featherfish81 504 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 02-13-16, 05:18 PM (EST) "Detours" Which detour would you have chosen? Mariachi madness - find the mariachi members not actually playing -or- Great bulls of fire - make a paper mache bull and set it on fire Normally search tasks aren't the way to go, but I think I would have chosen it over building stuff. And seeing the way the teams finished, looks like that would have been a good choice.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I do wonder about one thing - would touching the instrument have been against the rules? It was so loud, I would put my hand on the horn to see if I felt vibrations.

And the 300+ musicians with the cacophony of sound would make the Mariachi task almost impossible. The strings could be eliminated pretty quickly though, it should be easy to see of the bows were on the strings, or if the fingers were actually hitting the strings. So maybe just checking out the horns would have made that task possible. I still would go with the Fireworks. And whatever the one team did to get the wheel to spin off of the bull - they should get extra points for that.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Detours - Episode 2" Pop-Up - Build a shelter on the beach -or- Parrilla - Cook and properly plate fish While I can cook, I think I would have gone with building. You can't really hurry cooking, but you can make building go faster.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 19157 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-23-16, 09:30 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Detours - Episode 2" Cooking. Too many details in the building project. It doesn't take long to cook a fish.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

If I ever could run this race, it would probably be with my older son. He is pretty good at putting things together and is tall and strong. I can put things together pretty well, so I would probably go with building. And fire also is fun!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

personofinterest 262 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 03-03-16, 03:52 PM (EST) 10. "episode 3" Corn hole with explosives or begging on a bus. Anything with explosives works for me! It also looked pretty easy. Everyone seemed to hit at least one target, while the teams who chose the bus seemed to have problems at least getting started.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

featherfish81 504 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 03-04-16, 06:04 AM (EST) 12. "RE: episode 3" Yeah, definitely the tossing one. I would hate begging people for money.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Detours" LAST EDITED ON 03-04-16 AT 02:10 AM (EST) Explosives of-course. How could one turn that down?

"RE: Detours" A pretty and vivacious young woman could get the bus challenge done pretty quickly, as was demonstrated. Those Latinos responded to the feminine come-on promise of a Beso. But I'm not one of those, so the grenade challenge would have been my best bet, beside being more fun.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

featherfish81 504 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 03-05-16, 10:16 PM (EST) 14. "Episode 4" In Switzerland, your choice: Workbench - Make a Swiss Army Knife -or- Benchwork- Count how many people can sit on the longest wooden bench in the world This was a tough choice. Counting people on the bench sounded much easier, though I am decent at putting together puzzles so hopefully I would have chosen that, given how much trouble people had with the bench.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Earl Colby Pottinger 2230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-06-16, 06:39 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Episode 4" I would had done benchwork - I think you could just do a few sittings and then using the supports as standard spacing I would calculate how many people could sit down on the bench.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 19157 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-07-16, 09:27 AM (EST) 16. "RE: Episode 4" Benchwork. No Brainer. Just see how many page widths there were between bench supports, then count the bench supports and multiply the two to get the answer. You wouldn't even need to disturb the chess players. I can't imagine the difficulty in assembling a Swiss Army knife.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Earl Colby Pottinger 2230 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-07-16, 12:09 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Episode 4" Agree on how to do the benchwork task but I would do it for three supports to handle rounding errors. As for the Swiss knife, the old guy was able to do it, but he did carefully and slow (he was like a surgeon) while the guys who hurried were one mistake from coming in last, I saw those parts go flying on the one guy who made a mistake.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Episode 4" I'm not sure, but I think you had to at least go through the pretense of sitting down on the whole bench, even if you did the math to get the correct answer. When they got the answer wrong they had to go back and do the whole thing again, even for the team that had the answer given to them.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Episode 5" I didn't get the titles, but your two choices were to: Deliver explosives and lunch to an Alpine crew -or- Set up a camp site including a wind break Normally I can set up a camp fairly quickly, but given the cold, I would hopefully have gone for delivering the explosives, which looked much quicker.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Detours" If they mentioned that the explosives would be set off I would for sure do the lunch and explosive task. Without knowing that I would make the mistake in thinking that setting up the camp was the faster task. I would of-course be wrong.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

However, it made me nervous watching them do the tasks, and I am not even afraid of heights! If I had to choose, I would always go with blowing up stuff! And I probably would have been too cold to focus on the details needed to set up a winter camp.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 19157 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-24-16, 11:29 AM (EST) 22. "RE: Detours" I would have gone for the explosive task, and fallen off the mountain.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

So last week's choice was: Thread - sew a row of 200 stitches on an Armenian rug -or- Bread - bake 15 sheets of traditional bread I think I would have gone with thread. I'm fairly detail oriented, and once I got the hang of it could probably go fairly quickly.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Episode 8" This time you could either race racing camels on a bike or walk them to an oasis. I'm not the fastest biker, but the fact that you got a head start each subsequent time made it doable. I think I would have gone for that, since getting animals to behave can be a tricky task.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Your choice: Haul - carry fifty coconuts and four chickens across a bridge -or- Harvest - propel a traditional canoe along a marked course and then collect enough seaweed to cover a tarp Unlike all of the teams, I would have chosen harvest. Seaweed is pretty easy to pick, and that sounded much easier than making multiple trips with coconuts and chickens.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Episode 11" This week, your choices are: Commute - Navigate a path on a small segway-type scooter -or- Artwork - Take some art to a gallery and put it up on the wall in the proper arrangement Tough choice this week. I might have tried commute, because finding directions when you don't speak the language can be tough.
