that mom took too long to find the bean... they should've let the annoying little kid look for it.

That task seemed tailor-made for the kids--finding a red bean is an easy task for kids, because kids are usually determined to find stuff like that; why else do they have all those Where's Waldo books?

If the Gaghans let Billy or Carissa do that task, they might've gone way ahead of the Weavers. I'm really sorry to see them go...now I'll go root for the Paolos or Bransens.

It felt saddening to see the little girl holding back tears.

Those kids are strong. It'll be an experience they will never forget. Perhaps, when they grow up, they can join the amazing race as brother and sister.

And the Paolo's are really bringing on the heat...they are very determined...they seem to get better as the race goes on.

There's a HIGHLY reliable internet rumor that .... (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

The Linzes won it.

...It's just a rumor, right?...

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #63 on:** Nov 03, 2005 at 04:37 PM »

For now, yes. But this is from the same source that leaked the info of the Uchenna/Joyce victory last season.

One of these days, the Gaghan kids are going to become Presidents, cure Cancer, and solve world hunger.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #65 on:** Nov 05, 2005 at 01:52 PM »

Some people are suggesting that Billy and Carrissa come back when they're 21 (if the show is still on the air).

the gaghans were a great family....sayang lang talaga :'(

anyways, the Paulos are not as dysfunctional as previous episodes.....probably because DJ and his mom bonded over the bunjee jumping

Sheesh... looks like I'm the only one happy about the Gaghan's elimination. I liked the majority of their team, but that singing boy was just too annoying that he far outweighed my love for the sweet little girl and the cool parents.

I always root for the dysfunctional entertaining ones anyway, so...

Go Paolos!

dorian_gray · « **Reply #68 on:** Nov 06, 2005 at 01:38 AM »

Yes, I love the Gaghans, too, especially that little girl. I cannot help but cry with her upon seeing her sad little face.

But DJ is still as hyper as ever. (Somebody tell him to chill for a while...)
I wonder how the Weavers are going to get even with the Paolos for yielding them, if it's in their nature to get even.

Just an Advanced Warning: this week's installment of The Amazing Race runs for TWO HOURS, so set your VCRs/DVRs accordingly.

No wonder AXN announced that the next Amazing Race episode will start at 8pm Wednesday... guess they can't afford to pre-empt CSI:Miami, huh? Thanks Mr. Hankey!!!

No TAR the following week (Nov 15, 16 here) CBS is giving way to the Country Music Awards or something like that.

They'll probably call on Jesus to smite them down.

Have not seen all the episodes consistently but i really like the Weavers... how come all the other teams seem to loathe them... am i missing something?

I like the Paolos too. The mom is a trooper. Nung first episode, grabe super dysfunctional nga sila... not so ngayon slight lang.

Klaus Weasley · « **Reply #75 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 11:34 PM »

Well, according to an interview with Papa Gaghan, that during the leg where the Weavers won, they isolated themselves. This caused the teams to not trust them. It doesn't help that they have exhibited strange behavior like dancing around in the Waffle Place (just before the space camp roadblack) and complaining loudly on the bus like they're "inaaapi" and the constant snubbing and mistrust that the mother has treated the other teams.

It also doesn't help that they think of themselves as "Christian" yet make fun of other people behind their back and being in general very self-righteous and hypocritical.

This time, I'm for the Weaver Family... I just don't know why... maybe has something to do with the mom...

I hope they win...

i just dont know why.

Are you people watching the same show I am?

The Weavers threw GARBAGE at the other team's van all the while saying how proud they are to be Christian. When one of the Godlewski sisters came over and tried to comfort them during the go-kart roadblock, they badmouthed them immediately afterwards and complained how "fake" they are and how they "lie". Yet they still whine to Phil how they're being persecuted because they're "Christian".

yes.

i dont religiously watch the show. it just so happens that when i watch TAR all i get to see is the weaver family sobbing and crying their eyes out. Madaling mahulog and puso ko eh. That's just me.

don't forget, they also insulted the paolos' pictures when they were yielded. i tried to like this team, but they are just too weird, and i have an instant aversion to racers who constantly call out loud on jesus to help them.

with the paolos out, it's hard to root for the remaining teams, but i'd like the bransens to win. the linzes are rather meh, and the godlewskis shriek too much--very annoying.

xeqtionr · « **Reply #81 on:** Nov 13, 2005 at 10:50 AM »

Close Call!!!

The Godlewskis beat the Linzes dahil masyadong mabigat ang mga... three Linz brothers. Nagkukumahog ang kanilang motorboat sa pag-usad.

Interesting facts:
Godlewskis: Team #1 3 times, Last team in the Pack once (not eliminated)
Paolos: Team #2 twice, Last Team in the Pack (ELIMINATED)

this week's show is preempted by a special... that's why we had a 2-hour TAR last week.

I guess they'd like to keep the suspense factor up. Season 8 is drawing to a close, with only 4 teams remaining.

JanMike · « **Reply #86 on:** Nov 24, 2005 at 12:24 PM »

What happened at the race last night? I fell asleep. Who got eliminated (if there is)?

ßartmaniac · « **Reply #87 on:** Nov 24, 2005 at 12:29 PM »

A family got Yielded but no one's eliminated.

I'm sure Utah folks and the Mormons were angered by the behavior of one family (YES, THEM!) in this episode!

Super boring talaga ang season na ito dahil hindi sila pinalabas ng American continent.

I agree. What keeps me watching is the 2 teams I hedged my bet on are still in the race. The Linzes and the Bransens.
