Thanks for the correction on the Panama ballfield, Bobcageon! I've revised the episode 5 folder. There are a couple more iffy spots this week, hopefully someone can confirm or correct them.

Here we go with the stops from the sixth episode of "The Amazing Race - Family Edition" which aired November 1, 2005. Teams left Panama for Costa Rica where they travelled to the rim of an active volcano, a coffee plantation, beautiful beach towns, and a choice between a rainforest canopy or a banana plantation. They also found (and used) the first of two Yields for the season. Tasks were difficult this week and took a toll on the racers. As usual, details are in the placemarks.

The Godlewski family, who'd been deprived of all their money and belongings last week, begged enough money to get through and they recovered enough to finish fourth. The Paolo family once again finished first, winning their choice of a Segway, Vespa scooter, jet ski or all-terrain vehicle - one for each of them. The Gaghan family arrived last and was eliminated.







Note: when "Family Edition" was first announced and we saw the families with little kids, quite a few viewers sighed & groaned, thinking we were going to have a dull kiddie version this season (myself included). But the Gaghan kids were really great and showed a lot of spirit and competitive talents, and they were better behaved and more fun to watch than some of the obnoxious "adults" on some of the other teams. Carissa is only 9, making her the youngest Amazing Racer ever, and her brother Billy is 12 - they'll be missed.
