THE AMAZING RACE new season

[treky]

who else can hardly wait for the next race? It starts Feb. 18th for those who don't know. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!:dance: :clap: :banana: party:

[80sTrivia]

I can't wait, either! :) CBS is being very tight-lipped about this season and not releasing very much information. Seeing that it's an All-Stars Season, it should be cut-throat and very exciting. I imagine Rob & Amber (well, Rob anyway) will be causing all kinds of trouble! :eek:

[treky]

I STILL don't know who won the last one. I asked on here, but noone answered me. So who was the winner?

[HuntingtonM15]

Tyler & James. CBS keeps a good archive of each season of all of their reality shows, so that info is always on their site. They have all the All-Star teams listed now as well.

[treky]

refresh my memory; which ones were they?

[Rachel3118]

They were the models.

I can't wait for allstars. I'm really glad Dustin and Kandice are coming back. It should be interesting to see how people have changed since their seasons.

[treky]

Dustin and Candace are coming back? Good; I liked them too. Also Rob and Amber; I know they'll be back too.

[Rachel3118]

You can see all the teams coming back on the CBS site

[80sTrivia]

The new season will start two weeks from tonight!!! :clap:

I finally saw a commercial for the new season on television today. I can't wait!

:)

I can't believe they started promoting it this late. It seems like for an All-Stars season they would want to get as much promotion as possible. Up until this point, mostly only internet fans were aware of it. They promoted BB: All-Stars almost 2 months in advance last year.

[Wings#1ShowPeriod]

I can't wait, glad its starting early February instead of late February or in March. I cant wait to see Charla and Mirna, Dustin and Candace should be fun to see.

[Rachel3118]

Now that I think of it I have barley seen an ads and most of them aren't very detailed.

[80sTrivia]

Just a quick reminder to all the fans that The Amazing Race: All Stars Edition starts tonight @ 8:00 PM EST on CBS!!!


:clap:


:clap:


:clap:

[treky]

I know; and I can't wait! I already have my DVD recorder all set up to record it since I'll be out tonight. Can't wait to get back home and watch it!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[HuntingtonM15]

How did everyone like the first episode? I'm loving it so far!

[80sTrivia]

I was disappointed that the premiere was only an hour! Aren't they usually two hours? At any rate, it was a blast!

:clap:

[tdf4077]

not a bad episode, but i agree that it too short.

i would love to go on that show!

[treky]

well; I just finished watching it and I thought it was great!
It's a good thing that I set my DVD recorder to record it up until 9:30 though, since it ran late. But I learned years ago that CBS almost always runs late on Sunday night-even when it's not football season. They never run past a half-hour late, though.

[Rachel3118]

I am loving it so far, It is nice not to have to learn the names of new teams and to already have teams to route for.

I forgot that the first episode is usually 2 hours. It didn't really bother me because the first hour wouldn't have been that important since there are so many equalizers. Usually the extra time helps us to get to know the teams but we already knew them.

[Wings#1ShowPeriod]

The best episode of TAR Ive seen in a while..

[80sTrivia]

Last night's episode was fantastic!!! It had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Of course, Rob & Amber are as competitive and cut-throat as ever!!! :eek: I'm glad Charla & Mirna were not eliminated... Charla is so brave and tough! I was a little irked with Team Kentucky... I guess Mary has grown so accustomed to other teams helping them out (The Cho Brothers from last season did a great deal for them), that she just assumes other teams are going to do the same, but this is All-Stars, baby! She really can't expect other teams to sacrifice their leads for them... "Amazing" episode!!! :clap:

[treky]

yes; it is a GREAT one so far!

[HuntingtonM15]

How did everyone like last night's episode? I'm still loving the show so far. I really love Dustin & Kandice, but wow...last night they were stupid. I couldn't believe Kandice actually said, "I guess there is no detour," after they had just completed the river rafting! I also CAN'T STAND Charla & Mirna. They are probably one of the most annoying teams who have ever been on the show. It was so annoying what they tried to pull with Teri & Ian, and they are just incredibly annoying in general.

[Corolla]

Amazing Race has started already? :eek:

This is coming from a fan too. When does it air? I haven't watched it forever. Not even the reruns I used to watch.

[The Great One]

Awesome episode sunday night!

[80sTrivia]

***Spoilers*** (for those who haven't seen last night's episode...)

I have to say, last night's episode had me in total shock! I couldn't believe that Rob & Amber were eliminated! It just seemed so surreal that Charla & Mirna beat them to the Pit Stop. I guess the Karma Police were on patrol! :lol:

I guess the Karma Police were on patrol! :lol:That was great. The best part was that every time they fell behind, it was completely his fault for being careless, stubborn and/or arrogant. I hadn't even wanted to watch this season because I find him so repugnant, but now I can enjoy the rest of the race. I don't think I even care who wins now - just knowing it isn't going to be them is enough for me.

[HuntingtonM15]

It was definitely an intense episode. I enjoyed it, though I didn't like the ending. I knew it was coming, because of a spoiler site I accidentally came across a while back :mad:. Each episode makes me hate Charla & Mirna more and more! I can't believe how big of bitches they are. If anyone has karma coming, it's definitely them!

[The Great One]

Great episode. It was a major surprise for me that Rob & Amber were eliminated! I thought they had the best chance to win the game.

[Lee G]

That was great. The best part was that every time they fell behind, it was completely his fault for being careless, stubborn and/or arrogant. I hadn't even wanted to watch this season because I find him so repugnant, but now I can enjoy the rest of the race. I don't think I even care who wins now - just knowing it isn't going to be them is enough for me.

