CBS has a doubleheader the following weeks:

10/5
10/19
11/9
11/16
11/30
12/14
12/28

(I'm thinking the last TAR week that might get affected is 11/30 or 12/14- The last episode will probably be either 12/7 or 12/14- because the Survivor finale is always on Sunday, and that'll be either 12/14 or 12/21 probably)

according to the map, most of the country has the early game, so there should be no problems this week.

here's the link if you need to refer to it:

for the first time ever, they've given out a map of the course ahead of time- here's the link, as the pic is too big to post:

http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/09/26/amazingrace.jpg

And here's the pitstop locations:

Start-Los Angeles
Leg 1-Salvador, Brazil
Leg 2-Fortaleza, Brazil
Leg 3-La Paz, Bolivia
Leg 4-Te Puke, New Zealand
Leg 5-Siem Reap, Cambodia
Leg 6-New Delhi, India
Leg 7-Old Delhi, India (so I'm thinking Leg 6 is non-elimination)
Leg 8-Almaty, Kahazakstan
Leg 9-Moscow, Russia
Leg 10-Moscow, Russia (so I'm thinking Leg 9 is non-elimination)
Finish- Portland, Oregon

It's a shorter course by time (it took 23 days- most races go 27-30 days) and length (only a little over 30,000 miles). 11 legs, but not necessarily 11 episodes, as we might have an 2-3p uber-leg someplace...

I'm thinking December 14. By the 21st they will be deep into Christmas programming.

I'm going to guess they end at Wasington Park Rose Gardens.

Aw, I wish I hadn't seen that. I know it's public knowledge and all fair to post, but I really didn't want any foreknowledge of the race this time round. :-(

I'm way too excited for the new season to start...

1st show observations

Frat boys- were my pre show pick to be the funniest due to the redhead afro guy having a Seth Rogen look to him. The need to step up the funny

Bee hippies- what I expected, out quick

Divorcee chicks- really hope I don't have to listen to their divorce stuff thru out the race.

Cheating couple- they really edited the wife as <100>. Wonder if she was that way before the cheating

Terrance/sarah- in the start of the show the show him as a free spirit and her as the uptight business lady, yet he is the anal one. <100>

An 'Amazing Racer' panel has been added to this area. As a new post is made in each thread in this topic, the icon 'AR' will begin appearing on the message edit control panel where you can click on it to see the racers and then click on their picture to insert the names into your post.

Enjoy and let me know if you have any trouble with this new feature.

Sad to see Arthur and Anita the first to go, but when I noticed that they were not showing a lot of them, I knew they were gone.

None that I am not really liking right now. I'm really enjoying Mark and Bill. Terrence and Sarah are extremely sensitive, and wonder if they have been to too many self-help classes and couple counseling.

Dare I say that I'm afraid that Ken and Tina might be the next Jonathan and Victoria? But Tina the Jonathan?

Always love AR. So glad it's on again.

I think Terrence and Sarah's whining is going to get old... real fast.

I know Lexie. I almost fell over when they were showing next weeks show. When Sarah said of Tina and Ken "And they didn't even say hi!" LOL!

Oh yea, I forgot to say also. I really do like Dallas and Toni and Aja and Ty. I hope that the race doesn't mess with Aja and Ty's relationship since they are long distance. But they really seem to be enjoying each other.

Terrence seems like the needy and controlling type to me. I sense him getting increasingly aggravating as the show goes on.

"And they didn't even say hi!"

Maybe Sarah picked that up from BB10 Jessie -- not showin' respect.

Draheid:

Have you noticed that when you move the cursor over the AR button the help text displays “Insert CA Name”?
