Title: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on September 20, 2010, 09:10:43 PM
http://targame.realityfanforum.com/

Game is now line.  Remember you need to follow the link to the game page.  Here you will need to create a id and password (if you haven't played before, or if you just want a new one).  You can use your same site name, or you can confuse the living hell out of me by picking something new.  You will need to sign in each time you play.  Remember to always hit the submit button when you put your answers in.  Once you have done that you can sign back in and you choices will still be marked (you can still change them).  

I strongly suggest you double check that your answer are in, as I have no control over the program.  And usually once or twice a year someone loses a week.

The game is open until 755pm eastern time unless otherwise noted (even though this week is starting a half hour later I am still closing the board at the normal time.  Usually the only time we close earlier is when Canada gets it an hour early.

If you have any questions on the wording of the questions feel free to ask.  You can do it privately through private message (where you it will be kept private) or you can use the game thread where all questions will be answered public.
 :jumpy:

Lets Play.  
Good luck everyone.





Ok, everyone I am running a little behind schedule (actually I think thats about par for the course for me) in getting this season's pick'em game up and going.

Just some early notes.

The questions should be posted each week on this thread (to reference), there will be a separate link (when its up) at the top of this thread, where you can go to sign up for the game and where you enter your answers for each week of the game (as well as to see how great you are doing, because I know everyone is going to do great).

Here is the hoped for (and never kept) schedule.

1.  New game up no later then the Tuesday before the new episode.  

2.  After the episode I will post what I believe to be the correct answers before people discover that I have apparently been hitting the bong once too many times.  

3.  Hopefully by the Tuesday following the broadcast the scores for that week will be posted.

This year I am going to try and be consistent with the points awarded for questions (except for the finale episode which is always worth more points, as I need a chance to catch up).

A question that only has two possible answers will only be worth 5 points.
A question with three to 5 possible answers will be worth 10 points.
A question with 6 to 10 possible answers will be worth 15 points
A question with more then 10 possible answers will be worth 20 points (this will happen this week and perhaps next week).

As I like to have you guys be active in playing I also will award points for people who point out when I am wrong (and not not with grammar or spelling otherwise everyone would already have about 3,000 points) at scoring the actual game (In other words on the thread I gave the correct answer but when I entered it into the system I messed up, it does happen and this helps correct my errors).  Ad also when I give what I believe are my finals answers, if you can show me that I am wrong you can also earn points.  These are worth one little point.  

Inmost weeks I will also ask a bonus question (where any answer given is awarded points) just to get some feedback about how you feel the race is for this season.  This is usually 5 points.

Question regarding

Quote
Do we hear more then one person say (not counting Phil) “Amazing Race”?

Do they have to say "Amazing Race" on its own, or will it count if its said in a sentence, such as (off the top of my head) "They don't call it it The Amazing Race for nothing"

Also for the driving questions, should there be an option for no self driving?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on September 21, 2010, 02:52:08 PM
Coutzy

I will add an option for no self driving.  As to the first question, any statement that includes amazing race counts.  What wouldn't count is this:  we are on a rave and it's amazing!

But things like:  I can't believe were on the amazing race.  Or it's not called the amazing race for nothing!  Just as a couple examples.

OMG.  I was just checking out last season's game (to clarify how I might word a few things) and look what I found.

Quote
10 Free Points - We are four episodes (and with all of season 15 as well) what do you think are chances this year are for winning the emmy?
0 points - 16 people answered this question - Please, it's in the bag
0 points - 4 people answered this question - It's as good as always but my God Survivor is having an absolutely awesome year.
0 points - 1 people answered this question - I Think it will go to Top Chef
0 points - 0 people answered this question - I Think Project Runaway came back way to strong
0 points - 1 people answered this question - I think any of those three managed stronger episodes then what TAR as produced this year.


I am the only person who picked the last option.  I am going to hell, damn traitor.

My God it was all my fault.....  And to add insult to injury what episode did I ask this question on?  Why it was the episode that they nominated......

I hate myself....

Time for some more crazy corrections and clarifications! :lol:

Quote
20 Points – Which team is first shown (full team, and not in Credits)?

This is referring to Phil's introduction of the teams or any time we might happen to see them before that, right?

Kill Me Now.

What's funny is that I actually read through all of last season's post just to try and keep that down to a dull roar.

Now on to the question.  It counts all footage except for the opening credits.  So which team is the first full team shown? 

If the first screen shot is of 4 racers, yet only one full team is in that shot (then its that full team).

If the first shot is just two racers (from the same team) then thats easy.

If the first shot has 6 people in it and it includes 2 or more full teams then that is an option.

Well, that was certainly a predictable first leg. It should get me some points. :yess:
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on September 28, 2010, 12:42:32 AM
Ok here are what I are my picks for the correct answers  (let the feeding frenzy begin).  And can I say how much I love longer opening episodes.


5 Points – Do we hear how much money teams are given for this leg?

Yes, 100 US said by both Connor & Jonathan

5 Points – Do we hear more then one person say (not counting Phil) “Amazing Race”?

Yes, several people say it  including Brook, Mallory, Kat, ect and we also have Connor & Jonathan sing it.

5 Points – Do we hear Connor & Jonathan Singing?

Yes, we sure do.

20 Points – Which team is first shown (full team, and not in Credits)?


Two or more full teams are shown, before Phil introduces the teams, we see a long shoot of the back of the boats the first one we see has Jill & THomas and Gary & Mallory (though they aren't introduced first).

5 Points – Does Phil explain what the “Express Pass” Is at the starting line?

Yes, he sure does, and color me shocked.

10 Points – During the Intro Credits, what best describes the last full team shown?


Female/ Female Friend Team, Katie & Rachel


10 Points – Are the first three teams that are shown getting in the airport, the first three teams to depart the airport (Starting city)?

Yes, first teams in airport are Ron & Tony, Chad & Stephanie, and Jill & THomas.  First three teams on the flight and thus to leave Ron & Tony, Jill & Thomas, and barely Chad & Stephanie

10 Points – What best describes the task at Stonehenge?

A General Route Marker


10 Points – Which of the following teams is first to arrive at the first route marker?

Nat & Kat, who are indeed 1st to the first route marker


15 Points – Which of the following teams complete the Watermelon tasks first?


Brook & Claire, in 3rd


5 Points – Do any teams get told they have gotten a penalty?

No

5 Points – Does any team fail to complete a task?

Yes
No

OK I want input.  We don't see Ron & Tony complete the general task or perform the RB.  BUt that doesn't mean they failed to complete the task.  The question isn't if they were shown doing task, but were they shown not being able to complete a task?  I am leaning No.  But I am willing to hear opinion.

