Tell me if I am wrong....
The ClubHouse: The Mole: Tell me if I am wrong....
Kiari | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:34 pm  On last nights show during the puzzle/trap mission.... OK so at the beginning Anderson said there was the possibility of winning $120,000.00 right, well the first group won $75,000 by answering 5 questions right. Had they answered all 8 correct they would have won $120,000. When Jim caught up to the second group couldn't he tell them which questions they got right and if they succesfully answered the 3 questions that the first group could not get wouldn't they get the $30,000.00 which would add up to $120,000.00? OK Now forget what Jim said....as he could very well be the mole and the producers would just have to go along with his sabatoge, just go by what you remember Anderson saying.... I thought for every answer group one got right, if group two got that answer right also they would lose the money for that question...he didn't say anything about the questions that they didn't answer. Does this make sense to anyone but me? |
Debi4514 | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:43 pm  yes, now that I think about it, I believe you are right. If anyone taped it, that would help to look at it again. I have noticed that they are vague about a lot of rules such as the misunderstanding with Kate shooting at Steve. |
Norwican | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:49 pm  I think you're right too Kiari... I don't recall him saying anything about the questions that the first group did not get. |
Leap | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:51 pm  I don't recall them saying anything about those questions. I am not sure if anything would happen if group 2 correctly answered a question that wasn't answered correctly by group 1. Hmmmm |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 01:41 pm  I was totally confused and added things up this morning and couldn't make sense of it. Someone will watch it again and post to clear this up.....I hope. Please? |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 02:49 pm  Wow Kiari, I think you may have something there. It would make sense for them to pass on the ones that the other group got right and try to answer the ones they got wrong or didn't get to...HMMMM. I guess we will never know. |
Wink | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 03:11 pm  I didn't get the impression that "which" questions were answered mattered. Group 1 answered 5 questions @$15,000 each for $75,000. For any question Group 2 answered correctly $15000 would be deducted. Group 2 answered 2 @$15000 for a total of $30,000 before Jim got them to stop. The $30000 was deducted from the $75000 for a final group total of $45000. But you are right Kiari they are very vague about a lot of instructions and seem to leave a lot of things up in the air without full explanations. |
Kiari | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 03:16 pm  Actually they deducted 30,000.00 from the $75,000.00 but for some reason Anderson alloted team 1 an extra $15,000.00 for "starteing a little late"????????????? So they ended up only losing $15,000.00??? And it was JIM who said that they couldn't answer ANY of the questions. |

Resortgirl | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 03:36 pm  Wink, I guess maybe you are right! They didn't specify or did they.... darn I HAVE to learn how to use that VCR...LOL |
Wink | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 03:47 pm  Oh of course Kiari I forgot about that extra $15,000 and who knows about the starting late. One more thing they don't explain. I think when Jim said that, he meant they shouldn't answer any more because the money would be deducted but they weren't sure whether to believe him or if it was a sabotage. I don't think he made a very believable attempt at making himself understood. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, February 01, 2001 - 04:40 am  Thanks...I couldn't figure the 60,000. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize they gave them an extra 15,000. Wink....I agree about Jim. He didn't seem frantic or desperate enough that they understood him. That may just be his way, however. He has been low key the entire show. He seemed himself. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, February 01, 2001 - 02:24 pm  I think why they gave them the extra $15K is because ideally they were supposed to start the runner on their way at the same time that the second team started the puzzles. The second team was well into the first puzzle when Jim took off, so they gave them the extra money as compensation. |
Rollerboy | Saturday, February 03, 2001 - 12:02 pm  I did tape the program and Wink is correct. It didn't matter which questions were answered. Group B's correct answers counted against group A's total. Also, Wilsonatmd is correct re the extra $. As to Jim, he explained things just fine. How hard is it to understand: STOP, every puzzle you solve costs the group 15K. You forget that Group B was self-identified as the "slow" group. Their inability to comprehend his explanation is completely understandable. |
Scribe | Saturday, February 03, 2001 - 12:29 pm  I will NOT miss taping the next episode!!! This is just why I want that tape ..... Thanks all of you for going over this part... I too was totally confused. |
