The Amazing Race 7 contest

[chippers21]

This weeks questions: (Good luck everyone!)

1. Meredith/Gretchen will come in last this week.
2. Neither Ron/Kelly nor Uchenna/Joyce will come in first this week.
3. Rob/Amber will stay in the top 3 AND Ray/Deana will not be in the top 3. (Both must happen for this statement to be true)
4. Uchennna/Joyce will finish in front of Rob/Amber this week.

Rest assured I have received many guesses on the true-false questions for this week. But right now they remain in my in-box as I have been swamped with family/work activity. I will get to them before tomorrows show. Liz/chippers

No rush Chippers!! You take care of what you need to and deal with stuff in your "real" life. Us reality show contest members aren't in any hurry.

(How 'bout those Tar Heels?? From working on Franklin Street, something tells me that Chapel Hill is gonna be a crazy place this weekend!)

Do you really work on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill?? I had no idea you lived so close. We should meet and get a cup of coffee sometime. Two of my kids are Chapel Hill grads and I have another son there now.

Not there anymore....lived in Raleigh for 5 yrs and in Chapel Hill for 6. We've been back up in MD since 1999. I do miss NC though.

I am basing the "correct" answers for this week on the finishing order for the first pit-stop of the show AND on who was eliminated at the end of the show. I think that is the fair way to do it.
Accordingly: the correct answers are: 1.T 2.T 3. F 4.T
Here are our surviving teams// scores for March 29 show / totals

Liz(chippers) Teams: Lynn/Alex, Ron/Kelly//0 /85

Ali (yankeechic) Teams: Rob/Amber//0 /70

Vickie (hattielee) Teams: Uchenna/Joyce, Greg/Brian, Ron/Kelly// 0/95

Kathy (kayemjay): Teams: Brian/Greg// -5/75

Matt (crazytimes) Teams: Rob/Amber//-10/95

Amy (momof3girls) Teams: Rob/Amber, Lynn/Alex, Ron/Kelly//0/95

Vina (pennywise) Teams: Uchenna/Joyce, Rob/Amber// -5/65

Kelly (kells3) Teams: Ron/Kelly, Brian/Greg//-5/70

Karen (rafala) Teams: Uchenna/Joyce //-10/75

shainaT Teams: Brian/Greg, Ron/Kelly//5/95

This week's results really tightened up the scoring. We will be having more and more minus scores as teams are eliminated.

Since I neglected to enter True False questions this week I will have 8 questions next show, and everyone will lose points according to their wrong answers. This week you can only gain points for each of your surviving teams.

Time to shake things up a bit!!!!!!

This week you may proceed with the contest as usual OR you may opt to risk your points, double or nothing. (explained below)

This weeks true/false questions:
1. The next pit stop will be a non-elimination round.
2. At least one team beats Rob/Amber to the next pit stop this week.
3. Gretchen/Meredith do NOT come in last at the next pit stop.
4. Uchenna/Joyce beat Ron/Kelly to the next pit stop.

Feeling like you do not have much chance to win? Why not risk all your points, double or nothing? (you go to 0 if you are wrong) To double your current points predict the order of finish at the next pit stop EXACTLY. List your choices from first to last for the four remaining teams. If you are right, you could take over the lead in this contest.....but if you are wrong you fall out of the running completely. So...look at your score and try to figure out your chances either way. Good luck.

Remember: Answer the 4 true-false questions to continue the game exactly as before
OR
Risk all your points for a chance to double them.