15 Points – How many women drive during this leg?

5 Brook, Nat, Stephanie, Andie and Rachel


10 Points – Which all male team finishes the leg first?

Connor & Jonathan, from dead last to third

10 Points – Which male/female team finishes the leg first?

Jill & Thomas, and they do finish 1st


10 Points – Which all female team finishes the leg first?

Nat & Kat, Doctors finish 2nd

15 Points – What best describes the Express Pass?

Something else, the ability to skip one task or general activity up to the end of leg 8.

10 Points – Which best describes the last team to check into the Pit Stop?

A Male/ Male Team, Tony & Gary  1st to worse.  First team I believe since All Stars.


10 Points – Which best describes the first team to check into the Pit Stop?

A Female/ Male Team Jill & Thomas

10 Points – How many men perform the watermelon task?

6, Thomas, Connor, Chad, Gary, Kevin and Nick.  We never see either Ron or Tony use a watermelon, so based off of footage we can't say he did.  WHich is a good thing.  Because the final option all of them isn't a correct option either as not all men performed the task.  Just one from each team with a man on it.


15 Points – How many spots do Brook & Claire loss performing the watermelon task?

1, started 2nd finished task 3rd.


5 FREE POINTS - Sight unseen, who would you like to see win this darn thing?

Andie & Jenna
Brook & Claire
Chad & Stephanie
Connor & Jonathan
Gary & Mallory
Jill & Thomas
Katie & Rachel
Michael & Kevin
Nat & Kat
Nick & Vicki
Ron & Tony

My pick based off intro videos was Connor & Jonathan.

No...

Quote
TVGuide.com: How far behind were you? Did you get to finish all the tasks?
Ron: We actually did get to finish all the tasks. It was unfortunate they didn't show it. Once we arrived at Eastnor Castle, we knew we were the last team. We landed around 6:50 a.m. and we literally drove eight hours that day. ... We didn't know how far behind [the last team] we were.

And somewhere Ron talked about riding the horse (ES?? maybe) so think he did the RB.

According to the CBS recap, Ron completed it, so I say all teams completed their tasks.

What about the boat task? While they appear to be swimming across, the larger of the two (Ron? Tony?) Can be clearly heard saying "We tried"

Given that the only context of the statement is that they are swimming (In what (to me) appears to be the direction of the next route marker) it appears to me that they failed to complete the boat task as per instructions, which would mean that a team did fail to complete a task.

For the record, I picked no for my answer.

Peach and caelestor

We can't use info outside of the episodes so I can't use the clips as proof.  Yes Ron is on the horse, but we don't see him but we don't see them complete either task.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: jerseydude on September 28, 2010, 11:37:20 AM
I believe that we should either

a) give all the people points
or
b) give no points at all.

From the episode, we cannot prove that either they did or did not finish, so personally I think that we should give no points at all since they weren't proven to either finish or not finishing all tasks.

I agree that the answer should be "no".  If Phil had met them on the battlefield and told them they need not finish since all other teams were in, then the answer would be "yes".  This is what has happened in several previous TARs; but in this ep although we do not see them actually finishing the boat drill nor the watermelon gig, we do see them arriving at the finish mat and being told by Phil that they were last.  So if the producers follow previous procedures, Ron and Toni did actually finish the two tasks.

For future questions like that one, you should try asking if "we see all teams completing all tasks" instead.

I agree. We don't have any evidence to believe that they didn't complete the task, plus we have evidence that they did complete it, even if that evidence isn't from the episode itself. I say go with what actually happened, not what the editors made it look like.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: kwando1313 on September 28, 2010, 10:09:06 PM
Agreed. We saw them going to the pitstop, and we saw no evidence of them being mercy Philiminated, thus, they must have completed all tasks.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on September 28, 2010, 10:21:03 PM
I am going to assume that they did indeed complete all tasks.  But the Race isn't consistent in how they treat this.

Phil doesn't always go and eliminate a team at the point they no longer can complete a task.

Nor does he always mention if a team did quit a task before they get the boot.

It occurred twice in the tenth season (just off the top of my head) with Kellie & Jamie in leg two and Peter & Sarah in Leg 6.  But in Kellie & Jamie's case they openly say (Phil doesn't) that they quit the task and this was at the Mat.  I don't think they ever tell us that Petter & Sarah never performed the detour (they didn't where they normally would have taken out a detour instruction clue, they were given a clue directing them to the Pit Stop, this was stated after the race, they were even directed by crew to that location, they were so bad off).  Those stick out because it happened twice in one season.  

But even still I am counting "No" as the correct answer.

I am assuming based on Ron (I think) riding the horse, that they made it through the water task, and then actually made it through the Watermelon Roadblock.

The other issue is this now makes 7 men performing the roadblock.  Though the options given were 6 men, or All of them.  Though all men didn't perform the RB, every team with a man on it did (and that was my actual intent).  So i am taking all of them as the right answer.

15 Points – Which team gains the most positions when they check into the Pit Stop?

Does this question mean "Which teams gains the most positions between the last task of the leg and checking into the Pit Stop?" or "Which teams gains the most positions in relation to their final placing last leg (i.e. checking into the Leg 1 Pit Stop)?"

HI Joab.  And really I haven't kept up to much with spoilers this year (been to busy), but I always have to go through them at the start of each week so that I don't just give a huge lead to those who do follow spoilers.

But with my luck it seems that the detectives fill in a lot of blanks by the time Sunday comes.  But I try.

The only time they mentioned it (to my recollection) the phrasing was "You don't wanna be last and not use the Express Pass, so it's always in the back of your mind." (Or something to that effect.) Given that it was also in a confessional, I vote Mentioned in Passing.

Missy Wood, I don't think you included this question in the final "official" game page.  At least it doesn't show up when I click on this week's game.

I agree on the other question.  Thomas only mentions having the Express Pass and how to use it in passing and not in relation to any particular task.

If Michael & Kevin had finished in 4th instead of 3rd, I would've gotten another 20 points and been in better shape than I am (I predicted Chad & Stephanie would have a big week and jump up the most spots this week). Oh well, still in 7th. I'll be better next week. This was a tough one!

