Okay, I know I'm a little early here (2 days?), but I just checked to make sure TAR is on Tuesday, what with the holidays and all. Here is the Yahoo! TV Listing description for Tuesday's show: "A surprise ending catches the teams off guard when they arrive at the mat." Wow! What do you supposed that's all about?

Maybe it's not the pit stop. Same as last season...?

Maybe it's a tribal council and each team gets one vote to eliminate another team. I wonder who would lose. . . .

Hmmm... three guesses! And the first two don't count! <snicker>

I think Costa is right about it not being a pit stop. My second idea would be that one team receives a time penalty which makes them end up in last place, something that would be a surprise ending.

Or, it could apply to this past pit stop. Remember, the Godlewskis wound up in last place due to a production error. It's possible that they could've come in first place had that not happened.

But Costa, the production team has (at least) twelve hours at the pitstop to decide how much of a time difference there was and make adjustments accordingly. I think if it had to do with their arrival at this past pitstop, they would have adjusted their leaving time. "SURPRISE!! This is the finish line of your race around most of the country. Weaver family, you're the first to arrive." How's THAT for a surprise?? LOL. I think it's an uber-leg. They'll get to the mat just to have Phil hand them their next clue.

Actually, I think they are told about the time credit (or debit) when they arrive. They should've already calculated out how long it took 'em to get 'em a new vehicle and back in to the race.

It seems to me that a time credit due to the production problem would apply at the beginning of a leg with the G gals leaving that much earlier - I am still intrigued by the quote!

I watched last Tuesday's show and still somehow managed to miss the part about the G-Sisters' vehicle having a problem. I am totally bewildered as to the post that the Godlowskis came in last place when the Weavers were in last place after being yielded. (Well, I thought I watched the show).

The production screwup caused the Godlewskis to fall from a virtual tie for first (at the helicopter ride) to last place at the Detour. They were then able to climb to 3rd thanks to the Weavers taking the wrong route to the Roadblock.

Thanks Spear !!! (I thought I watched the whole show - LOL) So had the Weavers not taken the scenic route and gotten yielded (a lot of good that did), the G-sisters would have come in last because of the production screwup. Obviously, G-sisters are owed a time credit.

Lexie, it was a very brief statement by Phil stating that "due to a production error the Godlewski's battery was drained and although they received a new vehicle they are now in last place." Literally, took all of 15 seconds. You coulda blinked and missed it And yeah, I think they are owed a time credit. Can I say it now? Buh bye Weavers. Don't let the door hit ya on your way out. (Wishful thinking here! )

If the Godlewskis are due a time credit it will be given to them at the start of this leg of the race and might affect the other racers order, but it won't affect the Weavers because they were already in last place and it was non-elim. Something else must happen in this leg.

Personally, if you miss anything I'm just going to fill in for myself with "assume a Weaver said something objectionable here." Thanks Raen!

Salt Lake City, Utah. Ninth pit stop. Mandatory rest period. Weavers arrived last, blah, blah, blah. Linz family leave at 12:46 AM. Drive to Park City High School and find next clue. One brother knows exactly where to go. Says they passed it on the way. Sister feels sick. Has cramps. Bransen family leaves at 1:23 AM. Bransens think it is to their advantage that the other families have tension between them. 1:30 AM: Godlewskis are off. Sis thinks that she thought they'd all get along better in the race but, as we go to them in the car, they are bickering over the map. Linz family arrives and gets clue. Work as a team. Help inflate a hot air balloon and then get on board for a scenic ride over mountians? Once at balloon site. Balloons will leave once every so many minutes with one team aboard? I missed how long. 10 Minutes I think. Linz family crawls into their trailer to sleep. Bransens get to the high school now. They get in their trailer to sleep. Godlewskis arrive to get their clue and then get in their trailers. 5:02 AM - Weavers leave. Talking about how they can't believe how they are treated and say that it's not going to hold them back. They stop and ask for directions from someone. Linz sister still not feeling well. She has gotten sleep and pepto and feels much better. Weavers arriving now. They honk at the others now. Weavers asking the Linz family if they are sorry for yielding them now and Linz family says "Hell no". Families in their vans now and off to the hot balloon. Linz family getting their balloon off. and working on it now. Godlewskis family arrives now and working on their balloon. Weavers are last to arrive and working on their balloons now. Linz family is done inflating now. They hop into their balloon and off now. Bransen family gets their balloon done and they are off. THe Godlewskis are right behind them with the Weavers in last place. Linz family watch the Bransens lifting into the air quickly. Bransens getting really close to the Linz family and their balloons touch in the air. They are a little nervous and scared by how close they are. Godlewski sister isn't too wild about heights but says TAR has cured her. Linz family on their way down. THey are down and get clue. They take it and are off to their car. Drive 14 miles to Heber Valley Railway. Search grounds for next clue. Bransens land and get next clue and they are off. Linz family gets back to their trailer and are off on the road. Godlewskis see their shuttle arrive and they land and get clue. Off they go. Weavers landing on a steep hill and slipping down the hill as the pilot gives them their clue.

So the Weavers are still whining, and the <gasp> mid-air collision is not much. <sigh> Lexie, girl, we may be here a while on this couch. Maybe we can start a chant? Go Weavers Go Weavers Go Right Out of the Race... Go Weavers GO Weavers Go in Last Place! Hehehe...

Back with the Weavers still freaking out about being on the side of the hill (does look a little scary). They get clue and slid down the hill. Off they go. Linz family arrives. DETOUR. Spike it or Steam it. Spike it: use old time materials and tools to complete 20 foot section of railway. Steam it: Use buckets to fill 400 lbs of coal. Linz family going with Spike It. Phil warned this would take attention to detail. (Not related but I forgot to type that before...) Linz family working away as Bransens arrive and to do Spike It. Bransens now getting to work. Linz brothers tell their sister to just chill. Godlewskis arrive and decide to do Spike It. They get going and are bickering as they work. Weavers arrive and decide to do Steam It. THey get to work on their coal. Bransen family has a moment. One of the girls hits =another one in the head with the hammer but they move along soon after. Their father now steps in and helps with the hammering. Linz family sister helps with the bolts as her brothers work. Weavers working on their coal. Not sure how much they have now. Godlewskis having trouble and one of them (Christina) wants to consider doing the coal instead. Linz family asks for inspection and finds out they need some more work before it's ok. Weaver family working fast now as the Linz family asks again and they get their clue. Next clue: Drive in direction of Bonneville Salt Flats - 180 miles?? Not sure how many miles. Must scan salt flats for clue box. Linz family is off. One brother joking about joining up on the railroad. Bransens finish and are off in the car. Sisters agree they would have been screwed without their dad. Weavers still working on their coal - they keep saying they are almost done. Godlewskis having a little trouble as they work. Sisters bickering with Christina. Weavers finish and get their clue. They are off and move up to 3rd place. Godlewskis fighting now. All bickering with Chris and she's working on the last one. THey get it done and get clue. Now they are in the car and Chris starts to cry and says she doesn't want to talk to them and tells them to leave her alone.
