Introducing the DVDTalk Amazing Race 18 Game Round 2!

This season 11 teams return with "Unfinished Business" and for the first time the race will be broadcast in HD!




JuryDuty has stepped aside as moderator of The Amazing Race game, but he will still provide the graphics.

The season premiere is this Sunday, Feb. 20 at 8 PM and there will be no delays for football!

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $2, everyone chooses a team to latch on to before the start of the season. If that team ends up winning race, then YOU will win a $22 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

We will be using the First-to-Post selection method for the draft. You may post 1 and only 1 team during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first team in the post. If they have already been taken, you will need to post again.

This season has 11 teams returning for another chance at victory and they are:

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

You may learn more about the teams at the CBS web site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/

Post now if you want to play and I will contact you with my PayPal information by Private Message.

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EST Saturday Feb. 19. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to another player.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the Personal Gift option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out and an unclaimed team wins, the prize will go to whoever has the highest finisher.

The draft will be held Saturday, Feb. 19 at Noon EST (9 AM Pacific). The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

Good Luck!

The returning champ is in

So is everybody picking the same team as Number 1?

Wolf359

I'm in.

Wolf359

Money sent! I was hoping we would do this again, thanks Damfino!

I suspect it will be everyone trying for the same four teams. Good luck!

Fist of Doom

I've got eight bucks in my Paypal account, so let's play.

Damfino

You're in!

Payment info has been sent to everyone on the list in the 2nd post.

If a $ appears next to your name, that means I have received your payment.

Five spots remain.

JuryDuty

Damfino, I sent my payment a few hours ago. Don't know if you've checked this morning, but if you haven't received it let me know and I'll check into it.

Groucho

I'm in.

Fist of Doom

Payment sent. I haven't watched this show in a few seasons, so it'll be fun to get back into it.

BDB

Let m ein

Damfino

Ok, you ar ein.

Payment info sent to Groucho and BadlyDrawnBoy

Damfino

I did get your payment. For some reason, I didn't receive an email, but it does show on my account.

Payment also received from Wolf359 and Fist of Doom.

outcastja

I'm in if there are spaces still left.

Navinabob

I'm sorta put-off by the picking method (I liked the list much better last year) but I'll play if room remains.

Damfino

Payments received from Groucho and BadlyDrawnBoy

Payment info sent to outcastja and Navinabob

1 spot remains to sell out the game!

Blake

I'll take the last spot!

Damfino

The games weren't selling out with the draft list method, so even though I prefer that method too, I'd rather sell out the game than risk another Jane from last season's Survivor.

Damfino

You're in! Payment info sent.

The game is now sold out!

Groucho

As long as I do better than last time (I got my first choice AND my team was the first eliminated) I'll be happy.

Damfino

Wednesday night update:

I have updated the 2nd post to show payments received from Navinabob, chowderhead and outcastja

JasonF

How the F-word did I miss this thread? Dammit ....

Damfino, if someone drops out due to nonpayment, I want in!

Patman

I missed this thread because I was confused by "(Round 2)" in the thread title, as I thought it was some weird fantasy league on TAR for some reason.

Damfino

I'm still waiting on one payment, you are first on the standby list.
