I do not like the Italian family from NYC. I did find it rather amusing that they were the ones who got lost in the city. My husband and I would have done well on that leg of the race. He's from North Jersey and knows his way around NYC pretty well. And once they started heading to PA, I knew exactly where they were since I drive that all the time to visit the in-laws.

They are actually from Carmel NY, which is about 2 towns over from me (im in CT) and it is New York State, so alot of people from around here don't actually drive in the city.
Carmel NY is about an hour away from NYC, so they might not actually go that often.

I just watched the show tonight on my DVR, and I was so excited to see kevin and drew, as soon as I saw them I recognized them and actually felt bad that no one else did, (except the one kid) they even told someone their names and still weren't recognized.

Im thinking the flying won't happen until they get rid of some more teams, maybe to make it cheaper to buy plane tickets? (Just my theory)

Here is an article I found about the family that lives in New Orleans:

I stand corrected...I just found this on the Bio of the Paolo family:
Tony, 52, is a sanitation worker in New York City.

I guess they should know the streets of NYC LOL

Hi fans,


Looking forward to tonight's show. My son, 9, was routing for the Black team and he finally watched the videotaped show last week and was sad too to see that team go.


Will chat again.

I think he said thought that he works in the Bronx. NYC is a huge place and they struck me as people that did not visit SoHo too often! In fact, I was asking my husband if he would be able to find SoHo from Brooklyn, and all he could say was that it would be "downtown" somewhere! And we are in the city all the time.

Very True, I go to the city often (take the train, im not driving there!) and I have no clue where SoHo is.

klj27,
You should really remove your post as to who is winning on the online betting, last year someone posted a link to an article about the very same thing, and it told that Uchenna and Joyce were the winners and some of us looked and were mad at ourselves for doing it since we were spoiled....I know a lot of folks here don't want to know that (Me included) and now I know by reading your post...could you please edit the names out of your original post?
If someone wants to click on the link and get spoiled then that is on thier own head, not yours

Just a friendly FYI before too many people see your post and get angry.

Hey Cheryl!
Good to see you too!
Can I come on your cruise with you???

Does anyone know if CBS is rebroadcasting the episodes on a different night on CBS or on GSN -- I think this was done in previous seasons. AR is my daughter's fave show, but 9:00 is too late for her and we don't have TIVO and our VCR no longer records.

wow awesome!
Unless it is the last two weeks of July im out, I have to take it during our company wide shutdown....

rkrivas,
I looked on GSN.com and it looks like they are only showing Season 7 right now, but maybe someone else might now if CBS is going to re-air it.

(you need a TIVO I couldn't live without mine!!)
