You know, as much as I've enjoyed the Amazing Race in the past, this season is just killing me. So, I'm not going to do a line-by-line recap like I usually do. I'm just going to do a general recap like I do for Lost. Enjoy!
The Paolos are fair-weather family members, apparently, and the Weavers were raised to distrust all those godless heathens who didn't live in their house. Ooooookaaaaaay....
Spoon-fed buses continue the "your order doesn't matter" element of this season. Oh, joy.
Carissa looks so adorably tired, just like a little waif.
Weavers, your over-the-top godbothering is annoying. Tone it down, please.
Another. Freaking. Uberbunch. ::sigh:: I'm not even surprised any more.
Wait, so they got rid of all but one Fast Forward, but they kept the fucking Yields? God dammit!
Man, the Weavers have pissed off just about everyone. What the hell has gone on that we haven't been shown?
Interesting Roadblock. Too bad it's so completely random.
And we see more of the Weavers' endearing little personality "quirks". I think that I'm getting a better idea of how they alienated themselves so completely. I mean, even the PAOLOS are better liked by the other teams. How sad is that?
Wow. Papa Paolo is quite strong.
I would love to do the Relic option. It looks so cool.
Good Lord, but the Gaghans bled time but hard at the coffee plantation, since every other team was finished with the RB by the time they got to the Relics.
I really do love the interplay among the Gaghans. I know that I initially found them annoying, but since they've had time to show what they're really like, I'm really liking them.
The Weavers start breaking down over ever. single. thing that doesn't go exactly right for them. Can you say "Fragile", boys and girls?
God. Fucking. Damn. It.
God, watching the Gaghans, especially the kids, is killing me. Carissa looks like she's about to burst and poor Tammy obviously thinks that it's all her fault. Dammit, I didn't want them to lose.
Next week: You know what? I don't care anymore.

The Paolos: Internecine hatred raised to an art
The Weavers: Godbotherers with the Amazing Ability to grate on everyone's last nerve
The Linzes: Waaaaaay too freaking orange, plus the maturity levels of 10-year-olds
The Bransens: Wally and the Tonyas, who don't get that whole parent/child respect thing
The Godlewskis: Walking, talking Barbie dolls.
Yup, not a one I'm willing to cheer for. Except Rolly W and Brian P, maybe. They've received practically no exclusive camera-time, which probably means that they're the most functional people left on the Race. Maybe they can secede from their respective families and form their own team?

Yeah, I was just thinking they were less mature than my brother, but then I realized my 10-year-old cousin would find their behavior stupid.
The Bransens: Wally and the Tonyas, who don't get that whole parent/child respect thing
THANK you. That's what bugs me the most about them. They call their father by his name, and that's so rude.

Oh, YES. Let's do that. Brian Paolo seems to have turned out just fine and really respectable when they do talk to him, and Rolly's the most stable, normal Weaver. They should get emancipated and hang out together all the time. I'm used to hanging out with teenage boys because of my brother -- watching two teenagers Race together would almost be a comfort at this point.
