There's a spoiler on TWOP, quoting from someone who works for Air Canada on an airline board, that says the TAR8 racers were flying from Toronto to Montreal yesterday. Which would tie in with Niagara Falls very neatly.

And a finish on a Sunday would fit the traditional filming schedule.

The only thing I find odd (given the rumored problems with production) is the length of time this suggests the filming took. 12/13 legs in 24 days (July 7-31)?

But a finish of filming today would give the post-production folks six-seven weeks to work on the editing of the early legs with the production in the can.

If we can believe all the spoilers, then the entire Race - Family Edition - was filmed on the North American mainland.

The Amazing Race: Family Edition Two Hour Premiere Airs September 27th  9/22/05

 

TEN FAMILIES EMBARK ON THE ULTIMATE FAMILY VACATION WHEN THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING REALITY SERIES "THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION" DEBUTS WITH A SPECIAL 2-HOUR BROADCAST, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"Go Mommy Go! We Can Beat Them!" -- Ten families will embark on the ultimate family vacation with one family taking home the $1 million prize when THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION, the three-time Emmy Award-winning reality series, premieres with a special two-hour broadcast, Tuesday, September 27 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

The picturesque New York skyline emerges as water taxis speed the 10 families across the New York Harbor as they ready themselves for a high-energy race through Manhattan.
Fireworks begin immediately as one family bickers about getting lost in the crowded streets while another team complains of a leg injury.
After completing their first task, families travel to Pennsylvania where they must paddle a rowboat across the Delaware River, the same place where George Washington famously crossed the Delaware during the Revolutionary War.
At the detour, families choose between building a miniature working water mill or pulling a traditional Amish buggy along a 1.5-mile course.
One family has a big scare as their buggy nearly runs over a team member, while another team becomes exhausted pushing their buggy through the countryside.

THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan that pits 10 teams of families against each other in a race around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each family must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Families who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

Following are the 10 families, listed in no particular order:

TEAM: GODLEWSKI SISTERS Hometown: Des Plaines, Ill.

TEAM: WEAVER FAMILY (WIDOW AND KIDS) Hometown: Ormond Beach, Fla.

TEAM: GAGHAN FAMILY

Hometown: Glastonbury, Conn.

TEAM: BLACK FAMILY

Hometown: Woodbridge, Va.

TEAM: LINZ FAMILY (SIBLINGS)

Hometown: Cincinnati

TEAM: ROGERS FAMILY

Hometown: Shreveport, La.

TEAM: SCHROEDER FAMILY (DAD, STEPMOM AND KIDS)

Hometown: New Orleans

TEAM: BRANSEN FAMILY (DAD AND DAUGHTERS)

Hometown: Park Ridge, Ill.

TEAM: AIELLO FAMILY (FATHER AND SONS-IN-LAW)

Hometown: Mansfield, Mass.

TEAM: PAOLO FAMILY

Hometown: Carmel, N.Y.

RATING: To Be Announced

Who's safe based on spoilers ~
The Gaghans
The Gaghans, who have tow small kids, also choose the buggies. Think they can't hack it? (Hint: Even 9-year-old Carissa runs a seven-minute mile) The kids sing a victory song as they barrel past a stronger team, with mom Tammy effortlessly hauling the buggy. "She's an animal!" van Munster shouts.

Do the ]Rodgers & the Schroeders become close ?? As in the Race its self or sequester ?


" we became like family over the course of the race "
Any conflict that may have taken place on the road stayed there, at least where one other family is concerned. The Schroeder family of New Orleans picked the Rogers' house as their refuge after Hurricane Katrina destroyed their home. Now they are building a new house in Shreveport, and the two families are hosting a fund-raiser party for the Red Cross on Sept. 27 -- the night of the premier, Rogers said


The Bransens

The Bransen family dash into Washington Crossing Historic Park in Pennsylvania, the point along the Delaware River where George Washington made his famous crossing. For the first physical challenge
The Weavers & Aiellos
The Weavers arrive and go for the buggies, but later change their minds, the buggies weight 500 pounds. The Aiellos go for the buggies, "Oh, it's brutal" says Matt.

