Suicide Amazing Race: Resuscitation Station

[Beefcake]

Oy, complicated. Here’s what I’m reading for standings – we’re down to the top 12 (aka "Dirty Dozen" according to the sorer of losers).

Kudos to merrywidow, Flatfoote, and Sassafras for being green after all of these weeks. And to allezfred for hanging in for this long after immediately using up his resuscitation … before falling into life support this week.

I’ve filled in a few “next week” picks for those who've really got no options (i.e. most of us!). Anyone with actual decisions left to make, please have them in by Sunday, April 24. Sigh, if NEL is in store for the F4, it may be three weeks from yesterday before we’ll get our next result.

If I’ve biffed any of this, please advise.

As Beefcake already has down, I have to go with the Cowboys and it's my last pick.

[kedrin]

technically speaking, isn't the plug supposed to be pulled around April 24? just trying to hang on as long as possible.:P

[Lilia A]

I've got the cowboys and the Little Brothers left. I want both teams in the F3, but considering the situation I must pick the team that I trust the most.

I'm going with the Cowboys.

Nope! Start of the episode, little whiner. Do you think the house would let you in the game with no chips? Well, do ya? :P

So, get your affairs in order, little lambs. Five days until Nurse Living Saint pulls the plug. No, she doesn't work for me, and no she's not a registered nurse (at least in the above world) ... she just finds this sh*t fun.

[Lilia A]

Well there's no TAR this Sunday, April 18 (I know :wuzrobbed x10000000). So technically those in life support remain there until the 25th? The start of the next episode, innit?

Sigh, okay, you softie ... we'll keep them hanging on until the 25th. But then - HELLO Kervorkian! :saint:

[Flatfoote]

Sooooo, if I'm reading this new "no pick" strategy right, I could go "no pick" for the next show, get resuscitated, then play my final team (Cowboys) the following week? If they're still around that is.

[merrywidow]

I am counting on "my" cowboys to win so my next pick will be the:Little Brothers.

Yes, you can! Sly dog ... that should get you a :COP: 2nd-5th place finish.

:eek: that merrywidow has two picks left and hasn't burned a resuscitation. She and Lilia are so darned good at our TAR games, even when they don't particularly care for the format. :P Ladies, you'll be glad to know I'll be switching back to the "classic style" TAR game next edition ... and I predict that I'll be copying, er, [better to use Project Runway speak], I'll be "using your picks for inspiration."

[Flatfoote]

LOL. Just think, in a few short weeks I've gone from "sweet honest fool" to "sly dog." :cool:

I've been playing TAR predictions with a friend since the very beginning. We predict the placements, I lost last season thanks to Lance and Kerri who I had finishing in 4th (not that I'm complaining that they left sooner than in my predictions).
I got good with time, at first I wasn't good at all.

Hm, I predict that next season I'll be posting my picks at 7:59pm on the due date :P Just kidding ;)

[Beefcake]

Breathe everyone! at least for another week, then ... blip ^ blip ^ blip - - - - - - - (stateoftheline.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/ist2_3885599-pull-the-plug.jpg)

[Beefcake]

A moment of silence, please, for the just-departed Fridge Break, allezfred, BevJohnston, FiveRinger, and kedrin. :violin:

Looking ahead if Brent & Caite or the Dutectives go out this Sunday, we'll be down to our top 5 for the finale.

If the Little Brothers go out this Sunday, we'll have our winner ... Flatfoote!

If the Cowboys somehow go this Sunday, I "think" that merrywidow would win in the tiebreaker. But, oh Lordy I'd have some math to do! Nobody would have a pick for the finale ... :COP: ... a mess figuring out who would fall where. :lol:

:lol: Nobody saved Brent & Caite or the Dutectives for last.

Thank you for the funeral violin, Beefy. That was a nice touch to such a dreary moment in my life.
