A Close Race to the Pit Stop Fuels Rivalry on the Next "The Amazing Race"  10/12/05

A CLOSE RACE TO THE PIT STOP FUELS AN INTENSE RIVALRY BETWEEN TWO FAMILIES, ON "THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION," TUESDAY, OCT. 18 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"Think Like An Office Chair" -- A close race to the Pit Stop fuels an intense rivalry between two families, on THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION, Tuesday, Oct. 18 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

The families depart from the Space Shuttle in Huntsville, Ala. in search of the World's Largest Office Chair located in Anniston, Ala. Teams will pass through the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the Talladega Motor Speedway, as well as Fairview Riverside State Park in Madisonville, La., in search of clues that will lead them to their next destination. The intensity of the Race takes its toll on one family member who has a breakdown on the way to the Pit Stop. Another team is paralyzed by fear and panics about whether or not to complete a task. Also, while their cars race side by side on a stretch of highway, one team shows their wild side when they "moon" another team as they pass.
