Ok, if I were playing I would have come out of that last road block with a big advantage.

When it comes to games like that (where one person has to answers questions and then your partner has to match your answers) I have a standing rule (discussed with Lani and would be discussed with a TAR partner):

If it is multiple choice, always pick the first option.

So the code would have been 1111 and my partner wouldn't even have to think about it.

I developed this personal rule as a kid watching The Newlywed Game.

I was not unsatisfied with the outcome of the game.

But now I'm wondering, Alex - how would your strategy apply to The Newlywed Game? I remember the questions being fill-in-the-blank, not multiple choice...

I remember there being multiple choice and fill in the blank mixed in. But I had a whole suite of "rules" for cheating the game.

If a body part seems appropriate, say "arm"
If a woman's name seems appropriate, say "Sue"
If a man's name seems appropriate, say "Greg"
If it could be either a man or a woman, say "Sue"
If a room of the house is called for say...
If an article of clothing...

and so on. So maybe I just included the multiple choice rule for completeness. All in the services of winning a $400 washing machine.

You amaze and entertain me. Thank you for your explanation.

That sucked, but at least it wasn't Pinky and the Brain....

Alex, you are an evil genius.

It was not a great ending (although I spoiled it for myself) by actually reading the spoilers at the beginning of the season. I just felt like the winning team wasnt even couple from the previous shows. So it feels weird calling them all-stars... It was an exciting ending and heres to a new crop of racers..... ciao for now!

Hopefully, season 12 will be much more interesting.

Granted, the All-Star season was great in theory, and there were some memorable moments...but I think it could have been executed a lot better.

Heck, it would have made the season much better if Gretchen and Meredith could have made a cameo appearance at the the pit stop, where they could have said "Oh, Meredith, we got a bad pit stop!" ;)

I would have liked to se the BQs win. Nickolas said, "I don't care who wins, as long as it isn't the team with the midget."

Good to know those horrible bitches didn't win. I don't really care otherwise.
