It's about damn time.

 

Judging from the team profiles, I like Jon and Al. They're real life, honest to gosh clowns.

Ok, now I'm going to be counting down the days, since CBS has made it official.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Asshole.

Smart move as well, moving it into the Survivor slot. I always thought that alternating Survivor and TAR would be a good idea, but then, that's why I'm not a TV exec...

 

Based off the bios, I think Debra and Steve (token old married couple) will go first.

 

My final three are Millie/Chuck (the virgins), Reichen/Chip (token gay couple) and Dave/Jeff (best friends)

They're my pick to be this edition's ChaChaChas/KennyG. Thank goodness they're not mimes.

 

Reichen and Chip will probably be the team everyone roots against. They look to be pretty strong.

No, I'm thinking it's going to be Debra and Steve. They look hyper-annoying just from their profile.

 

Five days to go.

Man, I loved Amazing Race last season, until the insanely horrible ending of doom. Stupid Flo.

This bears repeating one more time...

 

Shut up, Flo.

I'm hyped for the new Amazing Race too. Should be great.

Are we going to use this thread for the actual show? Because that would kick ass.

 

Three days...

I will be, anyway...I'm planning on testing my writing skills with a weekly recap.

Aww crap, why not on Wednesdays? I am way too busy on Thursday to be able to watch it. Bah.

I think it makes sense to alternate it with Survivor. It was getting killed by the Bachelor and hopefully gets a boost by being in front of CSI and by CBS dedicating 8pm Thursdays to "must-see-reality-TV".

Yeah, it's still crap that Flo won, but Zach deserved every last bit of his $500K (less taxes)...

Heh, I work Thursdays until ~9:00, so I'll have to tape it every week, but I will watch it.

 

I wish I had Tivo.

Thursday is fine by me, since I don't have Smackdown in my area.

 

My favorites, undoubtedly are Steve & Dave (the air traffic controllers) and Jon & Al (the clowns/best friends).

 

Anyone care to create a pool for who wins this show? I'm sure we can get a poster to represent each team.

Well, how do we manage to work that one out? We can't exactly draw team names out of a hat...

We could do a first come, first serve thing. Or maybe a draft? Of course, it depends on whether or not enough people are interested in it.

90 minute premiere tonight. And I predicted a while back that Debra and Steve would be eliminated, but I'm now adding a rider that Steve then chugs beers at the checkpoint...

I'm quite surprised that they did...

 

CORTINA!! Beautiful, beautiful place...

LOL...glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. This team is like a cross between Flo from last race and Wil from the race before.

 

Air Traffic Controllers are dead. That's a real bad place to blow out your knee.

 

And why must Millie and Chuck be labelled "Dating 12 Years / Virgins?"

I work for an airline, so I'm rooting for those two to do well. They won't win, but still I'm pulling for them.

 

I'm thinking that Millie and Chuck have no problem with their virginal status, so it's fair game...

The overweight married couple never had a shot.

 

My favorite part of the show were the NFL wives getting screwed over twice.

 

the nerd and his dad look to be my favorite team right now.

 

The virgins have been together for 12 yrs. Either get married or end it. Maybe Chuck is really a closet homosexual. Or not. Just throwing things out there.

There's no way Monica and Sheree will last three more rounds. They made the stupid decision to use the Fast Forward when they were in no danger of elimination, and they still only got up to fourth.

 

Favorite teams for me: Steve/Josh, Jon/Al, Steve/Dave.

 

One observation: People are way too nice so far. The only mean thing was Josh screwing over the NFL wives, but he made up for that later. I hope it gets nastier.

Yeah, but that's typical for the beginning of the Race, since they really don't know each other. The NFL wives should bring the drama for a while, though.

 

Ordinarily I'd say the models would be next to go but even they aren't so dumb as to not try for the Fast Forward, so I'm thinking that the air traffic controllers are gone next, although I hope that I'm wrong.

Bah! Forgot to tell my sis to record. Uh...anyone want to give some kind of vague recap?
