PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I would pick curling. I was doing that since I was in grade four. Ooooooh, hit the house. Yeah, it's only 12 ft in diameter. Make it hard like hit the button or make them throw the rock around a couple of guards. I am sure I'll be laughing at them and that Sandra Schmirler will be smiling from heaven.

Toronto airport – Alex says it felt like Rolly grabbed his backpack. Ma Weaver goes to a airport person and asks for special help getting their tickets. They get tickets for a 3:00 pm flight to Montreal. Ma Weaver hopes there are no more seats available. Linz are at counter and obtain tickets on 3pm flight.Linz and Weaver on Air Canada flight, scheduled to arrive at 4:10 pm. The Northwest flight with Bransen scheduled to arrive 5:00 pm. Once they arrive in Montreal teams must travel by taxi to the train station and enter Underground City, search the maze of tunnels for passageway to the basement of CDP building. The clue will be found in the passageway. Air Canada flight arrives on time. Weavers find a taxi. Linz looking for shuttle or train, then re-read clue that tells them to find a taxi. Rolly tells the taxi driver to drive ‘rapido’. The Weavers are giving their driver directions. Linz promise their taxi driver ‘big money’ to drive faster. The Northwest flight with Bransen is running 25 minutes late. The Weavers get out of their taxi at Victoria Station and ask their taxi driver to wait for them. He promises if they will come back. Weavers are finding their way through the tunnels and find the clue. Detour: ‘Slide It’ or “Roll It’. In ‘Slide It’, travel 22 miles to McGill Arena and engage in curling. Each team member must glide stone 120 feet down the ice. Once team member gets a stone into the house or touches the house for a total of 4 will receive their clue. ‘Roll It’, teams travel 23 miles to Morgan Arboretum, use traditional lumberjack tools to roll 4 logs along 100 foot course. Once complete, a lumberjack will give them the next clue. Weavers will do ‘Slide It’, depart station and find their taxi driver who knows where the rink is. Linz arrive at train station and begin searching tunnels. They appear to run past the clue box. Bransen arrive airport at 5:25 pm. Weaver arrive at an arena, but the doors are chained. Linz are hopelessly lost in tunnels.

Bransens complete 2nd log. Weavers thanking G-d for sending them their driver, Ted. Linz ask for directions to American Pavilion. Bransen complete 3rd log, 4th log and receive clue. (The girls were actually pretty impressive, if you can trust the editing.) Weaver find industrial park and Door J and clue box. Ted the driver thanks G-d for leading him to the correct address.Roadblock: one person must learn and successfully complete a ‘catch’ on the flying trapeze. Once they’ve been caught they will receive clue. Rolly elects to do it for Weaver. Linz arrive at Pavilion and find clue box. Their driver says they know where Dickson Street is. Bransen arrive at Expo site. Rolly on trapeze, completes his catch and receives clue. Clue: travel 2 miles to Parc Olympique, where Montreal hosted 1976 Olympic games. Here, teams use golf cars to search for arena, look for one door they can drive through, clue will be at center field. Linz arrive at industrial park and find clue box. One of the Linz boys (still can’t tell them apart), Alex I think, will do it. Megan wanted to. Typical sibling teasing as they call Alex ‘fatso’. Bransen arrive American Pavilion and find clue box. Weavers arrive Parc Olympique, board their golf cart and start searching for entrance. Alex hasn’t yet been able to complete his catch. Fails on 2 tries. Bransen find industrial park and clue box. They catch up with Linz.

Did you happen to notice that middle aged woman, two out of condition girls and a young boy, who are up against 4 healthy young adults were able to keep ahead for most of the race. Mostly thanks to young Rolle who carried his family on his young shoulders.

