This last episode was a boring map-reading and driving test.

Something tells me you'll see a lot of driving. I don't think they'll be flying anywhere. Next week is Florida, just down the I-95 corridor. All they'll have to do is hit I-95 and head south (inevitably 2 or 3 teams will not handle that based on last night's struggle with maps).

Anybody notice that this season all the team are from east of the Mississippi (well, depending on which part of Louisiana the Schroeders and Rogers are from)? Makes me think there will be at least one more "Family" season with families from west of the Mississippi who will tour all the western points of interest.

Once they do a Celebrity Amazing Race, I'll stop watching but not until then.

BTW: Did you notice the Gaghans are from Glastonbury, Connecticut? Laura Ingraham's home town?

Anybody with guts want to call in and ask her who she is rooting for? As if she watches the show...LOL!!

Definitely noticed. As you say, a Western family edition might be in the works. But I don't care. As you know, hattend, I was TAR's #1 fan from the start, but now I'm bored and ticked off that they've wrecked the show. I don't want to listen to families bickering nor to watch Interstate scenery, I want foreign travel to exotic destinations, bungie jumping off tall buildings, and airports--lots of airports.

The minute shows reach top ratings and establish a loyal fan base, the producers stick it to the fans by hiring crappy writers, cheapening the product, and generally throttling the goose that laid the golden egg. This TAR belongs in a Saturday afternoon time slot.

Yes, I noticed too. Remember last year they came to Birmingham and I really would have liked to try out, but my kids are way too young. :) I think they took yours, mine and Veto's idea about a race around the U.S. Do you suppose they read these threads? :)