Like MugCostanza, I counted on Chad & Stephanie doing better this leg, but wasnt counting on Michael & Kevin making such a big jump.     I also got taken in by the the misleading Promo Monkeys making me believe that Thomas & Jill really considered using the Express Pass.  Oh, and then there was one question I just forgot to answer :groan:

But aside from all of that, I did really well :lol3:

5 Points – When Michael tells Kevin he can’t do it, do they lose more then two positions in completing that task?

Yes
No
It was between tasks

What happens if Michael says it at the detour? Do we only count teams that pass them at the detour Michael and Kevin choose?

Also how do we classify teams passing one another? As in one team getting the next clue before the team that started the task first or when one team is just shown ahead of the other after one was in the lead (such as in "currently in xth place")?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on October 09, 2010, 12:33:17 AM
Ok, this sucks. (and I am stupid).

I will have no real choice but to use starting task position and ending task position.  Unless the footage clearly shows the changing order during the task itself.  Clearly with the possibility of two teams working on different detours I wont be able to judge the difference between those teams except by starting and ending placement of task.  On the same task we might get footage that clearly shows more detail (and I will use that).  But on the other side I will have to stick with start and end positions (usually given for all teams).

Post by: georgiapeach on October 09, 2010, 11:36:05 PM
Could you clarify what "there is no Pitstop" means? Is that a TBC only, or does it include a NEL as well?

And for the record, what does "checking in to the Pitstop" mean?  :snicker:
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on October 10, 2010, 12:36:02 PM
Checking into the pitstop means what position Phil tells you your in.  If you arrive at the pit stop but in third and Phil says you have to go back out, or wait for penalty.  And when you complete the course or your penalty and Phil tells you your team number five.  Then thaats what position you are checked into the pit stop.  One further example in the rare case of zev and Justin who arrived in first Phil told them they are team number one, but they then discovered they had to go back out on the course and were eventually eliminated, that counts as checking into the pit stop as last.  Ie whatever their official standing for the leg.

A non elimination includes a pit stop, even if it's a mobile pit tsp which we saw in season sixteen.  A TBC has no pit stop.

Personally I really like a lot of teams (and after the first leg, can I just say by this stage I thought I would be hating on Chad, but these last two legs I have really, really liked Chad.  So of course there is next week), but for me its Connor & Jonathan.  I just really, really like their personality.

15 Points – Which team states the title, “In Phil We Trust”?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - Connor & Jonathan





A tough test this week MissyWood, but when or where did Connor & Jonathan say the title "In Phil We Trust"?  My hearing is failing me, I know, but I screened the tape twice an never heard anyone state the title.

I wonder if any of your players will break 100 this week.

G-Man it's start of the detour.  When the guys pick up the bound white clue (that has the sayings for the Language Arts side of the detour), Connor states ,"In Phil we Trust" before grabbing one.

This is a tricky one.  Actually Chad and Stephanie never "finish the task she is telling Chad she can't do   So there is no correct answer for this question.  At least I don't think so.

Post by: Caelestor on October 18, 2010, 05:10:40 PM
I'm doing nowhere near as well as during TAR 16. On the other hand, who cares? I'd rather miss a few questions and enjoy/be surprised by the quality of the show instead of watching something so predictable.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: kwando1313 on October 18, 2010, 08:43:24 PM
I think I did decently, but I'm glad this season is ACTUALLY unpredictable. There is no boring dominating team, the tasks are interesting, and there are (so far) no overused character fighting arches.

Sorry guys and Gals

But I have had a family emergency that has taken me away from home and I haven't yet seen last week's episode and I might not be home until this weekend.  So I won't be able to grade this week's Game, until then.

I will get questions up from my lap top for this week's game.  Hope it was a good episode.

MissyWood ya'll take care now, you hear?  We will survive not knowing who did what last week, you and your family take first place.  And the earth won't stop turning if we don't have a game for this week either.  In fact, I won't even knitpick it if we do.  Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family.

Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: Coutzy on October 21, 2010, 01:58:56 AM
Excellent Idea- Here's what I take to be correct (Use them or don't use em, its a starting point.)


15 Points – Which team states the title, “We should have brought gloves and butt pads”?

Michael & Kevin

5 Points –Do we see footage of the teams doing working on the school?

Yes

5 Points – Do teams have to drive themselves in cars this week?

Yes

5 Points – Do teams use dogsleds, or snowmachines as a form of general transportation (ie not part of the Roadblock, Detour, Speedbump) ?

No

15 Points – Which is the first team to complain about the cold?

Connor & Jonathan
Gary & Mallory
Chad & Stephanie
Katie & Rachel
Nick & Vicki
Brook & Claire
Jill & Thomas
Nat & Kat
Michael & Kevin
No one complains

(Unsure about this- I know a few teams mentioned the cold, but were they ever really complaining?)

10 Points – Where does the Speedbump take place?

Right before a general route marker

10 Points – What position are Michael & Kevin in when they get to the speedbump cluebox?

3-4

I believe the subtitle stated "Micae & Kevin- Currently in Fourth Place"

5 Points – Do any teams switch detours (they must start the first Detour and then leave it, for it to count)?

Yes, oh lord yes.

15 Points – What team completes the Roadblock first?

Michael & Kevin


5 Points – Is that team, the team that got the Roadblock clue first?

Yes

10 Points – What place are Chad & Stephanie when they start the Roadblock?

5-6
7-8

Back there somewhere, can't remember where.


15 Points – How many times do people fall off the dogsled?

None

I don't remember seeing anybody come off


5 Points – Do Jill & Thomas use the Express Pass?

Yes

10 Points – What position do Chad & Stephanie finish the task she is telling Chad she can’t do??

1-3
4-5
6-7
8 or worse

A tough question. Technically they never finish the task that she says she can't do. However, they finish the Detour seventh (Assuming Jill and Thomas using Express Pass counts as finishing ahead of them.)

10 Points – Which team ends the leg in better position?

Nick & Vicki

Congrats to Mswood on correctly picking the bottom 4.


10 Points – Which team checks into the Pit Stop in first Place?

Nat & Kat


5 Points – Do Nat & Kat finish the leg in the top 4?

Yes


10 Points – What position does Gary & Mallory end the leg at?

1-2

10 Points – What position does Michael & Kevin end the Leg at?

3-4


5 Points – Do any racers throw a snowball at another racer?

No

Not that I saw

10 Points –What couple is in “An unfortunate position and contemplate making a game changing decision”?

Jill & Thomas


I assume the EP is the "Game changing decision" feel free to argue otherwise.

