Sea, you are taking this better than I am. I can already predict a season of me pissing and moaning about these whiney kids on TAR.

Well, can't see anything wrong with that - we already P&M about the whiney adults!

The kids just may surprise you Lexie. I can't immagine any kid being more immature than Victoria's hubby....was his name Jon? How quickly I forget...

Anyway, I don't automatically assume that all children are whiney because I've come in contact with some pretty amazing kids that have a maturity about them that would rival many so called adults.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Just a couple of days ago, I did see a commercial for AR and they were asking "teams of two" to sign up for the next season... so it looks like they will be returning to the standard format....

I love TAR. I'm sure that the kids have been well chosen/screened. I just hope that the kids are ready to experience some of the more unpleasant parts of the world. TAR usually travels to at least one third world country. Kids, or no kids, I plan to keep watching TAR.

Lexie Not to fear, I am here with you and ready to expect the worse. Ignore these miserable little pieces of sunshine who are trying to rain on our parade.

Ray of sunshine here figuring the whining can't be any worse than in past seasons by "adults". I am looking forward to all the new countries.
kimmykm- I just did a quick search and all I could find out was that it is starting sometime in the fall. As of May it was still "in production"

Running away quickly before anyone throws something at me

Ray of sunshine here, prefering to go into watching with a positive attitude and expecting to enjoy it, rather than the other. My thing is why bother to watch something I'm expecting not to like?

some info has been coming out on TAR8...it looks like the race will be set partially, if not completely, in North America (which to me is good....we've never had a lot of Continental US stops except for start/finish)....and they may have 11, 4-person teams.

And TAR got nommed for 5 emmys yesterday.

i would think the hardest thing about having kids on the show would be for them to keep secret who the winner is for the whole time they have to keep it to themselves! i'd have enough trouble hiding having won a million bucks at my ripe old age...as a kid, i would have had a doozy of a time not telling my best friend, after swearing her to secrecy, of course... and then she'd tell two friends and they'd tell 2 friends and pretty soon, it would be all over!

If it was an all North American TAR it could include Canada and Mexico. It sounds fascinating and will definitely be different with kids. Wonder if the next stop is Disneyworld.

Well this is interesting...

-The show from what I hear is going to debut 9/20, MAYBE.

-They'res a rumor that they are having a ton of problems with the 4-person teams, and they might scrap the race altogether and restart with a normal race...which would make the start date probably not work.

Problems with 4-person teams? You think? </sarcasm>

But I wonder, is a logistical problem with the four person teams, or is a behaviour problem with the children on the team?

I've been trying to be optimistic about this TAR8, they know what they're doing, they wouldn't ruin a good thing..., but, I dunno. This news from Wilson almost has me excited that this might not happen...

They have a very good show that was finally getting recognized and getting good ratings. I don't know why they want to chance ruining it by tinkering with it this way adding four person teams and kids. Makes me nauseous.

Hmmm, I wonder what problems 4 person teams would have that 2-person wouldn't.
