May the best team win!
Cool. I have watched every season. I am not big on the reality shows but this one just does it for me.
Hoping they will soon do a "Celeb Amazing Race" or all previous 2nd place couples to determine the best of the almost best.
Geeze, a gay couple and a mom/gay son team? C'mon CBS, that's old hat! Where are the transgendered couples? /sarcasm.
Good analysis, but I'm rooting for Rob & Amber.
I'll put my money on Ron and Kelly. Iraq Vet and Ms. SC. That is a 'made in America' team if there ever was one.
I have never been able to watch this as I work nights, but it is my 28 year old daughter's favorite. She insists that the two of us should give that thing a shot... hehehe... then she told me horror stories of what she was saying she thought we should be trying. Ha! From what I hear there are many "family feuds" publicized on this show. I think ours would be right in there with the best. LOL
I would like to be able to watch and see this from a beginning show. I hear so much from fellow FReepers that I know it would be fun... so ya'll just watch vicariously again for me. And I'll hear the details from my kid as she tries to convince me of all the reasons "we" should do this. Ha!
Ping, starts next Tuesday.
Read the bios, lol.
If you want me to remove your name, please FREEPMAIL me. Ditto if you'd like to be ON the list.
With thanks again to jreimer who's been the official TAR keeper of the threads in the past. I hope I can do half as good a job.
Still think the first season was the best, with no models, no actors, no contestants from OTHER reality shows. I'll never forget the frat brothers - "Swing you fat bastard, swing," and Mom and Emily. And that finish! Supposedly Season One is coming out on DVD. Check it out!
If you've never seen this show - it's one definitely worth watching, if for nothing but the locales. Although YMMV, to me it deserved both Emmys! (Mark Burnett must be seething!)
Thanks for trunning the thread for this new edition. Jriemer has done a great job in the past and I am sure you will do a fine ob.
I love the show, and just when I think it's a stale setup, they go to new, cool places and have new psycho cases like Jonathan & Victoria.
I still hope to see in the news where she gets a small fine for killing or at least severely maiming him.
Wneighbor, I hope you and your daughter get on the show. There's an application form at the CBS link. Meanwhile, why don't you tape it or have someone do it for you. It's such a fun show, and educational too, with lots of info about other parts of the world.
If anyone wants to be on the ping list, please let me know by FREEPMAIL.
You want to be on this list? Big fun ahead.
I'm already on the list, I just saw the thread before you pinged.
I like Rob and Amber or the POW.
Don't count on a celeb edition. According to an article on JAM! out of Canada, season 8 of TAR will be a family edition, with 4 members per team.
Sorry, it's just my damnyankee accent.
If you have an Amazing Race pinglist, add me to it.
Please no-one yell at me... but of "Uchenna and Joyce", which is which? To me, both names sound like female names.
I never pick who to root for until I've seen the first episode, but looks like I've got a couple contenders for root-against.
