I'm thinking specifically of Chip and Kim a few seasons back...they were sunny, positive people, and gave thanks to the Lord without making it sound like they were in anyone's face. <BR/><BR/>As for Colin, that wasn't as much of an editing issue as it was the fact that he cracked under the "pressure" of the race.Scott Rushinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941615826228265183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-1131506139864776132005-11-08T19:15:00.000-08:002005-11-08T19:15:00.000-08:00The Weavers disgust me.

But until this last week, they weren't showing much of the Weavers that I wouldn't have layed off to stress & some overly works-based teaching in their home church. This last week, though, yikes. (I didn't even try & quote the recapped section of the Weaver's dissing the other teams based on their looks.) <BR/><BR/>Look, I'm not trying to bash the Weavers. I don't want anyone following me around with a camera crew, ever. My control of my tongue is just not that good.Mark (aka pastor guy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12920114022832644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-1131459068754046642005-11-08T06:11:00.000-08:002005-11-08T06:11:00.000-08:00Two things:1 - At face value I agree with the crit...Two things:<BR/><BR/>1 - At face value I agree with the critics and the Weavers do make me cringe everytime they open their mouths.<BR/><BR/>2 - On the other hand and to be fair, the Weaver family may be the victims of selective / creative editing. Remember Collin a few seasons back. Reality television does not give us the whole story - just the story the producers wish to portray. Other Christian contestants in past seasons have been portrayed doing some of the same things the Weavers do. This may be coicidence or it may be evidence of the producers' perspective of Christians. My point in all of this is to say - we don't know all the facts and we might look just a silly if we were placed in the Weavers' shoes.Nordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654939619972769144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-1131428720487048272005-11-07T21:45:00.000-08:002005-11-07T21:45:00.000-08:00I love that show also, but I haven't seen a single...I love that show also, but I haven't seen a single episode past the opener for this season. I'll pick it back up in the spring. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about the Weaver family. Hopefully they will listen to themselves on television, and come to some realizations about the way they sound to others. Often times we have to stick our foot (feet?) in our mouth before we can hear ourselves and improve our conversational skills.Scott Rushinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941615826228265183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-1131414530093010212005-11-07T17:48:00.000-08:002005-11-07T17:48:00.000-08:00good post. well said.good post. well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
