Speaking of the LORD...

THANK the lord that the Weavers didn't win. First of all, how many times can one family pray throughout the race AND thank the lord for the taxi driver Ted who didn't really know where he was going and in fact was praying himself. The Weavers were so incredibly annoying, and I'm not sure why this changed in family edition but why did Rolly do all the road blocks? Isn't there some rule that no one person can do more than however many. That kid did them all. And the fact that they were going to give up and not search for the clue in the stadium just proves they shouldn't have won. I mean you have a 1 in 3 chance to win a million dollars so what do you do...go to sleep. I wouldn't be surprised if some behind the scene camera man made them continue looking. Thank god they didn't win. And did you hear their b.s. when they came in third?! Of course they thanked the lord again and said it wasn't about the money it was about the lord...yeah that's what it was all about. Why were they so concerned about the other racers..THIS IS A RACE. Suck it up, you are not there to make friends. And clearly even if it came down to the wire they wouldn't have won the GEOGRAPHY puzzle. They didn't even know Pennsylvania was a state and they thought Lake Pontrachain was a great lake, I mean they were sunk on that task.

Speaking of the geography task for the first time in this whole race I was stressed out! I don't even know if I could have done that as quick (of course it was edited so it could have taken hours.)

Spoiler Alert



Then when the Linz's crossed the finish line, I was super psyched. They were my team. I loved the whole brother taking care of sister dynamic. Plus the boys were so goofy and that one was downright ridiculous but they were all so cool and fun to watch. Did you see the little blond tike hug them at the end. It was so nice to see all those familiar faces well up at the end. Of course the funniest thing is that they are all in their race garb as if they have to maintain their roles. It's like when the President does his State of the Union and calls out people in the audience and they have to be dressed in their role. The americorps volunteers always get fucked. They have to be on national television getting recognized in their sweatsuits....anyway I digress.

A lot of the stops were lame as usual on this race, but my one question is when you have to run up the stairs or down the hill or whatever just send the fastest person and get that person to run back. Why tire everyone out. There must be some sort of rule or something, b/c I just don't understand it.

Well now we have to wait until February where we return to basics. At least we'll have Scrubs to fill in starting January 3rd....
