Cool. I redrafted when I thought Shamir was gone.

I'm one of the lucky "winners" of Vanck, who went bottom two both times. At least my Ashton went higher in the second draft.

JuryDuty

And the graphic is updated. Please double-check me once it refreshes for you...

Navinabob

I actually saw my name first as well, but when I refreshed the page you were up before me so I picked again

lwhy?

Judging by the promos. I think Ashton and Vanck end up on the same team.....

davidh777

Great. Another first-out for me.

dotheDVDeed

Do us Game 2 players get to see our names & picks in the graphic?

Oops, now I see it. Thanks Damfino.

lwhy?

Thanks for heading up the game every season and coming up with a draft format to make the complete strangers theme work. I really appreciate it. This game makes watching the show much more fun!

postermen

The dude who can't believe he forgot about another draft again.

I'm sending the extra money now.

Damfino

You have a unique quadruple Quack play!

lwhy?

Man... How many times have I gone out first? I must hold the record. I think Seth and Olive win by a landslide.

Damfino

I'm not used to posting 4 names after the show, so here it goes...

Sorry lwhy?, rbrown498, LaxBandit and Navinabob. At least you all have other people to root for.

Four of us have teams that will make it possible to win $55 prizes: davidh777, lwhy?, dotheDVDeed and JuryDuty.

Seth and Olive are the early favorites which bodes well for JuryDuty!

rbrown498

...and one of my teams places first, and one gets eliminated.

Sounds like a fair trade-off. I'll miss the eye candy that Jenn provided.

davidh777

I'm optimistic about Ashton and Vanck's chances of sweeping me to victory!

I don't really know anything about Shamir yet, other than he seemed consistently in the middle of the pack. I don't have a lot of hope for Becca, but she doesn't look outmatched.

At least I don't want to punch any of my players in the face yet, though, so there's that.

What's funny is I have both of your players' partners.

At this point, they seem somewhat competent enough to stick around for at least half the race.

davidh777

That is funny. Go, dfmaverick!

Just hanging around is worth a lot, because something weird can always eliminate a strong team. I'll always remember winning with the goat farmers.

Damfino

Sorry chowderhead, CKMorpheus and Navinabob, but at least you still have other contestants to root for.

I really liked Jessica at draft time, but she was disappointing.

2 weeks in and nobody has been elliminated yet. That's one good thing about this season.

GatorDeb

I didn't know about this thread, can I still participate?? Team America!! (First Guy and Firefighter Gal, What's His Name and Olive).

Damfino

Sorry, but no. We hold a draft before the season started. If you like what you see, watch for next season's game unless the show is canceled.

In the meantime, read the thread to see how the game works and you can still post here if you want to comment on our game. If you want to post something about The Amazing Race that's unrelated to our game you would be better off with the episode threads.

Damfino

So what do I know anyway?

Sorry, JuryDuty and The Guy, but at least you still have others to root for.

And we have our first elimination this week...

Sorry rbrown498, thanks for playing. The double U Turn was too much to overcome.

rbrown498

Yeah, I didn't see that one coming. I figured that they were more resilient than they ended up being. I'm frankly amazed at how well Michael and Liz are doing--who'da thunk it?

On an unrelated note, Brooke gets better-looking every episode.

TheGuy

Don't know Matt & Redmond have BIG targets on there backs.

dotheDVDeed

Woo hoo! Go Mike and Liz!

davidh777

Ashton and Vanck are doing better than I expected!

Shamir is looking pretty punchable, though.
