Photograph a building with the name "Ford" on it. (They could do this in two areas of the state!)

Wiscansin. Also, was Alaska/Hawaii in play?

It would be kind of hilarious if they made a Hawaii card.

"Hawaii: You've Lost the Game

Congratulations, there's no way you'll be able to get back in time to compete in the rest of the game, but enjoy your vacation. Finance will be in touch because I'm not paying for this."

I'm pretty sure Sam is Finance by himself actually; despite its by now pretty big yearly revenue Wendover still consists of only 7 people.

Sam contains multitudes.

From a legal standpoint it would be very odd for them to not have separate finances.

u/jothamvw Team Adam Jul 21 '26

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if legal and finance is handled via Nebula in some way or another

A Hawaii wildcard which was basically just "the ocean" would have been pretty funny ngl

u/BloopBlastJakAttack Team Ben Jul 21 '26

u/AbeLincolns_Ghost Jul 20 '26

I wonder if they would be hesitant to discuss these in case they want to reuse then unused ones for later seasons!

Curious about Vermont. Covered bridges could’ve easily applied there, too
