Sorry, Patman, I was actually surprised your team was out this round. Compared to some of the other teams, I'm surprised they didn't last longer.

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
It looks like my "Go Team Douche-Bag" survived another close week. Both the Nick/Vicki and Jill/Thomas try their hardest each week to also prove that they have a mighty-male-douche-champion which is sort of surprising to have three teams end up that way... no clue why they let that happen with all the psych work they put all the teams through. Makes good TV though.

Whew!! Had a feeling it was a non-elim week, and luckily it was.

I'm glad. Nick and Vicki are growing on me. Vicki's show of strength last show made me like her a lot more, and this show Nick seemed to improve his patience. Nice to have them another week anyway!

Sorry, damfino--been a rough few weeks for you on these DVDTalk games. Especially stinks that you got booted not because your team couldn't keep up but because they didn't read directions. Ugh.

I knew Michael didn't have the stamina for the race, so it was only a matter of time. I am really enjoying this season though. Brook & Claire and Nat & Kat are running great races and I think one of them is going to win.
Meanwhile, this figures to be my last week in the Survivor game as well.

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
I don't think they would have won the race, but it could have been possible. One round they came in second only because Kevin didn't listen to his dad and they didn't find the mat before the other team. The way they were racing, they were consistently beating some other teams, and a few of these teams left were certainly on par with them. I just hate that they went out the way they did...for not READING! :P

Man, my Go-Team-Douchebag survives yet another round. I feel bad for rooting for a team that appears to center around an abusive relationship.
The preview shows them over-sleeping the next start day. I'm thinking they are not long for this game.

Everytime we watch Chad & Stephanie, we think about Stephanie saying in the first episode how she and Chad have been dating for something like 3 months and they decided to buy a house together. Whoops!

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
I dodged a bullet several times last night for sure. I'm surprised he proposed to her, usually thats like a death sentence in these types of shows. Like when the Glee-team got taken out on their graduation day or how everyone who announces a birthday on Survivor gets voted out that day.

Sorry, outcastja.
Yeah, I understand the coolness about getting engaged on international TV...but the way this game has been so contentious, I'm not sure I'd want that mixed with my marriage proposal! :P

Navinabob, the double u-turn did you in. Down to the final four!

I had a feeling it was a non-elim so I dodged a bullet there but no way they survive next time. A six hour penalty on top of being many hours behind. He is a dick anyway, I like Vicki though.

Sorry, Wolf359, but we all had a feeling. Man, if Nick hadn't given up on that last task--even if it had taken them a few more hours--they would have made that flight the next day and they could have actually made it into the final three. Shows how critical it is to never give up in this thing. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life.

Its been fun! Made me laugh that they still made them do that speed bump, and it actually looked like a time consuming one this time!
What a dipshit he was. They had to be at least 12 hours back.
I'm rooting for Brooke and Claire but any of the three are good people.

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
Nice job, sauce07! Sixty-eight posts, 10 DVDTalk competitors, 1 unwanted team. You are officially the first DVDTalk Amazing Race winner! Nat and Kat owned that entire leg.
PM me with the email where you'd like your $22.50 GC sent and you can live it up on us!

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
sauce07 has received his GC! Congrats again, sauce07. Incidentally, he was the first person to enter the game, too.
Here's something interesting: Of everyone who entered, Nat and Kat, the winners, weren't at the top of ANYONE'S list. In fact, only one person even had them in the top three. Everyone else had them in spots 5-10.
Ironically, even sauce07, who won, had them as his SIXTH choice! This is why it's never worth getting upset if you don't get your first choice...or your second...or your third...or...
If there's interest, we can do it again next season. And this time around I won't pick the goofball singing guys from Harvard.

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
congrats again sauce07 for picking the doctors 6th. Just know that while the doctors are probably using the money to pay for their malpractice insurance, poor Jill is still without a college education and Thomas has loads of student loans from attending Notre Dame.
Thanks also juryduty for running this game. Looking forwards to the unfinished business edition of TAR!

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 17 Game
Congrats, sauce! Obviously, I was pulling for Brooke and Claire, but so it goes.
I just checked my PMs and I was the one person who had Nat & Kat in the top 3 -- I had them as number 3. I had Brooke & Claire at number 7. I had Jill & Thomas at number 5, and my first choice was Katie & Rachel. Shows what I know.
