Survivor: TAR

Knowing that Survivor has already done a season in Panama, it almost made me thing that the Amazing Racers were going to walk in on a tribal council in session after that canoe ride. It was kind of weird how they had them go all they way out there and then turn around immediately with almost nothing inbetween.

Andy and Tommy were the surprise elimination this week, being foiled by Panamanian dresses (and an alliance of taxis). It just goes to show you that even just one task can make or break a season for a team.

Week 11 Results
1st place - Jeremy/Sandy (2x)
2nd place - Ernie/Cindy (1.8x)
3rd place - Amani/Marcus (.2x)
4th place - Andy/Tommy (0x)

Death to Bonuses!

Well, we're officially snakebit when it comes to bonuses. The correct answer to the Clock Game bonus was a paltry 54 minutes, far below the 2-hour typical guess for the bonus. We did, however, have a couple players get it right, so big kudos to them!

Unfortunately, the surprise Andy/Tommy boot led to 4 more Casino Game eliminations, michel, Snidget, cahaya, and Scuba Steve. Those stupid Panamanian dresses did you all in. Since the finale is next week, I suggest grabbing as many complimentary cocktails in the lounge as quickly as you can!

Thanks for playing, guys.

This week's Greatest Gainer Award goes to Ontheroadagain who climbed 8 ranks this week, narrowly beating LeftPinky who climbed 7. With the max bet sliding downward last week, it made big jumps difficult, but you managed to do it! Way to go!

This week's Perfect Bet Award also goes to taffnic (2x), who doubled-up nicely with a Jeremy/Sandy bet. Can't do much better than that!

We're really coming down to the wire now! Max Headroom and KwietOne managed to leapfrog ARNutz for the top two spots going into this final week... But the score is just ridiculously close right now. We're likely to see some huge wagers in Final Jeopardy this week, so we could see some huge shifts this week!

Finale Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - Break Even
3rd place - 0x

Max Individual Bet - NO LIMIT

No limit on regular bets in this final week, so you can bet as much or as little as you want on any of the teams. Also, players may feel free to private message me your finale picks if you so desire.

And, of course, this payout table will be based on the final rankings when the Racers cross the finish line.

Million Million Million

We skipped this game last year, mostly due to that weird 4-team finale last year, but it's back again!

In this game, players may wager on which team will say the word "million" first. As always, variations of the word will count, such as "millions", "millionaires", or "eorgtajsmillionlfnf". All we're looking for is M-I-L-L-I-O-N to be spoken by them.

The recaps don't count as part of the episode, and if none of the teams ever say it (it has happened once before), then no answer is correct and all bonus wagers score 0x.

Good luck! Don't forget to PM me your picks if you so desire! We should be in for an exciting finale!

Here's the deal, Max Headroom, you can beat me at the Casino Game, and in exchange my fantasy team will win our playoff match. Deal?
