Thanks, Stopjust. Another board member in Binghamton. You should add your name to the "Where are you from" thread.

That we do, Twink, but I think it's totally unfair that Buffalo is no longer the "snow capital" of western NY like it once was. There was a time we never would have dreamed we'd beat your snow totals. I'd be glad for ya'll to have your record back. LOL

I like the Gaghan family. I do not think they act like they deserve to win. Their strategy right now is to not lose, to stay ahead of at least one team. Sure, they want to win and they act like they want to win. They all want to win. I think they do a great job of competing as a team and as a family.

I agree Happy. They are happy to just stay in the race and give themselves a chance to be there at the end. They know if they keep up the job of staying ahead of at least one team, they'll be fine - and there's the likelihood that they will continue to get bunched up in some way, so there's not a big worry to get that far behind #1.

I was thinking about all the dislike of the Weavers and there has been a few times I've noticed the whining/pouting by Rachael. We all know there is nothing more annoying than a sullen teen-age girl and I wonder is this is why the dislike. I adore my 14 year old granddaughter but let her get tired or stressed out and she is miserable company. It comes with the territory!

I'm with Happy and Stop on this one. I really do like the Gaghan family (as well as the brothers/sister team and the father/daughters team). I think the reason I like the Gaghan family is they are not obsessed with coming in first place each week - they are happy beating ONE team to the pit stop. I absolutely love the way the Gaghan parents interact and treat their children. They heap nothing but praise on their children - there is absolutely no screaming or bitching at the kids. The ironic thing - when I saw their profile prior the season - I thought this team would be the most annoying with whiney young kids. Was I ever WRONG about that one!!! These kids can't wait to do roadblocks and detours. Leave it to the adults on the other teams to whine and complain. I will be happy if either of these families win the money.

Why was the boy saying that he couldn't do a bungee jump? Every season all the contestants have been required to do that. He should have been expecting it.

I agree Vs... A friend of mine applied a few seasons ago. And we'd already decided she would do the eating bits and I'd do the height bits. I won't eat meat and she is terrified of heights. But we both agreed that we'd do whatever needed to be done. (Well, except for the beef part with me.)

Yeah, I've watched and told my DD that not only could I not do the heights but I also couldn't do most of the eating things because of GI problems. That rules me out of this show! I was impressed with the mom being so brave about it and coaxing the son to go. It showed a different side of both of them.
