TAR Family Edition Redux?

I don't know about any of you, but I was kind of underwhelmed by the tasks offered in this recent leg. Both of the Detour options didn't strike me as being particularly difficult, and the Roadblock was pretty low-impact as well. You could tell the producers were hoping for a blow up with the baker's dozen clue, but no one bit on it.

Jody & Shannon finished last and were eliminated. It's a bummer too, because they could've been a really fun team to watch.

All Present!

It was a pretty cool week for scoring in that we had every single player submit an entry. We also had a new player, IanQuentin. Welcome back!

Scores generally increased this week. It was kind of uneven in that Jet & Cord were, by far, the most popular pick. But, after that, it was slim pickings. A lot of Jordan/Jeff and Dan/Jordan wagers cost a few points to some.

The Greatest Gainer Award goes to, um, Jims02 for jumping 24 ranks to #17 overall. I'd congratulate him, but I'm pretty sure it was just dumb luck on his part.

The Perfect Bet Award goes to a few players, Starshine, ARNutz, and Jims02. Each of them doubled their points this week. Way to go!

Also, go post a love list in ARNutz's thread, and read Molaholic's Ep1 summary and Seana's Ep2 summary. Support our creative writers.
