Too bad there was no "attention to detail" requirement in those crappy wagon wheels the Weavers painted and the (Bransens, was it?) overpainted.

Back on the Godlewskis and Chris not wanting to talk to the others. She tells us she doesn't feel she deserves the way they were treating her.

Linz family arrives and gets their next clue. Make their way somewhere and find something? Not sure what...

Bransens arrive and get clue and are off. Weavers arrive nwo and get clue.

Oh must go 400 miles to find a park. I missed what it's called (sorry!).

Bransens arrive first. They will be departing first at 8:30 AM.

Weavers arrive second. They will be leaving at 8:45 AM. Weavers asking for people for some money now.

Godlewskis arrive next and will be leaving at 9:00AM.

Meanwhile, Phil gives us the Production problem thing again for the Linz family and they are the last to arrive and they will be leaving at 9:15 AM. (What is up with these battery problems?!)

Bransen family leaving. Must travel 137 miles to Wyoming and a ranch. Dunham maybe? Something weird with the Bransen sisters laughing as their father looks at a map? I missed what it was about.

Weavers and Godlewskis leave with the Linz family next. Linz brother says it doesn't matter who they get in front of as long as they get in front of someone.

Bransens arrive at the ranch. ROADBLOCK. Phil explains family edition might have roadblocks using two people. Must herd two head of cattle? I kinda missed how much they have to move down the field. Two of the Bransen sisters doing it. They are asking for best method to do it. Ranch hand explains it to them.

Weavers arrive now. Beth and Lauren doing it for Bransens and they are off with their herd now. Bransens finish as Weavers arrive. Must go to Yellowstone National Park and find Old Faithful. After they've watched an eruption, they will get the next clue.

Weavers doing it now...not sure who is doing it. The two sisters are doing it. Mother saying something about them going to be in a cattle contest but weren't able to do it?

Godlewskis driving up now... oh they pass the road and they get out and are directing her in turning the trailer around. Having trouble on the road. Linz family driving up now, looking for the road.

Godlewskis stuck on the road and having trouble turning around.

Back with the Godlewskis trying to turn around. A car is coming up the road and they ask the guy to help them back up their car and turn it around. He gets in and does it quickly. Godlewskis finally pulling up to the ranch as the Bransens are leaving.

Rebecca and Rachel are working on herding their cattle. They get them all through their flags and get the clue. Off they go to get back to the car.

Godlewskis arrive and reading clue now. Sharon and Michele are doing it. Michele having trouble with her horse now. Linz family and Weavers passing on the road. Weavers tell the Linz family they are supposed to yield for oncoming traffic and Linz brother apologizes but as they pull away they make fun of her saying it.

Godlewskis finally get their cattle through the flags and are off. Linz family arriving and two of the brothers...not sure who are doing it. Godlewksis run pass them as they head off.

Tommy and Alex are doing it. Off they go and working on their cattle. They get it done and are off again. They realize they need to get moving.

Yellowstone. Bransens arrive and waiting at Old Faithful. Guy tells them it's supposed to go off at 4:28. They are frustrated and hope it goes off soon. Weavers arriving now and get map of the park to find Old Faithful. Weavers catch up and realize they have to wait too.

Weavers are happy to realize they lucked out. Godlewskis arriving now. Find out it goes off every 92 minutes. Linz family right behind them. They are pulling into the parking lot. Godlewskis and Linz family driving to parking lot as it goes off....

Bransens and Weavers get their clue and get moving. I'm not sure what it said... something about finding a cabin? Weavers following the Bransens now.

Bransens direct the Godlewskis on which way to go. Godlewskis waiting now. It won't go off again until 6:02. Linz family arrives and joins the Godlewskis waiting. They wait and wait and nwait... and off it goes. They both get their clue and are off.

Ranch at 15200? Search for Phil. Linz brothers pick up on the fact that it does not say pit stop and think that is weird.

Bransens and Weavers right together as they look for the ranch.

They all see Phil, sitting on a fence and off they race towards him. Phil steps down to look for them. Phil calls the Weavers in with the Bransens and tells them they are still racing and he has their next clue.

