The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...c4f13e60a4.jpg

Welcome To The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game No. 16, The Fall 2020 Edition! It's been a year and a half since our last game, so it's great to have the show back!

The season premiere is Wednesday, October 14. This season is filling in for Survivor which has been unable to film due to Covid-19.

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $5, everyone chooses a team to latch on to before the start of the season. If that team ends up winning race, then YOU will win a $55 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

We will be using the First-to-Post selection method for the draft. You may post 1 and only 1 team during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first team in the post. If they have already been taken, you will need to post again.

The drafts will be held Monday, October 12 at 9:00 PM EDT (6 PM Pacific). The second draft will be held a half hour later at 930 EDT, 630 Pacific. The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

This season's 11 teams:

Riley And Maddison (Pro Volleyball Players)
Will And James (Dating)
Gary And DeAngelo (Former NFL Players)
Nathan And Cody (Best Friends)
Hung And Chee (Married Parents)
Kaylynn And Haley (Sisters)
Jerry And Frank (Father And Son)
Aparna And Eswar (Siblings)
Michelle And Victoria (Sisters)
Kellie And Lavonne (Former Olympic Hurdlers)
Alana and Leo


You may learn more about the teams at the CBS web site: http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/

Post now if you want to play and I will contact you with my PayPal information by Private Message.

Bopper Rule: If for whatever reason, an announced contestant that you drafted is replaced by a substitute during the show, you will get the substitute in place of your original pick.

Please do not edit or delete posts during the draft, if your pick has already been taken or you were too early, you will need to post again. Screen captures will be taken during the draft and violations of this rule will result in your pick being revoked and you will be given the last unclaimed team in the draft (AKA the Quack play).

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EDT Sunday October 11. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to another player.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name along with "Amazing Race Game" in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the Send money to a friend option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out and an unclaimed team wins, the prize will go to whoever has the highest finisher.

Good Luck!

Always and forever in. Can't believe it's taken them this long to release this season. Wasn't it filmed like 2-3 years ago?

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

I’ll play

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

Yes Fall 2018.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

do we know how many seasons they have in the can?

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

I thought these games were dead. I’m in!

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

They started shooting the next season but shut down after 2 or 3 legs because of COVID restrictions

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

The Survivor game is ending. We were always planning on having an Amazing Race since you only need eleven players and Survivor needs 18-20 players.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

Well shit, this is going to suck. I'm not sure when this show will ever be able to film again, so this could be the final season.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

As far as I understand it, the winner can't get their reward until the final episode airs and the winner is known. So has the winner been waiting 2 years to get their $1mil check? That sounds a bit frustrating.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

All above are in.

great to see some new players this season!

There will now be a second draft a half hour after the first.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

I don't understand when do we pay and when do we pick?

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

I retired from the Survivor game due to a lack of interest in the fall of 2019. The all winners edition moderated by lwhy? Last spring was successful, so I will consider running another Survivor game if the interest returns to normal.

You have to pay Damfino via Paypal before the draft. He will email you his Paypal information. Everything is listed in the first post.

"We will be using the First-to-Post selection method for the draft. You may post 1 and only 1 team during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first team in the post. If they have already been taken, you will need to post again.

We will start with one draft on Monday October 12. If there is sufficient demand a second draft will be held.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

I’m sending the payment info now. The draft will be October 12. All of the details are in the first post.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

There will be a second draft a half hour after the first, so there are 11 spots available.

I will allow second entries at a later date, but right now I’d like to get as many unique entries as possible. Also, some of our regulars haven’t responded yet.

Re: The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game -- Fall 2020 Edition
 

Add me for the second draft.
