Default Amazing Race 21 online pool

Invites have been sent out to all past contestants.

Rules are the same as always:

  • Amazing Race pools are played in two stages
    • Stage 1 starts when the show starts
      • Pick which team you think will be the winner (overall winner - typically worth 3 points * number of teams competing)
      • Assign 20 points to who you think will finish last each week
      • Receive the points assigned to the team who is last (whether eliminated or not)
      • You can change your overall winner pick anytime (worth 3 points * number of remaining teams)
    • Stage 2 starts during the final week (typically three teams left)
      • Assign 40 points to which team you think will win
      • Receive the points assigned to the winner of the Amazing Race
      • Receive overall winner points (1st, 2nd and 3rd place points are given)
    • All stages (Optional)
      • Answer bonus questions for additional points
      • Sample bonus questions:
        • Which team wins this week's leg?
        • Which occurs first, the Detour or the Roadblock?
  • Most points wins!
    • Total score = points won each week + bonus points + overall winner points


    If you havent played before and want to join PM me your email address and Ill swing you an invite.

I should probably pick an end team. How I am not in last I don't know, I haven't even voted once, just been too busy.

Did they just carry over my picks from last week to this week? I went in to make my picks and it says deadline passed update not allowed?

So there aren't going to be any picks for this week's leg?

It doesn't make any sense.

Last week's leg should be wrapped up within the first 10 minutes of this week's episode (either the Rockers can't find their passports and get elminated, or the Goat Farmers finish last for sucking). Then there will be a whole new leg worth nothing.

Well, gambling it all on Abbie & Ryan paid off this week for me. I was cursing my decision while watching most of this week's episode when it looked like they pulled a bait & switch in the promo.


Smart plan by the Twinnies to have the first team U-Turn Abbie & Ryan and the second team then U-Turn the first team so Abbie & Ryan couldn't U-Turn the Goat Boys.
