Amazing Race Season 8 (2005)

Here Come The Awful Weavers.
The so-called Family Edition of The Amazing Race is much derided amoung the show's many fans. Since all the locales remain within The United States, I can understand how U.S. viewers would be quite ho hum about the whole thing.
Those of us outside the U.S.,however, can find plenty of interesting sights and sounds to experience during this 8th season of the race.
If nothing else, fans can follow the truely awful Weaver family who manage to alienate pretty much all the other contestants and indeed most viewers as well. No mean feat.
Each and every episode is followed to see them get their hopeful comeuppance. Whilst they seem to pray for divine intervention at every turn or leg, the viewer also hopes for the very same divine intervention to see their deserved end.

Still one of the best TAR seasons!
While many were appalled by the idea of a Family Edition and a season of TAR with almost no international travel, season 8, especially in hindsight still stands as one of the best and most exciting seasons.

The cast of 10 families featured more distinct personalities than a lot of other TAR seasons with memorable personalities like little Carissa and Billy Gaghan, the youngest people to ever Race, the outspoken Paolo family (who provided one of the most hilarious moments at the Mat ever), and the "villains" you loved to hate, the Weavers.

The route may have been too domestic for many fans, but traveling through some of the most iconic locations in the United States was different yet equally exciting, showing that you don't have to travel far to experience stunning and breathtaking destinations. And while this was a Family Edition, there was no lack of competition and drama.

TAR8 is definitely worth checking out if you never watched it or is worth...

I love this show. The quality is fine and I didn't have any trouble playing these dvds in dvd player or computer.
