We have been watching parts of this the last 2-3 weeks; we don't like it as much as past years' races. We definitely don't like the people. We were glad the Paolo family lost; no one should talk to their mother as those boys did. Shame on the father for not stopping them. In comparison to the woman who won last time (and gained everyone's heart when she had her head shaved), they are just not nice people. Question: why do all the other teams dislike the Weaver family so much. We must have missed something in the earlier shows.

I wondered the same thing. I have to admit to only half-way watching this season because so many Tuesday nights, I am on the phone with Sonja discussing the NCIS episode that just finished. I am deaf in my right ear, so I can either talk on the phone or listen to the television.

The Weaver family profess to be Christians and do not use profanity. Not using profanity is to be admired. However, they have done things such as telling the cab drivers of other teams (in Spanish) to go slower so that they could get past them. They also tried to get the park rangers at the entrance to a park out West to delay the car behind them. As a Christian myself I have been disappointed in how they at times are playing this game. I think the other teams view them as hypocrites. Personally, I don't really care for any of the familes left in this game. I liked the family with the little children. When the challenges got to where either strength or luck was required and they were forced to go with luck, they just didn't get any breaks.

I like the team with the brothers and one sister. The boys seem to be so supportive of their sister; one gave her a "piggyback ride" when she was tired.

I had forgotten about the Weavers trying to sabatoge other teams, Kathy; I remember now.

The team with the little children were to be admired for their encouraging words to the kids.

Bumping this one back up...

don't read if you don't want to know who won!

I can't believe I watched the whole show - most of the season I just fast forwarded through to see who was eliminated. I'm happy with the outcome - either the Linz (sp?) or Branson teams would have been OK with me - just not the Weavers! I don't think the Weavers even congratulated the Linz team - and surely they didn't get any hugs from the crowd!

Looking forward to getting back to bickering couples next season.

Who won the car? Wasn't there something that we were supposed to check on a website? Marty gets mad when I stay up after 11 watching these shows
