OH KAY...I gotta speak my mind on this one. I'm with Fruitbat...Why are we being so careful in a SPOILER thread? Do the non-spoiling people have us (the spoiler friendly people) so intimidated that we can't even speak our minds or exchange information in a thread that was given to us for that specific purpose?? I think that any non-spoiler members who "accidently" find out anything in this thread get exactly what they deserve. It really does aggravate me a tad that we have come to this extreme on TVCH, that members have to be afraid to discuss topics in a thread that was created especially for that topic...

I agree Kep - I think we should talk openly about it! Therefore I'll say my 2 cents worth. I think that they are a team you wouldn't immediately think would win. Last season I kept saying I hope Freddie and Kendra don't win this thing but I just knew they were going to and I think the producers did all they could to make sure they did win. YUCK! Hopefully they don't turn into a Freddy and Kendra couple <el>.

All though I was routing for the Mom and son team this year but when I see thier profile and the hard times that have fell on them and what they want the money for - I am happy for them. I hope they use it for what they originally intended and don't lose sight when they become rich and famous!!!

The thing that irritates me is when people post spoiler information in the very first few words of their post. That way you can't help but see it when you use the board's new message feature (something that is used by many people). Avoiding this happening is as simple as not mentioning it in the first few words, but some people aren't aware of this or simply don't care. I think that Kep gave it away anyway without actually saying it, but I have no problem with that. This is a spoiler thread after all! (Plus, I'm not unhappy with the result). It would be a laugh if they are wrong though and it was just a false rumour. I have to say though with these shows, it can be more than a little frustrating as you practically can't go on the internet without inadvertently seeing the results somewhere.

If you feel the need to post the name of the team that is the winner, per this spoiler, THIS is the place to post it but please be kind to those who don't want to know, and there are many who don't and make sure that the spoiler info is down a line or two. The, discuss away.. here!

OOPS! I have to give credit where it is due and I was wrong where I said that Kep gave it away - it was Sassynegal who gave the clue! As I said it earlier, it doesn't bother me a bit though - this is a spoiler thread.

So.. someone has to say it!! spoiler for final team
quote:Sportsbook.com has announced that wagering on reality television series The Amazing Race has been halted due to irregular betting patterns on contestants Uchenna and Joyce. Over a 12-hour period last week, from the evening of Thursday, March 3 through the morning of Friday, March 4, a significant increase in betting on these contestants alerted Sportsbook.com odds makers of a possible leak into the show's outcome. All the bets under suspicion were placed from accounts in California and Massachusetts and were for the maximum allowable wagers.
We will see!!

I think most posters are not aware of the feature or how it works. I didn't know about the new message feature and how it worked until a couple of weeks ago. I don't use it. On another board, the moderator put "la la la" in front of my post. I was not spoiling, only expressing my wishes. When I asked about it, I was told it could be taken as spoiling. I was told that the first sentence should preface what you are about to say or be nonsense wording. Now that I know and understand, I am more careful and I think most posters would be also.

Sorry if I sounded harsh. I know that many people either aren't aware of this or sometimes forget. For those that aren't familiar with it, the new message feature is a great way of seeing new messages that have been posted on the board. You can specify a specific time (last few hours for example) or you can specify that it display all new messages since you last checked. You can also specify what areas of the board you want checked. The results show the message area, title and first few words. It's a great way to stay caught up and see all areas of the board. So .... I wonder if the above spoiler is right?

Jimmer, I didn't take your comments as harsh. I understood exactly what you were saying. I posted only because there may be others like me who didn't understand this new feature. Even when you are posting something in the first sentence in all innocence, it could be taken as spoiling.

Good question, Jimmer.. I really didn't want to know but since it was out there, of course I ended up looking.. Seems like in the past when there have been halts in betting it usually is true.. For example: Survivor winner Sandra and evidently there was a similar situation with last TAR winners.. I managed to miss that one..

There was also a halt in online betting (same site, I believe) with the last Apprentice. Final Two bets were on Kelly and Jennifer - and they indeed became the final two.

Hooty...right up there at the top of any page, (as long as you are logged in), on the right under the log in info. just click on "check all new messages"  the very first time you use it , it will take some time as it will check every new message (it checks all messages since the last time you clicked here..and you never clicked before) so, for the first check, you may want to click on "search" instead, found in the red area, middle of the top of the page; then choose a length of time to check for , on the search page.

Hooty, if you don't have "check all new messages" in the upper right corner, go to your "Profile". There is a section there where you can turn it on.

Alrighty. After removing a dozen or so posts from this thread, we're gonna try this again. This thread is not to discuss how or how not to spoil or not spoil other posters. It isn't designed to debate whether or not to use new messages or whether or not you should have to...or not have to...or anything else! This is a thread to talk about the major TAR spoiler that has surfaced and you can talk about it openly! We would ask that you simply put a couple of "lalalalalalala" words and a return or two at the beginning of your post if you need to say actual names in the first few words of your sentence. It is a guideline that we've had here for years and does not seem unreasonable. We are aware that not everyone knows about the new messages feature, so we try to educate as best we can. If anyone has concerns about our moderating decisions or our spoiling guidelines, you are free to email the moderator account. Otherwise, we ask that you allow us the opportunity to monitor within the threads. Thank you, TVCH Moderators <nd>
