Amazing Race Family 11/22 - "How's That Face Feel?"

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! The Race is back! And I missed it so … I feel like it’s been months since we last saw an episode. I’ve almost forgotten how much I hate the Weavers and how much I miss wee Carissa and the rest of the Gaghan family.

Episode description:

From the previews, it looks like some sort of action-adventure sports challenge tonight. Is it so much to ask that Ma Weaver at least wears a hat so I don’t have to have nightmares about that hair?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I’m giving thanks for Phil this year.

I was hoping somebody would start the thread before I went to lunch. :slight_smile: I was discussing this morning with the one co-worker who’s also a TAR fan, and I realized that I cannot speak of the Weavers without using profanity. It’s always the effing Weavers, no matter how hard I try to cut them some slack.

Given the teams that are left, I really have no choice but to be rooting for Team Cute Boys and their sister, who’s probably a pretty cool person, and can hang out in the Reality Boyfriend Anteroom with Joyce from last season.

And I can’t help but wonder whose face the episode title references. It certainly sounds like something a Linz Boy would say, but I’m a self-professed awful person, and I’m kinda hoping that one of the Hot Pants effin’ Weavers gets smacked.

You won’t hear me say that until there’s another Race with teams of two ADULT players. :wink:

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed this season. It’s just…Pussy TAR. I wanna see more midnight departures, tougher tasks, more Killer Fatigue. Plus, they haven’t taken advantage of the kids as much as I hoped they would. (Hmm, that sentence sounds terribly wrong but hopefully you know what I mean…)

I experience this same phoenomenon with Bucky (effing) Dent and Aaron (effing) Boone, so you are not alone.

Agreed. BTW, I’m calling dibs on Nick Linz right now!

Let’s split the difference: One of the Linz boys says it in reference to Ma (effing) Weaver. OK?

Looks like are at the Olympic site outside of Park City, skiing into a pool??? Not my idea of a good time but the boys will dig it.

I’m rooting for big Daddy and his daughters, but I think that the Linz family will probably get the big prize. I miss that Gaghan boy so much!

I agree, it’s gotta be one of the Linz’s (Linzes? Linzs? Linz’s’es?) saying it.
I heart the Linz’s. Even Megan.

Me too. She’s a pretty cool chick. In my experience, Megans generally are. I bet she’d have some suggestions for who should join the Boyfriend Club.

Fine. I’ll take the other two. Mmmm, Linzy sandwich. On toast!
:smiley:

(I don’t even know what the ‘on toast’ part means. It just sounds silly. I’m running on too much caffeine and not enough food. Must go eat before TAR comes on.)

You were translating from the French, “en toaste”, which of course means “with champagne.”

It’s a nice thought, either way. :slight_smile:

Go Weavers! Go Weavers! Go, go, go Weavers!

No, no…GO…off my screen! Leave! Lose! Go home!

You had me scared there, for a minute.

Have. you. heard. of. Jesus? I. have. some. literature. here. if. you. are. interested. in. eternal. life…

At the end of the last episode, they showed them rapelling (sp?) down the side of a mountain/hill. One of them does the push away and goes almost upside down and her upper body went down. I didn’t catch which one it was-it was a woman.

And somoene find a nice big hoop skirt for the Camel_Toe_Weaver.

You’ll (and me!) get to see wee Carissa next week or the one after. They’ll be standing there cheering someone (Linzs?) on as they run toward the final spot.

For some reason, I’ve been convinced all day that tonight was a two-hour finale. Damn!

“It’s the Mormon State.” Oh. Dear. Og. I think it was Rachel’s gasp of “You’re kidding!!!” that made it all work. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on the effing Weavers, they give you something new to grapple with.

And if Tommy Linz’s family decides to leave him behind, he can come stay at my place. :smiley:

BZZZT. Sorry, I dibsed him weeks ago.

How odd that the Weevils were contemptuous of the volcano and the Grand Canyon but were gleeful about going up in the helicopter. I guess going up in the sky meant they were closer to Jeebus, or something. And being in a crater was like going to Hell. Where they belong. Because they are evil.

I have never seen anyone with so little self-awareness as the Weevils. They’re constantly interviewing abuot how rude everyone else is. Sweeties, if everyone else in the world responds to you in exactly the same way, maybe the problem isn’t with the rest of the world.

Yield Ahead!!! Yes!! My hatred of the Weavers has reached Katie-esque proportions.

For everyone who said Rolly was worth saving; no. He’s just as big a piece of shit as any of them.

“You all wish you were Lance Armstrong!”

Yeah Rollie, because your whole fucking family did so well on bikes yesterday. Asshole! Hate! Haaaaate!

Shirtless Nick…

What was I talking about?

They’re toying with us. No way would there be this much “we’re eliminated, we’re eliminated” palaver out of the Weevils if this were an elimination leg.
