Amazing Race Family teams finally get on a plane

The Amazing Race 8 finally forced its teams to travel via plane. They had to fly all the way from Washington Dulles to Charleston, South Carolina, an epic journey.

After a detour, teams were forced to endure being driven for eight hours in a charter bus. This was too much for the Weavers, who insisted they felt like prisoners and then had a meltdown at the Waffle House, the likes of which those employees probably haven’t seen since a half-hour earlier, when a hungry PCP-addled person sat down for some waffles.

In Alabama at the space center, the teams had to confront a daunting roadblock: spinning in a centrifuge, also known as the Gravitron, just one that was operated by a person with all of her teeth and a family tree that branches.

Finally, they had to race—on foot!—to get a final clue and to the pit stop. There, the first-place team won free gas for life from BP, which BP may be regretting about the time that gas prices reach the $10/gallon mark.

Whoever says this race is a watered-down version of the normal race is a liar.
