehand.
Post by: mswood on May 10, 2010, 10:53:30 PM
But take All Stars, I loved the sitings we got from Izad. But I wish we never got the boot list. Even if Peach and Puddin know (and I think they probably have) I don't think they wouldn't be the ones to give out that info.
Post by: kwando1313 on May 10, 2010, 10:57:34 PM
With an average of 96.25 points per round.
That's not bad for somebody that started in 26th...
Post by: Caelestor on May 10, 2010, 10:57:58 PM
Its a hard one, I mean I love spoilers. But sometimes, I think we actually get a little to much.

Yeah, the reason why I say that is watching the episode knowing who's going to be eliminated sort of takes the suspense and enjoyment out of watching. Last unspoiled season for me was TAR 14, and the race hasn't been the same since.

Thats awesome RandyRules.:lol: Forgot I posted that!
Don't know if it was Awesome, but maybe rather duhhh! :js:

Well done.
Post by: SuzuKen on May 11, 2010, 12:42:51 AM
oh wow! I'm actually in the top half even though I just played the last two weeks? *yay me*
and thanks to mswood for running the game and thinking up all those questions! ^_^ :hearts:
Post by: Caelestor on May 11, 2010, 01:33:48 AM
Can't wait for next season! :wohoo:
Post by: RudyRules on May 11, 2010, 02:25:26 AM
And the rigged results for this week (thanks to the nice fat bribe I got from Caelestor ) are here below.Playing unspoiled and missing two eps, I did better than expected.

I missed 3 weeks. :lol:

TOP 15... i was aiming for TOP 20 ONLY. :lol:
Beat Coutzy at the last minute. :neener:
Post by: David on May 11, 2010, 10:24:26 AM
Good enough for a first time, IMO! Happy about the results!
Post by: Hooky on May 11, 2010, 02:14:05 PM
This edition was anything but predictable, so I would like to congratulate you for winning what I would consider one of the most difficult seasons yet. :wohoo:
Thank you mswood for two seasons of fun! Thanks for your patience in debating the questions! Let's hope next season's questions are so easy to misinterpret, though. Things went a little too far this season. :lol3:
And although I wish I didn't have to do this, I am retiring from this game (either indefinitely or for a very long time) to give some more attention to real life. So thanks for all the fun everyone, even if I didn't play for very long. :waves:
