Starts tonight, back to 2 member teams!

There's also a contest running this year - CBS is giving away a 5 day trip to one of the Race's destinations each week. I can't find the damn contest form on the site, though, so maybe it'll be there after tonight's show.

Yay! I thought the family version was boring... I stopped watching last season after the second or third episode.

I'm already loving BJ & Tyler (the hippies) and Fran & Barry (the "older" couple.)

Phil was on CBS This Morning today & he said that the fans really voiced their opinions about the family edition - they definitely wanted the 2 member teams back.

I think I will definetely have to watch tonight, 8pm right? It's very hard to follow a lot of shows to me, but I will try. I'm already addicted to Survivor, Big Brother and American Idol..I got into Prison Break, but missed a few and lost it.

The family shows lacked the exotic locations and really challenging tasks that we are used to seeing. I did enjoy the season but not nearly as much as others. Still, that show with the families was much better than most other reality shows.

Paula, I was just coming to post the same thing. I posted on the Stevie board awhile back that they begin in

Spoiler:
Red Rocks

(which isn't really that much of a spoiler since you can see it in the commercials....

Anyone interested in forming a league and playing the fantasy game on realiiity.com? I was just going to make my picks for tonight, but they've posted that it won't be ready in time and to check back for next week.

So, we have time, if anyone's interested. It's a lot of fun, and makes the show more fun to watch. You pick 4 teams to be on "your" team - and answer questions like who comes in first, who gets Philiminated, will a FF be used, etc. Once we get to know the players better, they'll add silly questions, like "Does so-and-so call his wife a beeyotch," etc. (Remember Jonathan? Oy! They loved to pick on him). You get points based on correct answers and your team's performance (whether they are smart/dumb, friendly/Ugly American, etc.)

Big Brother hasn't started up again yet. In fact, I haven't even heard anything about the next season.

I'd participate if we could get it going. Sounds like fun!
