CBS PICKS UP "THE AMAZING RACE" FOR ITS 11TH SPRINT AROUND THE WORLD The Current 10th Edition of The Four-Time Emmy-Winning Reality Show Averaging More Than 10 Million Viewers in Its New Sunday Time Period CBS has picked up the four-time Emmy-winning reality series THE AMAZING RACE for its 11th edition to be broadcast this spring. THE AMAZING RACE 10, hosted by Phil Keoghan, premiered on Sunday, Sept. 17 delivering 10.13 million viewers, 4.6/10 in adults 25-54, 3.9/09 in adults 18-49 and 3.1/09 in adults 18-34. This was the best delivery for any AMAZING RACE broadcast in viewers since Feb. 28, 2006, in adults 25-54 since March 21, 2006, in adults 18-49 since March 28, 2006 and in adults 18-34 since March 14, 2006. THE AMAZING RACE 10, part of CBS's new Sunday lineup which includes COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE, has helped boost the night in viewers and key demographics. THE AMAZING RACE 10 features 12 Teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each Team competes in a series of challenges -- some mental and some physical -- and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first Team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million. Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Television and Earthview Inc., in association with Touchstone Television and Amazing Race Productions. THE AMAZING RACE was created by Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri.

I hope this is the right place to put this. If not, mods, can you kindly remove and place appropriately? thanks! From Entertainment Weekly's Popwatch blog -- November 22, 2006 Will you watch an all-star 'Amazing Race'? According to this morning's Variety, CBS is planning an all-star edition of The Amazing Race for its upcoming 11th season. While there's no final word on which former Amazing Racers made the cut, the cast is expected to include reality veterans Rob and Am-buh, their nemeses Joyce and Uchenna, as well as David and Mary.

I won't mind seeing David and Mary again (and seeing what they've learned about the Race and how they adjust strategy). Romber, on the other hand, I've seen enough. I enjoyed them the THREE times before -- but four is just too much. Bring back the Cha Chas! Bring back the Frat Boys (Kev and Drew -- the Original Frat Boys)! Bring back Chip and Kim! Just leave Rob and Amber at home!

If it's true that David and Mary will be on all-stars with Romber, I can't wait to see any interactions they might have. Different ends of the human spectrum of attitude.

Good lord. Seriously, I am so tired of Rob and Amber. Really, I can't say here what I think of these reality TV "persons"!

I'd rather see Rob and Amber than David and Mary. At least Rob and Amber will race. David and Mary won't last long without someone to drag them around and give them FF's. I'd kind of rather see neither of those teams again right now (although I thoroughly enjoyed Rob on the other TAR). In fact, I'd kinda rather they did a regular race than an all-star one, unless they would just use teams that got eliminated 1st each time. Or how about a "celebrity" TAR? Only use decent celebrities instead of the ones on the Surreal Life.

Definitely agree w/you, Nerovh -- just a REGULAR race is the best idea!

Well, I guess it was inevitable that TAR would have an "All-Star" edition, since Survivor did it & BB did it. I'm disappointed, though. One of the things I enjoy about these shows is getting a whole new group of people to figure out each time. IMO the problems w/ the "All-Stars" is that 1) the contestants all know each other, 2) they form pre-show alliances, and 3) the shows don't necessarily choose the best (which is what all-stars means to me) from each edition. I might enjoy a race w/ the 1st, 2nd &/or 3rd place teams of each season, because at least then they would assumably be equally matched, and that could be fun to watch. Fortunately, I can only remember a few of the past teams. Unfortunately, most of them were the obnoxious ones. Oh well, I know I'll give it a watch, but it just isn't my preference.

Why - with an award winning show!! - does TAR keep trying to "fix" what isn't broken??? I hated the family edition, and All Stars doesn't seem like a good idea to me either -

I like all stars. I like knowing the teams right off the bat. The first few weeks of a regular season there are so many teams or people and so many of them we never get to know because they are eliminated early. And I'm tickled pink that Romber will be back. It will be interesting to see if other teams hate them or if they realize their skills in the race and try to work with them. I do wish the hippies were coming back.

And I'm tickled pink that Romber will be back. LOL I like how you put that! I would really like to see them back as well! I do wish the hippies were coming back. Me too! Except I don't think they will be. Oh pooey!

there are rumors that not all of the teams will be All-stars...one of the rumors has Reichen and Lance Bass as a team, and another has a former Racer and a former Survivor contestant as a team...

I heard that somewhere too, Wilsonatmd. I don't think it's right to call it "All Stars" and have people on it who have never been on before or have teams that weren't teams before. If they can't come as they were originally on then they should be on it.

I'm not buying the non-TAR folk running TAR all-stars. It just doesn't make sense. I know TAR is constantly trying to fix what ain't broken, but to cast contestants on an all stars who never ran the race to begin with is just too far fetched for me to believe. TPTB are saying that there was overwhelming fan desire to have TAR all stars, and that's why they agreed to go ahead with it, so having non-TAR folk would essentially be a slap in the face to the people they say they're doing this for in the first place. I highly doubt we'll be seeing Lance Bass or a Survivor castaway on this season of TAR (well, minus Romber, of course.)

I honestly have ZERO desire to see Lance Bass and Reichen race. I don't think it's right to mix non-racers with former racers when there were reportedly other former racers (Chip/Kim for ex.) who did not get a chance to participate. I can take or leave Reichen, but I don't think it's right that his SO gets on the show because he is famous, thus taking a slot away from former racers who wanted to come. In fact, Chip/Kim are one team I would have liked to see again, if only to see Kim actually DO a roadblock.
