Pool Results - Congratulations to...
Woohoo, what a race! Two Detours! Two Roadblocks! Lead changes! A close finish! Plus a footrace to the finish in the Pool! Thanks to a Yield of jmarsh98, two excellent Roadblocker picks as well as getting two Boot List teams correct (Linz & Weaver), idolfan scored a whopping 539 points to outscore everyone else in the final leg! :shock: However, jmarsh98 could not be passed on the overall leaderboard! Despite idolfan's closing the gap in the last few weeks, jmarsh98 had built up a lead that was insurmountable by never having to change a team on his squad; he picked the final four teams from the very beginning! He was Yielded 4 times (including the last 3 legs straight) but never fell below 2nd on the overall leaderboard after the first week. Excellent job, jmarsh; you are the winner of the Amazing Race: Family Edition Pool! You have won The Amazing Race:The First Season on DVD, not to mention bragging rights. Woohoo! :grin: Wanna know how close it was between idolfan & jmarsh98? 24 points. :shock: Holy cannoli! Remember those 3 legs where you left Hunter Schroeder as your Roadblocker even though his family was Philiminated, idol? I'm just sayin... :wink: I hope everyone enjoyed the Pool, ‘cuz I certainly enjoyed running it. Thanks for playing, ‘cuz if no one signs up to play it gets really boring! And seriously, my inner dork very much wants to know what you liked or didn’t like about the Pool, so please share with me your deepest, most heartfelt opinions regarding the Pool. :grin: And now, the final leg scores and standings: Leg 11 Results (Squad leaders are listed first under your name) 1. idolfan 294– Linz 88 – Bransen 0 – Godlewski 67 – Weaver 20 – Nick Linz (RB – Finished 2nd Roadblock 1st) 20 – Rolly Weaver (RB – Finished 1st Roadblock 1st) 50 – “Boot” Detour – correctly predicted the Weaver’s to finish 3rd and Linz’s to finish 1st. 539 – Total 2.

I wasn't even in the Pool but I greatly enjoyed watching its progress. I especially liked the bonus categories the winner from the previous week got to create and the bonus points (+ and -) Tara got. :lol: This was the best Pool ever!!!! WTG, Bradley!!! Congratulations to jmarsh for winning and a special congrats to idolfan for a great last round that made the finish really close!!

idolfan- 12-14-2005

I am really happy about that finish. I like to be associated with the awesome Bransens who finished second as well. :wink: Awesome pool Brad! It was so much fun! Seriously, I wouldn't change a thing.

Okay, so the Winner's Choice is good--from an observer-only, even! Glad you enjoyed following along, pika. Idol, are you sure you wouldn't want the Yields to take more points away? :grin:
