Does anyone have any news on a new Amazing Race? Will we be getting another one anytime soon?

I wish I knew! I've looked around a little online, but didn't find any info. I just got excited seeing a new post here. Thought maybe that meant it was starting up soon again!

This article was from February, but it's the most recent info I've seen. I think it will be a while, maybe it'll be a summer show? AR XIII update ~~~ An Update on 'The Amazing Race 13' Sunday, February 24, 2008 Even though CBS announced that they've green lit a thirteenth season of The Amazing Race, that doesn't mean you're going to see it any time soon. Since, prior to the writers' strike, CBS had planned on only airing one edition of The Amazing Race in the 2007-2008 TV season, the late call for The Amazing Race 13 means that we won't be seeing the next season until late Spring, at the earliest. The Amazing Race, given the incredible amount of footage taken, is an arduous series to edit. And, season 13 hasn't even started filming. Semi-final casting on The Amazing Race may still be going on. The final cast isn't set to be decided upon until February. It's been stated that CBS and The Amazing Race team have been scouting locations this month. By the way, I want that job. Amazing Race Location Scout. "Hmm, let's give Italy another look." It is expected that filming will not begin until March or April, and after that, who knows? I'm not all that familiar with Race's post-production schedule. This all means that if you were still waiting to hear from The Amazing Race about your application, I'm sorry to say you didn't cut it. There's always next year. The Amazing Race 13 is expected to film in the spring of 2008. For more information, visit the CBS website. ~~~

Amazing Race would be great summer viewing! I just hope that they don't decide to hold it over until next fall. I still don't like the late start due to football season many weeks.

Didn't they do this during the summer a year or two ago? I love having something fresh and fun (besides Big Brother--oh, yeah, I said fresh and fun!) to watch during the summer. Please, please, please!!!

From what I've read, they've chosen the cast- and we're probably looking at a April 20th start date (someone found some ads for loggers and camera people for that time frame- they also mentioned April 7th for prep work, then April 20th for the "main crew"- i.e. the Race itself) We're probably looking at a September airdate.

I knew you guys would appreciate this: I'm going to a conference for work and Phil is going to be one of the speakers! I'm going to get to see him in person! I'm going to have to get there early and try to get a seat up close. I get to see the Phil-eminator!

LOL Kookliebird. I've heard that people on the street often ask him to "Phil-iminate" them. Kitt, I work in the IT field, so I think this will be along the lines of a motivational speech. I think he's going to talk about his NOW philosophy (No Opportunity Wasted).

Sounds good, Brenda. It's interesting to hear what he does outside of AR. Wish I could gate crash!

In the spirit of No Opportunity Wasted..... Ahem, Hey Brenda. Seems like I remember you were either from my state, or currently live around here. So, um......can you bring a guest?

Sorry Whoami! I just saw this. I've been "gone" all week attending the conference at the Denver convention center. I had a line a mile long wanting to be my guest, but no such luck. I got my picture taken with Phil, had him sign his book for me. I was so star struck I barely said a thing. I told him I was so pleased each time TAR won the emmy and asked if they'd be back on in the fall and he said "I sure hope so." His talk was very entertaining. I'll try to post a summary later. I have a photo but I'm not sure I know how to post them.

How to post a picture: 1. Get the picture and save it under a different name (so you don't over-write the original). 2. Downsize the picture in a photo program so that it is about 500 pixels wide (or at most 600 pixels wide) and save it as a medium quality jpg (or a 5 in some programs). Hopefully, that will get it to less than 60k in file size. Save it again (under a new name if you haven't already). If it isn't less than 60k, save it again at a lower quality or make it smaller. 3. Click the upload attachment button (right next to the Preview/Post Message button), find your image and select it. 4. Click Upload to upload it. It will upload it and put a code for the image at the end of your message 5. You can then move the code to anywhere in your message so the picture appears where you want it to in the message. The file size has to be 60k or less or the board won't let you upload it. Also, if it is more than 600 pixels wide, it will make the thread too wide (and that makes a lot of people unhappy). Hope that helps! ------------------------ Or you can take Whoami up on that nice offer!
