LAST EDITED ON 04-21-10 AT 10:14 PM (EST)Death By U-TurnWell, if there's been anything we've learned about this show this season, it's that a U-Turn can really kill you. Carol & Brandy definitely learned that this week after being targeted by Brent & Caite. It's a shame they had to come off as being such villains on the show, but that's the nature of reality TV, I guess. Week 9 Results
1st place - Dan/Jordan (2x)
2nd place - Brent/Caite (1.7x)
3rd place - Jet/Cord (even)
4th place - Louie/Michael (.3x)
5th place - Carol/Brandy (0x) Double YikesThe market made a nice recovery this week, as most people enjoyed a nice bump in scores. A bunch of people used their (+1)s successfully on Dan/Jordan and a lot of people got the bonus question correct. The Greatest Gainer Award goes to flipxcyd, who jumped 9 spots all the way into the Top 5. Way to go! The Perfect Bet Award also goes to flipxcyd with a 4.3x total payout this week. Those (+1)s really did ya some good!  Leaderboard

30. (+3) VisionQuest - 2 Yogi catapults into the lead overall. The scores are still top heavy, but it should still be interesting to see what happens with all the (+1)s floating around. Remember, you can't use the (+1)s in the finale week, so make sure you spend them before then. I think the finale is two episodes away, but I'm not completely positive. Week 10 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.5x
3rd place - .5x
4th place - 0x Max Individual Bet - 100 points (+1) Question (Yes/No)
The previews have identified the Final 4 teams as "cops", "cowboys", "brothers", and "models". Are all 4 of these words going to be used in the next episode at some point? Yes or No? Variations on the words count too, like "model" or "modeling". And remember, the question is whether they're all going to be said. So if only 3 of the keywords are said, but the other one isn't, the answer is still "No". Bonus Game - A True/False QuizThis week, players get the exciting opportunity to take a True/False quiz! Boy, I bet that gets you excited. Place a bet, and you may answer any or all of the following True/False questions. Brent/Caite, still talking about Carol & Brandy, use either of the words "lesbian" or "lesbians" in this upcoming leg.
Dan/Jordan will get the "last word" before a commercial break at least twice in the next episode.
Jet/Cord, just like several other weeks, refer to the word "gravy" sometime during the episode.
Louie/Michael use the word "Roadblock" at least 4 times. (For labeling purposes, I've named each question by the team involved.) (The Dan/Jordan question refers to commercial breaks and how one team usually says something before they cut to a suspenseful commercial break. I'm looking for Dan/Jordan having the last comment before a commercial break at least twice. This is based on which contestant gets the last word in.) So, here's how it works. You make one wager, up to 15 points. Once you make the wager, you may answer as many or as few of the questions as you want. The more questions you get right, the higher the payout is. However, if you get even 1 of the questions wrong, you lose the whole wager. So don't answer a question unless you feel reasonably good about it. If you don't know the answers to, say, the Brent/Caite and Jet/Cord questions, then just answer the other two and go for the lower payouts. Or you can gamble and go for more questions. A sample bonus entry may look like: Bonus - 15 points Jet/Cord - True
Dan/Jordan - False
Brent/Caite - False The payout table is as follows... True/False Payout Table
4 out of 4 correct - 16x
3 out of 3 correct - 8x
2 out of 2 correct - 4x
1 out of 1 correct - 2x
At least 1 wrong answer - 0xMax Bet - 15 points Just as one more reminder... To play, you don't have answer all four questions. If you choose to do so, you'll have to get all 4 correct. You can choose to answer fewer questions, in hoping to hit the 8x, 4x, or 2x payouts instead. The only way to win this bet is to have perfect answers. TAR16 Teams Remaining
