I wonder if this is b/c CBS knows many people won't like the winner. . .Oh please don't let that be the case!

I will hope this means they just so desperately want to give the Weavers something, they let them compete from third place.

In the exclusive CBS.com bonus challenge, the second and third place winners of THE AMAZING RACE 8 will compete in a mini-race that will require teams to recall specific challenges and locations from this past season. The team who's first to complete the challenge correctly will drive away in their very own 2006 GMC Yukon XL.


Kind of a weird prize if they only give out one of these Yukons. Since all three remaining teams have more than one driver. And weird, too, since I'd bet not all four of the teammates live together on the two teams I want to win first place but obviously one will have to end up in second place! :-)

what good does a car do a family that doesn't live together as costa pointed out. i'm guessing it's chance for the weavers to get something. i hope it means they didn't win the million :-)
it's like the buick lucerne. sounds like one car for the team. how do you decide who gets it? prizes like that only work it it's a family still all living in one place.

none of them usually keep those prizes, they pay the tax and license and then sell the item.

I was thinking the same thing, Costacat and Tabbyking. You'd think CBS could give one to each team member now; there are three extra cars that weren't used on Survivor!

I have to be out Sunday night - my fourth Christmas party of the season! I hate that I have to tape the show rather than seeing it live! However, would someone please tell what time it will be coming on in the CENTRAL time zone so I can set my VCR! Thanks in advance -

My guess is that the Linz family wins for sure, and that they want to give something to one of the other great personable families.

I do wish though, that the Weavers would have won it, but alas...its the Linz family instead...boohoo...JMO

Just listened to the "Mat Chat" section and found something VERY interesting.

In talking to the Weavers (before Godlewski sisters were eliminated) when they were last but NOT eliminated, one of the daughters (darker hair) said they weren't "cutthroat" competitors. Paraphrased she says, "We aren't going to push people out of the way" to get ahead. HMMMMM....wonder how that squares up with the preview for next week?!?!

I've rewatched the preview for next week several times, freeze framing each movement on my TiVO, and the Linz boy was clearly just on his way down (like he tripped or lost his balance) before Rolly touched him. Rolly then ran into him, began going down himself and landed on top of Linz boy. There was NO PUSHING out of the way that I could see.

Lil, on the CBS website it does say that the 2 hour finale is tonight at 9pm (ET and PT) - so I wouldn't worry about Yahoo having that original airdate.....(could that have been the date for the premiere episode of this season? don't remember)

Sept 27 was when the first episode of this season aired (easy enuf to check... look at the names of the spoiler threads here! hehehe!)

Running from 9 till 11 means that I won't get a chance to watch the streaming video for who wins the car. So someone's gonna have to spoil it!!! :-)

For the first time, in eight seasons of my absolute favourite show, I didn't wake up this morning thinking, "OMG!! Tonight's the night!!"

In fact, every Tuesday this season, I haven't woken myself up with my, "Goodie, it's a race day!" dance. :-(

Did the Weavers win?