5 Bonus Points – 3 episodes in which has been you favorite task?

Post by: MamaT on October 24, 2010, 09:32:00 PM
My thoughts, FWIW:

5 Points – Which racer states the title, “Tastes like a million dollars”?
Nat
Kat

Tricky, It sounded like Nat, but they subtitled it over a shot of Nat obviously not speaking, so...?

5 Points – Which racer is shown driving?
Chad
Stephanie
Both
Neither

We saw Chad drive a few times.

15 Points – Which team is Phil giving “the brow” to from the clips?
Nat & Kat
Gary & Mallory
Brook & Claire
Michael & Kevin
Jill & Thomas
Nick & Vicki
Chad & Stephanie
Katie & Rachel

I think it was while checking in Gary & Mallory.  He did it twice to tell them their position.

Are you sure about this one?
10 Points – What do teams have to do when they get to the top of the lift?
Start a task (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, ect), Fast Forward

My thoughts:

Nat
Kat

No clue at all.

5 Points – Which racer is shown driving?
Chad
Stephanie
Both
Neither

Again, no clue.


15 Points – Which team is Phil giving “the brow” to from the clips?
Nat & Kat
Gary & Mallory
Brook & Claire
Michael & Kevin
Jill & Thomas
Nick & Vicki
Chad & Stephanie
Katie & Rachel

Yup, Gary and Mallory were it.


10 Points – What do teams have to do when they get to the top of the lift?
Start a task (Roadblock, Detour, Intersection, Fast Forward, ect), Fast Forward

I would say both Start a Task and Get to a general route marker.

Why? Because the FF people started there. And to get a route marker for the rest.

Agree on all yours...

If lift=ascender, then when they get to the top, I was thinking they are still performing a task.

Starting is not the same as getting to the top...implies go down then come up to me.  ???

And even in England, lift does not= gondala. :lol:
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on October 24, 2010, 09:41:17 PM
Yeah that route marker had the start of the Fast Forward.  If it didn't include that it would have been a general route marker directing the teams to the next clue box which was for the Roadblock.  And since the Fast FOrward was part of the answer given. then thats the correct one.

As for Chad & Stephanie driving.  I saw two clips with Chad driving, but I don't see any footage of them driving before getting to the roadblock.  So I can't say if Stephanie drove as well.  they have both drove in an episode before so its possible.

On the title.  I couldn't tell while watching.  So have to wait. And I didn't really pay attention to the Mat so I missed the eye, and have to wait on that as well.

The one with dark hair. Can't remember which.

The eyebrow was given to Gary and Mallory, twice to signify their coming second.
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on October 27, 2010, 09:12:56 PM
Yes its Gary & Mallory getting the brow.

Chad is the one driving in both the early and later portions of the leg.

ANd though we don't see Kat talking (she's not on camera), it sounds like her, so I am counting it.

And On the task question at the top of the mountain, since two answers are in fact correct I am awarding points to start of task (Fast Forward), and general route marker.  Because both are correct.

Since MamaT was the first one to voice this correction 1 bonus point will be awarded to you.

Iin question no. 4, we never see anyone actually getting into a cab.  We see Brook and Claire already seated in the cab.  In the previous scene if you look closesly you do see two people with red baseball caps (Chad and Steph) approaching a cab and opening the door.  But it is too quick and too far away to actually tell who the couple is.   Oh, I love to nitpick :hearts:

You can now only pick one team, though of course their will be several teams that give you a correct answer.  So fairly easy five points there.

I wanted to suggest that too, but i don't really know if your system program actually allows that or not. IMO, i thought it will be a disaster to score. :lol:

Post by: mswood on November 10, 2010, 10:21:53 PM
OK I will need some input on this weeks answers.  Yikes.
Questions that I am not solid on are in bold.

10 Points – Which racer states the title, “I Want To Be In The Circus, That's Where I Belong”?
Brook & Claire


5 Points –Are all teams fully equalized during the start of this leg?
Yes. at the locked gate to the circus

5 Points – Is there an Hours of Operation seen during this leg?
Yes, closed sign and later opened gate at circus

5 Points – Do teams need (are instructed by clue) to take a bus during this leg?
No, Lord I can't believe I fell for this.

5 Points – Does this leg have a general task (not counting travelling)?
Yes
No

Most of the general task is walking or climbing, but part of it is the puzzle matching the miniature to the next location and as so many teams (read all of them) had trouble with it.  I am leaning yes, 1 bonus point if you convince me that I am wrong.

10 Points – Which comes first?
Hours of Operation Notice
Point of Equalization

Both are in fact the same.  The closed sign, is the equalization point.


10 Points – How many teams switch detour tasks?
2, Jill & THomas (really Thomas' main weakness is not sticking with a task)
& Chad & Stephanie


10 Points – What position are Michael & Kevin when they start their roadblock??
2nd

10 Points – How many teams complete the Roadblock while Michael & Kevin are performing the Roadblock?
5, Nat & Kat , Brook & Claire, Nick & Vicki, Jill & Thomas and Gary & Mallory


5 Points – Does Nick lie to Michael & Kevin?
Yes, by including the words "Take your chances" and "That's all I could find up there", Nick lies.  Now if he would have just said I saw a sign that said DS 13 then he would have mislead but not technically lied.

10 Points – Which team gains the most positions from the start of the “circus” task to the end of that task?

We don't get footage clearly showing when teams get their clue, or when the decide which task, or even put their noses on.  I either award points to everyone, or depend on the partial data given by order of opening clues, and mixing it the partial footage of teams deciding which task.

If I go with mixing the partial footage its Nick & Vicki (which shows them deciding last, and they finish third).  I am leaning with awarded points to all answers as the footage truly doesn't provide a clear answer.  If you can convince me differently 1 bonus point.

5 Points – Does any racer mention the word Bozo?
No

10 Points – How many women on the female/male teams perform the Roadblock?
1, and that would be Stephanie as Nick, Thomas and Gary are the other M/F teams racers who perform the RB.


10 Points – Which team is first to complete the Roadblock?
Nat & Kat


5 Points – Which team don't make a critical error and misread a clue (they're will be multiple correct answers)?
Jill & Thomas
Nat & Kat
Gary & Mallory
Nick & Vicki

Any of these are correct as the others all misread the clue (even if Brook and Claire do correct their error they still made the initial mistake.

