True about that task requiring strength, but that's why it was a detour with the curling, which doesn't require that much strength, being the other option. They were pretty good about that throughout, making sure that detours that required strength were balanced by those that didn't require so much strength. If a team with little kids picks the strength-requiring detour anyway, well that's just stupid.

And actually, only 2 teams had little kids, and one of those was eliminated in the first leg. After those teams, I think Rolly was the youngest at 14, and he certainly proved himself capable on quite a few roadblocks. (He had to, since his sisters rarely if ever would do them.)

i have only seen a few episodes. i sort of wanted to 3rd place team to win.
As I said earlier, I really do think I would have thrown my TV out the window if the Weavers had won. Their attitude made them perhaps the team that I have disliked the most in 8 seasons. I started out liking them, but with every week that passed, they became more and more unbearable to me. I still have some hope for Rolly that he can overcome the influence of his mother and sisters -- I shared his exasperation last night when the rest of his family was just giving up, since the task was "stupid."
