We're actually going to win! Who would have thought that we'd come back from elimination and then win it all? Amy: Um, anyone with eyes, perhaps? Seriously, we've been kicking arse, I'd be surprised if we didn't win.

Posts: 1660 (05/02/08 11:00 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Francis & Mary-Beth/ Escaped Nuns (Thingamajig) (Bye, sorry you couldn't continue) FINAL ROADBLOCK: FINAL ROADBLOCK: Who wants to re-live your experience on the race? A roadblock is a task that only one member may perform. Each team member cannot perform more than a maximum of 7 roadblocks in this race. This means that the person who DID NOT do the previous roadblock MUST do this roadblock. Teams must post (Name) will do the roadblock! In the second part of a special 2-part Final Roadblock, that person will face a field of objects they encountered along the racecourse. Each team has been given 25 recognizable items from different legs of the race. With stress and exhaustion at an all-time high, they must place on the stage 14 specific items that match 2 different requirements: First, there may be only 1 item from each of the 12 prior legs of the race, EXCEPT on split-legs. For split-legs, teams must place one item from EACH HALF of the leg. Second, of the 14 items, One must be a Yield. One must be a U-Turn. One must be a Road Obstacle. Of the Yield, Road Obstacle, and U-Turn, one must have been used by a team to stop another team on a specific leg. One must be an object either at or brought to a Pit Stop. One must be an object encountered at a detour. One must be an object encountered at a Fast Forward. Four must be objects found in a Roadblock, two of which were either stones or rocks. Two must be objects encountered at a Route Marker. One must be an object encountered at a Stand-Off. One must be an object encountered ONLY at an Opt-Task. And one must be an object encountered at a Speed Bump. If it sounds easy, think again. The trick is there are several ways to fulfill either of these requirements, but there is only one correct group of 14 items that fulfill both. Once they have put the 14 correct items onto their stage in the correct order, the clue box will open and they'll get their next clue. List of Items: Yield U-Turn Road Obstacle A Demographic Chart A bottle containing a special mix of various herbs and spices Puzzle piece with "The" inscribed on it Station Stone Test tube containing Copper (II) Oxide A music score of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony First-Aid Box A list of Bollywood Movie Titles Vatican Euro Card with the number "7" A Standard Chartered Cheque A Fake Clue A map of the provinces in Afghanistan EZ-Link Card A list with names printed on it, including the name "Nginamau Lukiesamo" Rock Inscribed with "Labour Day" Stone inscribed with the letters "almetrop" Fuwa Doll Ribbon Cryptex Hanafuda Card Stock Ticket PM your answer in the format specified: Leg 1- (Item) Leg 2 China- (Item) Leg 2 Australia- (Item) etc. SUDDEN DEATH ROUND Instructions: You have until 11.00am to consolidate your answers and PM one FINAL answer by 11.00am. The team with the most number of correct answers will be able to receive their next clue. The team with the least will suffer a 10 minute penalty, and after the penalty is over, has to keep submitting answers until they get an equivalent or more correct answers than the team with the most answers. Only then will the team be able to continue with this leg.

Posts: 1247 (05/02/08 11:09 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Dick: Amber, well it looks like the Donatos DIDN'T win it all this time. Amber: You shouldn't have won it before. Dick: Bite me. I have to say I'm disappointed. Amber: Me too. Of course it makes sense that on a race full of torture tasks, we'd get stuck on the last RB. Dick: True. Too bad the producers didn't figure in on sudden death that a team would just get a time penalty, instead of re-evaluating the same set of answers hundreds of times. Amber: I need some meth. But you're right... it makes the finish fairly anticlimatic. Dick: DAMN! You learned some new words. Amber: Jones taught me. He is "SuperJones" in more ways than one. Funkey: Holy, shit. Too much time writing my goodbye and didn't realize I finally moved on! receive and read clue