5 Points – Do any of the teams that finish the leg in positions 1-3 make that error?
Yes, Brook & Claire

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


I say free points to everyone.  Chad & Stephanie are the 2nd to last team shown making a choice, but we only see a few actually make their choice and since they already have noses on (part of the task), we have no real idea.  Free Points to anyone who convinces me not to give everyone points.

10 Points – Which team is first to complete the “circus task”?
Brook & Claire


10 Points – Which teams gain the most positions from the start of the leg to when they officially are checked in by Phil?
Nick & Vicki, going from last to third.


10 Points – Which teams loses the most positions from the start of leg to when they officially are checked in by Phil?
More then one team, both Jill & Thomas and Michael & Kevin lose 4 positions this week.


5 Points – Are any two teams on the Mat with Phil at the same time?
Yes, we even see their feet its Brook & Claire and Nick & Vicki

10 Points – Which team is eliminated this week?
Michael & Kevin, the previews nailed the eliminated team, that doesn't happen often


10 Points – Which team (that isn't eliminated) is not featured in the preview for next week (only needs show one person from a team)
Nat & Kat
Chad & Stephanie
Nick & Vicki, I dont see these three teams


5 Points – Is the first team to get the clue to make their way to the Pit Stop, the team that is officially number 1?
yes

5 Points – Does any team receive a penalty this week (no the Speedbump doesn’t count)?
Yes, and its about time

5 Points - Do Nat & Kat finish the leg in third or better position?
Yes

5 Free Points – Season 18 is expected to feature returning racers out of last seasons which team would you want to see back the most?
Dan & Jordan
Jet & Cord
Brent & Caite
Louie & Michael
Carol & Brandy
Steve & Allie
Jordan & Jeff
Joe & Heidi
Monique & Shawne
Jody & Shannon
Dana & Adrian

5 Free Points – Out of season 15?

OK, I'll give it a shot....
There was no general task, because the teams  didnt have to do anything.  Walking to a clue box is not a task.  The miniature was a clue.  Figuring out a clue is not a task, even if teams did have trouble with it.  (Remember  the good old days when solving clues was an integral and regular part of the game?)

Convinced?

As much as it pains me to say it, teams DID search for the next location using binoculars. They were never directed to go to the Church Over Spilled Blood, therefore it is a general task.

We don't get footage clearly showing when teams get their clue, or when the decide which task, or even put their noses on.  I either award points to everyone, or depend on the partial data given by order of opening clues, and mixing it the partial footage of teams deciding which task.

If I go with mixing the partial footage its Nick & Vicki (which shows them deciding last, and they finish third).  I am leaning with awarded points to all answers as the footage truly doesn't provide a clear answer.  If you can convince me differently 1 bonus point.

For this, I have a very long winded answer, enjoy. And I also reference this screenshot repeatedly.

(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm109/Coutzy_2008/Detour.jpg)

Firstly, we know that Nick and Vicki were definitely last in arriving at the circus. In the cap of the scramble for the cluebox, they are the only team not seen, meaning they are either off to the left, or to the right. Keeping in mind that the cluebox sits behind Michael and Kev, and that teams approached from the right, I think it is safe to assume that Nick and Vicki are off screen to the right, behind Gary. This would make them last in arriving to the Detour start point.

Secondly, since we know Nick and Vicki finished third, we know that they gained 4 spots. This means that any team that finished 4th or below could not have gained 4 or more spots.

That leaves us with Brooke and Claire, who finish the task first, and Nat and Kat who finish second.

Not only do we see Brooke and Claire open the clue third, but as per the shown cap they are clearly the closest team to the cluebox when Mike and Kev are opening their clue (2nd) From this we can conclude that Brooke and Claire open 3rd and finish first, a gain of 2 spots.

More difficult is Nat and Kat. One of the two is directly behind Brooke and Claire (Partially obscured by Mike) and the other is behind Mike's right shoulder. From these, we can assume they are in front of Chad and Stephanie, shown behind them, and clearly they are in front of Gary. This places Nat and Kat at either 4th or 5th going into the circus task.

Even if we take Nat and Kat at 5th, they still only gain 3 spots by finishing 2nd.

So- in summary.

Nick and Vicki- 7th->3rd (4 spots)
Nat and Kat- 4th/5th->2nd (2/3 spots)
Brooke and Claire- 3rd->1st (2 spots)

Even Gary and Mallory could not have made up more than 2 spots if they went from 6th (In front of only Nick and Vicki, which I suspect is what happened) to 4th.

Teams were instructed to search for their next location. In season 1 it was enough to constitute a Roadblock, so by that precedent it must be a task.

But you are forgetting a very serious aspect.  Getting a clue doesn't equal starting a task.  Teams have to get the clue, we can have a reasoned guess about this order, but that doesn't even mean that those teams read the clue in the same speed, or made their choice of task in the same order as getting their clue.  Or even getting their noses, as this appeared to be the actual start point of the tasks at the circus because everyone had their noses before getting to either side of the detour.

Those are the primary reasons that I think I have to give free points.  THe best we can do is guess about getting the clue, not the task itself.

That may be, but in similar situations, they would include the "Currently in..." subtitles, which I think would be used as the point of reference in this case, if they were included.

Also, if we cast our mind back to TAR 15, where a different problem cropped up, but I am using it to get the 10 damn points that I desperately need to claw back towards the top 10 as precedent.

10 Points - Which team loses the most placings completing the Detour?

Sam & Dan (Used From start of Detour and using the same Criteria of last week of when they get to a point where they need to don equipment or change for a task), fairest I could be.  Sam & Dan drop one position due to the sudden loss of blood from their brains to their downstair brains.

Since the circus was literally meters away, wouldn't the Detour start point be the moment they reached the cluebox? The fact that they had to wear red noses could also constitue "donning equipment" for a task. Given that they were supposed to put the noses on immediately, I would consider the moment they open the clue to be the Detour start point.

I think climbing up to the tower and looking for the next location (with a tricky miniature building at the back which they have to figure out is the figurine which is their clue to the next location) is considered as a general task. Just my two cents worth.

And i definitely believe Nick and Vicki gained the most positions. They're last at the Detour and finished third. If you're watching the episode, you'll be extremely shocked at how fast they're at the Detour.

5 Points –Are all teams fully equalized during the start of this leg?
Yes. at the locked gate to the circus


I thought that teams trickled in after it opened?

