I only have access to the Closed Caption transcript right now but it says "... this was the third in several predetermined nonelimination legs".

I guess I am thinking more about the number of shows without an elimination...

Native-

What I met about the BB thing, was I've seen what editing can do. I had the live feeds, and watched the show. I was stunned at how some things made it while so much other important stuff didn't make it to the show.

I know there has to be a reason for the mob hate, but if I don't see, I don't get it. The reason we don't like the Weavers is because of what has been said by them that other teams have not heard. I know why the viewers don't like them, I just wanna know why the teams don't.

I'm with Costa, Lexie and Just...there's no chance I'd be caught dead supporting the Weavers. I really cannot stand their hypocracy.

I believe somewhere along the way we were told there were going to be three non-elimination legs. Of course, since we know the finale is Dec. 13 that only leaves two weeks with four teams. So, next week has to be elimination (the continuation of this week's leg, so to speak). Then the 2-hour finale may or may not include an actual pitstop in the middle (much like the 2-hour premiere), maybe?

Any other thoughts?

They are sure not gonna fly outta my behind, Lex!!! Dixie or no!

I remember noticing Phil said "third of several non-elimination" and thought that was interesting since I could swear he'd said "of three" before. But there is a non-elimination leg cause three of 'em race for the finish, so...

One of the Weavers yelled at the Linz' to "read your clue".

I took that to mean the clue dictated who had the right of way should two teams meet on the access road.

Back to the Weavers' lack of money for a moment. From what I read above, their gas is provided via credit card. And maybe they just ate the food provided at the pit stop. But there were two times during the show that it seemed to me money should be changing hands and I didn't see it happen. The first was at the place where they camped overnight. Those places usually charge. And the second was entering Yellowstone to see Old Faithful. Now I've been to Yellowstone and I distinctly remember paying to enter the park. Did the Weavers pay? And, if so, where did they get the cash?

It didn't show any of them paying to get into Yellowstone. The Weavers had gotten a little money from someone so would have probably had it to pay.

Were the Weaver's stripped of their belongings? Or just their money?

When the Bransen's had the non-elim, they arrived at the mat loaded up on clothes. But I don't recall if anything they weren't wearing (if anything was left LOL) was taken away.

The Weaver's were able to get through a good chunk of the leg without money.
They went to the Hot Air Balloon, drove and performed the Detour (coals), drove to the clue at Salt Lake Flats, and got into the Bear Lake Rendezvous Beach for a rest period as the 2nd team - which is the place where they asked those people for money.

What I did notice is the first team that arrived at Bear Lake - the Bransens - when the father was talking to the woman in the booth, one of the daughters in the back seat had money in her hand.
Now whether they paid to get in or not, you can't tell.


I'm still really annoyed about the Production error. I can't see how a time credit could have been given to the Linzs because they were last to leave Bear Lake the next morning.
They were given 15 min. intervals starting at 8:30am to leave the park in the order in which they had arrived (Linzs left at 9:15am) - as opposed to the leaving 12 hours from the time they arrived.
It even says on the website:
"the Linz family settled for a 9:15 am departure after a production problem caused them to fall into last place."

Apparently, the Weavers were able to beg for quite a bit of stuff. Here's an unaired clip from the website where the Weavers talk about people who gave them stuff: clothes, food, money, sleeping bags, ...

And here's one where they talk about people who did *not* give them money:

Frankly, I don't remember seeing folks pay for much of anything throughout the race. They've had those campers for a while now to sleep in, no need for hotels. What else has anyone had to pay for?

Spear, the 12-hour intervals are between each leg of the race. Bear Lake was during the last leg. The departure times for that section of the leg were in 15-minute intervals.

Most campgrounds have pretty modest fees, particularly national and state parks. You would usually be looking at $12 to $18 a night. Now the big fancy "brand name" campgrounds that offer hot tubs, cable TV, internet connections, etc. are in the $25 to $35 range with resort areas going up as high as $40 or even a little more.

I disagree Tn, that's not camping. The only part about that that I could even possibly consider camping is the fact you are not inside a concrete building.

Why am I not surprised that the Weavers don't know what the word "please" means?

I don't think it's that the Weavers (or specifically that daughter) don't know what the word "please" means. I think possibly she didn't understand that the woman may have been (I can't say for sure it's what she was doing since I wasn't there) telling her to say please.
