Good morning contestants! And then there was 5.. Kaylajr, DemonLlama, Tinkerbelle739, Tarmand and MsLeFever all have a 1 in 5 shot of winning the title of Wickedly Perfect Amazing Surviving Apprentice DIS Idol!
You all have come a long way and worked very hard. This week will be no exception though.
Here is your challenge. It is a specialty challenge in honor of The Amazing Race finale last week.
You are to design a "leg" of the Amazing Race in your home state. We have 5 different states being represented - Texas, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia - so there will be no issue of duplicate entries. Here are the details of your task:
*You must research your state to find 3 (three) areas to hold a "Roadblock" (for those not familiar with the Amazing Race, a Roadblock is where they have to complete some type of task having to do with something local.. it's often unusual and hard). I don't want you guys to take the easy route and pick well known landmarks in your state. I want you to dig and find the "off the beaten path" stuff. For instance:
~lets say that I was in the race. I live in Virginia. I would not pick things like Williamsburg, Monticello, etc. I would dig around and find things like "White Post- Virginia's Dinosaur Land south of Winchester is home to about 37 fiberglass prehistoric creatures ranging in height from 3- to 30-feet tall and as long as 90 feet." or "The Jeane Dixon Museum & Library is devoted to the psychic who was best known as The Psychic Who Predicted Kennedy's Assassination." or "Smithfield - Guinness World Records officially named Smithfield's 250th Anniversary Ham Biscuit as the World's Largest! See the interactive-screen exhibit of this 2,200-pound delight at the Isle of Wight Museum, where you can also see the World's Oldest Smithfield Ham 103 years old protected in a glass case in one of the museum's ham galleries. Be sure to ask which ham gallery." - Don't you all want to visit The Old Dominion now?
*Once you have your 3 locations, you will design a challenge that would have to be done by teams at each stop. Make them unusual and different.
*You may provide 1 (one) graphic per stop/challenge
*Present them in order geographically and provide directions from a major interstate that runs through your state (for instance I-95 or I-64 in Virginia) You don't want the teams to have to run back and forth across the state. The race should flow.
The deadline to get your entry to me for this week is Weds. May 18th at 9pm EST.
Now.. there is a twist. Isn't there always a twist?
This week will not be judged like the previous. There is a problem with the work not remaining anonymous due to the geographical locations. This week, our esteemed judge Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race will assign Immunity to the one entry he deems best. The following 4 entries will then go on to be judged in private by a jury of your peers. You will not know who these people are until the results are in. They will be people that I believe will be impartial and judge on the merit of the work and not on "popularity or friendship"
The 2 contestants with the lowest scores will leave the game and the three remaining contestants will move on to the FINAL ROUND of WPASADI and have a one in three shot of becoming known as "the ULTIMATE DISer!"
Good luck everyone!

(Otherwise you would have to do detours and then come up with 2 different tasks per stop and even I'm not that mean
