Newfie_guy

Newfoundland, Canada

I think I will win the game because I 
can be very quick witted and sneaky when it is really needed, and also, I 
become very determined to solve anything and everything that is put 
before me.
If you are lost, how will you get home? First, I will get help from a 
town person to find somewhere that I can make some quick dollars, or 
maybe sell something which I have on me to get a few extra dollars, and 
then find the cheapest possible plane ticket that I can possibly find 
and but it, if I don't have enough money, I would again look for some odd 
jobs to make some quick money.

INTERVIEW WITH NEWFIE_GUY

How will you rate the Race?

  NewfieGuy   says:: PERFECT 10!

WHILE DOING IT, I WAS THINKING, THIS WAS MADE BY A VERY VERY SMART PERSON

How will you describe the race then?

  NewfieGuy   says: VERY CHALLENGING, WITH MANY TWISTS AND TURNS

Was there any particularly hard tasks or clues?

  NewfieGuy   says:: THE ONE WITH THE MICROSOFT COMBAT GAME! that detour

Have you watched the race before?

  NewfieGuy   says::YEAH, A FEW EPISODES........

And you never knew what a Fast Forward is?

  NewfieGuy   says:

I REMEMBERED SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT I FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU TOLD ME, AND THEN I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GIVING ME A DIRECT LINK TO IT.........

IF I HAD USED MY FAST FORWARD, OR SPENT LESS TIME ON THE DETOUR THAT I DIDN'T GET, I WOULD HAVE WON BY ALOT  

How will you describe the other Racers?

  NewfieGuy   says:: THEY WERE VERY COMPETETIVE, AND KEPT IT VERY CLOSE.........I ALMOST LOST THERE ONCE

Any regrets in this Race?

  NewfieGuy   says:

I REGRET NOT SKIPPING THE DETOUR EARLIER

BUT I DON'T REGRET NOT TAKING THE FF BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAVE SCREWED ME UP ANYWAYS.........

Any tips for future Racers-to-be?

  NewfieGuy   says:

DON'T GIVE UP..........

STAY ON A SITE IF YOU THINK IT'S THE RIGHT ONE, AND KEEP SEARCHING, DON'T GO TO A DIFFERENT SITE........

okay... any final comments then?

  NewfieGuy   says:

IT WAS ALOT OF FUN........!!!!
