To quote from your post of yesterday:
"CBS today announced the identities of the 10 families set to compete in THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION. For the first time ever, the Emmy Award-winning reality adventure series will feature teams of four instead of two, comprised of family members. The 10 teams of families will compete against one another in a race around the world for a $1 million prize.
and....
"THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION features 10 teams -- each comprised of four family members -- on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days."
and...
30,000 miles would take you around the world at least once at the equator (twice at the Artic Circle) And this is an awful lot of miles to run up just by travelling from the East Coast to the West Coast and back (About 7,000 miles; oh well make that 10,000 if they go South and North also) We have had suposedly sightings in Beliz and Panama. Still that would not account for a total of 30,000 miles. So were they able to sneak away and actually travel around the world more or less on a straight line from Panama to Europe to Asia and back to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and then on to Toronto and Montreal??????

Just returned from my cousin's wedding in New Orleans and in speaking with my other cousin at the family brunch, our conversation turned to TAR. She asked if I was still a fan, and informed me that one of the bridesmaids' boss (she works at The Ritz Carlton in N.O., as does he) had just gotten back recently with his family from filming the new TAR: Family Edition. The bridesmaid didn't have any other info outside of that/her boss didn't tell her much more, but look for a southern New Orleans family in the next race. Just a heads-up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They followed this post with one allegedly from the said N.O. hotel guy Racer posting on some board called Datalounge and added the board isn't the most reliable:

I'm Going to Be on The Amazing Race with my family in September. We just got back (that's no spoiler, because even teams eliminated early go into sequester/decoy mode). The season should start in September. I'm the hotel manager from New Orleans. Can't really say much more, except I had some slight disappointment in the fact that this race took place mainly in North America. But that's understandable because some teams had children as young as 7 with them.
Well, hope you guys watch!!!

So who is this guy claiming that he is a Hotel Manager (Ritz Carlton) not an architect. Is someone just posting to get his own kicks from Route 66? So claiming that the race took place "mainly in North America" still leaves some overseas travelling - Belize, Panama, and Canada are all still in North America as is the USofA, of course. Until more is proven rialable I would not take anything from this source as gospel

--- Quote from: gingerman28 on August 19, 2005, 02:16:17 PM ---I have been puffing and puffing on my pipe and the "arouand the world" quote that keeps coming up has me thinking. Also the grand total of only 30,000 miles also has me puzzled. But as Sherlock said to the good doctor: Its elementary. So here is the pipe dreams to beat all pipe dreams (and , Puddin, please don't ask what I have been smoking in my pipe)
This is my wildest guess of where TAR8 goes:
Leg One. New York to Washington, DC 205 miles
Washington DC to Charleston, SC 447 miles
Charleston,SC to Huntsville, AL 404 miles
Leg Two Huntsville, AL to Taladega, AL 95 miles
Taladega, AL to Beliz City, Beliz 1109 miles
Leg Three Beliz City to Panama City, Panama 827 miles
Leg Four Panama City to Wellington, NZ 7447 miles
Leg Five Wellington,NZ to Sydney, AUS 1384 miles
Leg Six Sydney, AUS to Manila, PI 3898 miles
Leg Seven Manila, PI to Honolulu, HI 5304 miles
Leg Eight Honolulu, HI to San Francisco, CA 2395 miles
Leg Nine San Francisco, CA to Jackson, WY 732 miles
Leg Ten Jackson, WY to Toronto, Canada 1557 miles (note may be included in Leg nine)
Leg Eleven Toronto to Montreal 314 miles
Montreal to New York, NY 320 miles
This gives us a total of 26, 438 miles
Locations are selected for English speaking ability. English is the primary language in Beliz, Panama and The Philippines
There probably is local travel in and around these locations which would account for an additional 3,600 miles
If there are the usual 13 legs, then some locations may include more than one leg.
As I said this is a pure pipe dream.

the DataLounge thread Link
gingerman28:
This is interesting and I would like to know CBS's reaction to it. The DataLounge posting from the person in New Orleans claiming to be on TAR8 was posted on Aug 9 a week before the "Official" release of the teams by CBS on TES on Aug 16. The poster was later identified as being CS. So either Mr. or Mrs. Schroeder must have spoken to someone about being on the race which seems to me to be in violation of the confidentiality contract which all contestents must sign. In the article about the three brothers and sisters posted above, the writer claims that all the information was given to him by the mother since the three siblings were prevented by their contract from speaking to the press. I wonder how CBS is treating the Schroeder affair?
