CBS' reality hit Amazing Race will open it's 8th season on the 27th of September with a new twist -- a FAMILY EDITION!


Teams, competing for $1 million, will be composed of 4 family members. "Half of the teams should have at least one contestant younger than 18."

"The kid-friendly contest, which includes fewer non-elimination episodes, did require certain concessions: Over the 30-day race, filmed mostly in July, teams traveled 30,000 miles, far less than the 72,000 traversed by teams on the sixth season. And more family-friendly, less-crowded locales were chosen. "
