On tonight’s amazing race, the groups traveled to Utah. After a quick trip to Monument Valley, they traveled to Moab.
On the way there, the Weaver family managed to severely tick me off by constantly trashing on some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. (At one point, they also trashed on Mormons - what a low class family. The funny thing is - this group wonders why every other team hates them.)
In the most unbalanced detour ever, they had two options:
- Rappel down 250 feet
- Bike 6 miles.
If you have to even think twice about that, you have never rappelled before. A 225 foot drop would probably take me no more than 30 seconds to rap down. A 6 mile bike ride in 30 seconds may be possible - if you bike 720 miles per hour - but it is not likely. (Biking faster than the speed of sound is not a likely possibility - unless you are Jason Graham)
After the detour, the teams traveled to Heber and talked to a bear. (How did they find that bear for the show? Strange) On the way there, the Weavel family continued trashing on Utah - this time by picking on the mountains.I think that slowly throughout the show, the Weaver family is making everyone in the country mad at them by trashing on their stomping grounds. If they haven’t trashed on areas you enjoy - don’t worry - they will.
I started laughing when I saw them take some route I’ve never heard of to try to get to Park City from Heber. They were thinking about taking 40, but they decided on some roundabout road. There was no way they could turn their car around because they were pulling a huge trailer. They will definitely be in last place because of that boneheaded mistake.
I’m still watching it - so I will update it when it is done. (this blog was brought to you by the power of the blackberry)
Update: The Weavel family was dead last, but unfortunately it was not an elimination round. In the discussion with the host, it almost sounded like they wanted to quit. I wished that they had - but they didn’t. One more week (at least) of this annoying white-trash family from Florida.

I know! I totally hate the Weaver family! I really wish that their dad’s race car was a five-seater… if you know what I mean!
