Weavers
they jsut don't have the urge to win anymore.....
they almost seemed bummed to not be eliminated last week....
only thing keeping them going would be to spite the other teams.

I voted, again, for the Weavers. They're done mentally, and just don't have what it takes to continue. They genuinely looked disappointed last week when they found out it was non-elim. Besides, they don't like Utah.

I'm guessing that somehow the weavers make the final 3, so my vote is bransens, as I think linz and godless sisters are a shoo-in

How come I have a feeling that they will keep doing TO BE CONTINUED's until the Weavers come in last, THEN it will be a pit stop

Can someone explain to me how a screwup by the camera crew is allowed to interfere with the race? I have only watched the past 2 seasons, so I am not completely up to date on all the rules, etc. Why should they not be allowed back in place since they "have" to utilize the camera crew? If they did not have a crew, they would not have had a battery issue this week, or last week for that matter. Why should the teams suffer?
And a second question: Wasnt there only 2 non-elimination legs last season? Why did they throw the 3rd non-elim leg in this time...conveniently when the Weavers came in last?

I haven't watched this episode yet, I'm stuck at work all night. Where did they go this week. Apparently they came through my city, and spent a couple weeks here working on it, but I never heard a peep about it. My mom read about it in the local paper recently.

Anyways, non-eliminations are predetermined in advance. There is no way they could drop in a non-elimination to favor one team. The placement of the yield next to the roadblock and so close to the pitstop usually indicates a non-elimination round i.e.

anyway, I see the editing and (my guess of) the likely winner doesn't make me too excited.

Just when you thought that this season couldn't possibly suck any harder. Too much driving, too much bunching, boring tasks (go up in a hot air balloon and.....come back down, wait around to watch Old Faithful erupt and leave). Even the animal task, which is usually comedy gold on this show ("My ox is broken") was dull and uneventful. The only good thing about the to be continued is that the Linz family, who were in danger of finishing last, are still in the race. Unfortunately, we also get another week of the Weavers
Nope, two more episodes to go.
In the past, teams have gotten time credits for production-caused delays (camera breaks down, change camera batteries, etc). Supposedly, this happens a lot during the race, so we only hear about time credits being given if it ends up making a difference.

Weavers suck, can't wait for them to go bye bye.
The Desperate Housewives name calling is getting really tired and stupid.
Bring on next season

TAR used to be a show I so looked forward to seeing every week. It even surpassed Survivor in that regard...but this season, so disappointing. This whole drive here, get clue, drive there, get clue, drive here and bunch up, is so boring. Then to make a bad season even worse, two production errors (both the same exact thing) causing the team in first to be in last?
Can't wait until the Emmy winning show I used to watch returns. I miss it so.
