Something to pick up the summer doldrums for Amazing Race fans and others bored with vapid tv fare.

The Amazing Race (TAR) for those who have not watched, is an around-the-world race run by teams of two. Fun and amazing contests are held along the way in what amounts to a sort of uber treasure hunt, with the winning team collecting a cool mil. Even if you don't care who wins, it's still a really interesting travelogue. Good family fun. Enjoy!

TAR fans, silent jonny volunteered to take over the Amazing Race thread for the next new season, coming in the fall. Please join me in applause.

I'm not sure that the summer season merits an ongoing thread -- you think? Keep this one going if you wish.

I won't be able to join the Freeper TAR fun this summer, if indeed there is any, as I'm cable deprived and also tearing up my haus 24/7 preparing for my own new season in a new career.

I have been watching the first season on GSN. It is interesting, although even with tonight's 1st season finale I know who is going to win.(I looked it up)

The first season of Survivor is going to be on OLN starting tomorrow. Survivor went down hill since.

Is this a good time to mention that Rob and Brennan won the first season?

First season wrapped up Saturday night and last night was first eppy from Season Two, complete with TaraWeasel (I thought the Guidos were bad until these two jerks showed up!).

My still favorite moment from Season One - SWING YOU FAT BASTARD! SWING!!!

I'll skip Season 5's repeats until Jonathug's elimination. I can't watch that creep a second time (although it will be worth watching just for the fabulous Gus and Hera and the beer hall).
