Good evening, everyone, and welcome back after a week's hiatus. My local affiliate is televising college basketball tonight so I won't see TAR until, well until I have time to watch what I record at 2:30 am tonight.

But I'll be checking here. Have fun and don't leave out any grisly detail.

WTF. My local affiliate is showing TAR at it's usual time when there is basketball going on.

That is just wrong.

I was really surprised that the Weavers actually liked Bart. That's the first thing they've liked (that isn't them) in weeks!

I saved some time by making sure I was depressed going in. If it's elimination, it'll be the Bransens and that'll mean a Weaver presence in the final three. If it's non-elimination, it's the Weavers and I'll have to watch Linda pasting Bible pages all over her body and calling it clothing.

She'll probably lick them first.

It's against Mama Weavers beliefs to be treated rudely (is that what I heard??).

Weavers leave 20 minutes behind the lead two teams, Bransens another 20 minutes behind them.

Weird -- usually if there's a production problem, the team gets a time credit. No help on the departure time, so if it shows up, it'll be at the mat.

I have a vague memory that there was some discussion that there seemed to be a lot of Nonelimination legs on this season. Pure speculation, but this camera crew error makes me wonder if this leg was supposed to be elimination was made NEL when this happened. We'll likely never know though. We'll see if this actually is a NEL in a little while.

J Slice -

Just between you and me, but shhhhh . . . I've been rooting for the Weavers for about three weeks now . . . not because I particularly like them (I'm actually rather ambivalent), but because I want to see the boards consumed by utter anarchy after they win. I've been making the appropriate sacrifices to Beelzebub to make it happen - and my plan is working so far. Hehehe . . .

Have a happy holiday and I'll see you at finale time.

Too bad they're either in last for a NE or they're eliminated.

For Rolly's sake, yes. And I really don't mind their Us vs. Them attitude, that's actually a healthy thing in a competition. What I do find irritating is they take everything so personally and their sense of entitled superiority to everyone else. And that was some gorgeous country they passed through tonight, I don't know why they can't appreciate the grandeur of God's fine work.

The Linzes ARE shallow. They're also college kids, so being shallow makes them no different from at least 95% of their peers

I'll have to take exception on the hypocritical and heartless claims though. I haven't seen any of that yet...plus, the Weavers *WERE* in last place when they got to the Yield mat, so Yielding them was the right decision.

Quite frankly, you just sound bitter

Kinda surprised lots of people disagree with me.
Weavers made fun of people sure, and they use the name Jesus alot.

I still like them for some reason. This season has been boring for me. I really hope Kasar and Janelle are on the next one, or I might not watch it.

Actually I was a fan of Rob and Amber on the Race, but I was happy the other team won (Uchena and Joyce), because they really needed the money. Rob and Amber didn't need it. But I had fun watching Rob's sly play.
