TAR 8 "Family" application
RudyRules:
I decided to post the entire article from TVGuide. I know...it's old...January 16...but it's an interesting read. I tried to fix the scanned pages so they're reasonably readable! *^? Might want to dig out the magnifying glass!

And every minor on the team must have at least one parent or gardian also on the team. They will accept applications from 5-member teams with the understanding that they will downsize it to four before the race starts.

This is such a mistake...kids in TAR?? So not right. :(*8

I am with you on that one...look at the stress it puts on adults and the way it messes with their minds, can you imagine that with a 12 year old?

Hopefully, TAR will pick close-knit families who are willing to WORK TOGETHER no matter what! Should be an interesting "experiment". I'm kinda excited about it, actually. Should prove entertaining 4sure! <[/

Thanks for posting the TV guide article Rudy. Very interesting comments by these experts. One thing the experts forget is they only see what the CBS editors thought would be interesting to show in an one hour episode. I forgot which couple mentioned that yes there was bickering but that was from lack of sleep, etc. and the majority of the time they got on. I know from my own personal experience, when I am tired, hungry and hot.... I become a different person with no patience and am quick to snap at whatever comes my way ]*] ]*] ]*]. As for the family TAR, I think it is an interesting concept but I could't imagine many families applying with kids as young as 12. I was figuring more of kids in their 20's. But as Phil said on the CBS morning show, it will be interesting to see what people consider a family. How do they propose to squeeze 4 people into a taxi as the front seats are taken up by the camera guy and taxi driver. What happened to the All Stars edition??
