I almost picked the team you ended up with. They look like a strong team, but I always worry that the strongest teams will get U-turned.

I always pick who will be both smart and athletic. Not my fault my team got screwed by a shitty cab driver last season.

Apparently I also forgot to subscribe to the thread as I usually do for drafting games. I just happened to be on the site and saw this in New Posts and got that sinking feeling.

Thing is, I might have picked them anyway because I've decided that young, boy-girl teams are the way to go. And yes, that means I've completely abandoned the model that won me the last game. The strategy, however, remains the same: Come into the draft late and pick the best of the scraps.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm just hoping that they're well liked enough, or that everyone wants to play fair or that they're super fast getting to any u turns.

Well, I'm going to blame you anyways and I hope that I crush you again.

I don't know if anyone has seen the promos for this week, but they are promoting
Spoiler:
that 3 teams quit in the first episode. I hope 3 of us aren't out already after the first episode.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Spring 2013 Edition
promos are never misleading! They can't have three teams quit on the first leg and messing up their schedule.

Well, crap, I just threw $6 down the toilet by completely missing both drafts. I think next year I may just do graphics and call it a day LOL!

Graphic update coming...

I'm sure it's like the time Rob quit a challenge and got other teams to quit, too. They all get a 4-hour penalty.

Assuming this is true they could simply add extra non-elimination legs.

I've seen the promo and it seems convincing enough, so it's probably a very clever mis- direction.

I wonder if this might have something to do with the slow sales for our game this season?

Race starts in about 15 minutes.

I really feel sorry for all of you who didn't have the guts to double-up on the least likely to win.

We'll see who's laughing at the end of the race.
