:: SEASON FOUR ::

Politics was hugely emphsized in this season where alliance were made and broken almost at the same time.The clues were rather simple as compared to previous seasons and the race ended before expected. However, there were particularly some clues which made some of the contestants want to quit and got angry over it. We had clues to direct the racers to form groups of 3 to board a 'ship' but upon arrival onto their destination, they have only 2 taxis thus had to abandon one of their group member. Lots of tension going on. Then in the first clue of the final leg, each contestant was given either K, C or P. They have to ask other contestants for the other 2 letters to unlock the next clue. Lies and deceit arises, some got mad over this. In actual fact, our winner lied to the 2nd runner-up IceGod08 about the alphabet, saying it was W.

Also, AIM fouled up and the racers were confused. Once again we have a tight race, with the winner 9mins ahead of runner-up and also a 3rd place tie.

Fortunately the game went on smooth and here we have the racers (from 1st place to last)

1st Position = Danny (Team E.C. / Team East Coast)

Nick = Play642day

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because I have the smarts and the ability to create wonderful friendships, since this race is about trust and compromise. If needed, friendships will be destroyed and trust will be broken. I will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means shutting one of my friends out. This is gonna be a grueling race, but someone's gotta get first, and that person's gotta be me.

If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will try to find atleast one person who speaks a little English (there has to be one) and they'll be able to lead me to the nearest phone. Then I would call someone from my family to come send me money. Then I would take the money, buy an airplane ticket, and fly safely home.

2nd Position = Andrew F - Smartboi07

Ontario Canada

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because I have competed in an online Amazing Race game, and now I know what it is like. I am also very good at racing in regular time and I am a good competitor. Also, I'm the best

!If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from other players or the host to see what they can do to help me. Second, I would find a site with words that translate into English. Third, I would find someone that would speak a bit of English, and let he/she help me.

3rd Position = Bob, Team Missing In Action

Nick = Dddj89

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because I will never arrive at the pitstop last, lol. I would do that by taking the FF at the first chance I can. I would hopefully get a good lead and keep that lead by doing everything ASAP. That would hopefully get me to the final 3 at least.

If you are lost, how will you get home? = I would first pay a taxi to take me to the nearest jungle. I would pay the driver, then enter the jungle. I would use my psychic powers to trian the rhino I see. I would then ride the rhino like a horse until I come to the nearest ocean. I would then reuse my psychic powers to transform my rhino into a dolphin and ride it back to America.

3rd Position = IceGod08 -Blaine

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... I'm just that sexy! No, because I'll have an excellent partner (Allie, cutiegirl10852) that'll help me make it all the way to the end. We're both dedicated people, and if need be, we can suck up to other players and make alliances that should even everything out and pull us through to the end spot, where we'll get to stand in front of the 11 other teams and dance! We take these games seriously (but not too seriously, like those people that get obscenely mad when they lose), and we'll stick to

our position and keep kicking butt until we end up in first.

If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from ... My handy-dandy language book. I'll just flip and say, "Where is the airport?" in Greek, Spanish, Chinese, or Swahili. Of course, if the language is French, there will be no problem. So the first thing I do is go buy a book with the native language. The second thing I do is go to the US Embassy and make a phone call to my parents to let them know to pick me up. Then, using the book, I hitch a cab and go the the airport. I figure I have about 950 left now. I then buy a ticket home (first class, if I can swing it), and go to the airport and get picked up. Whooooo-hoo.

Nick = finchick1007

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... I am good at forming alliances, I play honestly and win the respect of

the other players which always helps me along the way.If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from

... the first person I see. I would begin by asking people if they speak English and whether or not I found someone who could, I would try to make my way to the nicest hotel I could find. Hotels are great places for travelers to get help and usually have internet access which would also be useful to me, so that I could schedule transportation .

Nick = PhantoMage

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... I work fast and know my way around the internet real well... I am also good at solving all kinds of clues.

If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from ... anybody who is nearby to direct me to a main city. Then I'll get a taxi, who most likely speaks English, to take me to an airport or airfield. Otherwise to a small convenience store to find a map. Then I would take a flight back to the nearest airport from my home and go from there.It wouldn't be too hard.

Nick = JoeGindahood

United States, Massachusetts

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because I get along with other people and I am a very good problem solver. I can get out of many different types of situations, and I would be a very good team player

If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from someone that can give me a free ride to an airport. This might take a while, but it would probably eventually work. Next, I would find a cheap flight, making its way back to where I live. In the meantime, I would have to spend some of the money on food. When I would get off the plane in America, I might have to find a taxi that would drive me home, and I would hopefully have enough money left over to do so.

Nick = Gutafing

Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... I'm smart, and I can easily send people down the wrong paths, and decieve them so that they lose. I'll also allign with some people and help them out.

If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from ... Find the nearest Canadian Embassy, or find a local that speaks english.
