Kep, don't they have the funniest lines in this show? My favorite was the Hanlons... Dan: I am a college Graduate and have traveled the world. Dad: You went to Europe once and that was to Amsterdam and you got wasted! I laughed so hard at that!!!

yes they do ZM...those Hanlons are something ELSE!!! I'm amazed by their thought processes. I don't think they are any less smart than the others, but its like their brains process information in a totally different way!!! They are looking at the same clues and coming up with the weirdest stuff!!! I could have sworn they were trying to find "Jefferson" in the code they were supposed to be deciphering. And they were off in so many different directions in the mine, I just shook my head...The youngster appeared to be the only one who could focus on the clues long enough to come close to anything that even remotely resembles a solution. Those brothers remind me of someone who has ADD....they are all over the place!!! I love their attitude and openness... but holy cow!!! These guys are really off the wall!!!

FORT = Friends of reality TV. I wonder if any are posting at TWOP (television without pity)? A lot of TAR post there. For TAR, racers can talk about an episode after it airs. So I would imagine that the Browns cannot say anything about being in the race right now, but can after the next episode. I was amazed that the grads pushed on with an injury that seemed so serious - they really wanted to win. Too bad they can't just pick a new teammate fromthe teams that have been eliminated, they could have picked one of the young professionals or the Browns. Somehow, I don't think that injury is quickly recoverable - I heard the word Knee and that is pretty serious. Fogels had a serious lapse in judgement - winning a few minutes lead over other teames when you are in the middle ofthe pack is foolish. Bad will in not worth the seconds they gained.

OMG the Hanlons are beyond clueless but so entertaining. It really is just dumb luck they haven't been eliminated. The Fogels are horrible, just plain horrible. I hate when people pray all the time and talk the talk but do not walk the walk. The only reason Mama Fogel was praying in the car was because she knew she was wrong! I hope they are eliminated soon. If I belonged to their congregation, after watching them on t.v., I'd leave.

I got "Folgal-ed" today when I left the treadmill to refill my water...by the time I got back, someone had taken my machine. The Fogal family evil is far reaching.

I am a huge TAR fan so I was expecting to really like this one... I agree with KEP421, the editing need some work, I can't stand to see the phone guy 3 to 4 times explaining the same clue over and over. I'll still watch because I like the Hanlons, they are just hilarious... when they picked out the rock on Mt Rushmore like it was a possible clue, I dropped from my sofa laughing. I dislike the Fogals, they make me think of the Mother/daughter/son team on the last TAR (sorry I forgot their names, I have a bad memory). I like the Air Force but they are so efficient and clean, they don't have a lot of air time right now. I'm sure it will change as the race goes on.

Can't defend the Fogal's. Maybe I just didn't get it as the Weavers were probably as bad, but I spent most of the season trying to defend them. There's no defending the Fogal's and they should be ashamed of themselves. If I were a member of their church (I mean, he is a Pastor, which means he heads a church somewhere) I would walk out. Now the Hanlons...they need to listen to the young guy more often. How can the Dad and the Brother blatently not pay attention to the clues they are handed? If you look at it upside down it might say Theodore Roosevelt!?!?! That was last week you moron.

So that clip was good! I thought it was an editing goof! Team Brown is still in it! Awesome! Hopefully...no more water challenges! Go Team Brown!

Oh, KT, I nearly cried when your guys' boat turned over in the river. I felt so sorry for poor Keith, but was so proud of him for giving it another try! Once again, what courage! I'm sure you're just as proud as you can be of your guy. Though I felt awful for the Grad Students and their injured teammate, I'm glad the Brown Guys can stay in for at least another week--hopefully more! I love this show! It's a wonderful treat in an otherwise empty summer TV wasteland. The host is no Phil Keogan, but I think they are purposely trying for him not to be. How could they hope to come even close to our Phil, so I think they are trying to go the other way and just make him a generic phone guy. This way it's about the game and the contestants and not so much about the host. I think it's a good call. There's only one Phil, after all!

Weavers vs Fogels? Fogels accepted help, made noises about working together, and then left the others in their wake - with no remorse about it (but appeared to give a prayer to keep their faith on their side). Weavers just kept to themselves pretty much. Good Christians would help and accept help, but then offer help again. This is not a sprint - this is an endurance race. Having a good ally in the beginning is a very good idea in a race like this. Burn the bridges at the end, not the beginning. 'squeek' P.S. Go Team AIRFORCE!!

I think the Weavers and the Fogals are alike in that both teams truly believe God has nothing better to do than make sure everything goes their way during the race....and for some reason God will favor them over the other teams.... ...What does Pastor Fogal's congregration think about their statements? I'm wondering what God thinks!!!

I just read Tabby Lavalamp's recap of the latest episode of Treasure Hunter's. She had me in tears. She's got quite a sense of humor, especially when it comes to the Fogals. http://realivision.blogspot.com/

Elend, We all have limitations of one kind or another. I am happy that "reality tv" such as this show has included people of all walks of life with their strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, the fastest people may not be able to solve a clue...some times, people are slow because of physical handicaps...do we only allow/permit the lean, fit, intelligent young adults compete or do we include all, from the seniors and children as in TAR to the families ??? I enjoy watching everyone struggle and work through the challenges presented.

Mary, that blog is funny! I am only 1/2 way through but this line has me rolling: Pushing their canoe along, Jessica of the Grad Students stepped into a hole (possibly dug by the Fogals) and hurt her leg badly. Not funny that Jessica was hurt, just the line about the Fogals!

Mary- Thanks for the blog!! Its soooo funny. I really liked this-The Fogals then found the clue, prompting Ma Fogal to say, "Thank you, Jesus," which in turn prompted Jesus to say, "Hey, leave me out of your shenannigans, lady!" LMAO

Zmom. I loved that line too!!! My poor son, after watching Fogels and with what happened with the shitty pastor firing teachers and closing his school he said ''I am beginning to think all pastors are evil"........ great job Fogels!!! way to promote!

I'm so glad the Browns are coming back. IMO, the Fogals only prayed because the cameras were on them. Wouldn't want to waste your time praying if no one knows about it.
