No one's gonna beat the Linz family! And I, for one, thank God. Thank you God for abandoning the Weaver family in their hour of need. And thank you, Amazing Race producers, for editing out any footage you may have had of the Weaver family trying to do the final geography puzzle. Since the family thought that Lake Pontchartrain was one of the Great Lakes, I can't imagine how long it actually took them to differentiate between, say, Kansas & Colorado.
For the finale, teams left Montana's Big Sky Country and headed for the spiritual home of hockey, Montreal, where the Weavers got a huge assist from their cabbie Ted. Taking the Weavers by the hand, Ted guided them through Montreal's underground city, a hockey rink, part of the World Expo and the Stade Olympique. But even with all that help, it wasn't enough for the team to get the lead. Instead, they fell victim to Killer Fatigue and nearly quit the race when they couldn't easily find a clue hidden behind a seat in the 50,000 plus seat stadium. Oh boo frickin' hoo. Besides the Weavers finishing third and getting the "oh, you're here too" edit on the finish mat, highlights of the evening included:
- Megan Linz balling at the finish line. She was one tough cookie throughout the race.
- The Niagra Falls whirlpool was very cool, although I was sorta hoping the roadblock would involve going over the Falls in a barrel
- Megan's inability to pronounce the word "stade". Note to Megan: there's no "N" in "stade"
- There's a shoe museum? Really!?!?
- Planes, cabs and people speaking different languages! For awhile there it was almost like the real Race was back
- The final roadblock and race to the finish was fantastic. To be honest, I was pacing around for most of the episode, but that was actually just because I was afraid the Weavers might win. Then, when they were safely in third, it came down to Wally Bransen and Nick Linz (a little wet ;-). Before they made the final run to Phil, they had to put together a jigsaw puzzle consisting of all the countries, states and provinces in North America. Wally and Nick were neck and neck the whole way until Wally got caught up in New England and Nick pulled ahead, getting Rhode Island in place at the last second. Wow, that doesn't sound very exciting does it? Take my word for it
- And, best of all, a preview of the next Amazing Race! The preview made it perfectly clear that next time we're back to two-person teams and exotic, amazing locales and adventures. I'm already rooting for Team Nerd. I can't wait. See you in February!
