I thought it was rather ironic as they just got done showing the back of one of the Weaver girl's head how it's half dark and half light and she goes on to make a comment about the "Desperate Housewives" being "bleached blondes" and having "implants." Gawd..I really dislike these people!

I want to know how they make up for these production crew errors, too. There should be a much better explanation. Saying they ended up in last place because of no fault of their own is totally unsatisfying. The G sisters seemed to leave rather close to the team they were behind at the beginning so maybe that's where they got their time back, but....... they shouldn't have been penalized in the first place as far as placement! I also think the G sisters who pick on Chris are the ones who look bad. She's really trying and they're just being obnoxious.

I sure hope Part 2 and the Weaver's run-in with the law puts them at the back of the pack and elminated. My VCR didn't tape it so I missed a bit thinking it was and I wish I could go back and listen to some comments made, etc. Oh well..I got enough to make an opinion anyway!!

Well, it was as quite a few of us suspected tonight...not a pit stop, but just a new clue and continuation of the race! I watched the very end, but still haven't decided whether to go back and catch the whole thing I have for the moment on tape. The only part I did catch "live" was the "laying of the rail" and was quite impressed with the Bransen father stepping up to the plate!

The comment that everyone missed with the Linz's was when the one brother said it only took him 3 strokes to get the spike in, his other brother goes "Yeah that's all it takes him in bed, too," and then the sister got all mad at them for being gross.

OK...I can't believe I'm just getting to this now, but:

1) What is up with these production errors? If one isn't bad enough, now we have a second. And, oh by the way, those are the two teams who just missed Old Faithful or all four teams could be dead even at the "non-pit stop".
- Easy solution to our problem: hold the Weavers and Bransens at the mat until the Linzes and Godlewskis arrive.

2) I still love the Linz and Bransen families.

3) I hate the Weaver family even more after last night. Do they really have no clue about the way they are acting and still complain about the way they are being treated? SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!

4) I am very, very happy at the previews of the Weavers getting in trouble with the law. So, Costa...if you're a bad person for loving it, I'm on the couch with you.

Just some random thoughts, I know.

I didn't get why the Bransens say they are not in on the problems others have with the Weavers, but they made it a point to give them the cold shoulder and try to ignore them at Old Faithful.

I am beginning to feel a little bad for Chris Godlewski. Last night it appeared that Michelle enjoys tormenting her.

Hey Stop... there's still some room on this couch, so come on over and get comfy. Just shove Costa off to the side (he'll purr at you).

I do think the Godlewskis got some time credit. I don't remember it seeming as if they came in so quickly behind the 2nd place team last week. I usually try to watch the shadows to see how much time has passed between teams. It was obviously a lot of time till the Weavers hit the mat. But the Godlewskis came in during cloud cover and I couldn't see the shadows. Which is why I think they must've gained an hour or two to leave just minutes after the rest.

IMO the most annoying part of the show last night is those sisters being so rude to Chris, especially Michelle. She made me want to physically shake her and tell her she is a bully. Is Chris the baby of the family?

How do we know that the Weavers didn't need any money for this leg? Who pays for the gas to drive hundreds and hundreds of miles in a gas guzzler pulling a mobile home? :-)

the credit card that TAR supplies covers their coach flights and gas. this year they included gas as part of what is covered as they have to do most of their transportation by driving.

the <57> have been like this probably their entire lives. can you imagine a christmas dinner with them?! one whines all the time and the others all snap, mostly at her.
the difference for me between the <57> and the weavers is that the weaver's remarks are always against/about other teams.
i think the sisters have always had a stormy relationship and that there are a lot of years between the oldest and the youngest--16, maybe? i have 3 sisters, but the 4 of us are less than 5 years apart from oldest to youngest. if it got 'mean' at all between us, i could see one of us saying, "knock if off", or "let's give it a rest", but i cannot imagine us telling each other to just shut up. they are really mean to each other. i don't care for any of them.
i like the bransen and linz families equally but the <57> sisters are barely above the God-full weavers.
i did find the weaver mom to be teenage-acting and snarky tonight. her husband truly must have done everything for them; she is still like an adolescent a lot of the time.

and the 'bottle blondes' comment from the teenage weaver made me laugh. looks like she and mom both use something on their hair. i think she really has a 'boob' complex, too. there was an implant/fake boobs comment from her in the same sentence as the bottle-blonde comment.

I find the Godlewskis now almost as annoying as the Weavers - and speaking of that the sainted Weaver mother got in one good comment about the Godlewskis last night (and now I can't remember it but it was downright witchy).

And gosh those cattle horses were beautiful paints!

Okay gas is covered. But food? :-)

I"m guessing from its movement at the trot that black and white paint is actually a Peruvian Paso cross. It was a breathtakingly beautiful horse.

Thanks, Landi. I think I feel more sorry for the Weavers the more people pick at 'em.

I think the only person I'm resenting more than the Weavers would be that Michelle sister... the one that is constantly baiting Christine.

Christine is annoying, no doubt... but that Michelle (hope I'm disparaging the right sister) is absolutely nasty...

If she was my sister I believe the production crew would have had to pull me off her then raise bail....I would have decked her by now...and I'm a non-violent Walmart shopper!!!

I also found it funny that when the Linz and Weaver vehicles passed one another on the narrow road, Mrs. Weaver screech at the Linz boy, "You're supposed to yield to oncoming cars" and he said, "I APOLOGIZE", then we see the Weaver kids saying mockingly, "I apologize. He's so rude." Where I come, apologizing is being polite. Then again, I'm Canadian. Maybe it's different in other places

I though she was telling the Linzes that you are supposed to yield to "outgoing" traffic and I took Rolly's "rude" remark as being directed at the Linzes for not yielding instead of for the apology.

Iheartkysar, I totally agree. That was hysterical!

To me, the best part of last night was the whole Florida family covered in coal dust--so much so that it made Mrs. Florida look like she had a black moustache! LOL! And then they were yelling at Rolly, of all people, to hurry up as he threw coal into the train car! When has Rolly NOT hurried?

They must live in opposite world.

I was thinking what it would be like to run this race with my sisters. Me being the middle. I think my baby sister or I...one of us wouldn't come out alive.

I vacationed with her in Vegas one time and, brother…it wasn't easy. So I have a wee bit of sympathy for the sisters...although I would NEVER EVER do this race with her. No parent should lose a child to murder.

However, I’d be able to run this race with my 2 brothers.

Nice to see the bashing on the teams switch from the Weavers to the Godlewskis for a change...

Those sisters... can we say, "serious daddy issues"???

Yes, the Weavers have come across as rude, etc but I think part of that is just their way of joking around and part of it is just their personality. The only team that hasn't really snarked around is the Branson family as the Linzs and Godlewskis certainly have.
