Join Me

Tomorrow night's another episode of the Amazing Race and my first night of the fantasy league. I had no idea this even existed, but it's exactly what it sounds like. You pick two teams and you gain and lose points based on how they do and what happens during the show. It looks like it might be fun and it's pretty low maintenance (it has to be easier than the WWE fantasy league. Three hours of arguments to end up keeping Kane).

So you gain points by being the first to complete a detour or roadblock, being in the first three to check in, speaking the local language and hugging. Yup, you'll be hoping for an over friendly tour guide to show up.

Lose points by being eliminated, swearing, crying or falling. Just like in real life.

It literally takes 45 seconds to join and setting your teams takes another 15 seconds. One hint, if the team pic you want is too big and hides their check box, check the team before them, hit space bar to uncheck them, then tab over to where their unseen box is and use space bar again to check the box.

Lastly, my group is, oddly enough, called Jon's Group. We're ranked 1577 (with nobody at 1578). If the bonus of bonding together isn't enough, the player with the most points at the end of the season wins $1000. I'll see you at the finish line!

Healthy debate is good. Irrational hatred is bad.
