Double TROUBLE

Here's one player who thinks he's head and shoulders above the rest (of you). 3rd Place winner John..is posing a DOUBLE Threat..perhaps 2 heads will prove to be better than one?

Last season he had someone working for him..this season he's on his own..will he get AHEAD? Can he DUPLICATE his win?

TAR11 E2

WOW..was it just me or did anyone else lose it when Mirna climbed on Shmirna to tighten the nuts??? and then when Shmirna fell off the wrench..that was priceless! If you missed this episode you've got to tune in to catch it.

So see-ya Kevin & Drew! Six of you had them..so you know what to do..buy a replacement (Brenda H, Deb C, MAG, Miriam, Tracy, Vanessa).

So you're curious about the results? Well I've put a link on the website (on each Show's Page) in the left margin at the top, it reads, "CLICK HERE for Results'..when you click on it a page will open to an online host for file storage..a page opens and you see a small spreadsheet image..BELOW it will load a box and all you have to do is click on DOWNLOAD and you will get a copy of the spreadsheet...or click the link below..and do the same. http://www.4shared.com/file/11291224/f59c5fb5/TAR_11_Score_Sheet.html

A Prose bout the Shows

T'ar you ready for the Amazing Race to begin,
did you pick the best team, do you think they will win?
Rob & Amber are favorites though liked they are not,
but they could be the ones to clinch the Top Spot?

And what of the Teens who sing soulful each week?
Do they get booted if they are too mousy and meek?
Your teens need to reach 12 if you hope to win,
so align with the best when the 12 start to sing!

And what of the Castaways 3 episodes in?
Is their destiny decided by the tribe that they're in?
For those who picked stones that allow a free swap
have you used it yet? and if you didn't, why not?

Whether you're in just one pool or all 3 in fact
will the money you put in be coming back?
How serious are you in the pools you are in?
Is it just for the FUN or do you want to WIN??

SING the BLUES

The RESULTS..at long last!! I decided to incorporate the results from online Polls into the singer's weekly scores.
Included are AOL's Online Voter's Results (ranked 1 to 6 and scoring 6 pts for 1st and 1 pt for 6th place), and the Top 10 listed on vote4idol.com (10 pts for 1st and 1 pt for 10th). Combined with their performance and whether or not they advance (5 pts if they do)..you get a score (total for each of your 4 teens). If you're lucky you won't lose a teen and have to buy another..and then you arrive at a total.
The * means I still need a replacement for your lost teen.

Wk3 S14 Results

Say so long to Sylvia..she was the architect of her own demise..she should have DUG up the idol and saved her ass! Oh well, it's time to replace her if she was one of yours (Heather, Kathi, Molly, Batohi, Sandy B, Susan).

Still in the lead and pulling away is Sharon with 190 points! 16 Castaways remain..perhaps it's time to throw in a TWIST.

This week think about your PREDICTION for the ULTIMATE SURVIVOR..who will take home the million??

American Idol results are being calculated...check back soon!!

TARed & Feathered

And then there were 10. The first episode already cut an ALL-STAR Team from the competition and no one saw this happening. John & Jill were favorites among a few to give Rob & Amber a run for the money..everyone else is Star-Struck?

At least their parting gift as the 1st Team OUT gave their players 20 Points..since it'll cost them 5 to replace them.

So if they were your team...select another..(Al, Angie, Ann, Brian, Gill, Joe, Karen, Miriam, Susan, Terri)

TAR10 WINNERS

And the WINNERS are...
1st Place ($150) Mary-Anne
2nd Place ($100) Deb G
3rd Place ($75) John G/Ann A
4th Place ($50) Al

AI6 TOP 24

Meet the TOP 24 AI6 TEENS (I know..they're not all teens..they keep uping the age...soon it'll be Senior Idol).

So this week you'll find out who your TEENS are..remember the number you rolled will correspond to the order they sing (1-6 from first 6 to sing..and so on..)

They all seem pretty good so far?

S14: Fiji Wk 2

Another week over and another loss for RAVU. It's farewell to Erica..and if you had her then it's BUY another castaway for you! (Al, DDM, Deb D, Kim G, Marilyn, Mary-Anne, Tracy)..which means..girlfriend just cost you 5 points!

But it was a great week for some others..Sharon is still leading the pack..you go girl!!

Next up...TAR11 ALL STARS on Sunday night..are you in?

Party tomorrow at North..be there or be..well, you know....

Party place is NORTH (old Jade Garden) a block East of SJHC on Cheapside. Everyone is welcome!!

Disclaimer: Party will take place on this date or there will be no party! Attendance is mandatory or Chris keeps the CASH! hehehe

OBIE, Oh wise one

Pools stressing you out? Look what I found...give ol' Bob a squeeze... !

It's Bug-Out Bob (aka Obie, Martian Popper, Popping Martian)! Created in the 1950's, when you squeeze this stress toy his eyes, ears and nose pop out.
Obie knows all too!
Got a question..ask Obie!

Definitely approved as a method for expressing your mood when you desperately want to choke the @!&*! out of someone. Infinitely reusable. Which is a must for most of us!!! Some of us more than others!

Survivor Kick-off

Say goodbye to Jessica (#11)..she just wasn't in style? So if Jessica was one of your castaways..you must now buy another castaway to replace her.

In the lead but only by 1 point is Sharon Easton with 70 points..great start girl!

S14: Fiji TONIGHT

Welcome to our FIRST Survivor Pool (using the new format)! With more than 30 players in the POOL this should be fun..for me to score that is!!
So grab your Survivor Cast Away chart and your copy of the Point System and see how well your players do.

Good Luck!