They exclaim about this and say, "What the heck?! How long is this leg going to go on?!"

And we end with... TO BE CONTINUED.

See? The Weavers moan about how they are treated, yet they become confrontational at the first chance they get? What happened to "do unto others..."?

I have to agree on the battery thing. It doesn't seem fair that they get bumped to last place for something that is completely out of their hands. The Linz family went from first to last because of this and they had a pretty good lead so that sucks.

Also, I have to say I hate it when we have a non-elim and all their money gets taken away but it doesn't matter because they don't need money for anything anyway. What's the point of taking away their money if that isn't going to affect their racing the next time?

Next time: Christine Godlewskis shoulders her sisters (looks like she is lifting them?) and the Weavers get in trouble with the law (getting pulled over for something).

The battery thing is fishy -- So the camera crew used up their battery? Why is it that the other camera crews have got their heads screwed on and AREN'T using the car battery from the other teams? Seems very peculiar to me.

I'm not into conspiracy theories with the producers but...

The Weavers get yielded
The Weavers come in last on a non-elim leg
The Weavers give up all their cash
The Weavers don't need any cash on the next leg

WTH?

I am so confused about the need for money. I wasn't able to pay 100% attention tonight but it did not look like the Weavers had to ask for money from anyways for quite a while. Don't the teams usually try to get $$ right away?

Also I think the Godlewski sisters are really nasty to Chris--even if she is a pain...

I never remember that happening on other seasons. Really, I mean if the teams cheat or mess up or whatever, they get penalties, but if something happens that is so not their fault, they still have to pay for it? That's kind of messed up.

I agree with other posters confused about the production errors; they caused both teams to lose their places. How is that fair? However, give credit to the teams for not complaining; can you imagine what we would have heard if it had been the Weavers?

I hate it when, on a leg where there is a huge time difference from first to last, there is an equalizer. The Weavers were FOUR HOURS behind the first place team. They had QUIT TRYING, and yet were able to catch up with no problem, and in fact take the lead over a team b/c of a production error. This is almost as maddening as watching the "Friendship" win on BB!

What was the comment the younger Linz brother made to Nick? Nick had said something about only needing three hits to put the spike in? The other brother laughed, but I missed it.

And again, was it one of the Weavers who complained "How long is this leg going to last?" Ack, leave the race if you hate it so much.

Is next week the finale? Oh please let the Linz family (or the Bransen family. . .or the Godlewski family) win this thing!

This is BS! I'm currently watching the show and the Linz are in 4th place due to a production error. What is up with this production crew? Did they use all interns or something?

This is the 2nd time there was a production error - for a team that was in the lead - and TAR didn't make any time adjustments?! (if it was a team that was in last place anyway, I could possibly see them not bothering) That is SO unfair!
Has this ever happened before? In watching the repeats on the Game Network, I saw them give a time credit for a production error.

I'm very disappointed! It almost seems like the show is being skewed. Hmmmmm.... I wonder who will win? faf

Is this something with CBS??

Out of all the teams I am almost finding myself root for the Bransens. I don't care for the sisterly "love" I see in the Godlewski family; some dynamics that aren't very pleasant! The Linz sibs need to grow up! Although I don't hate the Weavers I don't find them the most pleasant out of the group. I guess that leaves the Bransens, who I don't get too excited about either, but at least they seem to respect each other and encourage each other.

Julieboo, I so agree with you about the way the G sisters treat Chris. It seems there is always conflict between her and Michelle (?) I think Michelle is the one with shorter hair and she is just plain nasty to Chris. I loved her horse acting up tonight and wished it had taken her right into the tree, lol. I sure hope she watches herself when she gets home. She's a very angry and snotty woman. Her comments say a lot more about her than Christine. When Chris said she had an upset stomach, Michelle quips "How convenient" and yet I see Chris always doing the work. It's like they use her and don't respect her at all.

Like the rest of you, I too am completely confused about production draining the car batteries of the contestants. Why don't they use their own batteries and have extra cars with them or something. Aren't they supposed to correct the time before the next leg..or..I thought last year they corrected the placement at the pit stop, ie., adding back time lost to production. That way, everyone started off in the right position. What are they doing this year?
