I think Scott & Blair are still available. If so, I'll take them.

After my first pick was taken, I tried picking again.



Fortunately I still got my second pick.

I don't remember that 10 second rule. It might be new to prevent computer generated spamming.

The last 3 teams tonight are the same 3 that went last on Tuesday!

I often see a 10-second rule between searches when I hit New Posts too quickly. Same idea, I guess.

And here's the game graphic...

(Refresh to see the latest...)

Premiere day morning bump!

Looks like we've got a game of stare out to see who gets the Quack play!

The good part about having two teams is that I'm most likely NOT going to be out of the game after one episode!

I'm in for the mother/son team. (Going for the ALMOST-Quack play here.)

The draft is now complete:

Winky - Burnie and Ashley
Damfino - Kurt and Brodie
lwhy? - Zach and Rachel
CKMorpheus - Cameron and Darius
Davidh777 - Dana and Matt
buckeyes8604 - Tyler and Korey
Navinabob - Jessica and Brittany
LaxBandit - Erin and Joslyn
JuryDuty - Scott and Blair
TimeAndTide - Sheri and Cole
Postermen - Marty and Hagan

Good luck to everyone tonight. So glad to get another season so soon!

The saddest part of these games is that we usually lose somebody the night after the draft, but not this season...

We got a non-elimination leg for the first week!

...which is good because I'd have already lost one of my two drafts.

The moral of the story? 1) I really should have watched a couple pre-race videos to rule out some of my choices and 2) I really should have shown up for the second night's draft! :P

I like the non-elimination in the first leg. It gives the teams a little more time to get settled in, and prevents one really bad mistake from costing them the race. I wonder if Justin and Diana almost going home the first leg of last season made them decide to do it this time.

Man, that was a close shave. We'll see if they get a hard or easy speed bump in the next leg and can survive a bit longer.

I didn't watch any videos, but I was in the same spot as you were in the first draft and I was OK with Scott and Blair as the most promising of the parent-child teams. He sure didn't look good dropping his pieces and wandering around, though. He looked old, which he is relative to the competition.

I think I agree, and not just because it was my team.

Well... I don't have the highest hopes for my team. Feels like they'll last 5 or 6 more episodes but that's about it.

Sorry Ralph and postermen, thanks for playing.

For those of you who haven't seen the flight attendant video on YouTube yet, it is certainly worth a look.

What an ending though. I was sure the editing was just messing with us, but when that cab drove by... oh man.

I feel that way about Erin & Joslyn, but I'm really happy with my Tyler & Korey pick. They seem very strong, just hope they don't peak too early.

I'm with you on that one! I took a completely blind pick this year, and maybe it'll actually do well.

Sorry to Ralph and postermen. When they were walking down the trail and the cab drove by I was surprised, too. I thought for sure the editing was going to try and fake us out as usual...

Blair and Scott survived the speed bump! Maybe it wasn't superhard, but I've seen a lot of easier ones. I like rooting for her, but she's annoying.

Matt and Dana didn't look as impressive as they did the first week, but the emerald thing was bad luck paired with a lack of understanding what an emerald was. And then some inattenuation on the beach awning.

Sorry Damfino & CKMorpheus. These teams just haven't figured out the importance of reading their clue a second time.

Sorry CKMorpheus, our guys just didn't seem to get into the race. At least we both have second picks. Your dancers and my frisbee guys are doing well.

Whew! I thought Zach and Rachel were out when she couldn't count the pesos.