Alex still trying to complete the catch. Finally successful and receives clue. Bransen ask if they’ve seen the Weavers. Linz race off to Parc Olympique, they remember where it is. Weavers still driving around on golf cart searching for entrance. Linz ask for directions to stadium entrance. Beth Bransen doing catch, does so on first try, apparently she participated in gymnastics in high school. Bransen got in and out pretty quick.Weavers are reenacting the golf cart scene from ‘Austin Powers’. Linz arrive Parc and see Bransen arrive. Linz on golf cart and driving. Wally sprained his toe running for golf cart, Bransen following Linz. Weavers finally find entrance to stadium and find clue box. Clue: search 56,000 seat stadium for one of three charter flight departure times leaving the next morning for a mystery destination. They do not have to keep the first time they find, but once they choose a time they must keep it. Linz and Bransen find entrance and clue box quickly. Weavers are upset the other teams have arrived. Weavers think ‘it’s unfair’ (not clear whether the task is unfair or the fact the other teams arrived). Wally’s toe is hurting him. Weavers are worried about their taxi driver, especially at $40/hour, so they leave the stadium to pay him. Linz and Bransen decide to do same. Weavers and Linz have altercation on the sidewalk. Weavers searching stadium. Megan Linz tells Bransen they are working together, it’s all good as long as Weavers don’t win. Bransen divide a section, alternate aisles, one look left or right. Linz go into the nosebleed seats to search for a clue. Weavers are sitting and resting and watching the other teams search. Linz found a clue, 5:50 AM. They decide to take that clue. Rolly trying to get his family to search for the clue and not just sit. Bransen found a clue, 5:45 AM departure time. Weavers still standing on arena floor, Ma Weaver actually sleeping on a cot. It appears the teams are sleeping in the arena overnight. The Weavers continue to talk about how stupid the task is, Rolly upset they aren’t searching.

Probably because he was exhausted, having carried his family all over the continent for weeks. When I saw his stupid sister riding on his back, I knew he couldn't go much longer. He probably felt that finding the clue was something that his siblings could do and when he saw they had given up he knew it was over. A credit to the family is that they stayed in and finished the race. Their comments and religion have nothing to do with their courage. Ed

Rolly trying to convince his team to go back and look for clue, Ma Weaver finally agrees. (I will be really p*ssed if they find an earlier flight.) They find departure time, 5:55 AM (thank you g-d). They decide to leave stadium to get to the airport early. Bransen depart for Hubert airport. Linz depart for airport. Weaver arrive at airport and check in, they ask and find out the other flights depart before their flight. Rolly does not look happy. Bransen and Linz arrive at airport. The teams are all in the waiting area, and Bransens depart on charter flight. Linz depart. They still don’t know where they are going. Weaver depart, say they can come back from this, Rolly lagging behind and looks upset.When they arrive at mystery destination teams will find next clue on marked vehicles. They arrive back in Toronto. Bransen find vehicle. Clue: drive themselves and travel 1 miles to CN Tower. Here they take elevator to uppermost observation deck, use binoculars and scan the city for location of their next clue. Linz arrive, Weaver plane lands right behind them (must have caught a tail wind). Linz read clue and one of the boys know where they need to go. Weaver stop and ask directions, and ask if they can have the store owner’s map since it’s ripped and they have no moey. Bransen arrive at CN Tower and board elevator. Linz arrive at tower. Bransen arrive at observation deck and start looking for flag and clue box. There is one set of binoculars per team. Linz arrive at observation deck. Weavers arrive at tower and board elevator. Weavers are on deck. Bransen find the clue box. Linz have it also. Linz depart observation deck before the Bransens. Both teams are on elevator together. Rolly searching the city and Ma Weaver praying.

Rolly Weaver on his way up the mast. He captures the flag but dropped it on his way down. It lands on the deck, they receive their clue, and ask directions.Linz are in the lead, Bransen behind them. Bransen hope the Weavers don’t win, they just wouldn’t be right. Ma Weaver almost takes the wrong highway ramp. Linz ask directions from a runner, he says ‘I just told your friends’. Linz first to boat ramp. They take all their gear and select a boat. Bransen arrive at boat dock and get on the boat. The teams are approaching the rapids. Linz are having a great time. Bransen, can’t tell if they’re having fun or not. Linz capture clue. Clue: have your captain take you across the border to your final destination city, Lewiston NY. Once you dock search the park for your next clue. They depart as Bransen enter the whirlpool. Bransen (in 2nd place) retrieve clue. Weavers arrive at boat ramp. Bransen boat close behind Linz. Linz arrive at boat dock and retrieve clue. Roadblock: one person uses 71 jigsaw pieces to complete map of Central and Northern America. Once Roadblock is completed, make their way to finish line. Linz arrive first and in the lead. Wally working on puzzle for Bransen, Nick for Linz. Nick apparently not sure where Oklahoma goes, he finally figures it out. Weavers are in the whirlpool, Rolly retrieves the clue. Wally is ahead on his puzzle, although it looks close. Wally has a big lead. Nick finds several quickly. (Hey, you try to make this sound exciting.) Wally is way ahead. It’s really close how, Nick only has a few, one falls out. Nick finishes first. Wally has one small state. Linz start racing for the mat. And the winner of theh first ever TAR FAMILY EDITION is ----- LINZ !!!!!