Kwando.  We know that Kevin and is third in line, we know that Kevin & Michael are the 2nd team to get and two open a clue.  We know the clue box is very close to the gate.  And while Kevin is ripping his clue open, we can see a person from every team (well except Jill & thomas who were ahead of Michael & Kevin).  Thus all teams had to be at that gate before it opened.

Thus all were fully equalized.

I just freeze framed the sequence that shows teh picture you attached.

Clearly the first three racers at the gate, are Thomas, Jill and Kevin.  Next scene Thomas is pulling out a clue, as Jill runs up to the clue box with Kevin right next to here.

Next scene Thomas and Jill opening Clue.

Next scene (which includes the frame posted above) is Kevin (with Michael behind him opening his clue, the clue box is behind them and it appears that Brook & Claire are grabbing their clue at this point.  We can also see that a line is basically formed.  With Nat & Kat, then Chad & Stephanie and then we see running up Gary (we see a small fraction of Mallory's arm she is up camera from Gary slightly).  But you do see Nick running up  (at about the time you see a sliver of Mallory's arm) and he is not in the same basic line formed by others.  He appears to be going directly to the clue box, and by the time the scene changes again he is now past Gary & Mallory and Chad & Stephanie.

Now in previous seasons, it can be a free for all, in others teams ahve been very respectful and gone in order.  We have no way of knowing.  But based on the formed line idea (take one in turn) it would appear that Nick & Vicki would be last, but based on screw the line who ever gets their hand in the clue box is the order we go in, Nick & Vicki could easily be before Nat & Kat (the clip doesn't go long enough to let us see we actually gets to the cluebox first.

But there are two many examples of teams pushing their way to get a clue, for me to even consider this reference.

I knew I had clarified, the detour issue before as when that tasks starts be it the walk from a car by the location or when they actually start doing something specific to the task (in many cases putting on safety equipment or costumes).  I decided that doing something specific to the task would mark the start, and since we see teams in that same basic area with their noses, I assume one of the clowns handed out noses around the time they got the clue.  Though we don't have an specific picture to point out exactly where they got their noses.

But that same basic rule applies.  In the above post I explain why I can't use getting the clue.  And the criteria above their is no specific footage to clarify racing order.

Its a wash.  Free points for everyone.

Shouldn't the answers to these go from 1 through to 6?

What if (very unlikely) Nat and Kat never relinquish the lead, for example?

Also- Do these questions include the "Xth to depart" subtitles?

WOW! I can't believe I won this week! :) Couldn't have come at a better time, too. I had a couple of really crappy weeks back there.

Regarding the question of who is shown holding the first clue in Oman, is it the first person holding the first new clue they get in Oman, or does the clue they receive at the Pit Start in Russia count? (Like, let's say the clue tells them to fly to Oman and then drive somewhere once they get there, and then they show a racer holding THAT clue in the car in Oman.)

I my I crewed that one hope yes their Xth to depart counts., and Opps I should have included a 1st for Nat & Kat, oh well, I hope at one point they do worse...

And yeah since their departing type will count (which is fourth) Gary & Mallory should do no worse.  Unless they miss their departure spot.

Opps, I will correct.  and as last year first person who corrects a mistake I made in scoring also counts as a bonus point.  So that should be two for you.

Sorry I didn't see it.

Once teams arrive in Oman which person is the first one we see holding a clue (Can't be clue packet).  So it wouldn't be them leaving Russia (not in the right country).
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: Mug Costanza on November 14, 2010, 05:28:43 PM
Right, I understand. So it can be any clue they've received on the leg, including the one at the Pit Start in Russia, or does it specifically have to be the first clue they receive in Oman?

FIrst clue (fromOman)  So if a team holds out the first route marker from the starting point once landing in Oman it wouldn't count.  Needs to be the first clue teams have a chance to get to in Oman.

Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: mswood on November 15, 2010, 12:49:11 AM
Okay here are my picks for the correct answers.

10 Points – Which team states the Title, “Ali Baba in a suit”?
Nick & Vicki, in fact both racers I believe state it


10 Points – Do Chad & Stephanie wake up before their Pit Stop departure Time?
Nope.

10 Points – Do Chad & Stephanie make the first departure flight with all the other teams?
Nope, not even any of the departure times of other teams

10 Points – Does any of the females drive that have a male racing partner?
Yes, it's Stephanie and we do see footage

10 Points – Do all teams arrive in Oman on the same flight?
Nope

15 Points - Which racer is the first shown with a clue after arriving in Oman?

Okat I was asked to clarify this question, but I did so very late on Sunday, I clarified the first clue opened in Oman.  Since I did this so late I will award points for the first racer with a clue (be it old or new), and the first person with a new clue.
Kat, is shown with an old route marker at night looking for the guy with the departure plates.
Brook, is shown being the first person to get a new clue

Both answers will be counted.


10 Points – Which comes first?
Chad Proposing

5 Points – Does she say yes?
Yes, OK who said no.   Seriously who is going to tell someone no with the camera's strangers, and others around.  You tell him yes (and if you don't mean it you tell him later that you changed your mind).

5 Points – Are they currently in last place (or the last to arrive at that location)?
Nope, they got to the point in 4th, with Gary & Mallory and Nick & Vicki behind them

5 Points – Which all female team completes the detour first?
Brook & Claire, damn you.

10 Points – Which female/male team completes the detour first?
Jill & THomas, and with the later preview I was sure everyone would have picked Chad & Stephanie

5 Points – Do any teams switch detour tasks?
Nope, and I almost had a question on if both sides of the detour was used.  Damn it

5 Points – Which all female team completes the roadblock first?
Brook & Claire (OK, Nat & Kat..... way to screw up my game)

10 Points - Which female/male team completes the roadblock first?
Chad & Stephanie, again I can't believe more people didn't pick Chad & Stephanie

5 Points – Is the team that completes the detour first the same team that completes the Roadblock first?
Nope

15 points – Which racer is the first to complete the roadblock?
Chad, seriously did no one watch the preview??

5 Points - Is the team that completes the detour first an all female team or a female/male team?
Female/ Male, not the ladies night as far as teams go

5 Points - Is the team that completes the Roadblock first an all female team, or a female/male team?
Female/ Male team

10 Points – The Bedouin’s tent is part of?
Detour, (I also thought it could easily be a route marker)

5 Points – Who performs the Roadblock?
5 points - 13 people answered this question - Claire

5 Points – Is navigation (ie getting lost, getting bad directions, unable to find correct location) the reason for Mallory praying?
Yes

5 Points – Do any racing teams experience car problems (navigation doesn’t count)?
Yes, flat tire

10 Points – What is the best placing awarded to Gary & Mallory in this episode?
4, at the starting point and they never do better

10 Points - What is the worst placing awarded to Nat & Kat during this leg?
5th, and for most of the episode and no one, but no one picked that.

