Bah, I'll update the graphic later . Seriously, couldn't Luke and the Globetrotter smell the tea? It was obviously the best strategy since Ron completed the challenge that way in about 2 minutes.

chowderhead

bye bye Luke and Marge.

Apparently, there were only 10 cups with the correct answer (if you freeze on the list the guy was holding). So unless they refill the cups with the correct ones as people get them, the more people that correctly pick the right tea, the fewer there are for the remaining teams. This punishes the slow and the ones who are arrive later. Malory and Gary and the Cowboys look very strong.

JuryDuty

Sorry Navinabob, but Ron actually looked happy to be out of the race. :P

Graphic updated! (Refresh if you don't see the latest.)

Damfino

Sorry Navinabob, thanks for playing, but Ron always seemed like he'd rather be eating than running the race. Although that was a great moment a few weeks ago when Ron threw a rock at that bus.

Navinabob

Thanks, I'm surprised they did as well as they had been really. I'm not upset seeing as I have 4 teams I'm still rooting for in the race

JuryDuty

I agree. At this point, I'd only be upset if Kent and Vyxin won, mostly because of Kent's abrasive personality. Every other team is very likable and deserving.

Damfino

I didn't bump this thread Sunday night because it was a non-elim round and we didn't lose anybody. Then I simply forgot about it until now.

The main thing I wanted to say was that I knew I was taking a chance when I picked Zev & Justin, but so far it's been working out great for me and they won cars by finishing first this week!

JuryDuty

Yeah, Damfino, you picked the team to beat this time around.

Why on earth though this close to the finish of the race all the teams are sharing extremely important info with other teams is beyond me.

Sorry, outcastja. I'm not shocked the Cowboys got u-turned, but I am surprised they were the only ones. Once it was down to the Globetrotters and the Cowboys, I figured the first to the board would U-turn the other team.

Meanwhile, Kent and Vyxin are somehow still around... :P

Graphic updated. (Refresh if you don't see the latest.)

Damfino

Sorry Outcastja, thanks for playing. and I'd like to add that they really need to re-imagine the U-Turn thing. Having it just before the clue to the pit stop pretty much means that if one team is U-Turned, they're done. I'd much rather see the U-Turn with a Detour that precedes a Road Block, that would give the U-Turned team some time to catch up.

I am of course enjoying my team. Zev's fondue puns were great. and Zev was wearing the fondue pot clue as a hat at the pit stop.

Damfino

Sorry Sauce07, thanks for playing, but sheesh! what a whiny bitch! And Vyxsin was almost as bad!

(I know I should be impartial as the game moderator, but I couldn't resist especially since my guys benefited from their mistake)

JuryDuty

Sorry, sauce07. Next week is the finale! Man, that went fast. Now that Kent and Vyxin are out, I'd be happy if anyone won.

Gameboard updated. (Refresh if you don't see the latest.)

JuryDuty

Congrats, chowderhead! Nicely done, though I have to admit, if you'd have said LaKisha & Jennifer would have been the winners at the beginning of this race, I'd have laughed. My money was on Damfino's pick of Zev & Justin, but Justin was right--that leg was just dead-set against them.

Gameboard updated. (Refresh if you don't see the latest.)

chowderhead

Thanks Damfino and JuryDuty for running the game. I would have bet the house on Jet and Cord ... Jet looked really pissed to be there clapping. They really gave away the ending (at least that Zev/Justin were out in the first leg and also at bit with Jen/Kisha).

Damfino

Congratulations chowderhead! Please send me your name and email address by PM and a $22 Amazon GC will be on its way to you!

...and my thanks to all of you for participating in another successful game! and special thanks to JuryDuty for the graphics!

JasonF

Argh! So close. But I guess I just put my money on the wrong cab driver team.

Anyway, thanks for running this thing, Damfino. Having this competition certainly makes the show more fun to root for.

Fist of Doom

Ha! Joke's on you, chowderhead. You have to spend $3 of your own money to get free shipping.



to Damfino and JuryDuty for running the game.

Groucho

Missed it by that much!

Congrats to Damfino and JuryDuty, and thanks to Chowderhead for winning the game!

Damfino

Winner paid, and at least I got free shipping for buying the GC!

...and of course, we'll do this again in the fall!