I thought it was "I can't believe he doesn't know where Oklahoma goes." Which, if he heard it, and if he didn't even recognize it as OK, could maybe have given him a bit of help. Maybe. It was a nice close finish, but the finsih wasn't so close that I think it really made any difference if it did help him.

IMHO, the puzzle was less about knowing this shape was which state, than it was about fitting the pieces in the correct places. Granted, knowing which shape was which state (jeez, try saying that three times fast) would help in placement, but ultimately it was about fitting the pieces in the correct place.

Agree, the Linzes developed into a good race team somewhere along the way, played to their strengths whenever they could, maybe even learned a thing or two. I was glad to see the Bransens finally pull it together, they gave those kids a run for the money and made it close. Great finish to a somewhat mediocre edition of TAR.

And if you lose in a sprint to the finish, you were one of the last 2 teams to arrive anyways, so you still made some errors along the way.

LAST EDITED ON 12-15-05 AT 01:31 AM (EST)"Therefore, your logic is flawed. " The sister is hardly un-athletic compared to Mrs. Weaver or Wally Branson. The Linz family did not win because they found the flag fastest (CN Tower) or they solved the puzzle fastest. They won because they excelled in the physical activities. The last leg involved sailing, climbing, and lots of running. If you are searching for flawed logic, please re-read your own post. - edited to fix a minor typo -

LAST EDITED ON 12-15-05 AT 05:42 PM (EST)“The sister is hardly un-athletic compared to Mrs. Weaver or Wally Branson.” That still doesn’t make her Jessie Owens. “The Linz family did not win because they found the flag fastest (CN Tower) or they solved the puzzle fastest. They won because they excelled in the physical activities. The last leg involved sailing, climbing, and lots of running.” The Linzes found the flag the about the same time as the Bransons; hence the shared elevator, and were able to drive (not run) to the next clue box faster than the Bransons. The sailing was not physical other than climbing the rigging on the tri-mast. No advantage to the Linzes there because the Bransons chose to do the shoe thing (which they did pretty well) and the Weavers were already behind due to there map stop (remember they were ahead of the Linzes at this point) and had Rolly do the physical part on the tri-mast. None of the running done really mattered, since the Linzes came out of the puzzle far enough ahead that the (run) to the mat didn’t decide the race. And as I and others said before, the previous eliminations were due to primarily to mental errors, not sprints to the finish and brute strength. So, my logic is NOT flawed and the force is with me. .

Searching for things is actually best done by younger eyes. Advantage Linz, but the Bransens kept up.Climbing the rigging is obviously physical. Advantage Linz. Sailing is a physical activity requiring hand/eye coordination, strength and good reactive time. Advantage Linz The Linz reached the map ahead of team Bransen. It was irrelevant. The producers might have given us a real race, instead of something stacked so heavily in the Linz' favour that any other outcome was all but impossible.

Congratulations to the Linz family for winning the Amazing Race, and congratulations to the Bransen family for not only finishing second, but winning the GMC Yukon in the mini-race. Both teams showed class and dignity on the mat, and throughout the entire race. I'm just glad the Weaser family fell flat at the end, and during the mini-race. In the words of Gene Wilder, "YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!"I am just wondering what it would have been like to see the Weasers do the geography board, with their convoluted ideas on geography? "Where does the state of Philadelphia go? Ah, Louisiana is up here, near Ontario, where the Great Lakes are"

YYYYEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAWWWWWWWW! Let's here it for the Cincinnati team, the Linzes! WHOOOOOOODEEEEYYYYYYYY! They make Cincinnati PROUD! They were truly amazing and went from barely missing elimination in the first ep all the way to WINNING! They did it with a sheer love of the adventure and they make me proud to call Cincinnati HOME! Great bunch of kids! Way to go! Great ending to a mediocre season! Thrilled to see the kids win it!!!

Has anybody noticed on IMDB that it says Alex Linz is actually Alex D. Linz, the actor? Birthdays don't match up, but interesting. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0513281/bio
