LAST EDITED ON 10-12-11 AT 10:17 PM (EST)goes to several people this week, each of which climbed 9 ranks. Congratulations to Molaholic, samboohoo, qwertypie, and esquire. Enjoy your 1/4th of a trophy, you guys.
Counting Your Blessings?
I'm not sure if that pun actually makes any sense or not because I don't know if "blessings" are necessarily a part of Buddhism... But I love me a good pun, even if it's nonsense.
Anyway, it was interesting to see another one of those no-bunching legs. It's the kind of episode that makes you wonder if bunching is necessarily a bad thing at all, since it keeps things unpredictable. But, on the other hand, no bunching makes the last leg feel more important to the race as a whole. And it wasn't like the racers stayed in exactly the same order anyway. That Buddha-counting task really shuffled things around.
Week 2 Results
1st place - Andy/Tommy (2x)
2nd place - Laurence/Zac (1.8x)
3rd place - Jeremy/Sandy (1.2x)
4th place - Justin/Jennifer (1.1x)
5th place - Ernie/Cindy (even)
6th place - Amani/Marcus (.9x)
7th place - Bill/Cathi (.8x)
8th place - Liz/Marie (.2x)
9th place - Kaylani/Lisa (0x)Totally Radical
Of course, no bunching at the beginning of the episode also means that the top teams tend to stay the top teams... Which meant a lot of Andy/Tommy and Laurence/Zac wagers... Which meant a lot of points going out the Casino vault...
We at the TAR Casino Game would like to make our Pro-Bunching stance known to the various bunching lobbying groups, so give me a call if you know any TAR Producers.
The Greatest Gainer Award
What, you think I'm going to buy 4 trophies? Did you see how many points the Casino lost this week?
The Perfect Bet Award goes to esquire, who doesn't have to share this award with no one. esquire was the only player to double-up this week with an All-In bet on Andy/Tommy. Nicely done.

Good luck!
Nutzy and I started with the same point total last week, placed the same bets, and we have different scores this week. I'm confused. edit: never mind, I'm not paying close enough attention. she started with 6 more points than I did, thus the difference in scores. Glad I didn't go with why does Max get his own individual bet? Max Individual Bet - 55 points LAST EDITED ON 10-13-11 AT 10:18 AM (EST) Since I am in 28th place, winning both the Perfect Bet Award and The Greatest Gainer Trophy last week may be the highlight of my season. Since it worked last week, lets try again. All in on Andy/Tommy
55 Andy/Tommy 55 on Laurence/Zac Edited to add the 7. I misunderstood the max bet. Duh. Just another Sleeperbloke
Bank the rest.
What a week! 31 Jims on Plus 31 Jims on
All in on Zac and Laurence
30 on Andy/Tommy The Amazing Race Fan from Hong Kong!
20 points on Andy/Tommy
25 pts Andy/Tommy
55 points Andy/Tommy
52. Points laurence / Zac 52. Points Andrew/ Tommy 55 - Tommy and Andy An incredibly boring bet I know but the challenges seem tailor made for the sailors and the snowboarders!
Laurence/Zac x 55 20 points on Laurence/Zac 55 on Laurence/Zac 23 ~ Andy and Tommy 55 points - Andy/Tommy
Andy Griffith and Tommy Pickles would definitely be a more entertaining team than the real Andy and Tommy.

All your boring wager are belong to us.
55 points - Laurence/Zac
When you have 110 points and the max bet is 55, you're kind of obligated to bet that way. It's like a rule.
