Here we go with the 10th episode of "The Amazing Race 8 - Family Edition" which aired November 29, 2005. The placemark folder contains details of each stop, although a few of them were tricky to find this week.. I gave up completely on one. As always, please post any corrections here or send to me via PM.

Teams were still driving their SUV/camper-trailers from last week. They traveled around northern Utah (oddly backtracking to a couple towns they visited last week) and then headed into Wyoming. They rode hot air balloons, did some old-time "working on the railroad", watched Old Faithful erupt, and worked a mini-cattle drive. There was no pit stop so nobody was eliminated - we go into the next episode with still four families remaining.







Once again, "due to a production error involving camera equipment" this week the Linz family's car battery was drained, delaying them and putting them in last place at this point. This was the second such "production error" referenced this season - the Godlewski family's vehicle's battery was similarly drained by production staff last week. It's highly unusual for reality tv that such things would be mentioned on the show - unless they'll end up being a factor in the final results.

It's interesting that these downloads are dropping week by week - what does that mean, if anything? BTW when the series wraps up I'll combine all weeks into a single GEarth file.

(anyone else finding it funny that the other teams keep referring to the Godlewski sisters as "the desperate housewives" every week? That show airs on ABC )
