Have a Snapple

I don't know about you, but I was really really nervous that Phil was going to give Margie/Luke a Snapple after finishing last this week. After drinking 2 gallons of tea this leg, I'm pretty sure Luke would've punched Phil in the jaw if he were offered a Snapple.

Snapple is officially The Amazing Race's version of Rice-a-Roni. We have some nice parting gifts for you.

Unfortunately, we did have a player bust out of the game, long-time TAR Casino Game veteran, mikey. Sorry it didn't work out this season. Please feel free to enjoy some complimentary cocktails Snapple in the Casino lounge.

Special shout-out this week to jbenz, who is a stand-up guy. He missed his entry two weeks ago and had a friend of his post it. He never got back to me to confirm it, so I ended up throwing out the wager (per the rules). Ironically, if his bet was submitted, he would've lost a point on it. So, it was a kind of a good thing he never got back to me. Win-win.

Well, in this past entry jbenz owned up to the bet and adjusted his score himself from 30 points to 29... Even though he really had no incentive to do so. I mean, we're only talking about 1 point here, but it was still really cool of him to call it on himself. It's like a pro golfer who calls a penalty on himself, even if no one saw it.

Bravo to you, sir.

Some big scores on the leaderboard, but relatively speaking, it's a very tight race between them. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Another uneven payout table. Good luck.

Here's the Bonus Payout Table for the week.

This week, if you're the only person to get a specific bonus wager correct (and everyone else is wrong), you get double the bonus payout for that wager. In other words, you'll score 12x on that 8-point wager.

Plus the smug satisfaction of everyone else going 0x on that bet.

Sorry again for the scare this week with no entry (especially after my tirade). With no message from me, I can see how it looked like I went off the deep end.

I was, uh, "less than rational" last Sunday.
