CBS
The Amazing Race Family Edition
I have to wonder why the teams needed to stop at "The world's largest office chair". What is the challenge here? Did the teams need to measure a bunch of chairs to find the largest one or locate it in a field of other large things like the world's largest kitchen chair and lawn chair? Nope, all the teams had to do was find a huge chair in a town and climb to the top. Not such a big task. It was nice to see the Gaghan girl take on the chair like it was a playground toy. I must admit I like this team. I have not heard one complaint from either of the children on this team. I wish I could say the same from some of the adult teams.
Did the Weever mom ever take geography class? When I went to school the five Great Lakes were Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior all located in the upper mid-west of the United Sates not in southern Louisiana. Obviously not, because while driving over Lake Pontchartain, she told her children it was one of the Great Lakes. Did I miss that class?
One thing I really love on reality shows is when a team claims to have some advantage over the other teams because they know the area, or better yet actually live in that area. Enter the Schroeder family. I could smell the over confidence in this team as they drove into New Orleans, there home town. How funny it was to me then when they were last to cross the mat.
I really like the Gaghan family. I would love to see them win. It will be interesting to see if the children in this family can outpace the adults. The thing is that the finish on this show often comes down to a foot race. I wonder if the spunk in these kids is enough to get them past teams with longer legs.
I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated

I've never watched the Amazing Race, so I really can't comment. Just wanted to welcome to the blogosphere!
Thanks
Hope it is as much fun as it looks
My wife loves the Amazing Race. Occasionally I'll look up from my newspaper or the computer to see where they are. I admit, I like the travelogue aspect of the show. It's especially fun when they go somewhere that I've been before.
Oh, and welcome to the blogosphere!
