Sorry, but I was just so relieved that the Linzes won and the Weavers lost that I had to speak. Could the Weavers have been anymore obnoxious with their cab driver? Ted! Ted! Oh, Ted! I thought they might all be having sex with him. Moves courtesy of Syren   Top

I thought they were mean. I wish a team with kids had won, instead of a team with 3 adult males. 2005 PhoenixMons   Top

Cygnus X1 7505 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-14-05, 11:33 AM (EST) 2. "RE: YES!!!" Yep, so mean that they're giving half of the million to their parents. If that's mean, I don't want to be holy.   Top

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 12-14-05, 11:37 AM (EST) 4. "RE: YES!!!" Yeah, I see your point. You would have thought the show might have tried to level the playing field some for the kids involve and given them more of a chance to win. I would have loved it if the Gaghans had won. Instead, it came down to the usual demographic of twenty-something men and women. Moves courtesy of Syren   Top

Judd_blowz 7 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 12-14-05, 11:36 AM (EST) 3. "RE: YES!!!" I agree 100%! Strange that a mother who professes such Christain faith would allow her two daughters to run all over this country in what appeared to be nothing more than panties that were three sizes too small. The Weavers are not Christians, they pretend to be, but they are not. They were too vindictive and spiteful. Did they forget Jesus's teaching regarding turning the other cheek? And they really ran that whole "My dad/husband was killed at a race track" story into the ground(no pun intended). Also, the whole "Whaa Whaaa Whaaa, everyone is against us, please feel sorry for us" crap wore thin about the second time they pulled it! They seem to forget, THEY started the crap that led to bad feelings between them and the other teams. I think mama Weaver needs to break out her Bible and take a refresher course on Christian life.   Top

We got into an argument about who Ted would have sex with first... Was it just me or did he start mentioning God more after they talked about how they were Christians, too? my very own paint disaster! I finally figured out the Kim/Amber thing.   Top

edbro69 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 01-05-06, 04:12 PM (EST) 21. "RE: YES!!!" What a mean spirited tack you take. It,s so easy to cheer the linzes, 4 healthy young adults in the peak of condition. The weavers struggled with a middle aged woman, two weak daughters and a young boy. The Linzes should be ashamed that for most of the race they were beat by a 14 year boy who carried his family practically alone. A real hero in my estimation. They lost because they simply ran out of strength in the stadium. Don't question the Weavers Christianity. That right belongs to God alone. Ed Brown Verdun Montreal   Top

That >right belongs to God alone. > > >Ed Brown Verdun > > Montreal We get our mean spirited streak from watching the Weavers. Mom Weaver is not a frumpy middle aged housewidow. Didn't take her long to stop grieving her last husband and get engaged, either. Those girls would have not been so weak if they were wearing clothes that fit instead of spandex 4 sizes too small. Rolly didn't carry anyone-but he was the nicest of the four. If anyone did the work, it was the mother for leading the team-children will mind their parent and that was the advantage they had over the other teams to get them as far as they got. Of course when she is leading them to criticize others then she lost the guise of christianity.   Top

Oh come on! We're talking about the Weavers, here. Of course they could be more obnoxious! It's their specialty. Bad Wolf! by PM   Top

PagongRatEater 12996 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-15-05, 01:06 AM (EST) 9. "Good for them!" As someone has already alluded, the Linzes certainly did show their true colors after the race was over. I thought I would be unhappy with tht result but when Wally called them upstanding kids, and then Phil refers to their integrity on the Early Show AND you see what they did with their money after winning, I become more and more convinced that they aren't the total meatheads that they looked like at times. After all, if I'm willing to forgive (some) of the Weaver's behavior because they ARE teens and pre-teens, why wouldn't I let the Linz family slide on braggadocio and smack talk when they are just acting like 20 year olds do. If you missed what they did with the money - HALF of it went immediately to their parents. I'm betting that any parents of 7 children worked hard and gave up a lot for their kids, so I really admire the fact that they recognized and appreciated that. The other half was split evenly between all 7 siblings. They all wanted to participate and the kids recognized that as well. So, winning the Amazing Race added up to all of $40,000 after tax dollars. Very impressive and incredibly mature for those kids to handle it the way they did.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-15-05, 11:33 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Good for them!" Yep, they were occasionally meatheads and typical 20-somethings, but they do seem to demonstrate on a number of occasions that their hearts do seem to be in the right place. I think that is one of the issues that people have with reality TV people in general. If you can at some point let us really see the good in you (rather than just tell us all about it, I come from the Show Me state, don't just tell me how loving and giving and truthful and fair you are, let me see it) it does change the perspective one has about the people. That whole do they have that moment in time that redeems them (and we all know they love the redemption edit for a lot of the story telling on Reality shows). Now for some people the amount of redemption needed for most of the viewing public is probably more than any one human can actually do. Some things just leave such a bad taste in the mouth that it doesn't matter what you do afterward, people are still going to go yuck. Different people find different things redeeming, and that is part of the spice of talking about the people on the boards with others. 2005 Holiday Sig Shop. I've been Nutzed!   Top

bigrock 127 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 12-16-05, 09:57 PM (EST) 13. "RE: YES!!!" They are very real and salt of the earth kudos to them! I AIN'T SKEERED!?!   Top

nuke2005 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 12-17-05, 00:46 AM (EST) 14. "RE: YES!!!" I find it really appalling that so many people were so quick to be critical of the Weavers as soon as they mentioned the word GOD and made it clear they are christians. It's like people are afraid of christians. I thought this was a country that had freedom of religion...seems to me that there are an aweful lot of restrictions of that freedom. I found it very comforting that there are people in this world that are not ashamed of Christ and will stand up and say "I am a christian" and pray on national television.   Top

quiller 268 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 12-17-05, 01:02 AM (EST) 15. "RE: YES!!!" umm, I don't think it was that people didn't like them because they were Christian. I personally didn't like that they constantly SAID they were Christian and BE:HAVED in a very Unchristian manner. Throwing garbage at people, calling the Paolo boy a retard, laughing cause Mr. Paolo is a garbageman, telling the guy at Yellowstone park to slow the next team down (forget who that was). None of those things are Christian behavior. IMHO if they had behaved in a way that follows the tenets that Christ invoked, then most people would not have had a problem with them saying they were Christian. cause this is what I do when I am NOT watching SO or posting on this board.   Top

PagongRatEater 12996 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-18-05, 04:08 PM (EST) 16. "RE: YES!!!" I agree. I consider myself a strong Christian and WANTED to root for the Weavers, but their behavior did not make them great spokespeople for the ideals that they claim to represent.   Top

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 12-19-05, 11:43 AM (EST) 17. "RE: YES!!!" Yeah, I felt like the Weavers were using their Christianity as a badge of honor against the other ungodly teams so they were entitled to a certain superiority or arrogance which then made their deplorable behavior OK. Of course, that could just be my own projection. Moves courtesy of Syren   Top

Desert Jedi 20 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 12-19-05, 11:49 PM (EST) 19. "RE: YES!!!" Were you wanting to root for them "because" they were Christian? This is why I think the few that did like them supported the team to a fault. The Christian team against a bushel of hethens LOL. Even funnier when I would reason that at least 75% of the teams starting the race were Christian as well.   Top

aquariaqueen 2616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 12-21-05, 11:24 AM (EST) 20. "RE: YES!!!" It was kinda like saying "I'm a vegetarian" while gnawing on a chicken leg!!!!!!!!   Top
