BONUS FILL-IN QUESTIONS (100 pts) -- The player that guesses the closest to the actual answer gets these points.  Only one winner for each question, so think wisely and add your answers to the following questions:

19.   Based on the preview and speculation, it appears the one detour task involves posing like body builders.  The other detour is not known or apparent in the previews -- this is harder than usual, so the point value just went up to 100!  What will be the phrasing of the detour options?  For example, Flex like a pro or Rigid as a ruler.

WILD CARD QUESTIONS (50 pts. each) -- This is the newest addition to TAG 19!  For the next couple of weeks, there will be five questions about events that will happen in the final legs of the race.  That means no points will be awarded for these questions until the game is almost over.  When added up, these questions will be worth 50 points each, so you can imagine the rankings could get mixed up by these questions.  That's opportunity for some of the low scoring players to get a lot closer to the top.  And an added bonus of the Wild Card Question is it counts as an extra leg of the game.  As you recall from the rules (you read them, right?), the two lowest scoring legs for each player get dumped at the end of the game.  Thus, the Wild Card leg can make up for an unfortunate week when your answers were missing or just not up to your usual game play.  Woo hoo!
