The Amazing Race 8 (titulado The Amazing Race: Family Edition (The Amazing Race: Edición Familiar) fue la octava temporada de el popular show de telerealidad, The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race 8 se diferencia de previas temporadas de The Amazing Race en que, en lugar de parejas de adultos con una relación pre-existente, esta carrera cuenta con familias de cuatro y permite la participación de menores tan pequeños de hasta la edad de 8 años. La Carrera regresó a los equipos originales de dos adultos para The Amazing Race 9. Además de tener también retos más fáciles, la carrera también le bajó el perfil a los viajes internacionales, como numerosas etapas fueron realizadas en la parte continental de Estados Unidos, y todas las locaciones de la carrera fueron en América del Norte.

Plantilla:Trivia

[editar] General

  • Los Marcadores de Ruta fueron coloreados amarillo, blanco, & negro, similar a los Marcadores de Ruta de la temporada 1 (y en contraste de los amarillo & rojo de todas las demás temporadas).
  • El show dijo que habrían solo dos Retenciones, pero hubo otro en la etapa 1 que no fue emitido porque no fue usado.
  • Como con la Temporada 7, los ganadores de la carrera fueron revelados en escándalos de apuestas online, antes de emitido el episodio final. [1]
  • En Australia, la novena temporada fue emitida antes de esta temporada a principios de 2006. Esta temporada se estrenó el 9 de noviembre a las 9:30pm en el Seven Network.
  • De Acuerdo con Wally Bransen, una 11ma Familia (Flanders) se suponía iban a estar en la carrera, pero fueron sacados en último minuto. Las causas de esto aún se desconocen.[cita requerida]

[editar] Antes de la Carrera

[editar] En la Carrera

  • En esta carrera, la tarjeta de crédito suministrada, abarca no sólo los pasajes de avión, sino también gasolina. Anteriormente, la gasolina debía ser pagada con el suministro en efectivo. El cambio de regla fue necesario por el hecho de que la mayor parte del transporte se realiza en automóviles en lugar de aviones.
  • Los límites de realización de Bloqueos, encontrado en las temporadas 6 y 7, no se aplica en esta temporada. Además, algunos Bloqueos en esta edición requieren la participación de dos miembros del equipo. También, por primera vez desde la temporada 5, una etapa a mitad de la carrera (4) fue emitida sin Bloqueo.
  • Kevin & Drew de la Temporada 1 aparecieron en la primera etapa de la carrera entregando pistas a los equipos en un stand de hot dog en Nueva York.
  • En la Etapa 1, Renee Rogers se cayó en la linea de partida sufriendo una concusión. Los Rogers no se dieron cuenta de la gravedad de la lesión, hasta que fueron a un hospital después de haber sido eliminados de la carrera. [2]
  • En la Etapa 4, la Familia Paolo, después de terminar una tarea de partybikes, subieron a su vehículo y vieron una tormenta asociada con los restos del Huracán Dennis a la salida de la Pista de Carreras Talladega.
  • Al final de la Etapa 4, la Familia Schroeder fue eliminada en Nueva Orleans, su ciudad natal. Un mes después del fin de la carrera, su hogar se vio seriamente dañada por el Huracán Katrina (ver más adelante).
  • En la Etapa 6, en el Volcán Poás, la pista parece contener instrucciones de Avance Rápido; sin embargo, esto no se menciona o se describe, tal vez porque ningún equipo tomó ventaja, o porque los planes para la tarea cayeron a mitad de la carrera. El Avance Rápido en la etapa 5 se presenta como el único en toda la carrera cuando el show fue televisado. Una fuenta online [3] afirma que la tarea simplemente no fue usada, y todas las referencias fueron sacadas.
  • De acuerdo a una entrevista con Wally Bransen en RFFRadio, el Huracán Emily obligó a los productores a cancelar una etapa en Belice. Los equipos tubieron un día libre adicional en Costa Rica después de la Etapa 6. (Ver Enlaces Externos)
  • Un error de cámara ocurrió en la Etapa 9 (No mostrado) causando que la Batería del vehículo de la Familia Godlewski fallara, posicionándolas en el último lugar por el momento. Otro error, exactamente el mismo de la etapa 9, ocurrió en la Etapa 10 (tampoco fue mostrada) afectando a la Familia Linz, que también causó su desplazamiento hasta el último lugar por el momento.
  • Linda Weaver vestía una camiseta con el nombre "Chris" en ella para muchas etapas de la carrera. Contrario a la creencia popular, Chris no es el nombre de su difunto esposo, sino que su novio.[1]
  • En una entrevista en RFF Radio con Wally Bransen, él dijo que los Linz los vencieron a ellos hasta la Alfombra Final por uno o dos minutos en la etapa final, haciendo que el tercer lugar estuviera más cercano a que no terminara nunca. Los Weavers terminaron en tercer lugar 2una hora ó dos" después.
  • Linda Weaver de mala gana participó en dos retos relacionados directamente con las carreras. Una fue una carrera de Karting en Arizona, y la otra involucraba atravesar la Pista de Carreras Talladega en una bicicleta. El esposo de Weaver, Roy, fue muerto en un accidente cuando fue atropellado por un auto de carrera en la Pista Internacional de Carreras de Daytona en 2004.
  • Los Weavers fueron el primer equipo en la historia de The Amazing Race en ser Retenidos dos veces en la misma carrera (de las tres veces posibles en la carrera; la tercera Retención no fue usada aquí). Apesar de haber llegado últimos en la etapa después de haber sido Retenidos por segunda vez, fueron salvados por una situación no eliminatoria.