More posted by GMan
  From the descriptions and other pretty reliable sightings in Toronto and Montreal it looks like the four Godlewski Sisters make it that far (a team of four girls was spotted in downtown Toronoto) and either the Weavers or Bransens also make it to Montreal (team with adult and three children spotted but not further identified.)  Also it looks like the Black Family does not make it to the final five (all white familes supposedly spotted.  ) 

Trouble.. the Paolos?

sounds like the Paolos 

The second team looked like an older couple with two teenage sons. The mother looked like her knee was hurting and couldn't really run, but they did all right with the paddling.

Shown lost ,,in trouble .. Misdirection?

vidcaps here




That leaves the Blacks.
The Black Family has the most " in your face time " .. they are in every commericial or promo that I've seen as well as the most articles ..TV Guide /on-line articles ..ETC ..

thoughts ?

revised..whoohoo pretty proud of myself

The Black Family and the Paolo Family are the last to get to the detour.

I just wanted a place to brag. I got my hands on a copy of the premire episode for review.

I'm going to go home and watch it tonight, and feel special for the five days I have before all of you get to watch it, too.

God Lord, the Linz famly is one of the first out of New York City and the first to the sporting good store (if I remember correctly, which I'm sure I am as it was only an hour ago I watched, but I was getting ready for work and this pretty face doesn't come without some effort so I had one eye on the TV), but somehow they end up being on the absolute last teams to get to Washington Crossing in Delaware, enabling even the most inept of teams at this point (The Weavers, who are lost, and the Schroeder family ((Schroeders represent!), who's blindly following them) to get to the crossing first, finish the roadblock, and move on toward Philadelphia, while they're still stopped on the side of the New Jersey turnpike, asking for directions.

As much as I like the Linz family, and really, they're funny and remind me of my own, and as much as I want them to win, they're going to have to trust more in themselves than second guessing, or they're going to get left behind.

The theme song is still there. Phil does the first voice over, as the teams are brough in by water taxi, on Liberty Island.

But somewhere down the pike, someone else does the voice overs about the tasks, and if it's not Phil, I don't listen.

So maybe the crossing the Delaware River task was just a task and not a roadblock. I assumed it was, simply because it was so much more involved than going to the sports store and buying their sleeping bags and tent and getting to the park and setting them up, which, by the way, is where I turned it off to go to work.

I didn't even get to the Detour, so I have no idea how many people hit the pit stop before the tape runs out, like my friend said... so even though the Linz somehow get really, really behind, there's a lot of episode left to go. So they very well might still end up in first.

---

There's one scene very early in the Linz car where the oldest, Nick (the cute one), turns to his sister and says, with captioning help, "Speak. ..." and he's smiling when he does it and looks goofy, and he finishes, "when spoken to."

And she's all, "Oh, no, we're not going to do that, we're not doing that."

It's so cute. It's how my brothers and I behave.

---

And it wasn't 'til just now that I checked CBS's site and learned that the youngest Weaver is not a girl, it's a boy. I thought they were a "Widow and Daughters", but the captioning said "Widow and Kids", and I wanted to know why it didn't say "Daughters", and well, that's why.

---
Oh, sorry. Best I can remember, Phil does a voice over explaining who's on each team at the beginning, with Team Confessionals. But when he addresses them at the starting line, he just calls them "families". Actually, I think he does not address anyone specifically. Afterward, he doesn't do the voice over for the promo tape, so

The tape ends with Familes Weaver, Gaghan, Aiello and Godlewski all on the road after their roadblock, either hopelessly lost or actually close.

The roadblock is the Buggy/Build it in the TV guide thing. Looks like they basically got the same tape I got.

