East to West
Looks like this will be another one of those "West to East" seasons that they seem to be doing lately. It's interesting they do it this way, because I've always felt like the Asia legs are slightly more challenging than the Europe ones. But this is All Stars after all, so it makes sense.
Also, can't say I'm that upset about the Twinnies going first, either.
Week 1 Results
1st place - Jet/Cord (2x)
2nd place - Brendon/Rachel (1.6x)
3rd place - Dave/Connor (1.3x)
4th place - Margie/Luke (1.2x)
5th place - Leo/Jamal (1.1x)
6th place - Mark/Mallory (even)

8th place - Jessica/John (.8x)
9th place - Caroline/Jennifer (.7x)
10th place - Joey/Meghan (.4x)
11th place - Natalie/Nadiya (0x)
For scoring purposes, we treated all Bopper/Mark wagers as Mark/Mallory instead. Luckily they finished with 1x, so everything ended up back at square one anyway.
Good Week 1
Pretty solid Week 1 overall. There were a lot of Jet/Cord wagers, which certainly helped matters, as well as a smattering of Dave/Connor ones. Actually, not a single player ended up with less than their original 20 starting points, which has got to be some kind of record.
Most successful TAR Casino wagerers ever? Quite possibly. And all it took was a giant board hacking.
Weekly awards will start next week.
