Woo hoo! I have really missed AR. The family edition thing was a total wash-out for me.

OMG!! Thank you! I can't wait til it starts... off to read the bio's

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

Hooray! I love AR! February is my reality show heaven - Survivor, AR, Beauty and the Geek...so much reality tv, so little time! I'm telling you, the argument for Tivo grows...

 

[ColoradoBuffaloMom]

I'm so glad it is back!

 

[DisneyCP2002]

Hooray! Let's all because this is my favorite reality show.

 

[mommaU4]

Yeah! I love that show!! DH and I always go throught the bios and pick teams that we think will win and then who ever's team gets the farthest wins what ever we decide to bet.

I won last time because I picked the Linzs (or whatever their name was) and they actually ended up winning the whole race.

Of course, I also have a secret crush on Phil (the host) but let's not mention that.

The CBS site still has the Linz's....no sign of AR9(unless I'm missing something!

 

[nomie74]

Yeah! My very very very favorite show. I was just wondering when the new season premiers. Thanks!

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

The CBS site has been updated for AR9.

I just read the bios .. not sure of any early favorites for me yet, but BJ and Tyler just look like they're going to be a hoot!! To me they look like (highlight this after reading their bio because I don't want to influence anyone else's opinion) Wayne and Garth: the later years .

Thank you for posting this! We love The Amazing Race. I look forward to this season because I enjoy having 2 member teams instead of 4 member teams. We're looking forward to the show!

[Rhonda922]

What?! Oh my goodness, I didn't realize AR was coming on again so soon! YAAAH!!!! That is our favorite show (next to Survivor). Thanks for the heads up. I'm so excited.

I had no idea. I was interested in the family twist but I am glad that the original format is back.

Bring it on, but no Weavers please. Some people think you need a good villian, but they were too much to take.

 

[Dismom+two]

Yeah!! DH and I really love AR. We look forward to watching!

 

[Annette_VA]

Woo hoo!! I can't wait for the new season to start - with the old format!

The Feb 6 issue of TV Guide has a sneak peek on the show. Here's what it says.

The Race is on. Again. Only, when the new season of CBS' Emmy award-winning The Amazing Race kicks off February 28, the 11 globe-trotting couples will find that producers have raised the stakes, replacing last season's family friendly sights with exotic stops to make this, once again, a truly amazing race.

"[The Amazing Race 9] will be unique, one of the longest we've ever done," promises executive producer Bertram van Munester, noting that this edition will travel 70,000 miles in 28 days through five continents, including stops in Russia, Sicily, Greece and (for the first time) Oman. Last season's show barely left the States. "This one also has a lot of good laughs and some sexual tension, more than ever," van Muenster says. "There's some stuff going on between the teams" which, he hints, could involve best friends Danielle Torchio and Danielle Turner, a pair of recent college grads from Staten Island. Among the other teams van Munster suggests keeping an eye on: "The older couple," retired MASH surgeon Barry Lazarus and his wife and assistant, Michelle; and best friends tutor BJ Averell of Los Angeles and filmmaker Tyler MacNiven from San Francisco.

"These people have a lot of fun," van Muenster says of his new racers. "There will be a lot of outrageous behavior"
