BUGGY BLUNDERS
With the Aiellos gaining momentum, the Weaver family began to feel the pressure and switched out riders, allowing a fresh Linda Weaver to pull the buggy. However, as the buggy began a downhill roll picking up speed, the brake didn't work for daughters Rachel and Rebecca, causing it to roll directly over Linda. While Linda wasn't hurt, the entire family, having already lost a husband and father, was shaken up. Rather than continuing on, the Weavers chose to run back and build the watermill instead.
With the arrival of most Teams, the race to finish the Detour was in full swing. While Billy and Carissa sang "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain," their parents managed to pass the exhausted Aiello family. The Godlewskis and Bransens tried to gain ground on the Weavers building the watermill, while the seventh place Black family arrived to join in the construction, followed by the pair of Louisiana Teams, and the Paolos in last place.
While the Linz family struggled to pull the buggy for even the first half mile, the Weaver family poured water into their creation and watched as the wheel turned, earning the clue that directed them to the Pit Stop, 17 miles away at the Rohrer Family Farm on Blue Rock Road in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
