Tomorrow CBS This Morning is going to have a segment introducing the teams for this coming season. Not sure what time that particular segment will air, but the show is on from 7am - 10am.

I'm a huge fan, I was addicted to last season! Hopefully, this season will be just as exciting. I actually want to be on the show... I think I'd do OK... as long as I don't have to eat something gross. :laugh:

Thanks for the heads up, Paula!

Has anyone been watching the A.R. reruns on GSN?
I didn't start watching it on CBS until the last episode of Season 3 (which is running now on GSN, and I think will wrap up either tonight or tomorrow night), and I enjoyed it so much I made it a point to watch Season 4 from the beginning.

Anyway, it's been really cool catching up on the seasons I had missed. And I LOVE that it's on every night... waiting from week to week can be killer sometimes.

But the downside is that I'm going to be so spoiled when the newest season begins on CBS.

Is that queen Reichen on the GSN episodes yet? :laugh:

Reichen's episodes will begin around Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Season Four.

I rooted for him and Chip every step of the way. Was nice to have a cool gay couple to cheer on. Too bad his dreams of fame eventually got in the way of his relationship.

I couldn't stand him and Chip. :lol: They were as annoying as Adam ("I want my mommy!") and Rebecca.

I posted a hilarious article about Reichen soliciting some guy on MySpace, did you ever read it? So damned funny! And I loved the pics Perez used to post of him in his bathing suits. He was airbrushed within an inch of his life, but he's still got a pretty face.

I love the Amazing Race!!!!!!

I watch it every season. I'm hooked!


I've always wanted to be on the show, too. They've never had Team Chiffonhead before? Can you see me and my teammate playing tambo for the orphans, running to the pitstop singing Stand Back, and wearing nothing but black? I'm a shoe-in! :xoxo:

[skcin]

^ OOOH! I'll be your teammate! Unless, of course, you have someone else in mind... :cool:

I watched this morning from 7:45am until about 9am & didn't see anything - it's done at 9, not 10 like I had previously posted. Maybe it was on really early, while I was still in bed refusing to get up. :shrug:

BTW, Johnny Stew - I keep trying to catch reruns on GSN, but I always tune in at the middle of the race & have no clue what's going on. How do I know when another season starts on GSN so I can start watching it from the beginning? I just started watching the Race this past season & I'd love to catch old eps.

[ontheEdgeof17]

It's Family AR this year. 10, 4 member teams. This season might suck. I don't want to hear whiney kids. :rolleyes:

But tonight will be the two-hour finale of Season Three, and then the two-hour opener for Season Four will air on Wednesday at 9pm and 12Midnight.

It runs 7 days a week, so they've been flying through the seasons pretty quickly.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to start watching tonight. :thumbsup:

Curtis - I think this season could be really good. I think the kids had to be at least 12 (or was it 16?) Either way, I assume they can't be that bad if they're going to Race.

BTW - Found out yesterday where the final pitstop will be - do you guys know? Do you care to know?

[Livia]

I LOVE AR!!! I play the AR fantasy game on realiiity.com. It's fun and makes the show even better - you pick teams and answer questions and get points... If enough people here are interested, maybe we can form our own league - I like Curtis' name - Chiffonheads!

Yes, tell us where the final pit stop is! Spoiler info helps to get more points!!

OOOH! That sounds fun! I'll do it!

SPOIER! Here's where the final pitstop is:

























Niagara Falls (can't remember if it's US or Canada, though.)

Thanks Johnny - I was able to catch the start of season 5 (?) last night on GSN. I already despise the models. Not sure about the NFL wives either. Please, no one tell me how this race ends. Thanks.

I must say I chuckle every time I see the caption for the young couple: "dating 12 years/virgins" :laugh:

I think you'll come to like the NFL Wives. I wasn't sure about them at first either, but after the first couple legs, I started to like them.

