I'm sorry, but I haven't seen a single "neutral" post here.

The definitive:
[18:42] charjt: it looked like Rolly grabbed the Linz bro's bag and swung him
[18:43] write4users: Didn't she screech not to touch him?
[18:43] charjt: wasn't a screech, but yeah, she called it out
[18:43] charjt: which was really stupid, given that Rolly "touched" first

CHY -- you see it once, you just can't leave. Canada -- and Montreal, especially -- is a magical place. I don't blame the Linzes one bit for wanting to move here.

We're lenient on a few 'frat boy activities', too! lol

to clarify, the Bransens said they are no good on ice and felt like they wouldn't do good at the curling. I think they thought the rolling would be easier and they may not ahve realized that they didn't have to wear skates for the curling.

Also, on the touching thing, what Costa just posted must also be some part of the truth because the Linz brother did make a comment about feeling Rolly swing him with the backpack so I'm not sure what happened totally there. Probably some combo of all of our versions :-)

They didn't have a better view of it on the camera so I'm guessing even the cameramen don't know what happened as they were running to keep up with the guys.

This is a forum for expressing our opinions about what is happening on the show. If some feel like expressing their negative opinions about the Weavers, they are perfectly in their right to do so. Neutrality of posts is irrelevant. Any and all opinions are open for discussion.

The running incident reminds me of the Panama baseball task. I didn't think the Linzes were being mean to Rolly with the "swing batta batta" remark but his mother was angry and defensive about it. I think Rolly's tougher than she thinks.

I like Rolly's comment at the Roadblock," I guess I have to do it since none of you will"

Isn't there a limit on the # of Roadblock any one team member can do this season?

Weaver family is up to the Road Block and doing the trapeze thing - Rolly is the one to do it. Rolly does it and on their way to Parc Olympique. Teams use a golf court and have to find a way into the arena using the only door that's open and then they'll get another clue.

OMG Tabs. Was that homemade toffee?? YUM!!! My fav!

I don't think there was a limit this season. At least, Phil never mentioned it.

I don't think there is a limit on roadblocks this season. Megan hasn't done many, either. Probably they didn't put a limit because they weren't sure how far the teams with little kids were going to go. I do like the limit in the regular editions of the race.

Alex is doing the trapeze for the Linz family. Bransens just showed up to the sphere. Weavers are searching for the available entrance. It's a huge arena.

According to my "almost teammate had they picked *us* instead of RobAndAmber"... no, they have not said anything about a limit on how many times a teammate can do a roadblock. :-)

Bransens have 2 of 4 logs now.

Weavers thanking heaven for Ted. Grateful to have him.

Linz family asks for directions and there is the pavilion right there.

Bransens get 2 and 3 and finally finish their task and off and running. Their driver knows where the pavilion is. They joke about trying things they never do and that they do curling all the time (but don't).

Weavers arrive at the door now. ROADBLOCK. Flying Trapeze, must learn and successfully complete a manuever known as the catch on the trapeze.

Rolly is going to do it. Instructor telling him what to do now. Mother telling the sisters to pray for him.

Linz family arrives and thinks it is sweet, a big golf ball. They get clue and are back to the driver. He says he knows where Dickenson street is and is off again.

Bransens saying it isn't over yet and they'll be back in it.

Back with the Weavers, Rolly is climbing the ladder and attempting the manuever now. He does it and they all clap. They get clue: Make their way to Parc Olympique and look for Stat Olympique. Must look for the one door they can drive through and get clue at center field. Off they go and driver knows where to go. Mother says that Rolly is so weird that he can do anything he tries...

Linz family. Meg and one of the brothers wants to do it. Alex gets to do it. They joke that he is a fatty and tell him to think light. They joke that they want to be up there with the two broads...a gain repeat that he's a fat ass and to think light. Alex trying it several times but having trouble.

Bransens arrive at Pavilion and get clue. Their Dad having some difficulty keeping up. Off they go again. Get in taxi and are on their way.

Weavers arriving at the stadium now. Get in their golf cart and are off looking for the door. Don't find it and looking again. Mother noting that this is taking a lot of time.

Alex climbing back up again and joking with the girls at the top. Meg says that Alex is twice the size as the man catching him. Alex falls again as the Bransens get their clue. Bransens arrviving and happ to have caught up. Meg tells Alex not to lose focus.

Karen, yeah, I know all about Canada!
I have an aunt(and her whole family) on mother's side in Edmonton(sp?). When my folks come visit us in the Summer from Taiwan, we usually meet up by the Fall and they will play in casinos. We are a bit tired of that rutine. My mom refuse to see the frozen fall though. Old bones and too used to the sub-tropical thing.

Grr. They should have let Megan do it. She is clearly the lightest one for a task like that!