[editar] Post-Race

  • After the Linz family were named the official winners, it was revealed that the Bransen and Weaver Families would compete in the "Final Amazing Challenge". The two families would race back and forth between the last roadblock of the race (a map of North and Central America) and a set of 12 clueboxes, each of which contained an icon, representing something the families did on the race. The object of the challenge was to race (as a family) out to the clueboxes, get the icons one at a time, and then place them on the appropriate place on the map. Whichever team finished this challenge first would win a brand new GMC Yukon XL, the same vehicle that had been used on the race. The Bransen family won the challenge and the vehicle.
  • The Schroeder family evacuated their New Orleans home due to Hurricane Katrina and stayed with the Rogers family in Shreveport, Louisiana for a short period of time. Denny Rogers even supplied a truck to help the Schroeders evacuate the flood-ravaged area. The Schroeder home was seriously damaged and was being rebuilt at the time of the show's airing.[2]
  • Production staff visited a Moab, Utah diner during the shooting of Leg 9. They inadvertently left behind papers including the full text of that leg's clues; see External links below.
  • Billy and Carissa Gaghan wrote introductions for "My Ox is Broken", a book about the Amazing Race.[3]

Individual prizes were awarded to the first family to complete each leg.

[editar] Criticisms and reactions

Fans, critics, and racers were lukewarm over the format changes implemented in this edition of The Amazing Race. The main issues were the lack of international travel and watered down challenges tailored to families. The expanded cast also made it more difficult to develop individual story lines. Entertainment Weekly commented that "Half the fun of The Amazing Race has always been watching the inter and intra-couple bickering that goes with being chronologically late and lost in a foreign land. Seeing parents yell at their children in exotic New Jersey? Not so fun".[4] Estados Unidos Today shared similar opinions, adding that "the idea of being trapped in the back seat for a forced cross-country family drive comes closer to a nightmare relived than a dream come true."[5] Racers were also disappointed that they did not have a chance to travel to more exotic locations; in one episode Marion Paolo commented "Why are we going to Phoenix, Arizona for? I want to go to New Zealand!", a statement that also summed up the general opinion of the season.

In hindsight, the production team has admitted that the concept of a Family Edition "looked good on paper" but failed in execution, since child racers limited foreign travel for that season.[6] Creators Bert Van Munster and Jonathan Littman doubt that the family format will be revived in the future.
