Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 18 Game (Round 2)

OK, now that the dust has settled, I just wanted to say good luck to all of you and thanks for participating, especially JasonF who stepped up at the last minute when a certain bad puppy failed to pay on time.

And speaking of bad puppies, I learned how to run these games by observing how those like Goat3001, JuryDuty and TheBus ran games before me and especially from how TheBus handled bad puppies during the summer of sheep back in 2009...



Bad Blake: For ignoring my private messages!

Worse Blake: For signing up for the game and not paying on time!

Worst Blake: Making me wake up over an hour earlier than I planned this morning to recruit your replacement!

DON'T MAKE EXTRA WORK FOR THE GAME MODERATOR! BAD!!

I don't care if they get a 12 hour head start every leg of the race -- $25 isn't anywhere close to enough to make me willing to root for those jackwagons.

If I was last I would have went with no pick, and left my $2 in the pool

Thanks for the second chance offer, I just happened to be at my early morning movie viewing when the offer showed up after 10 a.m.. I guess I'll try and get in next season. Good luck to everyone!

LOL well crud, this is what I get for forgetting to set an alarm for the pick time. I was actually going to pick Mel and Mike, so I could have been late and still got them. Oh well. Like them or not, Margie and Luke ARE a competitive team, mostly because they feel like underdogs from the get-go because of Luke's disability, and I think it makes them fight harder. They're a worthy pick for the winning team, because they are competitive.

I'll have the graphic updated shortly.

I'm sorry, but being a douchebag is not a disability!

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 18 Game (Round 2)

Last time i won with a all girl team, hopefully the Goths keep my streak alive. I've been sick for the past week and missed the start of the draft because my brain didn't want to wake up. The goths would've been towards the bottom of my pick list but so was Nat and Kat last season.

I'm glad we didn't lose anybody the first week, but who would have expected Jet & Cord to be running last! Oh my gravy!

My team is in first. I say we call the pool now and award the money to me.

Tough break, though ironically, nobody chose to do the easier of the 2 Detours.

Thanks for playing.

Sorry, BadlyDrawnBoy. They were actually one of my top pics because I liked them so much last race. But Damfino's right--they just started out physically exhausted.

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 18 Game (Round 2)

I can't believe how badly Kent & Vyxsin did tonight, but nobody was eliminated due to the double leg.

I thought this should have been a perfect roadblock for Zev, and I guess Justin did too, but I know next to nothing about Asperger's other than impeded social skills. Fortunately for me, K&V are doing everything they can to help my guys.

Sorry Fist of Doom, thanks for playing. Although, that actually was kind of funny that Kent & Vyxsin U-Turned Jamie & Cara with them standing right there.

I can't believe Kent and Vyxsin survived this double-round. Jet and Cord are in their groove again. This is what they did last time--faltered the first couple rounds out, then dominated for a while. We'll see if they can keep it up. My team, Margie and Luke, seem to be oddly quiet this time...though the previews make it look like next week they'll be hurting.

Damfino, I was worried for you during the dino-building there for a while. You've got one of the strongest teams IMO, but they nearly crumpled. :P

How did I survive this week? Oh yeah...a non-elimination leg and a catch up point. Lucky.

Sorry JuryDuty, thanks for playing and of course for the graphics.

Will Luke ever drink a Snapple again?

Re: DVDTalk Amazing Race 18 Game (Round 2)

I almost felt bad for Luke... and then I remembered he was a giant douche.

Anyone notice Mallory reacts to everything just like a puppy would? Seriously, she's like a Disney cartoon. We all love her here and can't wait for a challenge where she has to find a half eaten burrito someone tossed in the bushes and she has to eat it before someone yells "NO!" and pulls her back.
