A Family Affair for Amazing Race

As if you didn't have enough of a reason to beat up your little sister. CBS News has announced the 10 families that will compete in "The Amazing Race: Family Edition."

Just don't expect "The Brady Bunch." Teams will feature only four people instead of the usual two, comprised of family members. Wonder if they'll split the $1 million prize with the family members cheering them on at home? Grandma who?

The teams include:

  • The Godlewski sisters from Des Plaines, Illinois: Michelle (42), Sharon (39), Christine (37) and Tricia (26)
  • The Weaver family from Ormond Beach, Florida: widow Linda (46) and her three children, Rebecca (19), Rachel (16) and Rolly (14)
  • The Gaghan family from Glastonbury, Connecticut: Bill (40), Tammy (42), Billy (12) and Carissa (9)
  • The Black family from Woodbridge, Virginia: Reggie (42), Kim (40), Kenneth (11) and Austin (8)
  • The Linz siblings from Cincinnati: Nick (24), Alex (22), Megan (21) and Tommy (19)
  • The Rogers family of Shreveport, Louisiana: Denny (46), Renee (42), Brittney (22) and Brock (19)
  • The Schroeder family from New Orleans: Mark (40), stepmom Char (39) and daughters Stassi (16) and Hunter (14)
  • The Bransen Family from Park Ridge, Illinois: dad Walter (51) and daughters Elizabeth (25), Lauren (22) and Lindsay (20)
  • The Aiello family from Mansfield, Massachusetts: dad Tony (57) and sons-in-law Kevin (31), Matt ( 31) and David (26)
  • The Paolo family of Carmel, New York: Tony (52), Marion (52), DJ (24) and Brian (16)

    The eighth installment of "The Amazing Race" premieres with a two-hour extravaganza on Tuesday, September 27 at 9:00 p.m. (EST) on CBS. The show moves to its regular Tuesday night, 9:00 p.m. (EST) timeslot beginning October 4. -- Rachel Cericola
