They did an Amazing Race Family Episode about 5 or so epidoses ago. They stayed mostly in the United States with one excursion to South America. It didn't seem to go over very well.

Agree these were all hilarious... Tina was a riot, Kelly and Christy are kind of airheads, Frat boys are the next to go, and Terence woo hoo!! I bet a lot of teams would have been out once their boat broke down, as they wouldn't have jumped in there to paddle. I wouldn't have!

Hi all...While I am no fan of Terrance and Sarah I would like to chime in on the whole speeding penalty issue.The precedent for this was set way back in season two,episode four.Two different teams,Chris&Alex(frat boys/winners) and Gary&Dave(nerds/bffs) were given penalties for speeding en route to the pit stop.There was no ticket involved as it was the African Bush(Namibia) but they were turned in by their respective cameramen.The penalty was 30 minutes for speeding and 12 minutes for time gained,Terrance and Sarah did not receive the second penalty for time gained as they sat at the side of the road,the penalty for speeding was the same 30 minutes.The point is that a penalty for speeding has always been AT THE START OF THE NEXT LEG,so the rules have not changed...Hope this helps.

Please do not do another "Family edition" of TAR. I watched it because I am a fan but I was really glad when it was over.

you know that everyone has to stay back for 30 minutes, why are these two any different?I really don't think it is fare. Lets bring back the two who got kicked off and put these two gone. I think that is fare.That is like cheating. Are these two suppose to win this race, I really hope not. They are very RUDE and if they do win, I WILL NOT watch anymore, ever.

I actually think it's unfair that Terrance and Sarah were penalized I didn't know there was a penalty for receiving a speeding ticket.Tae and Adja were far behind the other teams, but due to editing they looked closer than they really were, if you noticed it never showed the time their plane landed so it wouldn't have made a difference.But penalizing Terrance and Sarah at the mat at that moment or on the next leg would be the same difference.Tae and Adja wouldn't have caught up, editing just made them look like they were in contention.So it's really unfair to Terrance and Sarah to receive a penalty.

It was totally unfair! the comic book best friends got their penalty right there. It could have made a difference. Besides, that dude is sooo annoying, i need attention, i need respect, i need you to tell me i doing a good job, i need, i need, i need! geez already grow a pair and man up. Its cool to be in touch with your feelings but this guy is on the rag 24/7.

The 30 minute penalty wouldn't have changed the order of finish, given that, whether the penalty is given at the end of this leg or the beginning of the next makes no difference. They usually start 12 hours later right? Say they get to the mat at 7 pm and have to wait 30 minutes before check in til 730. the next day they start at 730 am. OR they get to the mat at 7 pm and check in, and the next day they start at 7 am but have to wait until 730 am to go. Its a wash

I think T & A were close, bc they were there with the Frat Boys fishing. The editing does take a lot of time away from what is really going on.I agree with everyone about Terence & Sarah. From the first episode he rubbed me wrong. I dont know verbatim, but he said something to the effect that, he was tired, and Sarah should have been attending to him rather than getting to know the other teams. Not to mention his attitude towards her, ugh, I want to slap him but really hard.I hope Dallas and Toni win or Nick and Starr, I have no other faves left. I had liked the nerdy guys. I was ticked that they didnt read the penalty correct.

It was totally unfair, since one other team was penalized and ended up eliminated the same rule should have applied to them.

LOL- i feel the same way! altho i am hopeful that they DON'T win, it would b really cool if they're standing on the winner's mat and sarah turns to him and says something like: "fyi terrance- u may be a winner on TAR, but ur a major loser u big ol' cry baby. i'm dropping u like a bad habit!" i think i would pee my pants. ah, it's ok 2 dream, right?

All I know is, I want Toni and Dallas to win for all of us Moms who love our sons so much that we would do the Amazing Race with them. My son is only 11 years and I'm 45. We want to do the Amazing Race so badly we can hardly stand it. I hope I live long enough to be able to do this race with him one day. Go Team!!

Hopefully Terence, what a whiney b**ch. I've never been so annoyed at a couple, though it was a hilarious slip when he asked Sarah "Whose my girl?" and she said "you are!" Though I would like to add I was so upset with the crew on AR in India, I will lose all interest & respect if this show becomes "Fear Factor" with the dangerous tasks they have to perform. That festival, as Ive seen in person, is much kinder and fun. The dye is thrown up in the air mostly and somewhat at others, usually avoiding the face. So either they were told to throw the dye in the contests faces, or there was no control over the situation and I felt bad for the contestants. I didn't think that was fun to watch or interesting....just dangerous.
