Enabling---mom is an enabler!!!!

(is that right--does that make sense???)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sad to see the Paolos go. They were horrible at first, but started growing on me in the last couple of weeks. They left with a really great attitude.

I also enjoyed watching them. Now that they are gone I am hoping the Linz family wins.

Now see I'm hoping that they view the tape and realize how they were partially if not totally responsible for the behaviors they endured. I mean, one of the Pink Girls(also can't spell their name..sorry) seemed like she was really trying to be sympethic at the go carts, but the Weavers were just so rude.

That really pissed me off. She was consoling the girl, then they talk crap about her afterwards. So Christian like to say they hate people.

No idea--but I guess what I am trying to say--dad has been gone for a year...and I'm sure this experience was due to them....but that since dad is gone--the world is all against them and they are entitled to do and say whatever it is they want. Instead of really trying to move on (which I'm sure is very difficult)--they are just wallowing. Not really trying to step above. NOt really thinking of what their dad would have wanted for them. While their successes might make him proud--their behavior probably wouldn't. I can understand the not trusting other people...but that doesn't mean to be RUDE to them.

Oh and that's ...They talk "SMACK" according to the toll booth guy..a 3rd party non-observer!!!

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

When they were entering one of the parks, the Weavers told the guy at the booth that the Linz's wanted a big history lesson (to try to slow them down). When they showed the Linz's at the booth, the guy told them the other team was talking smack about them. It was pretty funny.

 

[katedrew94]

The Weavers just get under my skin! I can't stand all the hypocrisy. It's really too much. They spend ALL of their time trash talking and plotting against the other teams and at the mat they talk about living a "Christian" life??!! Puhleeeez!

I would like the Linz family or the Bransens to win. I just like the fact that they get along and actually seem to like each other and work well together.

ooohhh--the toll guy ratted them out.

Oh and what's with the Weaver girls dressing so trashy?

My sentiments exactly!

Can't say I was sorry to see the Paleo's go... not when it was between them and the Bransons (Dad w/ 3 daughters). They did a good job editing that part... I was really on the edge of my seat!

It's the new thing. Christians can where whatever they want as long as they are Christian.

That gives me the warm fuzzies as it does when parents let their kids dress inappropriately for church.

NOT!

God gave the goods--it doesn't mean to flaunt it 24/7. Leave a little to the imagination.

I'm a bit sick of the thick black eyeliner myself. Teens can wear makeup--but good grief...why so much of just that one thing? Last I checked--the raccoon look is not so hot.

maybe it is late, but those lines just cracked me up tonight!

LOL!! I loved that the toll guy ratted out the Weavers!!
Seems like they are only "Christian" when it's convenient for them @@.

 

[Free4Life11]

Good episode! Lots of different locations, so that was nice.

They need to make a Papa Paolo doll -- you pull the string and he says in a really obnoxious voice "SON OF A B!"

The Weaver boy seems fine, but those girls need to stop feeling sorry for themsevles and start acting more mature! I do think the mom ignores a lot of it. I FINALLY realized today that they gave all the families TV names! It just hit me. Very creative. I hadn't heard the Cleavers before. Oh yeah the girls speech at the end was annoying, I think the race is getting to her.

Those sisters are awful. Constantly arguing and it's just annoying. The one sister is always nitpicking.

I really don't think I could do this show with my family. It would not be pretty...LOL!

 

[chris1gill]

Well, I have to agree when someone said they couldn't believe they were saying it, but they were sorry to see the Paolo's go... I was getting used to them & they were actually working together the last few shows.... They should be on CBS this morning.

That rant at the end by the Weaver girl was over the top... Poor Phil, he didn't look like he knew what to say

Yea! we wouldn't talk bad about anyone would we, especially not on a message board the whole freakin' world can read!

I feel better now.

 

[Strawberry Lemonade]

The Weavers think they're classy? Hoochie shorts, throwing trash out the window of a moving vehicle (AT another vehicle), snotty comments made behind people's backs... REAL CLASS THERE!

They don't hate you because you're different. It's because you are nasty people.

 

[Kimberle]

What a good show!

How on earth did the rescue swimmers hear Papa? There have been some dangerous swimming tasks on other AR's, (like the under the ice swim), so it's nice to know that they were being watched by professionals. It was nice too, that the son carried the Dad's backpack. Glad he stepped up to the plate.

The Weavers were so nasty. The pink lady was trying to console them and they just talked "smack" about her. Plus the food throwing, name calling, etc. Sorry, "nice" families don't do that.

I did not like the Palo's at first. But they really grew on me. Especially the Dad. I was sorry to see them go. At least they got some prizes (the trip and 4 scooter things).

I hope the Weavers go next. I'm afraid it will be the Father/daughters.....
