The Amazing Race is back........

[Mr Eagle]

SEASON 5 begins in America on July 6th. I'm already setting aside bandwidth for this baby

 

[Paulkanga2000]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear such great news.

Wonder when Channel 7 will screen it

Looks like i'll be looking at TWOP soon to see the new teams

I think us Southern Cross viewers will get it later then the rest of Australia. Oh well, I can't wait for the new series to begin.

 

[Paulkanga2000]

Just on the new series, according to a website i was reading there is a change to the format:

For non-elimination legs, the last team to arrive will have no money given to them for the start of the next leg.

TAR is the best reality show ever. Well, that and the Mole.

Geniune challenge for both. Not over hyped drama like some others. Geniune hype.


Geniune. My new fav word and I'm not even sure if I'm spelling it right. Hehehe.

bugger - did not want the frat guys to get eliminated

they were a scream

loved the line last week ...

move your fat ass

look who's callin who fat, you're a Big Mac off 260

GOLD

the guy wolfed down the food challenge today only to lose to the Guidos - cant help but think the poor tri-shaw driver couldnt manage their combined weight over the total distance

Team Guido sux - so "smarmy" I think is the phrase I am after - would have loved to see them go today

....

I wanted Drew and Kev to knock out Team Guido yesterday........

I think Drew and Kev should have done the ping pong and then they would have gained a time advantage. The fact they both did the same one was a big factor- mind you, if the taxi driver took D and K to the right enterance, they would have made it.

Many an amazing race team has been eliminated due to a dodgy taxi driver

New series of Race starting a couple of months in the USA!!

Ironic, considering that repeating this series is about the best thing they've done in years!

 

[screech]

hopefully they will repeat the other 3 series at some stage, only stated watching last series and i missed the final episode

Looking forward to the new one

 

[Paulkanga2000]

Well the first series is over and its was good to re-watch the first series.

Hopefully Channel 7 will show the 2nd series next sunday although it did say final in the tv guide today.

As for the new series all the new teams were supposed to be announced in the US on June 4 but nothing as yet.

Great ending to the first series- I hope they show the following series.

I really though Rob and Brennan were gone when it went to New York- obviously the inside knowledge did not work out. They won it by getting on that train- they won it there.

I was just happy team Guido did not win.

double ditto to that mate

I had a thought that the two new yorkers were just too confident on the flight - they needed to stay focussed on the game right to the end

as for Team Guido - I hope they got stuck in the snow for a lonnnng time.

 

[mongrelpunt]

Ahhhh Karma - gotta love it.

Guido's put that song and dance on during the race trying to block the other teams, but finished the race a full leg behind the others.

Not long to go now.

Interesting to note an a father-daugther team, twin sisters, 2 beauty contestants. models.

(Notice that they've gone back to 11 teams - so there's one less non-elimination leg again)

7 male/female teams
1 male/male team
3 female/female teams

So much for any Alpha males winning the day...they ain't in it! I think Marshall/Lance will be more like the Frats, or Ken and Gerard.

Oh this is classy...from Dennis/Erika's bio:
"Their relationship progressed and they eventually got engaged, but Dennis broke off the engagement after Erika went skydiving naked. As Dennis describes it, "I thought I was dreaming, but no, here comes my future wife floating through the air with nothing on but socks and sneakers and a naked instructor strapped to her back.""
