Finally! Thank you, Mandarin. The Limers have the funniest score record I've seen in a week so far. Also, well done to the Bees, that's good consistency.
Haha, Mandarin got me excited, then totally paranoid when it looked like forgoing the lead. Thankfully it only amounted to one position by the end, but looked like it could have lost a whole lot more.
This is why I love the O'rangers. Mandarin often struggles in early races and is prone to tripping up sometimes, but they ALWAYS come through when it matters. 🍊
Slimelime was winning the first time he DNF’d as well. He’s been awesome on this course (mostly). As a longtime Limers fan, I was fully expecting to be eliminated in the first week or two, but this has already been a crazy run for the rookie. And it looks like another week of Limetime yet
The fact that Slimelime can get 2 DNFs and be a contender for auto-qualification for next week is the bizarre hooliganism I joined this team for. #LIMETIME!
2:04 Cordial move by Swax of the Bumblebees to free Diego from being trapped on the fidget spinner switch! - Indigo Stars fan We're competing for both this week's gold and for the overall tournament point total so props to ya, and I wish the best of luck to you guys! 🫡
He had a great day - jumped out early and did well most of the course, just one section where he went into super dilly dally mode, but luckily had a large enough margin to hold on to 2nd
Just aim for the top half. That's what I've been saying everyday. Even if you're not first, landing in the top half positions will give you enough points to stay afloat and better chances to last until the next week
As a Chocolatiers fan struggling to get any source of hope or expectations of this team over the last 5 years. It's so nice to see them up and fighting with the big dogs. Chocolatiers fan for life no matter what!
🐝SWAX is amazing, nailing the magic 10 3 times in a row - Double Digit Party!!! 🎉🥳🍾 And lookat the com back of 🍊MANDARIN Next 🟡YELLAH needs to show some of his magic at the weekend! 😎🙏🇩🇪
snowballs have been in dead last all week, snowdrift just cannot get a grip on this course taking that hit must have been a real blow to their performance
can you beleive we have had 68 races in 68 days? Seriously, that is some real dedication from the whole JMA team to keep these events exciting and fun!
@@TrollzUnitedOfficial No, that was a demon-filled run, still! I was boggling at Mandarin's ability to still. hit. every. obstacle! I'm going to pull myself bald before this is all over, I fear. 😨
Chocolatiers... I was worried for this race since Bonbon was starting to slip in the standings after a mediocre finish last race and we were in a similar position in race 5 of last week and Bonbon got a DNF. A first place is absolutely fantastic at this point, since it gets rid of any fear I might have of us losing this week. It's even more cool, since Bonbon was in the middle of the pack for most of the race and then they navigated the last third or so of the course so masterfully. At 1:48 Bonbon is in 8th and is a ways behind the leaders in Saucer and Slimelime, then for the next 10 seconds they make up a couple of spots through the spinners, then at 2:00 you can see some masterful obstacle navigation for Bonbon to make up about 4 spots in less than 2 seconds and take first, cruising to a well-deserved win! Also, I love Greg Woods but Bonbon was barely recognized for his win, I guess he doesn't find the team that interesting which... fair enough but also come on!
3 CONSECUTIV **PENULTIMATE** POSITION!!! WHAT HAPPENS ARYP?!?!? Please don't give up right now. We know you are capable to survive so PLEASE don't lose hope.
Probabilities that teams will be eliminated after round 70: == SPOILERS BELOW == Bumblebees: 1 in 200 million Thunderbolts: 1 in 20 million Indigo Stars: 1 in 20 million Chocolatiers: 0.05% Limers: 0.1% Purple Rockets: 0.1% Mellow Yellow: 1.1% Raspberry Racers: 3.1% O'rangers: 6.1% Jungle Jumpers: 8.2% Oceanics: 29.4% Team Primary: 44.7% Minty Maniacs: 45.4% Snowballs: 61.7%
This is from simulating 500,000 races. The chance of a DNF is estimated by the number of DNFs on this track. Up to race 68, that's 4 in 70, or 5.7%. Probabilities smaller than 1 in 100,000 (0.001%) are not estimated directly from the simulation, but are extrapolated using a best-fit function. Those are only approximate.
That Limers box score this week so far is something else, it will be something if they get eliminated. At least near the bottom a very gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd result and some breathing room for now!
The beginning is what REALLY screws us over. That first bit where the athletes impact with each other., Sea gets pushed so far back that they can't get enough speed to catch back up. We REALLY need to get a good impact.
We almost had a repeat of the Mellow Yellow and Limers DNF in the exact same way. This time with what might have been the Jumpers? It cost Mellow Yellow a good finish, but I'll definitely take that over a DNF.
As a stoner who loves chocolate, my two teams have been the " Hazers" and the "Chocolatiers". It's good to see my chocolate guys showing up for a change. GO BON BON! 😁👍
I had 4 teams going into this whole thing at the beginning. My last (and most favourite) CCE's bowed out a few weeks ago. But Swax and Bonbon have been really growing on me. And a hearty "Go Jungle Jumpers!" goes out to Jump 'cause well, you know.....somebody has got to cheer for them
I'm terribly unlucky to have all of my favourite teams still in the game. Cheering for four out of fourteen means there's always somebody giving me worries!
The M-Tron 2000 simulator has bad news for these teams. This is the percent of simulations the in which following teams were eliminated: Snowballs: 65% Minty Maniacs: 50% Team Primary: 44% Oceanics: 26% Jungle Jumpers: 6.5% O'rangers: 5.3% Raspberry Racers: 1.9% Mellow Yellow: 0.42%
Technically there are some teams mathematically safe. Bumblebees, Thunderbolts and Indigo Stars, for example. You shouldn't just check the distance from the last spot, but also all others. There's no combination that condemn those three
**FUN FACT!** After today’s race, the safe zone is 59 points. If you’re thinking, “wouldn’t 61 points be the safe zone,” the answer is, it would be if 12th and 13th place were separated by at least two points.
@@calebvandocto4228 I’m saying that at this point in time, the safe zone is 59 points. It will change and be lower after tomorrow’s race unless the 12th and 13th place racers finish in 1st and 2nd, 11th finishes 3rd, 10th finishes 4th, etc…
It's so hilarious that not only do Bumblebees and Primary represent the duality of consistency over the past 3 races right now, but they also happen to be the only teams to score exactly 10 points in this week so far.
Oof Snowdrift took a big hit from that fidget spinner, lost a few spots due to that. This week has been hard to watch, I still have some hope we can make it out of this mess
It's kinda nice to see that Drifty isn't so far back as to make a comeback especially unlikely. Really just needs one good finish, podium if possible, to escape the bottom two. Top half to be safe for the other remaining race. Getting down to the wire here.
Spoiler Barrier I'm really worried this is the Minty Maniac's swan song...they've been comfortably in the middle all this time, but they really need to step up to survive now.
