The eighth season of The Amazing Race, which is due next fall, will be a family affair.
In its biggest wrinkle yet, the show will pit fewer, but larger, four-member teams of relatives. But not just Mom, Dad and two kids: Applicant teams can consist of siblings, three-generation families, even engaged couples with one set of parents.
"We're really looking for strong back stories," such as an estranged but newly reunited family, host Phil Keoghan says.
All racers must be 12 or older; at least one per team must be 21 or older. Race 8 will be filmed this summer, during school vacation.
"Putting families out there in this format will bring a completely different dynamic" says Keoghan, who will begin a cross-country casting call in early spring (applications at www.cbs.com).
A ninth season, which returns to the original format, is scheduled for early 2006.