I must say I chuckle every time I see the caption for the young couple: "dating 12 years/virgins" :laugh:Ah, Chuck & Millie.
I wonder if Chuckie's gotten any yet! He was a cutey. :D

I don't know how good this season is going to be if there's a bunch of kids involved. I'm normally rabid over this show, but I think this might be cause for concern. There'll be kids, people!!!

I know! Some as old as 9 years old. I can't deal. I hope they are not whiney. ...And 4 ppl on a team is way to hard for me to keep up with everyone.

9 years old? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yikes, I'm giving this one a trial episode and if it stinks I won't be shocked. Or watching.

I hope they are not whiney. ...And 4 ppl on a team is way to hard for me to keep up with everyone.I can't imagine kids being any whinier than some of the "adults" they've had on the show (Will, Flo, Colin, JONATHAN)... I'm more concerned with the amount of members per team. I'm never going to be able to remember who's who and who's with whom.

Kids, blergh. Me and my friend wanted to apply, then I found out you needed four. She has a daughter, but....
yeah...
although I think JS might be right, some kids have to be way better than some past contestants.

Hmm, you make a good point...past contestants have been pretty intolerable in their childish behavior. The again its WAY more fun watching adults act like children rather than children act like children. And that's awesome that you were going to try out! Have you applied to anything else?

No, we just both wanted to go on that one. We wanted to travel all around, and solve problems. We're both smart, and my friend speaks spanish, and has traveled, and whatever, and we make a good planning team. She's logical and nice and pretty, I'm logical and althletic and whatever, we just work well together. She has Stevie's birthday...( :laugh: )
Ha, no, I'm not a reality TV whore, or anything. We just loved that one, and thought we would do really good on it. When we were watching, we couldn't believe what some people didn't know, and how they tripped out while traveling, and all that.

Who's the team all in orange, that seems to have two fathers?
When I read the bios, it didn't seem like there were any gay parents (not that there HAS to be, I was just curious if there would be, since AR is usually pretty diverse).

Nope. 3 brothers and a sister.

[Johnny Stew]

Nope. 3 brothers and a sister.Ah, ok.

In that pic, at least, the oldest brother looks just a little younger than the dad.

[skcin]

Ooooh! I want to orange team to win already. Because they're wearing orange. :nod:

I'm halfway through season 5 (?) on GSN (God bless Tivo.) I don't hate anyone, for some reason. Oh wait, maybe the models. Millie The Mole & Chuck are kind of annoying too (as is the ever present "dating 12 years/virgins" caption every single time they're on.) I think Reichen is hot as hell too.

How the hell am I supposed to keep track of all these ****ing people?

[DavidMn]

This is the one reality show that I could bear to watch. why are they doing this gimmick and adding kids? :distress: I mean the show isnt hurting for viewers is it?

It's season four; season five is with Charla and Mirna ("I just got electrocuteeeeeeeed!"), Chip and Kim, the twins, Colin and Christie (gag), Team Jesus, etc. In other words, BEST SEASON EVER. :D

I loathe Chip and Reichen. I wanted to smack both of them. Though Reichen is pretty to look at.

Meh, the ratings have never been fantastic, but they were good enough. Doing a family version is just too much for me to bear. I can't imagine having to watch all these kids running around and screaming like miniature versions of Jonathan and Victoria. Eek. Some of the Philiminations are going to be priceless, though; picture all of these already whiney and cranky kids being told that they've been Philiminated. Ha ha!

The only bright spot that I can see for the new season is Phil himself. At least I'll have him and his huge bulges to comfort me.

Thank God, I haven't seen any other seasons yet & I was hoping I didn't miss the one with Charla. :p

Though Reichen is pretty to look at.

Yup. I'd do him.

[skcin]

FYI - the season with Charla & Myrna started on GSN last night.

PLEASE, may I remind everyone, that I haven't seen any seasons except Uchenna & Joyce and Reichen & Chip winning. No spoilers please

I already think Myrna's a weirdo. :shrug:
