will Rupert Boneham and his family be cast members on The Amazing Race 8?
First Alison (and Donny), then Rob and Amber. And now, perhaps, Rupert Boneham and his family. Yes, the real-life ogre may be an upcoming cast member of The Amazing Race 8, which will be a special family edition. Citing no sources, the Toronto Sun reports, "Don't be surprised if Survivor favorite Rupert Boneham, along with his wife, daughter and foster child, aren't part of the next race." Although Canadians are intelligent (the paper also reports that The Amazing Race 7 is more popular in Canada than American Idol 4), you know they just love to mess with us, so until we hear further confirmation, we'll just pretend this is a rumor or a horrible, awful joke.

i don't believe his daughter fits the age requirements. they have to be 8 years old, and the daughter was just 4 when rupert was handed his $1m check last year.

Since I had to put up with Alison and Rob on AR, I guess having Rupert on AR will be my compensation. I hope he and his family make it!!!

There is absolutely no way I can stomach watching Rupert on tv again, count me out for watching that race.

Rupert's daughter does not meet the age requirements. Maybe he has brothers, sisters, sisters in law etc. I cannot see Rupert and his wife being away from their daughter together at the same time.

I already wasn't looking forward to this next, "family edition" of TAR. To have to see Rupert on it, too? I've never, NEVER missed an episode of TAR (not once!) but I may have to pass completely on this season.

Wow! You guys really get into your TV viewing!!!

I happen to find Rupert harmlessly entertaining, but I know that there isn't a single "reality star" that they could put on this show that would cause me to stop watching it. If I can watch Alison, I can watch anything!

If there's a roadblock involving digging a basement in the sand near the ocean or perhaps stealing other contestants shoes, than Rupert and Friends™ would have a great advantage. Otherwise, I don't see him doing very well.

As I recall Ruperts sand project got washed away and was total disaster.

Yes, but now he has experience and this time might not run into a tree root!

Family edition? I'll probably tune in, but I'm not wild about this concept. I couldn't care one way or another whether Rupert's on or not, although I don't think he'd have the temperment to last too long in this kind of competition.

Please, please, please!! Haven't we seen enough of this man? He was on not one, but two Survivors. And then they gave him the money just to make him finally go away. And now he's back??? I'd rather watch Alison again than Rupert <MG> and his pitiful pirate act! Ack!!!!

Talk about loud & non-knowledgeable of local customs (i.e. the stereotypical American tourist). Please, Rupert brought fresh blood and a novel viewpoint to Survivor - then it got old the second time around.
I want to see Landi et al on AR8, not Rupert's.

I happen to like Rupert but I don't think he's suited to Amazing Race. Now, Rob and Amber, even back when I was all pouty about them being on the race, I figured they would probably do well. And with Ali I figured she wouldn't do well..

I want fresh teams (but then I said that this time and I'm a big Romber fan.). I don't like all star seasons, either. Or celbrity stuff like celebrity mole.

Is America running low on people to be on reality shows? I like it much better when I don't know anybody at the beginning of a show. These re-treads are getting old.

I'm not even sure I will watch AR8. I really don't want to see a whole family sit there anargue about stuff. As for Rupert, I agreee with Seamonkey, he just doesn't seem suited for it.

Does anyone know if the families have to have kids under 18 to run the race? When I heard about the "family" race, I thought more along the lines of four related adults, or possibly Mom, Dad, and Two kids over 16.

I really wonder how they are going to pull this off. Taxis alone seem impossible when one factors in the fact that the crew needs two of the seats. Still, I never saw how this whole thing was possible in the first place, so I will give the TAR production crew the benefit of the doubt and give the show a whirl when it premieres.

BTW - I think the only reason the Rupert rumors are swirling is because of Romber's casting on the current season. Frankly, I think seeing Rupert again would be entertaining (just like seeing Rob again has been), but I don't think his family fits what's needed for TAR8.

OH, I'll watch, Rupert or not..

Yes, I've wondered about the logitics too.. and would a family with big teenagers be at a disadvantage for transportation, but at an advantage for challenges over teams with eight year olds? Seems like 12 would be a good limit so that leads me to believe they found a team they really want with an 8 year old...

There could be worse families on TAR (Puck from BB, Jase from BB, Omarosa, ANY bachelor or bachelorette. Any beauty queen.. oops.. we have had lots of those! Any Sheen or Baldwin, any c level standup comedian..

But, I'll watch.

thanks kona! glad to already have some fans! hehehe and we haven't even been picked yet!
