Hey wait a minute, when did The Amazing Race return?

I could really kick my butt if I can physically do it! I have been missing so much on TV already. My weekends of catching up are never enough.

So many shows to watch, so little time to talk about it.

I did not even know TAR has a new season until I saw what was queued for my downloads today.

Darn it, that's one more TV show piling up on my list!

Please, please, please TV gods....grant my life the order and peace I deserve already. So I can go back to being a zombie, with nothing on my brain but TV mush...whee!

Meet the new team players of Amazing Race 13!

The racers are out!

CBS has released the photos and identities of racers for The Amazing Race Season 13. They've got the usual mix of best friends, long distance couples, dating couples, frat brothers, divorcees....and hippy beekeepers!

The show will begin Sept the 28th.

The Amazing Race 12 The Final Push

Congratulations, TK and Rachel! The nice ones do finish first.

It was a finale without the pointing fingers, the whining, the bickering and the shouting...much like the winners of this season. Although TK nearly (like .001% nearly) lost his temper, understandably, the situation was tense.

The older guys rocked that glacier ice climb thingie, who would've guessed? When Phil said Don was the oldest racer to ever reach final three (69 years old, is it?) I was hoping he'd also say Don's won a special prize. He deserves a special prize!


And this was bugging me the minute I saw Chris retrieve the clue --- how did they get one tiny clue cylinder into the cod's insides?

How hard was that roadblock? I didn't even try understanding what Phil said about it. That hurt my head.

Amazing season. Just Amazing.

The Amazing Race Final Three

Next week's finale of The Amazing Race poses a big problem for me. In a rare instance, I love all three remaining teams, I wouldn't know who to root for. Nate and Jen, the bickering couple I was waiting to bite each other's head off, was eliminated tonight. Which leaves Ron/Christina, TK/Rachel and Don/Nic to compete for a million dollars.

• Father daughter team Ron and Christina had some ups and downs (mostly downs from Ron) but even as that may be the case, Ron acknowledges his shortcomings and is learning to trust his daughter's decision more and more. That's probably why they are winning back to back legs.
• TK and Rachel, earlier saddled with a speed bump that could have possibly ended their chances tonight, made an excellent comeback. What Nate and Jen lacked (patience and the ability to enjoy the experience), TK and Rachel had plenty of.
• Grandpa Don and his grandson Nic is a team that's likeable enough, who wouldn't want to root for them? Besides, you've got to commend grandpa's resilience.

So, I would imagine next week to be the most exciting finale since the last 3-4 installments I've seen of TAR. But back to tonight, I've got one other problem. --- what the heck was Phil wearing?
