OK, I need help. For some reason, the names don't show up in the boxes at the bottom for my "team". Can someone tell me if they are the same order as the names in the questions above it? It's in alphabetic order for the ?'s. This happens with every game, but I have to ask anyway just to be sure. Dam WebTV!!

Well, I've made my picks in the PutterGame, the SpongeGame, MW and LoserBiiingo, joined the team dedicated to Hermi and Clay and found my favorite non-TVCH team "Swing, You fat bast*rd, Swing".. which only has meaning if you saw and loved the baldies on TAR1.

For all who are new to TAR.. WOO HOOOO!! A great game. You'll, laugh, you'll cry, you'll groan, you'll shout, you'll love, you'll hate.. and at some point, you'll suck :)

LOL SeaMonkey!!

Hippyt, thank you so much for that. It's the same at listed in the ?'s, so I was OK. Usually, I have to wait until after the game and check the scores. I'M READY NOW!! LET'S PLAY TAR!!!
ONE HOUR AND 42 MINUTES!!! HOOO HOOOO!!!!

The key word with Realiiity site is be patient.. because they often drag on forever before they update and they can get very cranky if you protest (first season I played there, I mysteriously lost a week's worth of answers/points after making some fairly innoucuous comment).. so.. the deal is to check now and then and if you are the first to find them open or updated, report back here. And if they open soon enough it is often good to make your picks early and then you can go back in later if you need to tweak things. The only thing you don't want to tweak too often is your set of teams.. because you do lose points when you do that. Also be sure to read the welcome message so you'll not miss things like when to change the number on your team choices, because if you don't, they will for you :)

The site can be arrogant, childish, arbitrary and all but the games ARE fun and they can be witty and they do their research. Important not to be TOO into being "right" and just flow with them.

The TAR4 MW game page now has a message:

Mediiia •••••: Amazing Race 4 is closed for updates. Check back later.

Does that mean they are posting our scores?

Could be soon I hope.

Are we answering the MW questions as a team or individually?

Alaginger

You answer the questions at the realiiity.com website individually. If you have signed up to be on our league (TVRacers), your score will be averaged in with the total 40 members we have for the league's final score for the week. They will also be keeping track of your individual score and ranking you in with all the other individual scores over there.

I just moved the questions over here so people could think about them before they go to MW because once you get over there and you are thinking, the pop-ups will drive you crazy. I made a donation towards the end of Survivor 6 and they have told me by email that they have Pop-ups Off in my account, but I still get several, even though it is not as bad as it was. Maybe some of them are because of my server, because I get that at other websites too......but never, never, never here at TVCH!!!

I was able to sign up for an account at mediiiawhore but it won't let me log in. Anyone have any suggestions? It does ask me if I'm trying to log-in with cookies but I don't know if I am or not and how to find that out. thx

Did you get a confirmation email back from MW after you signed up? Once you get the confirmation email and do the confirming of your email address, you should be able to log in. If you have already done that, I don't know...maybe somebody else has a suggestion.

Thx for the reply, yes I did get the confirmation email and I confirmed. when I had trouble logging in I tried to confirm again, thinking that maybe it didn't take the first time, the site "busted" me by saying, who do I think I am trying to confirm twice! Anyway, still can't log in.

Sorry Iscreamer, I can't help you with MW. I had trouble getting logged in once I received my email cofirmiratin but after waiting a few days, I tried again and it worked. Go figure!

And Alaginger, thanks for answering my about question about MW. Also, thanks for posting the MW questions here so we can avoid the awful pop-ups, although I must confess here and say that since I've upgraded my AOL to 8.0, pop ups at most sites are stopped now and AOL gives me a running count of how many pop-ups they have stopped for me. Last time I was at MW, the count was at 15...geez!

As for the team, we certainly can share ideas if we feel like it.

I must go and check my scores !! I'm sure my team stunk but.. gotta check..

It is a good idea to read their summary results each week so you can see what their bias is. Sometimes that helps you decide if you should have a team on your team or not.

Welcome Sweetlips..

Owl is much esteemed here at TVCH..

HOOO HOOOOO!! (but if you really want to see the Best of Owl, visit The Osbournes thread :)