Cassie and Billy sing "She'll be comin' round the moutain" as they pass the Aiellos, the son-in-law team. It's funny.
I can't tell if Cassie is cute or a brat. She even has a lisp. "Travel to the nexst pitsts sstop."
During the buggy challenge, her brother says to their mother, as she's pushing the buggy, "I'm wicked proud of you mom, I wish I could contribute." And Cassie says in response "Get used to it, dork." Sisterly love or a total brat? I'm not sure. Her mother points out that she can run a 7-minute mile, and how many adults can do that? Well, quite a lot. Motherly love? Or annoying?
To mom's credit, she's pulling the whole way, and they're the first to finish the more physical challenge.

As Linz originally run off to the Buggys, Nick yells out, "Muscle out, baybe. Who-ah." To which Alex replies, "It's all about the bi-s and the tri-s something."
Tommy rides with Meagan and farts in the cab. Judging by her laughing, it's not something she's not used to. "So not cool. You're so gross!"
At the end of the tape, Linz is having trouble pushing their buggy. Nick's legs are cramping, and for some reason they're being filmed from a distance. Why do I bring this up? Because Alex has taken off his shirt, and he has some stompers, from what I can tell from a mile away. Stupid film guy.

Mrs. Weaver, the widow whose husband died after being hit by a car on a NASCAR track, is pulling the buggy as they're coming down a hill. And her daughers aren't ready with the brake, and the buggy runs her right over. Lots of screaming, slow motion, and a comerical. Whole confessional about how it reminded the daughters of their father's death. The mother takes it better than they do, as I expected her to do.

Later, Mrs. Weaver, while looking for the pit stop, "Dear Lord, please help us. The Something Family Farm, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Blue Rock Road, please, in Jesus' name, find it."

Phil does at least do the "site of the pitstop for this leg of the race" speech. Just none of the other voice overs.

Is this the first time the first-leg pitstop has been in the U.S.? It stood out that it said "Pennsylvania" in the sign on the Amazing Bathmat.

The tape stops with them taking a breather and the half-way point of the buggy course. They're the last to do the buggy. Everyone else does the building, and are doing it rather fast. The Black Family and the Paolo Family are the last to get to the detour.
Cassie: Gaghan Family, you're team number one.
Mom: Awwww, wouldn't that be sweet.
Cassie: something unintelligable about sweet dreams as the tape fades out and TAR premires Sept. 27 shows up on screen.

But, Alex had his shirt off.
 

[puddin]

If we could narrow the farm down im willing to call.  :cheeky: Blue Rock Road
The Something Family Farm




not these guys.. he's never heard of the show but his daughter has .
He says the Blue Rock Road runs 5 or 7 miles and that its possable that one of the farms could have opened their doors to the teams because thats the sort of place this is ..

http://bluerockbnb.com/

more info here

William Penn had reserved a 3,000 acre site on the eastern bank of the river just north of Turkey Hill for his “New Philadelphia”. The city would have been at the end of the present Blue Rock Road. Blue Rock Road was an ancient Indian trail prior to the arrival of the white settlers. The road today is known as Route 999 as it leaves Millersville, crosses the Little Conestoga and heads to the river just south of Washington Boro. Blue Rock Ferry, which operated around 1730, was located at the end of Blue Rock Road. Blue Rock Road had great significance and was considered the first gateway to the west.

Who's that Cassie person mentioned in some of the posts? Is that a co-host of the show?

Can't wait until Tuesday now!

[puddin]

Cassie is the Gaghan little girl ! Looks to me ( Guessing ) the Gaghans place first !

[puddin]

I'm leaning towards the Blacks but if they choose the Buggy they have less weight to pull where as the Paolos just seem out of shape ..the Black kids are quick & athletic ..but their faces as I said are so " in your face " in all promos where as the Paolos are shown lost in the promos as well as bickering which usually mean misdirection.

thoughts ?

