Thoughts on Amazing Race 8

I finally found the time to watch Amazing Race 8 Family Edition. And I must say, having four people instead of the usual two has made the dynamics of the game much more interesting and even more challenging. Seeing couples argue and squabble before now seems corny after I've seen mothers panicking like crazy over cars losing gas and little kids actually trying to help out their parents carry supposedly wounded civil war soldiers to their bunks. Even if I've seen 8 seasons of the reality show, the new twist of having 4 family members in one team just makes it just as fresh as the first season.

Here are some of my favorite scenes from the 2nd pitstop of Amazing Race 8:

Gaghan Family
This is a picture of the family that brought their two kids as part of the team. In fairness, the kids didnt seem like extra baggage. There was even a time when the kid was actually suggesting to the father that they ask around for directions when they couldnt find the clue box at the Reflecting Pool which ended up to be the wrong pool anyways.




losers
Rogers Family
This is the family that ended up losing in the 2nd leg of the race. The dad was such an ass. He was blaming his son all the time. It was actually his fault cuz he make them take the 30East when they should've taken the 30West. Oh well, that's why they lost.



fatherdaughters
Bransen Family
This team rocks! Its made up of the dad and his three daughters. The dad has a hard time keeping up with his 3 daughters but they still made it!
I have soo much more to say but time is up! (Once again, Im in an internet shop). Til the next episode then!
