Even though the Gaghan's are my favorites for their teamwork and 'never give up' attitudes, I think they will be gone. Now that TAR has left the US and conditions are getting a bit tougher, I think the kids will become less of an asset and more of a burden.

Wow, if folks had a problem with weaver's before, tonight's episode has them at their worst. I'd be quite shocked if theirs not three pages about them when all is said and done. Weavers remind me alot of my stepmom and her side. Judgemental right winged hardcore christians. Feel for me

Now I can see why people hate the Weavers some much, well the mom anyway. I like when she said something like, "we are above all of them, we are christians". Jeeze! BTW, I hope the team with the little kids does not get eliminated tonight. They seem really nice.

Have to admit, I teared up a bit at the Gaghan's daughter crying there. 
I was watching the episode with my dad, and actually pointed out every time the Gaghan dad did something cool that my dad never would have. I'm such a bastard.
Finally a team everyone really and truly hates--the Weavers, or just "Florida" as they're known.

If I were any of the another teams, I wouldn't have yielded the Weavers. The mom may be annoying but they probably aren't the strongest team. Paolo should have yielded the Linz family since they are the strongest yet. This was guaranteed to be a elimination round so the yield would have mattered.
Sad to see the teamrugrats leave but they really telegraphed it with the Gaghan dad voiceover during the middle of the episode.

At least Carissa maintained her composure better than Stassi and Char Schroeder (and me
).

As much as I am happy that the last of the kids is gone, I felt for carissa, as she's cool. the son I don't care for.
The mom is non-descript and the dad is a rock. I can see carissa as the next child actress.
the mom got hurt in the find the coffee bean one, and those have been in the past eps where teams have really gotten screwed.

My Palao love grew even more this episode. Daddy Palao showed he was pure man tossing around those things of bananas like it was nothing. Momma Palao, who I hated the first few episodes, has shown she really has what it takes. Also touching to see her getting the hugs and kisses from her kids, which you can tell is worth more than a million to her.
And then there are The Weavers. They are like every other "religious" family I've ever met. God this, god that, "we won't play that way".....then 15 seconds later making fun of the Palao's in front of the garbage truck..making fun of how the Palao kid looks, making fun of the fake breasts of the Pink family, etc etc etc. Just imagine if CBS edited the shows to let the viewers know exactly why they all hate the Weavers and all raced to yield them. Team Romber last season wasn't even as hated as the Weavers are.

As another poster mentioned in another TAR post about that Widow family praying to God for every little thing, I agree with the poster in saying praying to God for big things (please let me Grandma get better) is great, and praying that they get to point A to point B to win is a bunch of shit! The poster worded it better than me, but I totally agree, shit is annoying. I hate this team, I sure hope they don't win. The Yield was comedy, loved it!
