I'm a hardcore TAR fan - I've watched every season religiously and buddy of mine and I plan on trying out for the next season that it's back to two-person teams again. We watch not just for the enjoyment of the show/competition, but to plot & strategize what we would do in a similar situation.
I'm not sure how long the teams with little kids will fare this time around, but the best quote of the night came from the adorably cute and precocious little girl after her family completed the Amish buggy challenge. While their folks pushed and pulled the buggy whole time, she and her brother got to ride in it, without actually 'doing' anything. Her brother made a point of thanking his parents and apologizing for not being able to help much in the challenge, saying "I'm sorry I wasn't much help." His sisters' response to that: "Get used to it, dork!" It was classic! I don't think her family is long for the game, but as of this moment, she's my favorite racer.
BTW, if'n you want to read the most entertaining recaps of this show (or many others), check out Miss Alli on Television Without Pity

Oh, and if you're in my neighborhood around 9:00 on a Tuesday, stop by and watch with us!
