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? :)
They possibly do have somebody reading these threads, it's probably more active than CBS's own BB style webchat.
I don't mind the Family season, I like the US only but like Veto! said, there is no action. Sling some people into the Potomac on a slingshot, Fly a hang glider at Kitty Hawk to look for a clue, drive a NASCAR car at Daytona (with the little Gaghan daughter at the wheel!)...and airports! Lot's of airports!!! heheheh