Rob is OK, he's competitive and wants to win the race as much as the other racers do. I think he might have put too much emphasis/pressure on trying to stay in first place in the race, and it caused him to screw up. Choosing to put the sign together was the big mistake, it was the tougher task and wasted a lot of time. By the time they decided to do the other task, they had already fallen behind most of the other racers. At that point, fatigue may have become a factor and Rob didn't have much left in the tank. He didn't seem to be his usual exuberant self during the last part of the leg, they came in last and were eliminated. Charla & Mirna are not going to win the race either, I'll be glad when Phil tells them they are eliminated.

I will have to check out Rob & Amber's show on Fox Reality channel. He tries to become a professional poker player. The first season episodes have already been aired a few times, I haven't seen em yet.

[treky]

I recorded the March 18th episode, but because of thatSTUPID basketball game I missed the last 10 minutes.:mad: :mad:
So, which team was eliminated? I know that Dustin and Candace are curentlly in first place (I read that on the CBS website).

[80sTrivia]

Actually, Charla and Mirna came in first place, which was a total shock!!! :eek: They picked the easiest Detour task and beat all other teams to the mat, which is the first time the team has ever arrived first. Uchenna & Joyce arrived at the mat last; fortunately, it was a Non-Elimination Round, but they are marked for elimination in the next leg and have to arrive in First Place or face a 30 minute penalty!!!

I agree about basketball. I HATE when Amazing Race is delayed. Dustin & Kandice came in second.

[treky]

this show was delayed for 45 MINUTES last Sunday because of basketball!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: 45 FREAKIN' MINUTES!!!! Do you BELEIVE THAT???? Good thing my DVD recorder can fast-forward at5 different speeds, if I f-f- on the fastest speed I can go through 15 minutes in just 2 minutes.
Now, I've learned-I set my DVD recorder to run for 90 minutes. This Sunday though, since I'll be home I might just watch it. Either that, or set the recorder to go for 3 hours, since the show's gonna be 2 hours. Thanks for nuttin', CBS!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh, well, at least they don't preemp it.

[80sTrivia]

Last night's episode was fantastic! Some people may not like them, but I really admire Charla & Mirna's tenacity and spirit! I was also glad not to see Eric & Danielle eliminated... it will be interesting to see which teams make it to the Final Three!!! :clap:

[HuntingtonM15]

Some people may not like them, but I really admire Charla & Mirna's tenacity and spirit!

I'm definitely one of them. Honestly, how long can you go off about the blondes using a yield? I can see if it was used on them, but it wasn't! I'm sure it comes as a shocker to them, but the yields are a part of the game! With that said, this season would actually be pretty boring without them. :lol: I always find it better if there's a team that I love to hate.

[sugamama]

I can't wait to see who wins.. I like Charla and Mirna especially Charla because she has so much spunk. I also like the team with the 2 guys I can't remember their names.

[HuntingtonM15]

I'm pretty sure I know who wins, and if it's true, I'm definitely not pleased with it.

[Pentimento]

I'm pretty sure I know who wins, and if it's true, I'm definitely not pleased with it.If you do in fact know, it would have been nice if you could have put that in a spoiler box.

Mirna gets on my nerves at times but I've liked Charla since their first appearance in season five. It was great watching her scale the building and kick down doors this week. I wouldn't mind seeing them win. I also like Oswald and Danny. And Dustin.

[HuntingtonM15]

If you do in fact know, it would have been nice if you could have put that in a spoiler box.


It wasn't a spoiler...

[treky]

yes, please. I recorded the last episode and I hadn't watched it yet, when I read your post.
So; please do that in the future.

[treky]

so; who's everyones favorite team/teams so far? Mine are Charla and Mirna & Dustin and Candace.

and Mirna and Dustin aren't bad lookers, either:grineyes:

[HuntingtonM15]

yes, please. I recorded the last episode and I hadn't watched it yet, when I read your post.
So; please do that in the future.

What exactly is the spoiler here?

[80sTrivia]

***Spoilers for those who have not watched last night's episode yet***


I was sorry to see Oswald & Danny eliminated last night, but I did have a suspicion that's how things would end. I do think it's great that there are 2 all-female teams in the Final Three, and that the last team is one man/one woman. At this point, I will be satisfied with whomever crosses the Finish Line first. Dustin and Candice have been super-competitive, and if they haven't always played nice, they have played the game well. Should Eric & Danielle win, that would be great as well. Sure, they may have whined a great deal but they have kept coming from behind to stay in the race. Should Charla & Mirna win, I would be very happy as well. The editing has made Mirna seem to be a bit obnoxious, but you can tell she does love her cousin very much, and Charla is amazing. She's very tenacious and has never given up and if her team does win, it would be such a great statement to the millions of people who have a so-called disability that you can be a competitor and win! I'm looking forward to the finale next Sunday and I will be happy with the outcome either way!

Very well said!! I agree. I can not wait till the finale.

[Wings#1ShowPeriod]

Tommorrow is the Season Finale, I hope Charla and Mirna pull off the win although I wouldnt mind Dustin and Kandice winning it. Its going to be an exciting hour of Television tommorrow.

[treky]

well; by now everyone who watched the finale knows that Charla & Mirna, or Dustin & CandiceDIDN'T WIN!!:( :( :( and Eric & Dannielle did.:( :(

[80sTrivia]

I'm pleased with the results... Eric & Danielle were very tenacious and never gave up, coming from behind so many times, especially after being yielded TWICE! I do wish that they would expand the finale episode back to a two-hour time slot, because I feel two hours makes the finale more exciting!

[HuntingtonM15]

Well, unfortunately, the spoilers I found early on in the season were correct and Eric & Danielle won. As much as I disliked Charla & Mirna, I would have much preferred it if they had won. Eric & Danielle were awful the entire season, and so hard to watch. It's no surprise that they are no longer together.
