Yay! I'm so excited for this to start and really happy to see Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother on there! I hope they go far!

[Ian]

On 11 teams this year?

On 11 teams this year?

They essentially only had 11 last season with that lame elimination to start the show.

Hmmm ... for some reason I thought it was more. Why did I think they had like 16 teams?

Maybe I'm confusing TAR with Survivor.

[NotaGeek]

Possible fun teams ... any time I see "Dating/Models" -- I know that the girl is going to be absolutely annoying.

The Cowboys might be fun ... it will be nice to see them deal with the travel aspect -- 2 good ole boys from Oklahoma having to deal with, oh, lets say the crowded streets of Mumbai? AWESOME. lol!

I miss having a funny, campy gay team in the race ... we need some good one-liners!

[Melanie]

Maybe I'm confusing TAR with Survivor.

Must be. I just looked back, and all TAR seasons have begun with either 11 or 12 teams.

Jordan from BB might give us some good ones, but she probably won't think it's funny.

[KarenP]

I quit watching this show but will definitley be watching this time to see Jeff and Jordan. I just love them!

[brownie]

All right!

[c&d]

Cool, I love this show. I did a quick look at the teams and it should be interesting to watch.

Yeah I checked, too, and saw the same thing.

Old age is just brutal.

Just looked at the teams and their bios. The cowboys look like they'll be a hoot and the grandmother/grandaughter team will be interesting to watch too. The first thought I had when I read about Caite Upton was whether they would send the constestants to South Africa during the race because, of course, they can't send her to "the Iraq". (Sorry, she's probably a very nice girl, but I couldn't resist.) And there's another contestant that speaks fluent Mandarin. What are they odds that that will come in handy this year again? And Ian, Steve (from the Steve and Allison team) sounds like he would be of particular interest to you.

Can't wait for this season to start!

Listen up you young whipper snapper! Just you wait, you have no idea.

[In my dreams]

I can't wait. Amazing Race is the only reality show I've ever committed to
( other than one season of A.I. and that was awhile ago) LOL

[Ian]

And Ian, Steve (from the Steve and Allison team) sounds like he would be of particular interest to you.

Yeah, that cat somehow managed to get himself fired from a team that had just won the World Series.

That should tell you something about his chances in the game.

[Hammer]

Reality shows like this and Survivor are like nails on a chalkboard to me. I've tried to like them, but it doesn't stick. I'll probably watch the first episode just to boo Steve Smith . The Phillies won the 2008 World Series in spite of him being one of the worst 3rd base coaches I have ever seen!

[Granny Jill A]

I love the Amazing Race. It's the only way I'll ever get to see the world, and I love trying to solve the puzzles along with the contestants.

Yay for a new season......

[NJDad]

And with football season over, shouldn't be delayed as much (although March Madness will mess with the schedule, and I'm sure it will be delayed some once in a while for college hoops or whatever).

So, as always, set your tivos/vcrs accordingly anticipating the show starting late once in a while.

[pixiesmimi]

Strange that they would choose to air this just as the Olympics are beginning. A little bit of competition.
