Chateau someone needs to set 1st Degree Black Belt straight out at Sucks ]*]

I'm not Buying this for a second

Here's the information:

1. The race does leave North America and goes to Europe and South America.
2. In Amsterdam, one of the teams has a bad bicycle accident. "Bad" was the adjective that was told to me an hour ago and I didn't ask anything further. The desciption seems to sound like the bicycle accident involved the Linz team in some way, but my source isn't 100% sure which team.

I don't think that fits into the 11,000 miles. I haven't checked. But that's just because it's so wacked.

So, Puddin! make your guess who sells the hotdogs at 91st & Lex

Ellen Gray | A 'Race' to our city

THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION. 9 p.m.

tomorrow, Channel 3.

PERHAPS the most amazing thing about tomorrow's two-hour premiere of CBS' "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" is what you won't see:

Contestants scrambling to find the nearest airport.

In a twist that makes the show, which just won its third Emmy, look like the "see America first" edition, "Race" instead has its first-ever four-member family teams navigating the streets of Manhattan and heading down the Jersey Turnpike toward Philadelphia.

And then pitching their tents on Fairmount Park's Belmont Plateau.

Host Phil Keoghan sounded, well, amazed when I suggested Friday that Philadelphians might regard this as the show's kids-don't-try-this-at-home moment, then assured me that "everything that takes place on the race is tested" beforehand.

He also suggested the jet-free start was more a matter of changing things up than pampering the younger contestants (the youngest is

, noting that his own 9-year-old daughter, who flew for the first time at the age of 2 weeks, is "the toughest traveler I know."( awww)

And speaking of tough girls, "one of the most satisfying things for me was to see that at a certain point in the series a 9-year-old girl goes screaming by a 40-year-old man with a rather big ego," Keoghan said.( the Gaghans pass the Aiellos in the Buggy Roadblock)

Still, "having kids there definitely affected how we laid out the race," he said, noting that they were, for one thing, restricted to shooting during the summer, so that the younger contestants wouldn't miss school.

"We don't want to be responsible for the dumbing-down of American society," he joked.

Two of the show's families turn out to hail from Louisiana, and "Race" will acknowledge Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in much the way it previously mentioned the tsunami relief efforts, Keoghan said.

As for the families themselves, "I've been in contact with them and I do know [that they're OK] and that they've actually been looking after each other," he said

It's minmum 12 min up to the GW bridge area. I had to stick in an address to get Google to make the route. The teams would not need to exit the parkway to city streets. They could swing right onto the GW.

The minimum of 12 minutes from 591 Broadway to the GW bridge is Mapquest time. At noon on a Thursday (July 7) it probab ly would take 12 minutes just to get to the West Side Highway. But it now looks like they may have to go from lower Broadway up to Lexington and 91st Street (thats Yorktown and Little Germany) Who are the New York teams that could be the hotdog vendors? Didn't we have a Pizza Parlor brothers team? From there it would make more sense to go across the GW bridge rather than back down to either the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel.

Ottopart , thats fine you can post whatever you want , all help is appreciated :<(

On the Early Show , mainly Phils focus was on the Schroeders and their house in NO.
Then some video of their house .
Harry asked who we should watch out for ..
He talked about the Gaghans , Godlewski sisters & the Aiello's .
They showed the Gaghans passing the Aiello's & the kids cheering mom on .( cute )
Nothing spoilerish ..

This should be fun tonight seeing the ten teams in large GMC SUV's trying to maneuver through the streets of a crowded downtown New York City during the middle of the day July 7 (Thursday)!! Gridlock is normal at this time of day especially in the crowded narrow streets of SoHo. It should be real fun to see the Weavers from Ormund Beach, Florida, the Godlewskis from Des Plains, Illinois and the Rogers from Shreveport, Lousianna seeing what is like to drive from Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge across lower Manhattan to the sporting goods store at 591 Broadway. Then across Houston street to First Avenue (one way north) to 96th Street and then across to Lexington and 91st Street (Nathan's Famous Hot Dog stand?) with the two Pizza Brothers (?). Then back to 96th street, across town to the West Side Highway and then north to the GW Bridge. By the time they fight through twelve lanes of heavy truck traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike and then make their way to the Washington Crossing State Park all the teams must be exhausted. But according to TV Guide all the teams make it here by 3:45PM. Not bad times at all.

Maybe in a few weeks, when the numbers have dwindled from 44 to, say, 28, and the contestants have gone somewhere that requires a passport, it'll be easier to tell whether the family idea should be repeated in the future.

44 people = 11 teams. Hmm! *(^

It's been spoiled on another board. It's Ken & Gerard handing out an early clue. The result of this is that I'm going to want to turn off TAR Family and break out my TAR3 tapes and enjoy them instead.

Puddin, where is this article?

I hope they gave them stick-shift GMC trucks! That should throw them a loop right at the start!!

A coffee shop, pizza place, and a YMHA across the street. Ken lives in Manhattan, so maybe it was just a convenient spot.

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
