I want the Weevils to run up to the mat, and all the other teams are standing there, and there’s just _dead silence_. ---

Did they make the Weevils do the geography? I would pay cash money to see that footage. ---

Is it wrong that the Weavers’ tears nourish and uplift me? Does that make me a bad person? ---

Aww, it looks like wee Carissa Gaghan has fallen under the spell of the Linz boys, too. _Call me, Tommy!_ My husband’s a Steeler fan, he don’t know from right. I’ll make a man out of you! **w00t!** ---

[Edward G. Robinson voice[sup]\*[/sup]]Where’s your Messiah, now? Nyeh.[/EGRv] Did anyone else catch the subtitle as the Linzes were driving down to the boat ramp? “Poyfect!” And I would like to point out that I would have owned that jigsaw puzzle task at the end; freakin’ owned it. **lorene** , I still need your help to keep the Mass Dope thread from sinking out of sight.

> [@Otto](#): > > Geography quiz! The Weevils are _dead_! That was exactly–_exactly!_–what I was thinking. If there’s one thing I regret about this episode, it’s that we didn’t get to see Rebecca Weaver randomly cramming all the cutouts into the map like a colorblind bonobo. (“Mommeeeee! There’s so many!”) While sad clown music played in the background. I’d’ve paid money to see that. ---

Every time I see the winners of the show running to the final destination, I become very emotional. I can almost feel the level of physical and mental exhaustion these people must feel, then combined with their exhilaration, and I completely lose it. Last season I bawled really hard, when Uchenna and Joyce won. I don’t think that win will ever be topped for me. ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Did they make the Weevils do the geography? I would pay cash money to see that footage. I’m with you, Otto, and not because we’re both from the Mitten State! Seeing someone from that dogforsaken Weevil family try to put together a map of North America is worth cash money! Let’s demand our right to see that footage!!! Prolly the best stuff of the whole race! (Who do you think had to put the map puzzle together from that clueless bunch? Hope she/he got Lake Ponchartrain in with the rest of the Great Lakes!) ---

You know the only way the ending could have been better? Have the Weevils arrive at the puzzle first. Like, oh, an hour earlier. And they’d STILL come in third! I bet they send some production drone to tell them to quit and come on to the mat already, everyone else wants to go home.
