Amazing Race - Unfinished Business - Pool 2

[CaptainCrunch]

I have to give Gary and Mallory all the credit in the world, they ran a really good race last night.

The Cowboys plain and simple screwed up completely, and restarting that leg killed them. The Globetrotters made a pretty savvy move with the Uturn though, I wished someone had uturned the Goths because frankly that guy is really annoying to watch.

I have to give credit to the girls team, that woman had no clue about the distance and had lost her map yet she over heard the distance in the conversation.

If I had been the guy in front of her, when she asked "22 right" instead of confirming it, I would have said, "nope 27"

I can't believe the two friends mowed through that cheese, they're going to have some problems the next day.

A pile of us lost the Cowboys as overall pick, make sure you change your choice before next race.
Reg75 had the best week overall...

The Goths are pissing me off. I want them to get eliminated every week and they manage to not only stay alive but be in the top 3 or 4. The guy is such a little bitch and it is annoying as hell to watch.

Please be eliminated tonight, if there is a god, please!

[CaptainCrunch]

She's not as bad as he is, that guy is just incredibly whiney.

do not miss tonites race...great episode.

Daaaaaaaaaamn! Pretty big screw up there, but I'm glad it saved Zev and Justin.

[CaptainCrunch]

Didn't want to spoil it but what a dumb way to go out. And the fact that he was blaming her was hilarious.

[D to the iddy]

I don't know who's the bigger moron between Kynt and Vixson. HIM for blaming her and telling her that her negativity is hurting the team, or HER for saying that he's the best teammate ever at the end of the show. Mind Boggling!

Next week is the two hour finale, and if you've played with us before, you know all this - but if this is your first pool with us, a few points about the finale. First, you get 40 points instead of 20, but more importantly, you are putting them on the winner, not who gets eliminated. Additionally, the bonus questions are worth more: 10 points for who finishes 2nd, and 5 points for who finishes 3rd. Finally, we will award the overall winner points. If your overall winner pick wins, you get the max amount of points (depends upon when you picked them - the max is 33 if you picked during week 1). If they finish 2nd, you get 1/2 the max points, and if they finish 3rd, you'll get 1/4 the max points. This time they have 4 in the finale, and if your overall is fourth, you'll get zero points.

see above and here are rankings for this week. 55pts + 33pts for your initial first place winner are up for grabs on last week...lots of room for movement.





Thanks to Flexamail

Well this was fun, hopefully I can push myself to get in the top 5.

We should do this again for the next race (would it be in September), this was a great one to do.

[D to the iddy]

Picks made. If this was poker, I would be "All-in".

I'd say the whole two hours has been great, and there is still 10 min left

[CaptainCrunch]

Color me surprised at the team that did win the race. But overall this was a very good season of Amazing race.

jus_sum_guy had a great last Race and won the pool...congrats, he was the only one to pick Kisha and Jen from the start!!
Looks like Angie Stang and Regulator figured it out and finished strong as well...next Race should be much better now that we have this figured out.

[jus_sum_guy]

That was fun!

Thanks Cheese for putting this on!

I felt bad for Gary and Mallory for getting that ignorant Cab Driver, he cost them a million bucks. I would have been inclined to get a different cab.
Setting up that last trailer site in the wind storm was very tough.

I dont think I laughed so hard watching Zev try to dance in Brazil...really reminded me of Steve Martins "The Jerk". White boy rythym for sure LOL.
Then getting waxed after that....I was just about in tears I LOLed so hard.

Great episode and Im glad they didnt have the match each character with each stop crap they had the last few finales.
