The Amazing Race 8 --- Family Edition The eighth season of the acclaimed Amazing Race has ended. The two-hour premiere aired Tuesday, September 27 at 9 P.M., and new episodes aired each week in that timeslot until the conclusion. While past seasons have featured teams of two with an existing relationship, this new edition featured ten families of four racing for the million dollar prize. While some changes were made, the program featured the same Detours and Roadblocks as previous seasons. The families included children as young as eight, although most of the cast are still adults. Additionally, more time was spent in the United States and Canada and the overall distance that the teams had to race was greatly lessened. Some worried that such a drastic format change could have a negative effect on this well-respected show. Indeed, this season of the program was less-watched than others, generally panned by critics, disliked by many fans and was even acknowledged as possibly a mistake by host Phil Keoghan. Congratulations to The Amazing Race, now a three-time winner of the Primetime Emmy Award for Best Reality-Competition Program. The Amazing Race has beaten out programs such as Survivor and The Apprentice to win these awards! Now also a winner in the Creative Arts department for Outstanding Picture Editing For Nonfiction Programming (Single or Multi-Camera) in 2005. The Amazing Race is on internationally!