[puddin]

Slowhatch ..I'm not famaliar with the posters at Twop's  , you have some pull there , do you think you can ask this Schroeder dude to rewatch the tape and try to catch the name of the Farm in Lancaster ? If we could pinpoint it I could call and try to get some info on who was eliminated  :cheeky:

[Slowhatch]

 *8/ Sorry to say, but I'm not on the best of terms over there. I decided to walk out on my own two feet rather than wait for the boot.

I agree that there's not much info provided by the photo. If your email luck is holding out, you might try the local paper
http://lancasteronline.com/pages/paper/newera/newsroom.php
I couldn't find a permit page at the Lancaster County government website.

There are dozens of buggy-ride vendors and "Amish experience" hotels in the area; without some more info it's going to be hard to narrow it down. Fwiw, the gray buggy Kevin is shown pulling is the most popular type (solid black means Old Order Amish). More info here

The Linz family TV promo

" I'm going to puke "

[gingerman28]

Caught one of the TAR8 promos on CBS today and it included one quick shot of one team driving up to what appears to be the George Washington Bridge and a female voice says "what a beautiful bridge".  My question is why in the world are they driving all the way up the crowded West Side Highway to the George Washington Bridge to cross into New Jersey to pick up the New Jersey Turnpike when they are headed for the Washington Crossing State Park in New Jersey?  Their first stop is at the Eastern Mountain Sports store at 591 Broadway in lower Manhattan to pick up tents and sleeping bags. So why go up to the GW Bridge when the quickest way from there to the New Jersey Turnpike is through the Holland Tunnel just a half mile away? From there you pick up I78 over to I95 and then south on the New Jersey Turnpike to Route 1 which takes you to the extended I95 and then to Route 29 which takes you to the Washington Crossing State Park. This could save at least an hour drive time.  Perhaps they get specific instructions on what route they have to follow and needless to say, the George Washington Bridge crossing of the Hudson River to New Jersey is a lot more scenic that the Holland Tunnel (and pretty hard to get helicopter aerial shots of cars going through the Holland Tunnel!) even if it is not the most direct route.

[Chateau d If]

Here is Google Maps to Washington Boro (where the ferry was in the 1700‘s) which is the western end of (Old) Blue Rock Road.
And that’s the limit of resolution they've got.
Here is GlobeXplorer’s image of the same spot.
Now! we’ve got resolution!  Zoom in a few steps and move along the road to the east.

I found a farm on Blue Rock Road from the yellow pages.

Meadow Lane Dairy
3392 Blue Rock Rd
Lancaster PA
17603-9499
717-871-9653

Here is that place.

Now we will have to wait to see if this is it.  There are about fifty farms along Blue Rock Road.


Here is Globexplorer's view of the Starting Line.

[Slowhatch]

Just saw the commercial with the Godlewskis talking about the bridge. I think G-Man has the best explanation: they wouldn't waste money on aerial shots and leave things to chance. In fact, to avoid puzzled New Yorkers  *(^, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear a voiceover of a racer reading the clue card: "You must use the GW bridge"...

Tomorrow on The Early Show, we'll have a sneak peek at the new "Amazing Race" family edition that premieres tomorrow night.

Star-Ledger Race Preview

The two-hour family edition premiere (tomorrow at 9 p.m., Ch. 2) starts in Manhattan and then stays in Manhattan, then stays in Manhattan again, then features a jaunt down the Jersey Turnpike (where the smarter teams stop for directions at the Vince Lombardi service area), then stops in Philly before a jaunt through Pennsylvania Dutch country.

This may explain the use of GW bridge to get out of Manhattan.

Okay here it is:

they have to buy hot dogs on 91st & Lex

And Schroeder completely missed this:

But right now, it's disconcerting that the highlight of the premiere was the sight of two former contestants handing out clues at the hot dog stand and looking increasingly dismayed -- either because they think the new format is odd or, more likely, because only one person recognized them.

Who are they?  Taking guess now:    Kevin & Drew

[puddin]
