EP6: "I'm Sick Of Doing Stuff I Can't Do "
gingerman28:
Gee, Chateau, even with all those shadows you may be slipping. You had the Paolos leaving at 9:45PM and they actually left at 8:22PM; the other five teams you had leaving between 11:23 and 11:55, 1:38 after the Paolos: and actually they left from 9:11 to 9:43. Your spread for the five was 32 minutes; the actual spread was 32 minutes!!! NOT BAD AT ALL, MS. CHATEAU!!! The Fast Forward for the Paolos actually only gained them a mere 49 minutes!!
And since the three buses were chartered for the 16 hour trip to San Jose, I wonder why they had them not leave until 11:30AM which made the arrival of he first bus at 3:30AM in San Jose. And then they all had to wait until the park opened at 8:00AM. Strange, but even if the buses did leave at daybreak, they wouldn't arrive until late in the evening anyway.
Chateau d If:
I suspect the teams did not leave in the standard 12 or 36 hours. Because when the Godlewskis checked in at Miraflores you get to see Phil's watch and it says 11:55. And so does the watch on the greeter. The shot of the watches was actually when he takes their money. So maybe they got there a bit before that. Everything just seams shifted by about 2 hours. I messed up with the Paolos time. No explanation but it was a bit overcast so the shadows were not crisp for them.

Wow Chateau .. checking out the watches :yaya: !!
Watching the Finish line

the Gaghans no problem with the Weavers ..they think the hate started in Virginia when the Weavers came in first and they didn't socialize with the other teams .. the Weavers just stayed in their room.
Dad Gaghan tells us that they watched the show last night with the Paolos and think that the Paolo's were hurt by the comments that the Weavers said about the garbage truck and all .
The Gaghans said the Roadblock only took then 30 to 45 minutes .
They say they were only 3 minutes behind the Weavers but the man that they picked up to guide them actually may of hurt them , he took them through the back roads to Jaco .

the Gaghans love the Paolo's ...there fighting is not an act ..it comes natural to them but they really love each other . They say that the Paolo's will be the team to beat even though you wouldn't have thought so in the beginning .
The Gaghans actually applied for the race and were surprised that there wern't more teams with chidren , also they were a little dissappointed that the teams did not race international because thats where there travel experience would have come in handy . They even studied airlines and times .
The Gaghans owe Carissa a bungee jump ..its the one thing they really wanted to do .

Grandma Gaghan calls in and tells us her fav part is when the Gaghans family sprinted by the Weavers at the mud-bog .
Al -Clown gives his weekly call :roll:
He wants to know whats up with the Weavers ..
The Gaghans said that maybe since they had small children the other teams left them out of the loop about the Weavers but they knew there were tensions between the teams .
They defend the Paolos and say that the Paolo's move to yield the Weavers was more of a strategic move .
Then Tammy mom gives the Weaver mom credit for being the driving force behind the Weaver team

Above Everything
The Weavers talk about morals and that they are not lieing and conniving and that they were not going to play the game and defeat other peoples characters and they are responsable to a higher authority and are going to go as far as they can even though they feel the other teams may cost them the game but go on to trash the other teams ..." its all lies , even down to their hair color , bottled blonde's . "
Strategic move
The Paolos discuss why the yielded the Weavers ..basically they have been conniving / deceiving and two faced and have only wanted help from the other teams when it benefited them . The Weavers wanted nothing to do with the other teams when they were in first place , now the Weavers want other teams to book them flights . They also said that the Weavers are strong and get places as if magic ..they are very lucky .
They yielded the Weavers because they were last at the Roadblock and all other teams were standing right behind them .
Kindness of strangers
A sweet Panomonian woman gives the Godlewskis money and even offers them her bag with coins . She makes them take the bag with the coins and they hug her ...she comes back and plants her hat on Chris then walks away . Really nice video .

Not so kind
The Weavers give the Godlewskis money but with strings attached , the Weaver mom tried to blackmail them by telling them that she expected a map in return ..they gave her a map ..any old map and were hoping to be the ones that would yield the Weavers . They are now afraid that Mom weaver thinks they are her best friend .. they wanted to give the 5 $ back and rip the map up {l{

Family first
The Weavers dont understand why the other teams dont like them and how they love each other and that they were raised that they were important and to only trust family & God not other people .
They dont understand why the other teams have alliances when it comes down to only one family that will win " why make buddy buddy friends ? it doesn't make sense ? Why Why ? its stupid " . They think the other teams have formed an alliance against them . It frustrates mom Weaver that they were yielded and does not want the game to tuen into the Weavers are bad .
The Gaghans parting words

is important! :] If we can get external research on what day that really is then we have a way to pin down the timeline. Also need to know when the video was made in terms of where it fits along the show. I have not seen it. Is it in Panama or in Costa Rica?
