... it represented an excellent example of the uses historians can make of blogs both to explore their ideas and to increase understanding of the past and of the discipline of history.

Thank goodness it's over. Do you think the producers had it in for the Weavers - having the last challenge involve geography and all?
The producers? I was thinking the Lord Almighty (ha!), but the real blame should fall on the person who home-schooled the kids--Ma Weaver! Too bad they did not include footage of Rolly finishing another challenge for them, saying, "What does Florida look like?" I'll be they skipped the map, avoided the humiliation, and ran to the mat
If the producers really wanted to be cruel, they could have made the teams assemble Mexico state-by-state.
That should say "I'll bet they skipped the map ..."
Well... There was a challenge after the Linzes won between the Weavers and the Bransens for a new car (the footage was on cbs.com) that involved the geography map, so the Weavers did have to put theirs together (fyi - they lost the car to the Bransens).
