Treasure Hunters??

[Golf4food]

Anyone else having luck with this? I'm definitely not.

The symbols run down the middle of the star, top to bottom, but you have to make sure you have the correct door symbol - that was our problem: wrong door. Once I changed the door it opened and gave the final clue...

Now as the answer to the final clue...

I guess I just can't get them lined up properly.

Kelly, I am having the same problem. I wish there was an easier way to line up the symbols. I am sure I have the right ones.

I can't figure out how to get off the boat.....

PS- GO AIR FORCE

Definitely. I felt bad for ex-CIA because they thought they had it.

I know poor them. They thought they had it and they almost did, oh well.

Did you order your replacement backpack?

I agree. But this sure was a close race this time! I do wish the ex-CIA had made it, though. But Air Force is in the final 3, and they're my top pick.

What was up with that fight? Good grief!!

From the beginning I thought it would be the Air Force and the CIA as the front runners, I was quite surprised that Miss USA made it as far as the they did, and well the Geniuses I thought they would have the knowledge but felt that they probably were not big on endurance or common sense. All in all I now know why the CIA are exes! Heck they could hardly find their way around! No directional sense whatsoever

 

[LadyDulcinea1]

Did you order your replacement backpack?

Yea, finally figured out how to do that!

So now I have all the clues and I STILL have no idea where this thing is......guess that's why I'm playing at home and not on the show lol

I feel so bad for ex-CIA....they must have solved it like two seconds after the geniuses (who I would much rather have seen go out of the four). Very excited though that Air Force is still in it, if they don't win I'll be very surprised....they're like ridiculous how they figure all that stuff out!

Go Air Force!! (and I can't help but root for the Southie Boys )

 

[Kycha]

I can't stand "the geniuses". They are the new "Fogals". Actually, I don't mind the two guys. The one that really bugs me is the little blond guy. Very arrogant, pushy and mean.

I couldn't help but laugh at them when they were bragging about knowing Philadelphia so well. They were the first ones to leave the ledge, yet they were the third ones to arrive at Founders Hall. Too funny.

ETA: Go Air Force(and Southies).

 

[azgal81]

Go Air force and southies!! I can not stand the geniuses. I loved how that one guy was from philly and got them completely lost he was so sure he knew where he was going too. We do not know how close it was between them and ex CIA they could have done some editing to make it seem closer then it really was. I feel bad for them they seemed really confused when they got the elimination call!

LOL I loved that! That always seems to happen on these type of shows.....anyone remember Amazing Race season 1???

 

[Disney Ella]

I was really hoping the Geniuses would get eliminated. I can't stand Francis, the Philly boy. I don't know if anybody else noticed, but at one point the geniuses were driving over the Ben Franklin Bridge into New Jersey! Not going to find Girard College there.

I hope Air Force wins.

OMG. I totally missed that. How funny is that!!

 

[Kycha]

anyone remember Amazing Race season 1???

I don't remember that. What happened?

I do remember last seasons Amazing Race Family. The family from New Orleans had no idea where they were and ended up getting eliminated in their own backyard.

 

[TheDoctor]

The Southies nearly blew it with the fight. I am glad that the Geniuses made it despite themselves. The finale looks like it will be fun.

Don't want to ruin it for people who haven't seen it, but let's just say that a team is convinced they have it in the bag because they lived in one city and wind up losing

 

[Metro West]

I couldn't help but laugh at them when they were bragging about knowing Philadelphia so well. They were the first ones to leave the ledge, yet they were the third ones to arrive at Founders Hall.

I was thinking the same thing..Francis and his big mouth.

I answered the Smithsonian at least once, and caught on to the flag illusions early on, but I guess they didn't draw my name (10 finalists chosen out of however many entered the correct answer at least once...)

Still fun, all the same.
