The teams have to search 56,000 seats in the stadium for plane tickets.

Then they all had to stop and go pay their cabbies--Ted was getting $40 bucks an hour to haul them around.

It feels like you're going to break in half, even with a snowsuit and parka. When it is that cold there is usually no wind, which is good. Plus it only lasts a couple of days. Normal the winter lows are -45 to -50F. Anything above -60 feels the same according to the chill reading card I have.

No exposed skin during those days. I made the mistake of removing my glove and my hand almost froze to the tower doorknob. You only have to leave some skin on a doorknob once to learn to never ever do it again.

Look at the Weavers--they're sitting, watching the other teams search.

Have they completed the task or are they cheating?

I know. and finally they have all caught up and the Weavers seem to be throwing in the towel. I am just a little on the anxious side. Always am on the last show of the race.

We are supposed to get freezing rain here too, but it's just not the same as a nice snow day. My 4 yr. old has never seen snow.

I wouldn't call it cheating, but it's blatantly sneaky.

It's a huge stadium and the teams have to search over 56,000 seats to find plane tickets that are attached to (I think) three of them. A needle in a haystack.

They've been there for hours now. They're all exhausted. The oldest Weaver girl wants to give up (good!)

It hardly ever snows here. When it does the weathermen go nuts--you think the world is coming to an end :)

The teams have to go to the top of a tower (forgot the name) that overlooks Toronto. They have to use binoculars to spot a flag. All three families are there at the same time. But the Linzs and Bransens spot the flag and head down (the high five each other, LOL). The Weavers are still looking.

I remember the preview for this, last week. Wally telling his girls to shut up, or something. Do they have to search together? I would split up and do 4 sections at a time.
