WW Amazing Race - Game Over (Moles Win & Team Reebok Wins)

[EagleFan]

Thouh it seems comical Chief Rum and hoopsguy flirt their way through learning how to sheer the sheep and have a very well thought out plan for accomplishing the task at hand. It seems they have even won over the sheep with their flirting and they finish their task having gained a little time on the leaders.

[EagleFan]

JAG and mckerney are seen jumping onto the mat...

They have finished this leg in first.

[Autumn]

I knew they'd do that.

[Autumn]

The girls I mean, not Jag and Mckerney, though figures they'd jump around too.

[EagleFan]

Lathum and The Jackal are seen attempting their detour. They have lose ground by taking the plane but were prepared enough to get through it. Amzing how well they are stil working together even though they still seem upset with each other.

They choose Catch it and work quite well as Lathum uses his skills around the water while Jackal does the heavy lifting. They have one of the best times for any team in the Detour and are on their way.

Soon after we see Chief Rum and hoopsguy on the mat...

They are the 2nd team to arrive.

Then we see Lathum and The Jackal as the 3rd team to arrive. No other team has reached the Detour yet.

[JAG]

Woohoo

[Autumn]

You guys didn't see us coming in first because we're like ninjas.

[EagleFan]

PackerFanatic and cougarfreak are the next team to arrive at the detour. They choose to Sheer it. They have also been prepared and doa fine job sheering the sheep. If not for one sheep that managed to escape from them for a couple minutes they may have had the best time.

While they are performing their task Autumn and ntndeacon arrive at Catch It. They push through the task quickly and are on their way to the pitstop.

PackerFanatic and cougarfreak reach the pitstop first and are in 4th place.

Autumn and ntndeacon follow and are now in 5th place but still in the race.

[Autumn]

5th place is average, and Reebok doesn't believe in average. We've got to do better or we're going to lose our sponsor.

[EagleFan]

MartinD and saldana are the next to the detour. They choose to Catch It. While they are at the detour GoldenEagle and CrimsonFox arrive at Catch It as well.

GoldenEagle and CrimsonFox make up a lot of ground on the detour but MartinD and saldana finish about 10 minutes ahead of them which is not bad because they arrived about 35 minutes ahead of them.

MartinD and saldana hold that 10 minute lead and reach the pitstop in 6th place.

GoldenEagle and CrimsonFox step on the mat in 7th place.

[JAG]

Not looking good for the old folks.

[EagleFan]

Darth Vilus and bhlloy are the next team to arrive at the detour. They choose to catch it but have some trouble getting the required limit. It seems that they are jus having bad luck.

mauboy1 and Danny choose to Sheer It and manage to make up a little ground, though Danny did get bit by one of the sheep. He will be okay bu he now has a battlescar.

Zinto and Passacaglia are the last team to arrive at the Detour. They choose to Catch it and manage a respectable time in getting to the requierd amount.

[EagleFan]

Darth Vilus and bhlloy are the 8th team to get to the mat.

Cue the tense music as we see the last two teams attempting to complete their tasks and making their way to the pitstop.

[EagleFan]

Finally we see one team entering the view. It is mauboy1 and Danny. They are the 9th team to arrive...

Impressive.

[The Jackal]

3rd place, could've been worse. I certainly thought about the boat option but alas.

[EagleFan]

The sad music plays as the elderly friends make their way to the mat. We hear them talking about how proud they are of each other and how they will remember this for the rest of their lives.

Zinto and Passacaglia, you are the last team to arrive.

I am sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the Race.

[EagleFan]

Zinto and Passacaglia are still involved in the Werewolf portion of the game and may continue to participate.

[Autumn]

Time to go back to the old folks' home, sorry guys.

[The Jackal]

[Autumn]

I think Jackal is admitting he is a mole.

I didn't have time to find an animated one, was a kneejerk decision.

Guess you'll have to wait and see!

[mauchow]

Eh, we're way behind. LOL.

[EagleFan]

With a pretty much unanimous vote you feel the The Jackal is one of those "moles". You interogate him fiercely and make him break down.

