But then host Phil Keoghan spoke the words any last-place team would kill to hear, "this is a non-elimination round." But the Weavers, clearly worn out from complaining and their second yield of the contest, we're ready to pack it in.
It was a rough round for the pride of Florida. Rolly identified the first sign of trouble -- Rebecca's driving -- and said, "We're going 51 [mph], that's how they are beating us."
Then Momma Weaver opted for scenic Highway 92, which must have been Lewis and Clark's original route. And finally the Linz family drove the final stake home with a yield at the Salt Lake Olympic park.
But it wasn't enough to kill this family. They've been mocked, yielded, targeted and taunted, but the Weavers will not go quietly. So cover your ears, we have at least one more week to hear "The Weaver's Greatest Whines."
TAR QUICK HITS -- Episode 9
Best Quote: "The people who win will probably spend it on a new nose and fake boobs." -- Rebecca Weaver
Wisdom from Walter: Walter Bransen teased us with signs of life saying, "We're gonna try and be more aggressive." But it's hard for Walter and leopards to change their spots. He later confessed on the road trip to Moab, Utah, "I could go for something tranquil and boring."
That's Family: "If we lose a teammate, it's gonna be him," said Nick Linz as his brother repelled down a Utah rock face. And if it happens, "we'll turnaround and do the bikes."
First place: Linz family (Prize: Trip for four to Jackson Hole, Wyo.)
Last place: Weaver Family (Non-elimination)
