New Zealand cacher willbuild just can't resist Blid435's BraveHeart Travel Bug! Having dropped BH off in his own cache last week, he's now retrieved the shiny TB and dropped it into this cache near North Island's Welcome Bay, 26.94 miles away. The milage will not be added to BraveHeart's official Knockout distance travelled due to it being the upteenth cache that willbuild has taken it to.
lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer TB has been retrieved from the German cache that it was penned in by Slovenian cacher perhan.
Finally for today, G-X's Voodoo Whodo What You Don't Dare Do People (Racer Bug) TB has been reported as missing from the Cheshire cache that it is logged into. If another cacher reports it missing too, then I'll mark it with the dreaded whereabouts unknown.

Confused? You Will Be!
Okay, first a little background; when I started The Great Travel Bug Knockout I decided not to allow multiple placings (known as "dips") to count towards an entry's total milage, so as not to give an unfair advantage to a TB that is picked up by a regular long-distance traveller. All three Bugs that have been moved in the last week have therefore had some or all of it's recent milage disallowed.
Firstly, current Knockout leader, Blid435's BraveHeart has had all of it's dips by New Zealand cacher willbuild disallowed apart from the first one. How many dips have been disallowed? Well, let's count them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42! After all that diptastic action, willbuild finally placed BH into this picturesque cache which he owns.
Next up is Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari TB, which cacher Anothercell placed into this cache on the busy U.S. Interstate Highway 5. Mysteriously, this log was deleted and KF was then dipped into this cache instead, then this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one and this one, before eventually being logged into Along the 5 again. As the difference between being placed directly into Along the 5 and being dipped into 1-Carrot-But NO BLING! is less than a mile, I've allowed the corrected order to stand.
Finally, G-X's Voodoo Whodo Whatever... TB was placed into an event cache named Dragon Motor Meet. Shortly afterwards the event was re-named Deceangi (The Boss's) Suprise Party and was revealed to be a surprise 50th Birthday party for Geocaching.com's head U.K. cache reviewer Deceangi. VWWYDDDP was retrieved from the event by cachers The GeoBEATS, who dipped it in this Cheshire cache, adding 39.54 miles to it's total distance travelled, before placing it into this cache, also in Cheshire.

Deja vu!
Yes, it's deja vu all over again, as Blid435's BraveHeart Travel Bug has been picked up from the cache that it was resting in by veteran New Zealand cacher willbuild, who then dipped it into this new cache shortly afterwards, extending it's lead by 19.61 miles.
lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer TB has also done some travelling, from Budapest, Hungary to this Austrian cache, and from there to this odd German "Flirt-Cache"; translate the webpage to find out what that means! Unfortunately for lgxkls, none of this international travelling has added any milage to HoG1's official Knockout distance due to the rule that stipulates that only the first dip by a cacher counts.
Finally, smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer Travel Bug has been retrieved by relative newbie cacher Dilboket.
