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."

"TAR7 Casino Game - Final Results & Awards" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-13-05 AT 12:58 PM (EST)
Rags To RichesIt's so amazing how Uchenna and Joyce went from begging for cash in Puerto Rico to winning a cool million in Miami. Meanwhile, Rawb has gone 0-3 for reality TV adventures. At least he has Amber. I'm sure he'll win his wedding special...  And Ron/Kelly? Well, they deserve each other. I'm actually starting to sympathize more for Kelly. Blech. Final Pitstop Results
1st place - Ron/Kelly (2x)
2nd place - Rob/Amber (even)
3rd place - Uchenna/Joyce (0x)Finish Line Results
Da Winners - Uchenna/Joyce (2x)
Da Losahs - Rob/Amber (0x)
Still in Miami - Ron/Kelly (0x) Our bonus this week was a little tricky. You were supposed to figure out which team says the word "million" first. Even though we saw Rob say the magic word in the previews, it was Uchenna who said it toward the beginning of the episode. Twice, actually. That's foreshadowing, baby!  Awards CeremonyOur final Greatest Gainer Award goes to ohmyheck who moved up 13 spots this week. That rocks. seahorse and Molaholic also had spiffy weeks, moving up 10 ranks. Niiiiiiiice.The Perfect Bet Award was a free-for-all this week. A bunch of you correctly picked Ron/Kelly for the first part, and Uchenna/Joyce for the finish line. But all of these people lost points on the bonus! Luckily, ohmyheck never listed a point value to his/her Rob/Amber pick, so I couldn't score it. Congratulations to ohmyheck for finishing +80, the highest score of the week. We had 46 players make it to the very end. Merely, finishing the game this year is pretty impressive. We've had more people bust out this season than any other, so keep that in mind. Without further ado, here are the final scores: Wait... For... It... Here... It... Comes...

46. FFantasyFX - 1A very, very close finish. Congratulations to esquire who is our official TAR7 Casino Game Grand Champion. Esquire had a somewhat slow start, but in Week 4, he/she entered the Top 5 at #3. Esquire stayed the Top 5 for most of the rest of the season, overall 6 times. Esquire made a huge push at the end of the game, moving into #1 for the final two weeks. Thanks to an aggressive betting strategy, taking a few risks, and a little luck, esquire is the TAR7 Casino Game Grand Champion. You now join the zombiebaby (TAR5) and VA Slim (TAR6) in the Hall of Fame. The TAR Casino Game Hall of Fame is currently under construction. We're still trying to get a suitable architect. You hear that, Gehry? Our awesome Survivor ABC-host tribephyl is our 2nd place finisher and tvgeek401 finishes in 3rd place. Congratulations you guys. That's pretty darn impressive. You guys rock! And to think, tribe, that you busted out last season. I'm so proud of you. You prove that anything can happen from season-to-season.
And tvgeek, you didn't blow it after all! You gotta have more confidence, g. Interestingly, esquire, tribephyl, and tvgeek401 each never had a negative score for any individual week. Not once. Other players to do this were laureli, alwaysintruble1, bed332004, and PrimeCupEevee. Nice job, you guys. Back in TAR5, I felt that it was necessary to give out one final honorary award. Neobie, who had won 6-8 legs that season, felt short in the final weeks. I felt that he needed some recognition for playing such a consistent game. I awarded him the honorary Colin/Christie gameplay award. Last time, I awarded the Kris/Jon gameplay award to Neobie and clemsonbeav, who both did extremely well throughout, but ultimately fell short. This year's award, obviously, is the Rob/Amber Gameplay Award. Like other years, this award is meant to honor a player who, like Rob and Amber, was consistently strong throughout the game. Although this player did not finish first, they were a force throughout the entire game, and I just have to recognize that. Congratulations to Rothschild who wins the Rob/Amber Gameplay Award. And it's well deserved. Rothschild finished in the Top 5 in 9 of the 10 weeks. That's incredible. Although you ultimately finished at a cool #10, your amazing streak of Top 5 finishes is hard to duplicate. Way to go! One Final NoteI would like to thank you all for playing the Casino Game this year. I say this every year, but I mean it. It's not me who keeps the Casino Game running; it's you. You guys are the ones who play the game each week. Without all you DAWs, I've got no game to run. So, thanks for playing, everyone. I'd love to give everyone a name-drop, but this entry has already gotten a little too long. These three seasons, back-to-back, have been pretty grueling. TAR is probably going to take a short hiatus, but when it comes back, the TAR Casino will be back. You can bank on it. Oh, and just as a little teaser for next year, let's just say the stakes are going to be a little higher next time... I can't wait to see it unfold... Ciao peoples! I'm going on vacation!

LAST EDITED ON 05-13-05 AT 01:12 PM (EST)Congrats Esquire, and to all of you, this is an excellent game. I am soooo glad I banked that 1 point as I just had a sneaking suspicion my bets might be worng and I didn't want to be booted in the final episode. I'll take a tie with FFFX any day! And to Jims, thanks so much for running this terrific game, I look forward to it every week. You are creative and I can't wait to see what you do for next season.

Congrats esquire!!!
I so thought I might have a chance this season and to see that only 2 points seperated us fills me with such pride. 2nd place ain't so bad.
Specially because, as Jims noted, I was a bar-stool warmer last season.Thanks Jims for the game and for the LL guest-host spot as well. You are a true champion and friend. Way to go!!! Have fun on your vacation and I'll see you after the hiatus. tribe

Jims - Thank you for running a great game. I stumbled on to it last year and I have reallly enjoyed it. I am particularly honored to be in your Hall of Fame. No one has ever selected me for a Hall of Fame before and I look forward to the induction ceremony.To tribephyl - Congratulations on a good game. When the winning margin is that small, it really is just luck that determined the final result. To everyone else, I appreciate your congratulations and your very welcome. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, my high school track team coach once told me the hardest thing to do in sports is not win a championship, but to successfully defend a championship. I look forward to that challenge in the Fall. Until then, Jims, enjoy your well deserved vacation.

Good job esquire, congrats!
Thanks, Jims, for another fun game. Seeing as how I finished about in the same place as last time, I think I need to get a little troll doll, or a rabbit's foot or something before next season.
Have a great vacation.

Congrats to esquire! Here is a little warning...since winning TAR5 I don't think I have been out of the bottom 5 in both TAR6 & TAR7! I just can't get any groove going and now we actually have to wait for the next edition! I got spoiled! Thanks to Jims and his sneaky bonus games! 
One more of J Slice's Awesome Creations!