10 Points – What teams arrives in at the mat first?
Jill & Thomas arrive at the Mat first, they of course are not awarded first place due to a penalty.

10 Points – Which team is last to arrive at the Pit Stop?
Gary & Mallory, buy guys I liked you (well not Mallory's voice, but everything else)

5 Points – Is that team, the team that gets eliminated?
Yes

I almost put checked in, but left it this way just to.   I almost asked this as the follow question.  Is the team that checks in as Team Number 1, but since I was doing something similar to the last place team (and I actually thought Gary & Mallory would be hours behind everyone, and might get eliminated without ever making it to the Mat.)

But the reverse is what happened.

All I can say is thank god for that preview of the RB, that really gave me a ton of points.

Could you explain what you mean by the left or right side of the detour?
Title: Re: RFF TAR 17 pick-em game
Post by: AmazingRace on November 19, 2010, 02:26:52 AM
Could you explain what you mean by the left or right side of the detour?

I think it means whether they do the detour that is shown on the left or right side of the  screen (at the bottom). Like for example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                                                   |
|                                                                                   |
|                                                                                   |
|                                                                                   |
|("Artistic Expression < Detour > Cookie Confection")       |
|                                                                                   |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the lines is your TV box.  B:)

Sorry everyone about all the delays I am spending the holidays with my parents, and they have no internet, so I have been trying to go through things with my three year old phone.

A game will be up today for this week, sorry about not scoring last weeks episode (hell I forgot to even play!!, then Coutzy had to go all professional stalker and distract the hell out of everyone, what a ****ing great job!!).

So updates will occur throughout today.

Post by: Jobby on December 05, 2010, 08:31:38 PM
Just helping because mswood i know you're really busy these days -

10 points -Which racer states the title, "I'm surrounded by Ninjas"?
0 points - 16 people answered this question - Brook

5 points- Do we get departure times for all teams this week?
0 points - 2 people answered this question - No
(Nick and Vicki's departure time not shown)

10 Points - Is the skating?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - A detour

10 Points - is the water rafting a?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - A general Task

10 Points - Who performs the roadblock?
0 points - 8 people answered this question - Thomas

10 Points - Who performs the roadblock?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Kat

10 Points - which team is the first to complete the roadblock?
0 points - 11 people answered this question - Jill and Thomas :groan:

10 Points - Who is the first team to do the rafting?
0 points - 10 people answered this question - Jill and Thomas (:;)

10 Points - How many teams get lost while driving?
1 or 2 teams, depending on how you look at it.
 0 points - 9 people answered this question - One
0 points - 6 people answered this question - Two

This is a question people will challenge. I chose one team, but i think the answer is two teams. Nat and Kat got a little lost while driving to the bridge, and they clearly said they had to "TURN AROUND" back to the bridge. And it is because of that they arrived third at the bridge.
Nick and Vicki, are clearly lost. The korean leading them had no clue where they're going too.
So if you count Nat and Kat's small turn about as getting lost, it's 2 teams. If not, just Nick and Vicki.

10 Points - Which is first?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - A general task

10 Points - Which team is the first to get the detour clue?
0 points - 4 people answered this question - Nat and Kat
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Jill and Thomas
0 points - 2 people answered this question - Brook and Claire
(It's get the Detour clue, not completing Detour. THANKS BROOKE AND CLAIRE!!) :yess:

10 Points - Which team is next to last in getting the detour clue?
0 points - 8 people answered this question - Nat and Kat

10 Points - Do any teams switch detours?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - No

10 Points - which team is the first team to complete the detour?
0 points - 13 people answered this question - Jill and Thomas

10 Points - is the team that completes the roadblock first also the team that completes the detour first?
0 points - 12 people answered this question - Yes :groan:

10 points - which team checks into the pit stop first?
0 points - 15 people answered this question - Jill and Thomas

15 Points - Which team checks into the Pit Stop second?
0 points - 9 people answered this question - Brook and Claire


15 Points - which team is the last to get a chance to win a million dollars?
0 points - 9 people answered this question - Nat and Kat

10 Points - When Nat and Kat check into the Pi stop where are Nick and Vicki?
0 points - 14 people answered this question - Actually out racing
Still on their way in the jeep, going to do their Speedbump which is washing the TANK.

10 Points - When Jill and Thomas check into the Pit Stop where are Nick and Vicki?
0 points - 14 people answered this question - Out racing on the leg
Still on their way in the jeep, going to do their Speedbump which is washing the TANK.

15 Points - Do we see Nick and Vicki perform the detour and roadblock?
0 points - 7 people answered this question - No :(

Hopefully this helps mswood! I may not be right in every question though! :tup:

One more correction for Joab's list (and again thank you).


10 Points - Which team is next to last in getting the detour clue?

0 points - 8 people answered this question - Nat and Kat

Actually the order is
Jill & Thomas
Brook & claire
Nat & Kat

Thus the next to last to get the clue would be the 2nd team Brook & Claire.  We never see Nick & Vicki get the detour clue thus they aren't part of the equation.

10 Points – The iPad task is the last non navigational task of this leg?

Yes
No

What does this question mean?
Is there any task after the Ipad memory task, or is it simply teams going from route marker to route marker until they get to the Pit Stop (or even head directly to the Pit Stop).

For an example in TAR 12, after their difficult memory task teams had to a clue that would direct them to a statue of Captain Cook (they needed to find where it was by asking locals), once at the statue that last clue directed them to the Pit Stop.  So besides navigating there was no other task after the memory challenge.

Tasks are something like a roadblock, detour, intersection, Fast Forward, drinking a boot of Beer, having to climb up to the top of a building to get the next location, ect...

Here are what I believe the correct answers to be (warning there are a couple that are questionable).

