Amazing Race Predictions Game: Lilia Wins! (/ Burns her 27 Dresses)

[Beefcake]

Disclaimer

This week's results brought to you Old Eyes, Inc., with a generous grant from the American Public School System. Yeh, there were a couple of minor difficulties within last week's results. For one, genevieve has slipped a spot from last place (24th) to last place (25th) ... upon the discovery that my counting of one of the "ties" was off by one, last week, and therefore we have 25 entrants vice 24.

For two, I missed recording two of FiveRinger's Pick 'Em points. This discovery combined with her strong score this week propelled FiveRinger into 1st frigging place! An aside: I'll miss a Pick 'Em point or three occasionally, due to this convoluted Excel spreadsheet and that old eyes and math thing, but it'll come back to roost the next week.

Along with FiveRinger, Fridge Break and minuet are really rocking the Pick 'Em category.

Meanwhile, Prancer and itofan are likely rueing the non-elimination of Kevin & Michael, as they'd have hit that dead-on in the Rank 'Em. Conversely, a few of you (I'm lookin' at you, KHenry and merrywidow!) are pretty darned glad for said NEL. (For at least a week )

Lots of movement, as is expected early-on:

My top 4 picks came in 6,7,8 & 9th. Only because of the non elimination have I been able to keep them all in the race. Somehow I'm not feeling very confident for this season.

[rfisher]

Woot! I'm on my way down the list.

I'm feeling a bit dizzy ... the world is askew ... not used to seeing you be our low scorer for the week.

[PrincessLeppard]

Tied for second, kittens. Eat it, haterz.

Well, this week at least.....

[genevieve]

Do I get a special prize for going from last to even further down last?

[FiveRinger]

OMG! Are there STFU smilies? Or a pat yourself on the back? This is the first time that I have ever been first, or remotely close!!! Wow--somebody's going to make me think that I actually made some decent picks this season. I'm excited.

But, I expect to slide down towards the basement. It's where I've been the most comfortable!

[rfisher]

I blame Vickie. If she'd stuffed Nick in that wheelbarrow or wrapped that wheel around his neck, they'd have been last where they were supposed to be.

But, unfortunately, they'd still be in the race since this was an NEL. Hopefully, their asses will be out next week. It'd make me and most people playing our game this season really happy.

Woot! I'm on my way down the list.

me too and if Nick and Vicki don't go next week I'm going down at warp speed!!!

[rfisher]

There's going to be a fight for last place. Gen has tried to get a lock by having that extra penalty, but I'm confident I can bump her up.

Well I think I can take both of you!!!

[genevieve]

Don't underestimate the advantage of incumbency

[minuet]

yay I'm moving up! I was really nervous last night with the Doctors cause I don't want to lose them for awhile but they pulled through

[rfisher]

Don't underestimate the advantage of incumbency

Yeah? I'm betting my incompetency can trump your incumbency.

[Beefcake]

Hmmm, did I mention? There's an Anna Trebunskaya look-alike BONUS, so go ahead with that Annawannabe makeoer you're mulling over, and your race-to-the-bottom ends pronto.

I havn't figured out how to get her body yet so I'm safe.

I wuzrobbed! When has TAR ever had such an early NEL leg?

[FiveRinger]

Can we get a do-over? I'm sure just about everybody would be extremely happy if Chad would just disappear? I kept hoping he would fly off of one of those sleds and land in outerspace.

[Fridge_Break]

I would have loved that, especially considering I had Chad & Stephanie going out at this stage in my Rank 'Em's!
