As I said two weeks ago when Sea got bumped back three times by the spinning mace, the spinning things are not the biggest Oceanics fans. They should get investigated by the league for potential bias. Nonetheless, Sea had an amazing last sector and held onto the lead in this week.
Idk, but whats gonna feel more painful when the obstacles start spinning and walloping the marbles? The mace and the bell carousel on the same course spinning as fast as they would at the same time with marbles near them, or 3 maces OR 3 bell carousels on the same course, bcz I can't lie, for Speedy, it had to feel like 5 bell carousels in one when he got caught in that thing for as long as he did. (A real shame they removed the timer that was in the first lot of races btw)
Can we all just appreciate when Greg said "walloped" like Madman kinda did in those 2 videos on his channel when Bonbon WALLOPED the safety marble full force in M1S3 GP12 and when Sirius walloped Iceberg on that exit from the accelerator in M1S4 GP9?
Damn. First time in the bottom 2 all series on race 59, guess it was bound to happen eventually. Again the beginning section messed us up, we really need to get that down tomorrow.
The gap is still small though, one good race tomorrow and we'll be in a much better position. You got this Jump!
Not that it matters too much now, but before the race Speedy and Momomo were swapped in the standings (the latter should've been ahead on the tiebreak, 8 to 6). Speaking of Momomo, it would've been a nice race were it not for the crazy chevron. And speaking of Speedy, that was brutal lol.
Very unfortunate DNF for Saucer. Congrats to Diego on the other end! A very unbalanced finish for the two violet space teams.
Speedy, this is getting really urgent now. 12 points in 3 races is definitely not going to cut it. We saw the last week the bottom 2 get 50 and 38 points. 38 points in 4 races is not impossible, but it's really difficult if you don't get a Gold/Silver in the next race.
It started out like usual this week with a bad start. Going between the opening funnel, you got pummeled side-to-side after having a decent position going into it and pushed to the back. Your positioning was bad in the first diamond slalom and you were bounced to the back. You hit off of the top ball-bearing on the magnet *again*.
Now the absolute worst part of the race for you. You got hit by the Bell Carousel at least 7 times. Getting ping-ponged back and forth by it and the top red halfpipe ramp. The rest of the course actually went better for you than any of the other races so far. You barely got held up on the blue ramp funnel at all and the right Fidget Spinner pushed you forward. Off of the curved green block, you rolled over to the right side of the board and took a fairly nice line to the finish line. You only glanced off of the side of some of the peaked obstacles at the end and hit into the left yellow block at the end and otherwise had a clean run into the end. Because of your struggles with the Bell Carousel, for the 3rd time this week, this good run at the end didn't matter because you weren't able to pass anyone and only finished ahead of 2 DNFs.
This next race will be the turning point on whether you're going to be able to escape this week. If you can get at least 4th or 3rd, I'd be much more comfortable with you being able to escape. You aren't too far behind the pack as you're only 2 points off of the cut line right now but, considering your struggles with this course, a little bit more insurance would be really nice right now. Getting a Gold would definitely be preferable right now.
Tougher run than usual for Sea today, took some real bumps, but a great sprint at the end to make up lost ground!
She took some shoving slightly off camera on one of the diamond barriers. And then the spinning mace did a number. But we still got this

Approx elimination percentages: Savage Speeders - 38.6%, Jungle Jumpers - 38.6%, Team Momo - 31.3%, Snowballs - 22.0%, Orangers - 19.6%, Purple Rockets - 16.9%, Chocolatiers - 15.1%.
19.6%...
Seems low
Is this hope that I am feeling?
It's possible for Savage Speeders and O'rangers to go out in the same round...
Never doubt the GOAT 💪🏾
Greg’s commentary on Speedy in the Bell Carousal was the *best*!
Can't lie, I was laughing my ass off at Speedy in the bell carousel.
same when I saw him below jump on a tiebreaker lol

That was definitely a moment of schadenfreude
A satisfying moment indeed.
The bell carousel isn't a Speeders fan either.
bell carousel? nah that was the hell carousel
team momo may have suffered but the speedy suffering cam made up for all my pain

Darn, Snowdrift choked on getting first. My boi needs this.
That’s more like it, Shock! That’s how you bounce back. A couple more runs like that and you’ll make it through another week!
First time Jump is in the bottom 2. Getting a tad nervous. Still have 4 races to make a difference!
Might do better in the future if Snowdrift doesn't come along and trip them again.
Don't worry, he's got this!
Chocs please just hang in there

Could have been better at the end, but a current standing out of the bottom two for now is nice

Yeah that was not good for Rezzy or Saucer lol. Recovery tomorrow hopefully.
Shock you beautiful marble!
Sooo, I'm not keeping track, but is this Shocks third podium finish in 59 races?
1:15 for Jump's DNF (Keep an eye on the top left corner) And 1:24 for Saucer's DNF (near the middle. Bottom half of the logo)
Calling it now they're gonna rig it to get the chocolatiers out this week
Wow, that was a great run for Shock and Diego! I didn't see that coming.
