The Amazing Race- Returns November 4th

[NotaGeek]

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!

I totally agree. Pan-handling in a third world country when you are part of a multi-million dollar television production was a horrible choice for the people running the show.

Hmmmm...If I ever saw fellow Louisvillians Kynt & Vyxsin on the sidewalk, I think I'd run in the opposite direction. (Much less let either one bring me my dinner!)

This looks like one of the most diverse sets of teams yet- should be a great season to watch!

Yeah, wow. It should be very interesting!

A grandson/grandfather team. That's a new one. I don't predict them lasting long.

I'm just happy to see Phil again.

I just found the premiere date here, and it's not until December 4. Grrr! I won't be able to discuss with you all yet again.

CURSES! The military TV is severly affecting our television friendship!

Phil is why I started watching the show!

I'm very happy for the return of Amazing Race, it is of my favorite reality shows, and replaced Survivor from my viewing schedule for the last several years. I will get back from China just in time for the start.

The teams look like they will be good, but I noticed that 6 1/2 of the teams are from CA.

Don't forget-since it's Sunday nights, during the NFL season the show may start late, and thus end late, so set your TIVOs, DVRs or VCRs accordingly.

Can't wait; saw the promo on Tuesday night!

Thanks for the reminder--I got burned by that a couple of times last season.

It does look like a very diverse group of people. I may have to put shades on to watch Kynt and Vyxsin! One thing I noticed is that they don't have any guy/guy best friend teams, as they have in the last couple of seasons.

Amen!

I really don't think I could have done this. They should have come up with some other way.

I'm happy to see the non-elim rounds gone as well - we hated cheering for someone to be last, just to get our spirits down when it was non-elim.

I can't wait - we love this show !

But . . . a few times non-elimination saved the team I was pulling for. So, I have mixed feelings. For the most part, though, I think I agree with their doing away with this part of the contest.

Counting the days!!

[DizneyRox]

If my memory serves me right, the non-eliminations were mostly the same shows as there were yields, no? Kindof really just created tension between the teams than a way to try to help yourself.

TAR is probably the best reality show on TV though, I agree. Although, Beauty and the Geek is high up there as well!

[T-Belle]

....begins tonight!! My favorite reality show!!

[Melanie]

Enjoy everyone!

[NotaGeek]

Enjoy everyone!

I wish you could be part of the race this year ... at least we can talk about it in December! I need to smuggle you the episodes...

"Donkeys have souls too"

That was he quote of the night. Good first episode and I am very glad that team got eliminated ... they were horrible to the Donkey and rude.

Me too! I was rooting for them to be the first team eliminated from the moment they lied to that Irish cab driver. Donkey karma did them in!!!

So early, but just based on that first episode I liked the brother/sister team that came in first, the goth couple, the Asian father/daughter team and the grandson/grandfather. Not digging the blond shopper women or the boyfriend/girlfriend team that also had donkey issues.
