I'm thinking the Weaver mom needs to follow the end of that nursery rhyme (old woman living in a shoe). As in, whupping the kids' butts and sending 'em to bed. <wink>

Oh for freakin' pete's sake. You've GOT to be kidding! Why put a yield on a non elimination leg?

Weavers saying they will be the last nice family and they will be gone. Say the people who will win it will spend it on bigger boobs and something else. Linz and Bransens wondering where the Weavers are and why they haven't made it to the park yet. Godlewskis can't believe they are still in the race and wonder what happened to the Weavers. They are a little sad about not getting to see the Weaver's reaction to the Yield. Weavers have stopped for McDonalds, Mom says stopping for ice cream always makes you feel better. (Clearly the Godlewskis had Burger King earlier because their food was not shown whereas the McDonlads logo in full view with the Weavers.) Linz family gets to Salt Lake City and asks for directions. Bransens arrive and looking for Library too. They have a map with the Library on it... Linz family arriving now and running. Linz family are team #1. Phil jokes with them that there are no prizes this time. Then says no... they won a ski trip it looks like? Phil says in addition to that prize, they have a beautiful woman to welcome them to the mat. Bransen family is team #2. They cheer and hug. Godlewskis arrive and find the library. They are team #3. They cheer and high five. Phil asks them if they know what happened with the yield today? Wants to know if they are happy with it and they say yes. Phil asks how they feel about the "chatty" one (Christina) and they say she hasn't hit the point of too much yet. Christina says if they say she is talking too much, she can control it. Weavers yield is over and Rolly does the ski jump. They are off and say they just want to be eliminated. They arrive at the pit stop. They are the last team to arrive and pretend to be surprised by that... Phil tells them it's a non-elimination leg and they are still in the race. They pretend to be happy about it and Phil tells them that is the most un-enthusiastic reaction to a non-elimination in the history of the race. They say that no one likes them anymore. Phil taking everything except for the clothes on their back. He's questioning about not seeing the fire in their eyes to keep going and they admit that it's hard. They love the race but they don't like the personal stuff. Phil encourages them that people have come from last to win the race. Mother admits that she was ready to quit but his words gave her encouragement to continue and says they are not ready to stop, they are ready to win.

That Weaver mother is always ready to quit. I'm glad the Linz's came in first this time. Finally! And I'm glad the Bransen's are still in it. Maybe they will all have enough of a head start next time to ensure that the Weavers go buh bye!

Next time: Bransens and Linz have a mid-air collision. Weavers confront the Linz family. They are asking if they are sorry they wasted their yield and Linz family says no. Weaver mother promises that they will be.... My commentary on that: Why would they be sorry? The Weavers now start later than everyone else and there aren't anymore yields are there? They might be sorry there was a non-elimin but since no one else seems to like the Weavers doesn't seem like they have any reason to regret using the yield.

I hope Raen gets all of the previews. They showed the Weavers confronting the Linz family about using the Yield. Askign if they are sorry - LInz say no, Weavers respond< "You will be." Do the Weavers understand that it is part of the game to use the Yield? Why do they always confront the family that uses it?

The Weavers are really sore losers. They did the same thing the last time they were yielded (who did the yielding? I can't remember). But they confronted 'em then, too. For such "Christians" they sure are vindictive. Even the mother. And yeah, Raen. There were two Yields this season. The Weavers had the ignominous honor of being yielded both times. Hehehe...

I wonder how the Weavers are feeling when watching themselves. I can only hope they see what everyone else sees!

Thanks, Costa, I thought there were only 2 but then I wasn't sure from the way they were acting. 'Course the Linz family will probably say the obvious right back to them.

I didn't think the Weavers were sore losers. I think they are just beaten down by the attitudes of the other racers. I thought it showed a lot of character to say that the money wasn't worth having her family be treated like this. I'm happy that Phil gave them encouragement. I think that Phil is really seeing what is going on in this race and he feels sorry for the way the Weavers are being treated, too.

I'm a firm believer in karma, Az. What goes around comes around. If what little we were shown was any indication of how the Weavers treated others early on in the race, I'm not surprised it's come back to smack 'em upside the head. I have zero sympathy for this family. I think they've asked for it, and are now whining about how they are being treated. I think the mother has whined just about the entire way thru this season ("I'm tired of trying to do things I can't") and her confrontational attitude after having been yielded is also bad sportsmanship. They were yielded because it's a game, and someone wanted to be sure they stayed at the back of the pack. Period. It's a game. Get over yerself. (The Weavers. Not you, Az! )
