Hi, how's it going? I'm fine, thanks - at least, I will be once I get the boils lanced.

As the title of this thread suggests, this immunity challenge will be based loosely on The Amazing Race. Your destinations will be Australia, England and Italy. The Kelly Guarinis will start from Washington, D.C. and the Ruben Aikens will start from Los Angeles.

Since the K.G's have an extra player,and because she will be away for the next few days, Luv will sit out for this challenge. Each of the rest of you will be teamed with a player from the opposite team in a race to visit the countries mentioned above and perform assigned tasks. Once you have completed your assigned tasks, a team mate will take over and do the same. This process will continue until one team completes all tasks and arrives back at their original destination. The first team to do so gains immunity.
There are only a few rules:
1. The travel and tasks must be done in order. In other words, the first player must complete and post their answers/responses ( in the order given) before the next player can post theirs. In this way it is like a relay race.
2. There are no substitutions. One player cannot perform the tasks assigned to someone else, even if asked to do so.
3. You cannot post answers for your teammates and I would ask spectators not to post answers either. Comments, of course, are always welcome. Feel free, of course to help teammates by e-mailing answers to each other.

Got it? Good.

The first pair is Zachsmom versus Reader:
1. Post a picture of your "home" airport (Washington/Los Angeles)
2. Post a picture of the Sydney, Australia airport.
3. Name five species of shark. If your opponent posts before you do, post five other species of shark.
4. Post a picture of the Sydney Opera House

The second pair is Mak versus Lance

1. What is the name of Steve Irwin's (the Crocodile Hunter's) wife? If your opponent posts first, what is the name of his dog?
2. What is Crocodile Dundee's real name? If your opponent posts first, what is the name of his wife?
3. What is a billabong? If your opponent posts first, who wrote "Tie Me Kangaroo Down"?

The third pair is Twiggy versus Square:

1. Post a picture of the Sydney, Australia airport.
2. Post a picture of the London, England airport.
3. Name four English kings. If your opponent posts first, name four English queens.


The fourth pair is Tish versus Pamy:

1. Name four Shakespearean plays. If your opponent posts first, name four different ones.
2. Post a picture of the Tower of London.
3. Post a picture of the London, England airport.


The fifth pair is Rabbit versus Bobbi:

1. Post a picture of the Rome, Italy airport.
2. Post a picture of Benito Mussolini.
3. Name the last four popes. If your opponent posts first, names the four previous popes.

The sixth pair is Lori versus Bonny:
1. What city/town was Sophia Loren born in? If your opponent posts first, what is her husband's name?
2. Post a picture of the Rome, Italy airport.
3. Post a picture of your home airport.

The bottom line is each task must be done in order and it must be done by the assigned player.
Ladies and Germs, get to your airports.

No need, Reader. I didn't ask anything I didn't have the answer to. Congratulations! Fantastic work! I'd get hold of Lance if I was you and let him know he's up.

Of course you know my dh and ds have left me. and my cubbies will soon be doing there thang!! I was distracted by this amazing marathon, and turned to look at fox network, and got so excited - it said cubbies in the 4th were AHEAD... only to realize it was *sniff replay...

(gal, where am I to find Lance? How can he desert us at a time like this???)

PS Adven, I had to drag Rabbit back tothe Kelly thread, are there any rules I violated??

Adven

Friday, October 10, 2003 - 05:15 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Nope, no rules violated. Entering the opponent's thread and baiting them is not only allowed, it is encouraged. As is kicking their little heinies out, of course.
