Glad to see you liked my choice of teams. I literally picked your teammates through a probability simulator. Since we're doing a team format and we have only 4 teams, there will be no eliminations, it'll be a progressive points race lasting about 10 weeks, alright?

Gentlemen... it's time! As you embark on your 10 week journey to victory, take this clue with you to guess the first band: This rock band's name is 2 words long. And you all might want to know That the second word shares the first word Of an old PBS show. So everyone pack your bags. Get set and get ready. The main characters of that show Are none other than Max and Emmy. PM to me in your team thread, not your individual thread, the answer of the band, not the show, to receive your next clue. surfy Ed The Pacifist! trustypepper JCMF3 Future Captain Spidey Fancy @jf816

Week 2 begins now! Score update: @jf816 and Fancy are in the lead with 120 points. Ed The Pacifist! and trustypepper are in second with 90 points. surfy and Spidey are in third with 85 points. And... JCMF3 and Future Captain are in last with 80 points. The first clue: Well congratulations everyone. You finished week one. But your work over on this game Is far from done. Now tell me the awards show Where one star's moment was wrecked. I want the first one, not the second. And yes... I checked.

2 days into Week 2 and half of the teams are midway through the mission, half of them are in the second leg. Scheduling and keeping up took time to master for everyone (even the host), but everything seems to be running smooth.
As the guy who was also hired to monitor the race and the teams, I will allow any team members to come forth and share their team story as they progress deeper into the race.

Contestants after completing their mission will then travel to their next checkpoint. They will need to pass through 2 cities to reach their destination. The first team to successfully tell me all 3 cities will win a power up.

Once again, Fancy and Invince are winners! They win leg #2 and they won a U-Turn.
But what's this...? We have a power up for grabs for Week 3! It's a Fast Forward Power Up! Since Fancy and Invince won the first 2 legs, they are not allowed to play for the power up.
To win the power up, you need to complete the puzzle. Here we go:
1) Miranda Lambert mentions what type of atlas in "Automatic?" 2) Use the last letter in the answer to #1 to find her also #35 peaking song that has the first letter of the second word. 3) Leave the Country genre to find the song from a 2010's Canadian female singer that has the exact song title from #2 in one of her song titles. 4) And finally... name her most recent song to end the short mission.
You must submit all 4 answers via your INDIVIDUAL THREAD.

Well normally, I'd say don't count your chickens before they hatch, but you two seem to have a good technique figured out indeed. Well good luck in leg 3, you are done for this week. :)

UPDATE:
Due to Spring Break, The Amazing Race has decided to take off a week and re-form some portions of the game. Enjoy your week off and any mission unfinished in Week 2 may be completed with no penalty.
