Figured since the teams have been announced, this is a good thing to start..

The press release says that the team that wins the first leg will get a new "game-changing advantage"...anyone want to speculate what that could be? (and there are no spoilers on it, so it's not on that thread)...

My guess? Maybe they get a "Jump the Line" option they can use once- which moves them from whatever position they finished the last leg in to the front of the pack- say starting them 30 minutes ahead of what would have been the first time to leave...which could be very handy if they came in last on a non-elimination leg- and we don't know when (or if) they would use it...

I am limiting myself to "meeting" four teams a day! First, to make the fun last longer; second to hopefully be able to have them sorted out by the end of the first 90-minute show!

I may be wrong, but this is the very first time I can remember hearing fears of terrorism and unrest as they travel. Have I just missed it heretofore, or is this a new issue to be brought up?

What are you talking about TNT? Are you referring to something you read?

Yes, the fears I read expressed in the racers' bios - just don't remember reading such before -

I try to read a few a day so that my aging brain has a shot at keeping folks straight!

This one really snuck up on me - didn't realize it was starting again soon, or that they already had the teams up. Love this show.

OK, I'm way irritated. I've gotten used to the fact that we Canadians can't watch the full episodes online, but this is the first season ever where the "meet the teams" videos have been blocked from the CBS site. Stupid.

I cannot wait!!
(Well I could not sit through the whole Survivor opener this season it does not attract me. I do feel for the older group and Jimmy he is a joy, always smiling I cannot watch as he deflates each week.

It is not fun this season.)

Oh Trini, I have a feeling you are going to be sorry if you don't watch Survivor this season.

Okay, we need players in the Philimination Game.....

In seasons past, we somehow formed teams. You can join the proven winners - the WhoDats or you can join the pesky Pajama People. OR, you can just play as an independent.

We have a good time playing and it certainly enhances the TAR experience. So, come join us!
