10 Points – Which tasks does Jill & Thomas consider using the Express Pass on

Roadblock
General Task
Just mentioned in passing not over a specific task
Never mentioned

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.

Well I have final answers for all but two questions.  When I get a copy to rewatch I will get those two judged.  They are bolded.







20 Points – Which team loses the most positions while performing the Detour?

Jill & Thomas
Nat & Kat
Connor & Jonathan
Brook & Claire
Katie & Rachel
Gary  & Mallory
Michael & Kevin
Chad & Stephanie
Andie & Jenna
Nick & Vicki
There is no Detour

This will be simple enough to judge once I rewatch the episode.





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!

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.... :'(

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:

Yes

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")?

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).

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:

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.

I'm not understanding ANY of the gain/lose position questions(in relationship to WHAT?) but am answering this one:

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

Based in relationship to how they finished in leg 2...so hope that is right!
