I'll not divulge who I applied with, but I did send in an application. It was fun since I've only ever watched a single episode of the show (and so my boycott won't be much of a sacrifice).

Playing the game sounds like a grand adventure. Watching others do so, not so much.

Actually, I am thinking of applying next time with one of my World of Warcraft guildmates. One of the ones I've never actually met in person and we could do a videoconference to make the application video or something.

Video-conference? That's it. I'm giving serious consideration to creating a petition to have your geek card revoked. Something more like THIS is what you need.

Man, you have to have a serious "hook" to get on this show now!

The father/gay daughter team
The Miss NY/Miss CA team
The 3-legged Iron Man team
The recovering addict male model team
The gay cartoon character team
The over-achieving Asian brother team
Southern Hotness!

Frankly, I liked the Hippies from last time.

No we would definitely do some ingame video. But they also require actual video of us interacting.

I am just pleased that they seem to be going with an earlier time slot. Nickolas loves watching this with me, but 9-10 is pushing his bedtime too much. I never understood why it was on so late, but yet Survivor and Big Brother could both be on at 8.

Very pleased, and eagerly waiting to see this edition.

And, I'm happy that the teams are the greatest mix I've seen yet.

I'm actually hoping for an International Amazing Race, where there's a team from a different country...then maybe us Canucks can get in on the action!

I'm wondering how they're going to manage logistics in future versions with the increased travel restrictions.

In the meantime, I'll have to tape the episodes, thanks to football's move to Sunday. :rolleyes:

I know this is short notice, but...

If any SoCal locals are interested, I'm inviting you all over for a Amazing Race viewing party Sunday night.

PM me and I'll send you directions.

Whoo-hoo! I love this show! I never look at the team info until it airs - I hate spoilers.

I always have a team I love (Go! Go! Go!), one I hate (eliminate them NOW!) and one I love to hate (keep 'em for competition but don't let 'em win). When it gets later into the season and it feels like we "know" the teams, I am literally on the edge of my seat in suspense over the arrivals at the mat and even sometimes tear-up when teams are eliminated. The pride and accomplishment for some of the people is amazing.

I can't wait for the new season to begin. This is, hands down, the best reality show! (I even got NM watching last season and he hates reality TV).

Ok. No interest in a TAR10 party then... :(
