Season 8 was initially planned to be an All-Star season, the same numbered season as Series/Survivor. However, after seeing how Survivor: All-Stars ended up becoming bitter and personal, and wanting to avoid something like that happening on what was essentially a family show, the idea was scrapped and a radical idea was put in its place. Season 8 was billed as ''Family Edition'', where families of four could compete, and it would be the only season where children under the age of 18 could participate.
However, due to legal and insurance issues, teams were confined to the North American continent, which meant that the vast majority of the race was spent exploring the United States. Along with an accumulation of other issues such as an extra family being cut at the last minute, having to fit 40 contestants into a season instead of 22, an extremely large amount of non-elimination legs, the difficulty of most of the tasks being reduced dramatically and the emphasis being pulled off of the travel aspect and onto the characters, and you are left with a season many people consider to be the worst.
However, the cast was (for the most part) diverse and memorable, a step above other "bad" seasons such as Characters/TheAmazingRace6, and if you lived outside of North America the chances were you found something enjoyable about it.
