PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

The Weavers may be annoying at times, and their wacko performance at the bus stop was disturbing, but I don't know what they ever did to earn that much enmity from anyone. They're even Christian enough to include the safety of the other teams in their prayers.

Hi! I'm one of their cousins, and that race track is where the driver who killed Roy practices at and the town he is from....Roy was killed at the Daytona 500, where he was a supervisor on the track.

Not too many changes in positions at the first commercial break. The Gaghan family managed to jump ahead of the Paolo family and temporarily jump ahead of the Weaver family by taking a quicker route to the largest office chair.

I'd like to see more space in between the departure times, but I do like the staggered bunching zones better than complete bunches. At least the front-running teams are awarded some type of advantage for being ahead of the other competitors.

is absolutely stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't your best bet be to consistently stand and wait for the dealer to bust three times? There isn't a limit to how many times you can try, is there? You waste too much time strategizing whether to hit, stand, etc. . . .

Also, all four hands need to beat the dealer's hand, right? You risk the possibility of busting if you hit and ask for another card, ruining the whole round. From what I've seen on the screen, every winning hand so far has been on a dealer bust. Am I missing something here?

The best thing would be to not take any cards and wait for the dealer to bust... to take any cards is a waste of time because the odds of all 4 hands beating the dealer if he doesn't bust is very low. I would stand with a 7 if that is what I was dealt in this case... just stand pat... not thinking necessary.

It's an absolute waste of time trying to beat the dealer on a non-bust, and you ruin any potential dealer bust if you bust yourself. Stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, people!

None of the hands have to be 'good enough'... dealers have specific rules that they must follow. They MUST hit at 16 and MUST stand at 17 or higher... if they stood with ANYTHING and just let the dealer hit, it will bust with no help. Just let the odds work for themselves.

Nope. How good, or bad, your hands are doesn't matter. If the dealer is 16 or below he must hit his hand. If he's 17 or above, he's not allowed to hit. So, stand on whatever you have and hope (or, if you're a Weaver, pray) for a dealer bust.
