The Weavers, they've lost it - Updated

So on the Race last night, I'm finally learning the names of people and getting a bit more into it. They took their first flights, giving airport action as they flew from DC to South Carolina. I thought it was funny when the teams all freaked out when Widower Weaver asked the airline ticket attendants about some basics of flying cuz she was freaked about flying, and everyone else assumed they were being devious.

The roadblock slowed a lot of teams down. They had to either do some mud bogging - four wheel driving through mud in a Jeep at a location 45 minutes from the clue box and the next task; or the shrimp boat task that was closer but involved snapping the heads off 200 pounds of shrimp. The mud bogging was tried by the Weavers who gave up; the Aiellos who were severely slowed down by it but got it done; and the Gaghans (team with two little kids) who got it on the first try.

The groups were divided into two busses, each leaving two hours apart (so if you finished your roadblock first, you got the first bus, etc.). I loved it when the Gaghan dad, who's so hyper-competitive sounding in earlier episodes, was leading the second bus in a made-up song of "We're all in last place!" The second bus was shown stopping at a waffle house where the eldest Weaver daughter lost it, crying in the bathroom, and the mother claimed she felt like a prisoner because they were stuck on a bus and weren't told where they were going. That resulted in them dancing in the parking lot and singing while the other teams were shown giving interviews about the Weaver family finally losing it.

The bus trip was 8 hours long, taking them to Space Camp in Alabama. They had to do that g-force thing as a roadblock and then find a shuttle for the pit stop.

The women doing the race with their Dad won the leg, with the brothers and sister from Cinci coming in second. The first place team got FREE GAS FOR LIFE from BP.

The Aiellos took too long at the clue box before the g-force thing, making them do it last, and that meant they made it to the pit stop last and were eliminated. The Aiellos were the team of the dad with his sons in law.

Who wouldn't want to win free BP gas for life!??!?!?!???!?!?

I'm sad the Aiellos are gone. I liked them a lot and they were having fun.

I'm hoping the race will pick up a bit with less people involved. Right now we're having to watch so many people, that the pace of the show is suffering. OH, and the super loud freak out sisters fight next week. ROCK ON.
