***Amazing Race 9*** Official Discussion Thread

I love that show and since I doubt I'll ever get to any of those exotic places they travel to, I live vicariously through the players.

Try to pick the winning team.

Can't wait. I will be excited to see the old format back after the family that was just crazy. I'm happy that the show is staying on tuesdays and not moving to monday. My monday is already jam packed and it will be more so once the apprentice starts.

I hope it is better than the family edition. I lost interest halfway through it. I do know someone who is dating someone who appeared on this season.

I'm so excited! TAR is our family's FAVORITE!!

 

[m&m's mom]

I have watched every season after the 1st one. It is completely my favorite show. Cannot get DH hooked though. He said all they do is race from airport to airport. Sure enough, whenever he walks through the room when I am watching they are either in a cab or the airport.
Fortunately my co-workers watch so we discuss on Wed am.

Yep, I’m counting down the days! I didn’t ever watch the family edition (it just didn’t interest me for some reason), but I’m excited about this season!

I have a tip for you!

This is what my DH and I do. We go to the website before the show starts and check out the teams and then we each choose a team. That is then our team that we root for through out the show. We also set a bet. Whose ever team gets further in the race, wins. What you bet is entirely up to you. Trust me you can make it very interesting.

Try it. It might give him a good reason to watch and then he might find he actually likes it.

I love The Amazing Race! I am glad that they are having 2 member teams instead of 4 member teams. I hope they go to a variety of locations. Dd keeps suggesting that they should have a pit stop in WDW.

Puffkin, did your ring come off?

 

[Kimberle]

Can't wait! I heard a rumer that they are starting in Japan this time! If it's true, should be good. Except for airport stuff, they haven't done Japan yet. I hope they skip India this time. I'm sick of India.

Just jumping in here - DH and I love the Amazing Race. We've watched every season. I wasn't sure about the family edition, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But, we are glad that it will be back in it's original form.

When the kids are older (now they are 6 &4) we want to go on it IF the show is still going... We sit there and figure out which road block we'd do and if one person had to do a part, which one of us would do it. Are we the only ones who do this?!

 

[Slacking]

The teams start in Colorado (Red Rocks to be more exact) this time around, but it looks as if Japan may make an appearance later in the race (probably towards the end)

I'm looking foward to this edition. After the Paolo Family left, last season became a bore for me. The cast definitely looks interesting this time around. Fran/Barry have my vote!

Also, remember after the 2 hour premiere, TAR will be airing at 10pm EST, an hour later than usual.

Oh no, why so late! I have a really hard time staying up that late.

 

[Desiree]

Just subscribing to this thread! I can't wait for TAR too! And I'm super excited this year since there is a contestant with the same name as me. (sigh) I cannot wait to hear Phil say my name!!!!

 

[glass-slipper]

Can't wait!!!

 

[jacksonsmom]

I can't wait either.
I was not too fond of the family edition. I am glad to see it back to "normal"

 

[tevagirl]

Survivor, American Idol and now the Amazing Race...... Reality heaven!
