PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"TAR17 Casino Game - Finale Entry!" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-08-10 AT 11:21 PM (EST)A Close RaceI don't know about any of you, but I was on the edge of my seat during the end of that episode. Oh, you think I'm talking about who was going to be eliminated? Of course I wasn't. I was talking about the race for 2nd and 3rd place. Nick & Vicki weren't even in the ballpark of "suspenseful television" this week.  Week 11 Results
1st place - Jill/Thomas (2x)
2nd place - Brook/Claire (2.2x)
3rd place - Nat/Kat (.2x)
4th place - Nick/Vicki (0x) Curse You, TAR Editors!
A picture is worth a thousand words. Not cool, guys. Anyway, the Greatest Gainer Award goes to both MzTee, who climbed 5 ranks this week into the Top 20. Very nicely done.The Perfect Bet Award goes to both ARNutz and MzTee for scoring the 2.2x score on the Brook/Claire wagers. They may have finished 2nd overall, but that (+0.4) can really help! Very good job!  Leaderboard

24. Nume - 9
25. kduck - 3
26. Element King - 1 As you can see, Yogi still sits atop the standings. However, the game is still not out of reach for several players. Considering the regular wager and any bonus wagering and it's not quite a runaway yet! It's still going to be a challenge, though. I do charge 5 points to use the Casino Calculator, though. So if you're going to do the Jeopardy Math, you gotta bring your own. Finale Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - Break Even
3rd place - 0x As shown below, there are no Loser Bonuses this week. Partially because it's the finale and partially because none of the teams were below the like anyway. As usual, the final payouts are determined by the order at the finish line of the race. Since it's the final week, I give everyone the opportunity to make a secret wager via private message. Players may choose to send me their picks via private message to me. I'm going to post my picks early, so you don't have to worry about me peeking at them.  Bonus Game - A Cool "Million"As always, for the finale bonus game, players may wager on which team they think will say the word "million" first. Variations on the word count, such as "millions", "millionaire", or "dodecamillionhedron". As a special one-time bonus, if a team says that third sample word, then everyone who has a Garfield signature wins a 1,000,000 point bonus. All I'm looking for are the letters M-I-L-L-I-O-N in sequence. Spoken, of course. Million Payout Table
Correct Answer - 3x
Incorrect Answer - 0xMax Bet - 175 points If no contestant says "million" in the episode (it hasn't happened so far, though), then there is no correct answer and all bets get 0x. TAR17 Teams Remaining
Brook/Claire
Jill/Thomas
Nat/Kat Good luck, everyone! This is the most important wager of the season, so thing good and hard about it! And don't forget, if you wish to keep your wager private this week, feel free to PM me. 
Seriously, if someone said "dodecamillionhedron" in the next episode, I'd deserve the 1,000,000 points for being frickin' psychic.

1. "RE: TAR17 Casino Game - Finale Entry!" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-10-10 AT 01:57 AM (EST)Even though I have tumbled down the rankings due to my Nat/Kat wager, I surprisingly don't have any regrets about it. I play at a competitive disadvantage this final week (by posting my picks early and publicly), so my main shot of winning is to take the lead beforehand. That's mostly why you see me zigging a lot when people are zagging. (Although given that Yogi ended up betting on Jill/Thomas and Nat/Kat, I should've gone Brook/Claire and then hope J/T finishes 3rd. Even if J/T finished 3rd, I don't know if my Nat/Kat wager would've passed him anyway... But now I'm over analyzing, as I always do when I play games.) Anyway, I gots 161 points left, which is still a decent total. 140 points - Brook/Claire Banking 21 points, so I can finish in the black no matter what.
As of Dec. 10th, I still haven't gotten any PMs yet, so I edited this message because I suddenly have a weird feeling about Brook/Claire winning. Call it intuition, I guess.
