Amazing Race 8 Seeking Teams of Four

By Nugget on Sat Mar 05 2005 1:59 pm | 15 Comments 

While watching the Amazing Race 7 premiere off TiVo today I noticed a commercial in which the Amazing Race is encouraging families of four to send audition tapes to register for the next race.

Here is info from a recently held audition for The Amazing Race 8:

All types of families may audition: traditional, families in the making, blended families. Our description of family includes non-traditional families and families in the making. Some examples include an engaged couple paired with their in-laws-to-be or a blended family.

All four family members must be present at the open call.

Team members must be at least 8-years-old, and one team member must be at least 21-years-old.

Any team that has a minor (anyone under 18) must also have as a team member at least one of the minors parents or legal guardian.

The race is pretty taxing in pairs and in groups of four it would seem nearly impossible–especially with kids. I am interested in seeing the new concept though. I think it will be really funny seeing kids break down from the stress.

  15. You are definitely *not* at the right place. You have to go to the CBS website at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/ and check the forums for casting calls for the show. Even though the show has won a bunch of Emmys, I doubt that it will continue unless the ratings go up.
