Ugh! A non-elimination round and the Weaver's get to stay I was totally psyched when the took route 92 and got so far behind! I want them knocked off and not in the F3. What's with the "poor us, no one likes us, we have never been so disliked" syndrome???? I want Daddy Wally and his 3 girls to win. They have really impressed me. I was glad the Linz's finally won a round.

They won a trip for four to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I'm glad they finally managed to come in first and win something!
I knew as soon as they showed all the other teams getting excited about getting rid of the Weavers that it would be a non-elimination leg. They are extremely obnoxious but I also feel sorry for them in an obscure way. The children are being home-schooled by their mother, who is...limited, for lack of a better word. They've recently lost their father and they don't seem to have any compassion or empathy for any other way of life but their own. The volcano was boring, the Grand Canyon was over-rated, and now they think Utah is boring and the whole state is suspect because "Mormons live here" - gasp! They always seem very unhappy, suspicious and dissatisfied. What an exhausting way to live.

I think the editing last night helped to bring out the Weaver's "bad side" a little more: Rolly's heckling of the bikers as they drove by; however, he is just a kid.
The Linsz family is beginning to grow on me a lot. Yeah, they're the typical frat boys, but they're having LOADS of fun along the way!
Based on last night's show, I have a feeling that the Weavers are going to make a power showing in the final rounds. Why? Because they were all set to be eliminated last night and they had totally given up. Phil gave them a "pep talk" and in their final comments they indicated they have a new will to win - that's some turn around!! There were also some subtle comments about how anything can happen and others have gone from last to first. I think the producers may be setting the viewers up for a big twist where the Weavers are concerned!
I've always loved AR (every season), it's difficult to follow in the early episodes when there are so many contenders, but when these final stages come around, the fun really begins!!!
Anybody know when the final episode airs??

I think ol' Phil was glad to see the Linzes finally win a leg. I liked the way he yanked their chain by starting out, "And there will be no prize."
As for the Weavers, sure, *I* might've stopped along the way for some chow at Micky D's if I felt I was about to get eliminated, but I doubt I would've been strolling out to the clue box while still sucking down a cheeseburger. I mean, it just looks bad. Admittedly, I am pretty chunkular, but there's no reason to show America how I got that way, and it's also disrespectful to the show. They are totally the sour grapes team, all "We're losing? Fine, we didn't want to be on this crummy Race anyway."

I'm afraid that might be the way the Weavers solve a lot of their problems. "Friends? We don't need friends; they'll just be mean to you someday. Dates? We don't need dates; the opposite sex is evil. Garbage men? We don't need garbage men and their stinky trucks. All of our garbage smells sweet and is good for the earth."
I hated their comment about being the only nice family left and whoever wins will spend the money on nose jobs and new boobs.

Yes, because it "revigorates and injuvenates", as Ma Weaver would have it.
