[ShainaT]

Should be a good show this week. Any team could go...so I'm just gonna keep my picks from last week.

[Ttulipss]

This game is much more unpredictable than the first season. It seemed the teams who were in first, second, and third remained in the top three positions most of the race. This time around it seems Tara and Wil are the only ones who can stay in the top three so far.

[PHReD]

Um, Bassmount , Cinifini, Trace and QueenBee... You all better get new picks in, because I have a funny feeling the twins aren't going to win... (I'd suggest Gary & Dave, cuz you know they kick butt!! LOOK AT THE HATS!)

It looks like Hattielee is the only other smart one, that realizes that nice guys finish last, and Oswald & Danny won't last much longer.

At least no one was dumb enough to vote for Gary & Dave to lose! (Did anyone want to pick them, but was afraid I'd say something??) I figured there would be at least 1 person rooting against me!

Actually, I was torn between the "happy" couple and Chris & Alex, for last place. But, I think they'll make a surprise come back, and end up in a close second behind the Men in Hats.

[bonniejeanne]

My guys on back in the lead again. I picked the wrong last team again, though. I sure was glad that Oswald and Danny didn't come in last. There were a lot of laughs from Gary and Dave this time. I loved it when they and Chris/Alex were kicking at each others taxis.

[kayemjay]

My team of Danny and Oswald are still hanging in by being polite and nice to everyone. I will be very glad when grouchy Wil and nasty Blake get eliminated. Phred, your guys do sort of grow on you. They are funny.

[PHReD]

Man, I thought for sure Danny and Oswald were gonna be gone! If they didn't get that "tour guide" they would have lost for sure. Did they not get an option for a fast forward this leg? I'm surprised no one took it, if they did...

Chippers, Colbyam, and Shania... all with the big 35! Wow, congrats!

Corgi... what can I say? I REALLY don't think the Granny's are gonna win it!

But, you all realize, it's not total points who win... The points are all entries into a random drawing. So, in theroy, Corg, with the 1 point, could still win the GC, even though Shania will have 100+ entries by the end

[crazytimes]

Oh Oh MAN! I missed this episode...

AND IT SOUNDS GREAT!! CHRIS AND ALEX ARE IN 1ST?? WOO HOO!!!

Who got in last place?? I don' t know if i got points lol...

Cyndi & Russel got the boot...

You got 2 points for choosing Cyndi & Russle, then 4 points for choosing Chris & Alex in episode 3.

Time to change the contest!! Most points should win!! Sorry, Corganiacs, but someone who picks the grannies to win can't win the Amazon GC!!!! No way!! (BTW, once a team is eliminated, they are out and cannot come back in and win the Amazing Race 2!!)

Oops! I pasted the wrong header on the picks... (I edited it now)

for the one with 5 columns, the columns are Username Winners Episode # Losers Points


Where Episode # is the episode that you picked that team to be the ultimate winners.

So, in your case, you chose Chris & Alex to be the winners in episode 4, and going into this episode, you had 10 points.

After this episode (episode 5) you got 2 points since it was the second episode that you had Chris & Alex as your winners, and another 2 points for choosing Cyndi & Russel to be eliminated. So, 10 that you had, + 2 for your winners + 2 for picking the losers = 14 total. It just happened to be coincidence that you picked them in Episode 4, and had 4 points for this episode. Does that make sense?

If you keep Chris & Alex as your winners next week, you'll get 4 points if they're not eliminated, so you'll have 18. Then you could get 2 more, if you pick the right losers, and end up with 20... If you realize that Gary & Dave are going to win, and switch to them as the ultimate winners next week, then you'll only get 1 point for them not being eliminated, and have 15, then you could get 17 total if you pick the losers...

Hopefully that clears it up a little??

I'm sorry I had the wrong column headings the first time. Caused a bit o' confusion, eh?

Let's just pretend I never asked and can blindly just go on playing.................... lalala......................... *LOL*
