I like Amazing race and having Rachel and Brendon will help to make it more interesting. Also Dave and Cherie are from New Port Richey,FL where I live.

I just wish the station would stagger Survivor and TAR, so that at least one of them was on nearly year-round! I am sure that doesn't work with the ratings thing, but it surely would be nice for viewers!

Rachel and Brendan? Just shoot me and get it over with. I can't stand either of them.

I'd be very surprised if their fellow racers don't feel much the same!

Wow, sure does seem to be a plethora of all male teams this year. I'm secretly hoping that Rachel and Brendan do well and don't pull their usual nonsense (or at least Rachel doesn't). It would be nice to see them pull together as a team and be successful...they actually are both intelligent, athletic people so theoretically they could be successful...if they will just SHUT UP!

From watching them(Racheal & Brendan) do the competitions on BB they worked real well together. If they don't get caught up in too much talking they will go far.

From the top pictures, looks like there's 4 all-male teams, 4 male-female teams, and 3 all-female teams. Pretty good split.

I don't know....2 of the all-male teams look to be potential Alpha-male teams who steamroll through a lot of legs (like Andy/Tommy last season who won 6 legs, though in this format one bad performance can get you eliminated like they did in 4th)..

Oh no. There was a TAR ad on last night showing Rachel having one of her crying meltdowns. Here we go again! I still wish she was on this with Jordan instead.

Mixed emotions on this one......I can tolerate it if Brachel is OUT early. I never imagined that they would be on my tv screen again or perhaps that was just wishful thinking.

I saw a preview with Rachel and Brendan and she wasn't heavily made up and looked much better than she does when she has on tons of makeup.

I saw a preview that showed some of the past season's melt downs and then showed Rachel having one. Oh geez, this is exactly what I don't want to see! LOL. Has anyone else seen this ad?

Everyone has a breakdown on Amazing Race. It would be a shock if they didn't. They survuved.

yup, if it is not Brendon and Rachel having meltdowns, it could just be some other couple! There is always some teams that annoy me anyway, so I don't care that they are on.

I'm not really looking forward to one of her meltdowns (or anyone's for that matter). But I admit I am somewhat interested to see their dynamic outsided of a Big Brother atmosphere. If they can survive TAR, then their relationship just might be real after all.

I have not really watched TAR at all, but of course I'm watching it this time - because of Brenchel! I cannot stand them together, but love Rachel by herself. She grew on me once Brendon left the BB house (both times)I hope since this is more of a competition and not about being social they may not have so much drama.

For all you Phil fans that have Showtime, I just watched a documentary he did called "The Ride". He rides his bicycle from LA to New York. He's raising money for MS along the way and stops to visit with people. His wife, dad and friends all take part. Very entertaining! It's showing again several times over the next couple weeks.

Here is the link to the poisoned advance men for TAR and Whale Wars.. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/02/21/source-amazing-race-advance-man-dies-after-being-poisoned-in-africa/?intcmp=features&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D137307 Tragedy has hit a team in charge of facilitating challenges for “The Amazing Race” and other reality shows on the continent of Africa, a source close to the show tells FoxNews.com. At least two freelance facilitating producers were poisoned -- one fatally -- after a failed shakedown attempt, the source told FoxNews.com. FoxNews.com also spoke with a person who identified herself as a family member who said the facilitator who died was Jeff Rice. The family member said Rice's body was found in Uganda. Details are sketchy, but the source said that after refusing to give in to the demands of local thugs, Rice and another facilitator ended up very sick with poisoning of some kind. Rice was not currently working on “The Amazing Race,” but he had worked on Season 20, which premiered on CBS on Sunday. Rice had also worked on Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" and the South African version of "The Biggest Loser," along with several other series and television movies. A rep for Jerry Bruckheimer Films, the production company behind “The Amazing Race,” said that he had “no knowledge” of the incident. CBS had no comment. Facilitators are typically local people hired by production companies to make necessary arrangements with local officials before producers come in to shoot scenes for their shows. “The Amazing Race” features multiple teams of two competing in a race around the world to win $1,000,000 in prize money. The series became a sensation when it first aired on CBS in September 2001 and continues to be one of the network's highest rated shows.

I saw that article as well. I believe it said that the one who died was a freelance producer who worked on this TAR, but that this did not happen during the race.

I stuck the link/article in the TAR general discussions thread.. apparently there was a shakedown attempt involved. Jeff Rice, who died, did work on season 20.. I imagine we will see some mention at the end of an episode.

Thanks Puzzled. Unfortunately, there are so many questions that need answering. Like - how were they poisoned? Were they in a hotel room? Is it possible that the thugs had someone on the inside in "room service" to poison their food and drink? It really is a tragedy and absolutely none of it makes sense.
