Weaver's should be disqualified if they do not complete the task.

Well I'm good with the outcome, as long as it wasn't the Weavers.
And atleast there was any screwjob with the airlines like when they turned the plane back to let Uchenna and Joyce on (although I liked them too).

And the WEAVERS LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus!

Anyone care to bet on the number of hours it took the Weavers to complete the geography puzzle? These are the people that didn't know Pennsylvania was a state and thought that Lake Pontchartrain was a Great Lake.

I just think it's suspicious they never once showed a clip of them trying to do it. I bet it was too embarrassing to show.

I never used one in all my years curling and I've never seen anyone wear one while curling 'till tonight. Curling isn't known for being anywhere close to healthy, it's pretty much a rule you have to be smoking or drinking while you're out on the ice.

I know! I feel cheated that they didn't show it.

I'm guessing they either had a crew member tell them to continue to the end or they may have even gone to the trouble to make a different clue for the road block that just said continue to the finish line.

I'm sure they got one of those "head straight to the pit-stop" clues that teams get when they are way behind. I doubt all those families that hate the Weavers wanted to wait hours for Linda to complete a geography puzzle and then have to give them a half-asses round of applause.


I thought it was great that they finally added some kind of challenge that teams need to complete before racing to the finish line.

Well a decent ending to an otherwise horrible season. More than happy with the outcome since the Weavers didn't win...then to make it all the better they lost the car challenge. Have to admit though, I had this sinking feeling in my stomach they were going to get out to a lead they wouldn't lose there for the first hour.

Looking forward to TAR9. I loved how Phil emphasized it will be teams of TWO. It was sort of like he was letting the fans know next season wasn't going to suck.

Yay, curling! My favorite Winter Olympic sport. I'd like to play it some day, instead of just watching.

Those jet boats looked awesome.

Well, I'm looking forward to next season. It looks much more exciting that this one.

Dammit, I missed the promo for next season. When does it start, and where can I see pictures of the hotties?

I really wanted the Bransens to win. Not a big fan of the Linz family. I don't feel the hate for the Weavers that most others do, but I didn't want them to win either.