Finally he confesses...

"I can't take this anymore..."

"I'm a vanilla villager, I keep telling you that."

"Lies!!!"

"Fine, I don't care anymore."

(evil laugh from somewhere)

You finally check him out and find that he is exactly who he said he was, a vanilla villager.

[The Jackal]

(for autumn)

[EagleFan]

Now you wait, processing the night actions. Will be a couple minutes.

[Autumn]

Oh man. Sorry Jackal. At least you get to hang around and make us feel bad about it.

[The Jackal]

Believe me I've been relishing the thought

We'll start the ass kissing with you (points at Lathum)

[JAG]

Bah.

[Zinto]

Not only did the greatest team of old people lose the race we didn't get a mole. Sad sad day.

[Lathum]

WTF

Good luck with that ;-)

[EagleFan]

As you wait for the next leg to begin you notice that something is different.

CrimsonFox is wearing a T-shirt for a rival reality show. The producers start to yell at him and threaten to remove him from the show but he points at the contract and storms away.

CrimsonFox was a vanilla villager.

He is still in the game as long as his team remains but he has lost his remaining effort points and his bonus points.

[Autumn]

Hmm. That's interesting.

[EagleFan]

Will be posting the information about the next leg shortly (final "housekeeping" for theresults today).

The next deadlines will be Monday night.

[Lathum]

ok, today has been a very odd day

[Autumn]

I'm going to start by ignoring the idea that Lathum was faking his BG reveal. If that's the case, the BG knows it. They can eventually reveal, when it makes sense, and we'll have Lathum. It's a possibility, butnot one I think it serves us to spend time on right now.

Assuming that Lathum really is the bodyguard, then on day one he either just happened to be targeted and defended himself, or the wolves forgot a kill order.

On Day two, neither the seer nor the bodyguard were killed, despite Lathum claiming to have self guarded on night one. Either they did not trust his info (which is understandable, but not likely to be faked since he outed himself over it), or they wanted to make him look suspect. Killing anyone else than those two, along with Jackal being a villager, paints Lathum poorly and they would know that.

[Autumn]

Further, if the wolves hit Lathum on Night one, obviously they know that, and would know it was safe to hit him night two. (I didn't reread the bodyguard rules, but I'm assuming he has to alternate). So it seems even more likely that they avoided him in purpose tonight.

[Autumn]

It's still a strange choice I think not to hit Lathum. They can hope that we will lynch him and save them the trouble, but if not they now have to go back to guessing who he's guarding.

[Autumn]

And now everyone goes silent. Um, you guys can talk now.

[EagleFan]

When you are allowed to begin you will start at the Falkland Islands and have to travel to the Chinese version of Las Vegas... Macau. From there...

You have a clue to the Roadblock.
Who has a stomach for it? Requires Eating


You have a clue to the Detour.

Score it: Score a goal on the 13 year old Rink Hockey phenom. Requires physical.
- You must have quick hands and balance.
- Score a goal on a breakaway against a phenom 13 year old goallie to continue.
- Each player on the team must score one goal.
- Could be over quickly if you can each score on yoru first attempt.
- If multiple teams are there alternate attempts will be taken.

Jump for it: Bungee jump from the top of Macau Tower. While Jumping you must find the answer to the clue you will be given right before jumping. Requires Mental.
- Travel to the top of Macau Tower and take the world' second highest bungee jump.
- The catch is each player must jump at least once and you must look for the answer to the clue while falling.
- It will point you to the pitstop.
- Could be easy but you need to keep your wits while fallling from about 800 feet up.

Pit Stop - Venetian Macau (outside along the "pond")

[JAG]

I can't comprehend why Lathum would not have been killed tonight. I can see the wolves avoiding the seer (assuming mau is telilng the truth of course) thinking Lathum would guard him since he self-protected N1, but then why would they not kill Lathum tonight when he's vulnerable?

[EagleFan]

Next deadlines...

Monday 9 PM EST - Race deadline

Monday 10 PM EST - Werewolf deadline

[JAG]

And why kill CrimsonFox for that matter?
