Survivor Blows
That's why I watch The Amazing Race.
Okay, I watch Survivor too. I just thought it was funny how Survivor-y they got with some of the camera angles and stuff. It was very un-Amazing Race, you know? Like, all those slo-mo shots of Brendon/Rachel walking through the jungle. I think seeing Rachel in the jungle might be giving CBS some ideas...
(Oh gawd, can you imagine what a trainwreck that would be?)
I've never been a big Joey/Meghan guy, but they kind of won me over this year. They're still kind of insufferable YouTube people (a special brand of annoying outgoingness), but I gotta give them some props.

Missing Payout Points
So, when scoring the entries this week, I just now noticed that the payout table was missing .2x overall, making Week 3 slightly more difficult than usual for us. I guess if it's going to be a difficult leg for the racers, it may as well be for us. Sorry about that!
Despite this blunder, it was another solid week for scoring, although not like super-godlike like the first two weeks were. We kind of passed over Dave/Connor just a little bit in favor for Jet/Cord, but it was still a solid return nonetheless.
Also, a big welcome back to pepperz, who joined this week.
This week's Greatest Gainer Award goes to IanQuentin and louislam, who each climbed 4 ranks this week. Way to go!
And, once again, the Perfect Bet Award goes to IanQuentin, with a 1.9x payout for the week. You're gonna have to build a new case for all that hardware you're racking up! :p

michiganlargefan extends his (her?) lead with a perfect Dave/Connor/Cowboys wager, but it is still a very close race for the top spot. Anything can happen!
