puddin:
Paolos #1 they win a trip to Panama !!
Papa gives Phil a Bear hug
Weavers go birdwatching.
Birds, birds, everywhere.
Tippi Hedren, where are you!?
They've quickly marked off 3, 4, then ... which Toucan? They think they have 5.
Man: Sorry folks. Try again.
Bransens begin the birdwatch.
Weavers start over.
Linz, Godlewski pledge to work together on Rhythm Detour.
Paolos, head for the pitstop.
Man: Welcome to Panama.
Phil: Paolo family, you're team #1. You've won a trip for 4 to Panama after the Race. Did you ever think you'd go bungee jumping with the kids?
Mom: DJ kissed me on the way down!
DJ conf: The way we argue, that was kind of special
puddin:
Bransen, Weaver, race to finish birdwatching.
Weavers finish, now in 2nd, read the CLUE in bad Spanglish.
Phil: They head to the Estadio (stadium) for the next clue.
Dad Bransen: It's one of those, like, talking birds.
Man: You got it.
Bransens now 3rd.
Linz, Godlewski still instrument-gathering.
They compliment their newfound alliance skills.
Meh.
Meanwhile, the Gaghans get their first instrument.
The Godlewskis and Linz finish, dancers celebrate with a brief dance.
They put the instruments in the correct cases.
CLUE: Travel by Diabolo Rojo to Estadio de los ___es (sorry folks, that's the best I can do without closed captioning!)
Stadium.
CLUE: ROADBLOCK.
Who can hit in the pinch?
Phil: They have to play the most popular Panama sport, baseball. They step into the cage, 3 pitches per turn at bat. If they don't get a hit, they go to the end of the line. A hit, or a homer, and they get the next CLUE.
puddin:
Beth Bransen makes the first OUT.
Godlewskis, Linz, arrive.
Rolly Weaver gets a ... well, not a hit. He's safe on an error.
It counts.
Teams are "rude to Rolly!"
Phil: The last family to check in at Mira Flores Locks may be eliminated.
Beth Bransen back up, and she's down to her last pitch.
Finally, a hit.
Whoo-hoo!
Bransens, now in 3rd.
Nick Linz, a hit in his first at-bat.
They're in 4th.
Linz comments, out of order: Hope the chicks don't get eliminated. Florida's in front of us. Tell her to screw herself.
Dad Gaghan decides to bat.
Sharon Godlewski at bat, OUT.
Dad Bill Gaghan, knocks it deep into the outfield, a hit.
They're in 5th.
Kids: Dad! You did good!
Mom: You did awesome!
Dad conf: Feels so good to come back from the bottom like that!
Sharon Godlewski back up to bat.
Sister: Come on Sharon! You can do it!
She's exhausted, head down, leaning on the bathead.
COMMERCIAL.

We're back, and of course the Paolos jump. The Gaghans are now definitely in last, and decide to do the Rhythm Detour. The Paolos are told to go to the Miraflores Locks and the Pit Stop.
Bransens are lost. Weavers arrive at the park and look at bords. They finish rather quickly, but get it wrong the first time. Bransens arrive and start the task. Godlewski and Linz arrive for the Rhythm task.
Paolos arrive at the Pit Stop and win a trip to Panama - but they're already there!
The Weavers finish and get their clue. They must travel 2 miles to a Baseball Stadium and find their next clue. Bransens finish the task. Meanwhile the Linz and Godlewski families are blowing through the task.
Gaghans arrive and start the Rhythm task. The Linz and Godlewski finish and head to the stadium. The Gaghan family get the instruments quickly.
Weavers arrive and find a Roadblock - they must hit a base hit or homerun off a Little League pitcher. They only get 3 pitches at a time. Rolly takes it. Bransens arrive and Beth takes it.
Godlewski and Linz arrive, Sharon and Nick take it.
Rolly completes the task (barely) and travel 5 miles to the Pit Stop. The last team to arrive may be eliminated. Gaghans arrive at the bar and complete the Detour.
Beth finishes the Roadblock. Nick gets a hit on the first hit. Gaghans arrive at the stadium and Bill takes it. Like Nick, he gets it on the first swing. So the Godlewski girls are obviously last. We'll see how Sharon does after the
