The Amazing Race- Returns November 4th

[dw2649]

All right folks: Time to get those Tivo's ready. An all new season of The Amazing Race starts Sunday, November 4th at 8 PM EST/ 7 PM CST, replacing the now canceled Viva Laughlin, according to variety.

I have no idea when the cast announcement will be, but I am sure it will be soon. My Tivo will get the season pass as soon as The Amazing Race gets programmed into my TIVO (which might be a few days given that the announcement was just made this morning). Looking forward to another season. Who's with me?

I just hope the cast is better than it has been in the past couple of seasons. I'm tired of seeing other reality show retreads on there. Get original and give someone new a chance instead of the same ones going from reality show to reality show. They've already won money, give me a break!

Admittedly I've become a more forgetful in recent years, but I don't remember any "retreads" in recent seasons, with the exception of Romber on All-Stars. In fact, all I can remember at all is Romber and Allison from Big Brother. Were there others? Refresh my memory.

Anyway, glad to see it's returning so soon! Still my favorite reality show by far.

Man ya'll beat me to the post. I also read that the show will run two episodes shorter this season (boo) due to the fact that there will be no non-elimination rounds.

I saw that a while back as well, Janet. Yes, it's sad there will be fewer episodes, but I'm kinda glad they are doing away with the non-elimination rounds. The article I read went through all the seasons and it was interesting to see who would not have won had there not been the non-eliminations.

Melanie, I can't remember right now who all have been repeats besides Rob and Amber and
Allison but I also remember some repeats from the show itself, "All Stars"? Anyway, the point I was making is that I hope they have all new people on there and don't bring in people from other shows. It is more entertaining if you haven't seen the people before and know all their idiosyncrises (sp?). I have seen Rob and Amber on several different shows and want to say "Haven't you won enough money yet?"

I'm glad to see the non-elim rounds gone, too. I always thought they were sort of unfair, because you could bottom feed basically the entire race, catch a break or two with non-elim rounds, and then get lucky at the end and win.

Anyway ... good news. This is definitely my favorite reality T.V. show and I'm happy to see it back.

Good news! I've been waiting to hear when the new season will be starting. Cant wait!!

[SimbaandNalasMama]

count me in too! glad this will be back on. Of course, now i will have to program my other tivo to pick this up, since we record so much stuff!!

[ChipnDaleGal]

I am really looking forward to the Race starting up again!

I am really looking forward to the Race starting up again!

Agreed, Im glad its back.The Amazing Race is IMHO, The best of reality shows.

[Disneypixie513]

Yay! This is my mom's and my favorite reality show i think..Wow i read somewhere that it wouldnt start till sometime early 2008! But i'm not complaining..I kinda liked the non-eliminations though..Added for suspense for us..But oh well

[BriarRose0708]

Woo Hoo!

[dw2649]

My Tivo is programmed and ready to go!!!! I'm so excited i don't know how I am going to wait until November 4th.

P.S. Cbs has uploaded a video called The Amazing Race- Meet The Contestants onto Youtube. If anybody wants the link PM me and I'll send it to you.

[TheDuckRocks]

I'm ready!

[dw2649]

The teams are now up at CBS.com. Looking at some of the teams and the video that cbs posted on youtube (see my previous post for the info), some of the teams remind me of other teams from previous seasons, like Johnathan and Victoria and Don and Mary Jean(both from season 6).

[NotaGeek]

It's and interesting team mix, but just from glancing, I have a feeling that CBS is really looking for some drama. Definitely high energy and people that look like they might definitely be high maintenance to boot. You can check out the teams on the Official CBS website and see what you think! I can't WAIT for the race to start!

I can't wait!! This has been my favorite reality show. I haven't looked at the teams yet but I noticed on one of the commercials that there is a grandpa-grandson team. I will probably end up rooting for them, unless they are awful. I tend to like the non couple teams (like brother/sister and father/daughter). Only a few more weeks!!! Yay!!!

I kind of liked the non-elimination rounds...it adds suspense. But, I will be happy to see that no more contestants have to pan-handle for money in a foreign country. I always hated that!
