LAST EDITED ON 02-27-13 AT 11:31 PM (EST) Just Switch!It's such a bummer seeing a team struggle so much at one Detour and them seemingly breeze through the other option. It's such a shame too, since Idries/Jamil really did face their fear and push through it, even if they were unsuccessful with it. I was really glad to see they didn't just take the penalty right off the bat, and actually gave it the old college try. Week 2 Results 1st place - Bates/Anthony (2x) 2nd place - David/Connor (1.5x) 3rd place - Jessica/John (1.3x) 4th place - Joey/Meghan (1.2x) 5th place - Chuck/Wynona (1.1x) 6th place - Mona/Beth (.9x) 7th place - Caroline/Jennifer (.8x) 8th place - Max/Katie (.7x) 9th place - Pam/Winnie (.5x) 10th place - Idries/Jamil (0x) Too easy.OK, so here's everything you need know about how Week 2 went. Not a single person lost points in this week's scoring. And 11 players made perfect bets on Bates/Anthony. Which was admittedly pretty easy to do considering the TAR previews showed them on the mat right in front of David/Connor. So, drinks all around! We also had 6 new entrants this week, bringing us up to a healthy 31 total. A big welcome to alemattos, michel, IanQuentin, bystander, MzTee, and chiubakka.
