Spy Games Season 1 contest

November 26, 2020January 15, 2021 ~ m ~ Leave a comment

Dan and I have the Covid Blues so we are scraping for any reality races on which we can bet. Any show where each episode has a winner and a loser. Here’s our next train wreck! Call your bookie, slap down those bets!

New improved rules, now with more action!

Pick the player you think will win, pick the two players you think will be chosen to defend themselves, and pick the player you think will be actually eliminated.
For winners, start with 10 points. If your winner is eliminated, you lose a point, and you have to pick another. If your winner wins, you score a point, and they remain your pick.
For losers, start with 0 points. Score a point for each defender you got right. If your loser is eliminated, you score a point, and get to pick another.
Contest winner is the one with the most points after the final episode!
Also, we are playing with DAN’S BASTARDIZATION OF THE PICK RULES: you can change any pick you want in between episodes. WHAT? LAME, Mike does not approve… but he’s very accommodating, so here we go…

	STILL BREATHING
Chelsey Mori Raffle	Brock Thompson Clone	Christina Randall Cheek
	FUCKING OUT
Saif Kareem Iran	Dr. Mitch Abrams Shots	Jessica Studd Emo
Charnel Wright Buff	Nika Nour Plank	Colin Hutzler In-And-Out

Amazing Race 32 contest

October 19, 2020November 26, 2020 ~ m ~ Leave a comment

Yes it’s still going strong! Dan pointed out that season 32 was coming up, and we are all in on another round of betting! How old is Phil now, anyway? He looks exactly the same.

Pick the team you think will win, and pick the team you think will be eliminated next.
For winners, start with 11 points. If your winning team is eliminated, you lose a point, and you have to pick another.
For losers, start with 0 points. If your losing team is eliminated, you score a point, and get to pick another.
Contest winner is the one with the most points after the final episode!

Winner gets a prize! TBD, ha. Also:
If Dan wins, Mike hauls his shit to the dumpster.
If Mike wins, he gets a TOP SHELF VO from Danno.

Amazing Race returns! As do the contestants – they are all previous losers. I think that’s a great idea – I am sure they have all discussed the details for hours, and have all kinds of strategies to try out. Looks intense so far!

Pick the team you think will win, and pick the team you think will be eliminated next.
If your winning team is eliminated, you have to pick another. Least picks wins!
If your losing team is eliminated, you score, and get to pick another. Most scores wins!

UPDATE: WE HAVE A WINNER!

Best choice of winners goes to… Larry, with only 2 team changes and 3 stage wins, barely beating out Jane, Wren, Reiley and Nick by one stage win, and tying me (but I’m disqualified since I’m the scorekeeper!).

Best choice of losers goes to… Larry by a landslide, with 5 correct eliminations!

I’m heading over to deliver Larry’s prizes now…. :>

Trying to get everyone hooked into an Amazing Race contest…
