I thought I did great? I am ashamed of myself for thinking otherwise. 

Don't worry there is always this week, or the next.  Everybody usually has bad weeks.

Thank you mswood.

Except Peach. Oh wait...

I kid of course. Peach's bad weeks seem to be equal to most of us on a good week.

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.

10 Points - What prize does the team that checks into the Pit Stop in first win this leg?
A Cruise
A Trip (non Cruise)
Water Craft
Land Vehicle

[mswood]

5 Points - Which team ends in better position (ie who checks into the Pit Stop with the lower position)?
Brent & Caite
Dan & Jordan

In better position or lower position?

I have reworded it for the game.  THis question now reads:

5 Points - Which team checks into the Pit Stop in better position?

[Hooky]

You're doing a good job, mswood!

[gingerman28]

You're doing a good job, mswood!

I agree that MSwood is doing a great job, something I wouldn't touch even if you paid me.  But just because I like to nitpick.  It should be:

Who checks into the pit stop in a better position?

[georgiapeach]

YAY G-MAN!!  

Thank you Peach.  Now that I have proved to you that your elders are not complete nimkapoops, I think that I will retire from the game.  And it proves once again when you are so preoccupied with other more pressing events and you just toss all the cards up the stairs and pick them up at random you can do better than Miss Peach.  But who knows what will happen this week. 

No resting on your laurels G-Man!! You need to take this game and you are just the man to do it!! Love ya!!

he,he.......

[River]

Wow! I had no idea I would do so well in the first week. (At least for me)

[mswood]

Keep it up.

[slpdx]

Help, I can't login, I keep getting Login Failed message 

[mswood]

It works for me, by any chance did you use the wrong password?

[mswood]

Anyone else have any problems???

Can we sign on if say our capslock key is on?

[slpdx]

Yes the password was the problem, thanks....and yes I am idiot, I typically use the same password but for some reason used a different one for the game.   Here's hoping I guess good again this week,  I can't believe my placement from last week....total fluke!!!

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

[mswood]

G-Man like an IDIOT when asked that specific question, I of course said yes    I had no idea teams were actually going to dress up as fake birds.  I was thinking more hag gliding (but I of course did not check the damn spoilers!!!).

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.

[mswood]

And here is week 2.

15 Points - How much time separates Jordan & Jeff and Jody & Shannon when leaving the Pit Stop?
No Correct answer, no points awarded (unless the game makes me put in something then everyone will get the points)

5 Points - Do any teams get any penalties?
No

5 Points - Which comes first?
Detour Option

5 points - Do teams arrive at the first airport in the same order they leave the Pit Stop?
There is no airport

5 points - Do any racers make fun of Caite's answer during her Pageant performance?
Yes, lets beat that dead horse, one of the lesbians I believe

10 points - Which team gets the Roadblock Clue first?
Cord & Jet

10 points - Which team is first to complete the Roadblock?
Cord & Jet


10 Points - Which team is last to complete the Roadblock?
Jody & Shannon

10 points - How many women complete this week's roadblock
4, Heidi, Carol, Monique, and Jody

10 Points - Which team is first to get the Detour Clue?
Cord & Jet

10 points - Which team is first to complete the Detour?
Cord & Jet


10 Points - Which team is the last to complete the Detour?
Jody & Shannon (Damn it)

5 Points - Do any teams switch detour tasks?
No  (and can I just say the Tasks while entertaining were very easy).

10 Points - How many racers get kicked by an animal (and their partner doesn't count)?
4 or more, I counted at the very least Joe, Carol, Monique and Jody, thats 4 if there is more it doesn't matter.

5 Points - Which team ends in better position (ie who checks into the Pit Stop with the lower position)?
Brent & Caite

10 Points - How many forms (OH God) of transportation (and buses will be buses!) to teams take during this week's leg?  AAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
4
5

Walking Pneumonia is in trouble!!  Since the question was asked and I specifically said it would count, I have to count the stupid damn RB bird outfit.  But I hate it so much that I am also going to award points without including that stupid answer. 

In my eyes its taxi (paid private transport), bus, self driven car, and boat.  Thus 4, but since I said I would count stupid bird outfit I will also award points for 5th.


15 Points - Which team (in comparison to last week) improves the most in checking into the Pit Stop (a team going from 9th to 2nd would gain more then a team that went from 3rd to 1st)?
Joe & Heidi
Carol & Brandy
Brent & Caite

These three teams each gained 3 spots


15 Points - Which teams loses the most positions?
Jordan & Jeff   Down 5

10 Points - Which team is the first to check into the Pit Stop?
Cord & Jet


10 Points - Which team is the last to check into the Pit Stop?
Jody & Shannon

10 Points - What prize does the team that checks into the Pit Stop in first win this leg?
Water Craft


5 points FREE POINTS - Jordan & Jeff?
Damn, I actually like them so far
Indifferent
Yuck, get them off the tv
To Early to really judge

[Sailing]

I never heard Carol or Brandy make fun of Catie. I thought they just said they underestimated Jeff and Jordan?

[Caelestor]

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?).

[mswood]

It happens at 31:59 they are driving away from the Roadblock and talking about the moral victory of beating Brent & Caite, the other ask who, and the blonde gives her impression of her Iraq speech.

[Hooky]

Oh, dear. I think I did awfully this week.

[mswood]

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.
