Slumdog Millionaire?

...Well, at least two of people on the show are going to be.

This week, The Amazing Race took the teams through the Obligatory India Leg. Compared to other seasons, the traffic and travel was relatively tame. It's amazing what happens when you don't go through Mumbai on a busy day.

In the end Christie/Jodi just couldn't make up all the time and got eliminated. They actually had a pretty good leg too, considering the Speed Bump.

Week 6 Results
1st place - Tammy/Victor (2x)
2nd place - Mel/Mike (1.4x)
3rd place - Lakisha/Jennifer (1.2x)
4th place - Margie/Luke (1.1x)
5th place - Cara/Jaime (even)
6th place - Mark/Michael (.3x)
7th place - Christie/Jodi (0x)

Staying PAT

Overall, the ranking didn't change too much. Probably due to the fact that only two people guessed the PAT correctly, which limited the huge gains for the week.

Speaking of which, the PAT is one of my favorite bonus games, because it's so pointless but fun to root for. To be sitting at home, hooting and hollering at the screen over who's going to finish 4th. And seeing Lakisha/Jennifer, Margie/Luke, and Cara/Jaime all heading there at the same time. It was definitely more exciting than the race for first, that's for sure.

This week's Perfect Bet Award goes to Jims02 (4.88x), who bet on the first place team and got the PAT correctly. I must say, I'm amazed at how awesome his wagering is. In the "Non-Host" competition, the award would go to esquire (3.15x), who managed the same thing. With higher point totals, it's harder to rack up ridiculous multipliers.

...But I guess that's not such a bad problem to have.

Speaking of which, the Greatest Gainer Award goes to esquire for climbing 12 ranks to #13. He completely demolished Jims02 in this category, who only climbed a pitiable 8 ranks.

Hey, I rarely score well at this game, so I'm going to take the shout-outs when I can get them.

As you can see, esquire is now in 13th place and Jims02 is at #26.

What? Stop talking about these two?

Fine.

Yogi has retaken the lead with a comped Tammy/Victor wager. beau_30 had crept into the Top 10 again with an aggressive wager too. With so many points on the line, it's still up for grabs. All it needs is one bad week for a popular wager...

Reminder. Comps still going on.

Week 7 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.5x
3rd place - 1.4x
4th place - .6x
5th place - .5x
6th place - 0x

This would normally be a pretty boring payout table, but with the comps, it takes very little for 2nd place to slide below 3rd place payout.

Bonus Game - Lucky 7!

No more Pat! Get outta here! *shoos Pat away*

In this bonus game, the object is to add to 7. That is, players wager on a pair of teams whose final ranks will add to equal 7. That means, you're looking to pick either the pair that finishes 1st/6th, 2nd/5th, or 3rd/4th.

It doesn't matter what your expectations were. If you were going for 1st/6th and they finish 2nd/5th, you still win. Basically, if they add to 7, you win points. If they don't, you lose you wager. Simple as that. Just like in craps.

Remember, your bonus wager is on a pair of teams, so don't forget to put both down. It doesn't matter if you made a regular wager on them all ready. These picks are completely separate from those.

Adds to 7 - 5x

Max Bet - 25 points

Oh, and you can only wager on one pair of teams. Multiple bonus picks would get too complex, even for me.

Good luck, everyone!
