Congrats to Bela and Verali!

Sal, I know how you feel. Yesterday I finished my cases with only one clue and two possibilities left. I was seriously contemplating guessing but decided I wasn't brave enough to do it. Kudos to you for having the guts, and I'm sorry you picked the wrong one.

Autumn, as Sal had no cases left and Verali and Bela had already finished their hunts that day, he was faced with a choice between definitely getting knocked out of the tournament by not guessing, or taking a 50/50 guess and having that 50% chance of staying in the tournament. Therefore taking that 50% chance is the right thing for him to do. It'd have been better for my tournament chances if he'd just not taken that chance.

Good luck to those moving on to the next round.
Sal, sorry that your guess was wrong, I know how that feels. Luckily guessing wrong does not effect your detective, other than a failed villain hunt showing on your villain hunts list.

Congratulations to everyone who has taken part in this Tournament!! It's been an exciting show to watch!! ;-D

Before we get something going that's not worth it, let's step back, people. Ultimately, the decision to guess on a hunt, regardless of where you are in it, is yours. Whether the choice is 1 in 2, or 1 in 10, you're still taking a chance. And IF or when you pressure your teammate to make that choice, remember, you're asking them to potentially fail their hunt. It can be a bitter pill to swallow.

Sal, you have my sympathies. I hope you know you've done a great job! And you didn't need four times to get it right!! ;-D

Everyone going on to the next round, Good Luck, and Happy Hunting!! See you on the other side of the mountain!! ;-D

Congratulations to everyone moving forward! Go Bella! Sorry you lost the round Sal!

I need to say this... I wish I'd have gone through Cairo as I did in my last hunt while I was in the competition. 5 cases - 5 hints. Bam! Done. What were the chances?! Ugh.

Yeti, somehow I missed that it was his last case. Not sure how. Oh well. Thanks! :)

RIGGED!! Too inflammatory for ya?! :)

Well done everyone. It's been a closely fought competition! I look forward to the final round outcome. better get cracking on a prize I suppose.

Squirrel, I'd like to speak up on behalf of the future winner. Please don't make the prize nut-related. I know this is hard to believe, but not everyone loves nuts the way you do. ;)

Teammate? I thought we were all out for blood?
Well, I am certainly after some Yeti blood: I expect it to have a decent retail value as a rare commodity. So, in summary, Yeti I encourage you to guess absolutely everything. You too I suppose, Bela.
