Welcome to The Amazing Race 8 HTF Challenge. Like in previous challenges, each person will get to pick one team who they think will win The Amazing Race. With only 10 teams this season, in an effort to enable more participation in this contest, I will be setting up 2 leagues, so each team can be picked by two people (one in each league) as the race winner and those picks will be first come, first serve. Then pick three teams who you think will round out the final four teams, and these three teams will not be exclusive per participant, meaning the same team can be added to any final four. Points will be awarded if your team is wins The Amazing Race, in addition to having any of your final four teams (including your race winner pick) finish in second, third, or fourth place. Since there is no jury like on Survivor, that can't be part of the point scale, so to replace that I will award points to any team that uses a fast forward or a yield on another team. The points scale is as follows:
First place (race winner pick): 25
First place (final four pick): 20
Second place: 15
Third place: 10
Fourth place: 5
Fast Forward or Yield: 3
Here is the list of teams, more info can be found at the CBS The Amazing Race 8 website, along with the general HTF discussion thread here. I'll list the team name on the first line, followed by each team member with their age on the next four lines, followed by a line with their relationship to each other and then a line stating where they're from. As each team is picked, I'll denote the selection with a line in bold print above the selected team and I'll add the rest of the final four alphabetically below the race winner pick as each selection is posted:

If you have a league preference, please let me know, or else I'll try to fill up the American League first. Also, please try to finalize all Final Four picks by 9 PM EST Tuesday.

Damn those Linz' are popular.  If Mr. Rogers had lost some weight or if the Bransen's had 3 blondes and a brother...
I'll have to go with:
The Aiello Family - American League
To fill final 4:
The Bransen Family
The Gaghan Family
The Linz Family
Updated With Final 4 |

Damn, only 5 posts to this thread, and already the two families I would have chosen (Linz and Aiello) are gone.
OK, I'll go with...
The Rogers Family - American League
Final Four:
The Linz Family
The Aiello Family
The Bransen Family
Not terribly confident about my team, but then I have my reservations about every other team that's not already taken. We'll see what happens.

Always bet on Black. (American league is fine)
Bransen, Linz, and Schroeder to round out the Final Four.

A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
We apologise for the fault in the signature. Those responsible have been sacked.
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