10 Points –During the Recap Phil usually brings up past events for the finale three teams, for Brook and Claire will this include being U-Turned (must be in footage about Brook & Claire)?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – For Nat & Kat will this feature the Fast Forward Task?
10 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – For Jill & Thomas will this feature them U-Turning Brook & Claire (this must be in the section about Jill & Thomas)?
10 points - 10 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do we get departure Times for each team?
10 points - 18 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points- Which team is the first full team shown (both racers from the team must be in it) once arriving in the US?
10 points - 7 people answered this question - Nat & Kat, leaving the plane, we can barely see Kat in front of Nat

25 Points – Points Which racer gets the first clue in the US?
25 points - 2 people answered this question - Kat


10 Points – Which team is 2nd to get a helicopter ride?
10 points - 10 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas


10 Points – Does this leg feature a Roadblock?
10 points - 15 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do both racers have to perform a task at the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 8 people answered this question - No, Roadblock one person not both


10 Points – Which team gets the first clue at the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 13 people answered this question - Nat & Kat


10 Points – Which team leaves the Rose Bowl first?
10 points - 13 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Is the iPad task is the last non navigational task of this leg?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Is the first team to arrive at the iPad task, the first to leave the Rose Bowl?
10 points - 14 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Do all teams have stop and get directions during the episode?
10 points - 12 people answered this question - No

But here you can argue.  All teams do have to get clues answered, but I only consider Brook & Claire (who stop at a Hotel, and Jill & THomas we stop God only knows where), as Nat & Kat ask various cab drivers, but once they get in one and it starts driving they never get out.

10 Points - Which team is first to get to the iPad task?
10 points - 11 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Which team is 2nd to reach the iPad task?
10 points - 4 people answered this question - Brook & Claire


10 Points – Which team is last to arrive at the iPad Task?
10 points - 5 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas

We don't actually see them get to the ipad test (we have seen footage thinks to previews) but normally I judge only off footage, so you could certainly argue that Brook & Claire are in fact the last to arrive at the test (that we see)


10 Points – Is that team the last to finish the task?
10 points - 17 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – Is the iPad task a?
10 points - 16 people answered this question - General Task


10 Points – Which team completes that iPad task first?
10 points - 12 people answered this question - Nat & Kat

10 Points – Which team completes the IPad task 2nd?
10 points - 5 people answered this question - Brook & Claire


10 Points – Which team completes the iPad task 3rd?
10 points - 6 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas, I assume we don't actually know


10 Points – Are teams required to bring supplies from part of the leg to another location?
10 points - 15 people answered this question - No

10 Points - Do any teams get taken to the wrong location by a cab?
10 points - 4 people answered this question - No

10 Points – Is the order teams leave the finale task the same order they arrive at the Mat?
10 points - 11 people answered this question - Yes


10 Points – How many times are Jill & Thomas awarded first place during this leg?

10 Points – Which team is last to arrive at the iPad Task?
10 points - 5 people answered this question - Jill & Thomas

We don't actually see them get to the ipad test (we have seen footage thinks to previews) but normally I judge only off footage, so you could certainly argue that Brook & Claire are in fact the last to arrive at the test (that we see)

We couldn't use assumptions earlier in the season (Specifically, the circus Detour in Russia) so we should not be using them now.

Based on footage, last to arrive at iPad task - Brooke and Claire.

Which team completes iPad task 3rd, technically.. we all know it's Jill and Thomas. But if you don't want to "assume", either points should be awarded to everyone, or no points awarded at all. :cmas16

It' s interesting to see that the majority prefers the seasons before TAR All-stars and not so much the recent ones. TAR 17 for me felt a little like the older ones and that' s why I liked it so much.

That's exactly how I feel. I wonder if my preference for the old format has something to do with it..  :cmas27

I loved that season because of the teams involved. Like what Phil said, TAR 14 felt a little like TAR 1,3,5 and 7. And now TAR 17 feels like one of the old seasons too. Maybe it's because TAR 17 has 12 legs and in the older seasons, if you take away the TBC episode.. there's also only 12 legs.. so it feels like nothing much changes? I really like TAR 3 because even Flo may be one whineeeey b***h, she's still nice as she is (remember how she helped Ken and Gerard?) and how the twins were alpha male but nice and interesting at the same time. It was also the very first season which got me hooked on to the show.

I think many people picked Season 5 because it was the first season of the show which got them hooked on to TAR!! :kisses

Indeed, Season 5 was the first season I watched that got me hooked onto the show. Subsequently, I've watched the older seasons before but because I kinda watched them all in a rush, I don't really have much impression of those. Season 5 wasn't that great a season for me because the winners killed it all. I'm probably in a minority with this view lol. But the final outcome matters a lot to me and can affect the whole season for me.

My favourite seasons are 17, 14 and 12!

OK, after considering this, and keeping to my own rules, even though we do have pictures and clips of Jill & Thomas performing the memory challenge (is this the first time we got preview footage that actually wasn't part of the episode), thus for the first episode of who is the last team to complete the memory challenge that would be Brook & Claire (as they are the last team that episode footage shows completing the task, and the other question.  As for who completes the ipad task 3rd, since we don't know and don't see and I can't score a zero, points for all answers.

mswood, i checked and i still had no idea why my answers were not submitted. :'(

I've been patiently waiting for the final results of this game and it shocked me that my answers were not even submitted when i clearly submitted it twice. Is there anyone else experiencing the same problem as me? I remembered the first time it lagged awhile, so i waited awhile more, before answering the whole set of questions again (while changing some answers here and there), before clicking the submit button and then it loaded back to the same page!

I can even remember each and every option which i picked!!

You can answer the picks without being logged in...so if you forget to log in, it won't record your answers. I don't know if there is anyway to see if that happened or not.

Oh dear....  :cmas4

I think there's nothing that can be done.... :cmas5 :'(

Thanks mswood for the wonderful game. I calculated and would have gotten around 255 points and would not have beaten you or MamaT and come in sixth. But it's okay, i'll just make sure my answers are really submitted next time round.. which i still do not know why it isn't.

Ah, so in the end my nagging and whining points made no difference. I'm sure theres a lesson there somewhere :cmaslol

Congrats peach, I know how very much you wanted to win this, so Im happy for you.  BTW~ I let you beat me, I knew you would cry otherwise, and I didnt want to see a soggy peach :cmas50

Seriously, mswood, I had a blast playing your game.  This was not only my first season to play along with you, it was also my first season following spoilers.  I was concerned that knowing the outcome of things would take away the enjoyment of watching the episode.  However your game added a whole new perspective to watching the episode and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort on our behalf   :cmas17

See you all in Feb.  (We'll give you the first episode Coutzy and Im taking you down peach!)
