"TAR16 Casino Game - Wk2 Results / Wk3 Entry"
Posted by Jims02 on 03-03-10 at 08:04 PM
LAST EDITED ON 03-03-10 AT 08:05 PM (EST)goes to both Yogi and CTgirl, who both climbed 11 ranks into the Top 10 overall. These two obviously got the same plane tickets for their trip to the top of the Leaderboard. Nice job, you too!It's also the Wk3 Results, not Week 2. This is what I get for copying and pasting.
Sketchy Behavior
Oh, Amazing Race, you've given yourself away now.
I remember the original Alvin & the Chipmunks movie from the 1980s. I was a child of that decade. I remember that race around the world was just a diamond smuggling operation.
They used to good at hiding the diamond smuggling on The Amazing Race, but it's so completely obvious now. I mean, they had the people dig up bags from the ground and deliver them to real life bandits. I mean, how much more obvious can they get?
What I can't figure out yet in this scheme is why they make the smugglers do the lasso tasks and stuff like that. It ended up causing Monique & Shawne to be eliminated, who were, I suspect, arrested by the feds on smuggling charges.
It's not a race... They're all running from the law!
Anyway!
Week 3 Smuggling Results
1st place - Jet/Cord (2x)
2nd place - Steve/Allie (1.6x)
3rd place - Carol/Brandy (1.5x)
4th place - Joe/Heidi (1.4x)
5th place - Jordan/Jeff (even)
6th place - Dan/Jordan (.6x)
7th place - Brent/Caite (.5x)
8th place - Louie/Michael (.4x)
9th place - Monique/Shawne (0x)All Present!
Pretty solid week overall. Jet & Cord continue their dominant performance for the second straight week, while the usual sucky contenters (I'm looking at you, Louie & Michael) continued to be sucky.
We did have one player bust out of the game, Estee, who was done in by an overestimation of Monique & Shawne's ability to lasso. It could be worse, though. She could've been eliminated by a simple Kafka jumble. So there's always that.
Thanks for playing, Estee.
The Greatest Gainer Award
The Perfect Bet Award goes to kidflash212, beau_30, Snidget, Molaholic, and jbenz, who each doubled-up this week. Very cool.
Also, I've heard through the grapevine that all the cool people post weekly Lvoe Lists and comment on the public transportation on the show.
Also, go read bacon's TAR summary and laugh. But don't laugh at bacon. That's against the rules.

KwietOne has now taken the lead. The game has gotten even more competitive this week, the entire Top 10 being separated by half of a full wager. Should be interesting to see what happens.
