Yeah, I wish it wasn't that long. Has this show still never caught on in the ratings or what? It always gets good reviews and was even won some awards, but I still feel like it's always seen as a "replacement" type show...like they fit it in when they can. Now they're even reducing the number of episodes a little. I was still surprised that they also cut the finale down to an hour last time as well. I guess, being a big fan, I still feel as though sometimes TAR doesn't entirely get the respect it deserves.

KC, I feel the same as you. I was not only disappointed that the finale was only one hour, but I was also disappointed that the first show was only one hour. It seems like the season before, the season opener was two hours.

I'd be happy if it wasn't on Sunday nights as well. It seemed to be delayed many times because of Football or golf, and if I wasn't home to catch it I missed taping some of it.

I can't wait!

Q: When is the next season of Amazing Race scheduled to start — or is there going to be one this fall? —KJM, Oklahoma

A: Looking at the networks' fall schedules, many familiar reality shows appear: "Survivor," "Dancing With the Stars," even "The Bachelor." But one is missing: "The Amazing Race."

CBS has aired two seasons of the race almost every year since the race debuted in 2001, and for the past five seasons, they've stuck to a consistent pattern of debuting a new season ever fall and spring.

While that won't happen this year, the show has not been cancelled. In fact, a 12th installment has reportedly already been filmed.

Instead, CBS is holding that race for mid-season, which means it could appear in January or February. In recent years, the show's ratings have slipped and wavered, averaging about 10 million viewers an episode for the 11th season last spring. However, the Emmy-winning show has consistently delivered high-quality television, excepting the boring family season.

To refresh the series, there will be a few changes: The race will feature younger contestants, and it will drop the non-elimination legs. That means that, unless there's an extended, super-sized leg of the race, someone will go home every week. —A.D.

Boy, guess once you hit a certain age you're not the right demographic for reality shows anymore. Sounds like diversity might be disappearing from TAR now too?? I sure hope not. I've been pretty turned off by Big Brother this season. I'm so looking forward to TAR! I hope that doesn't become a disappointment now too. :-(

Reality show staple "Boston" Rob Mariano came to blows with a reality show wannabe at tryouts for the new show he's hosting. "Boston Rob" in a new reality show? Get out!

In a video posted on YouTube over the weekend, Rob -- who has appeared on two editions of both "Survivor" and "Amazing Race" -- can be seen exchanging words with another man who throws water at Rob and then shoves him. After a minute or so of posturing, Rob throws two quick right hands to the guy's head and then has security take the guy away. Wicked tough!

The show -- called "Tontine" -- claims that it will be giving away "the biggest prize in reality television history" -- $10 million. Only one problem: it hasn't been picked up by an actual television network. Minor technicality.

And isn't Power of 10 (a show that's actually ON!) giving away $10 million?

I totally agree KC -- I do NOT want TAR to go w/"younger" players.

mods, can you make a TAR XII folder? I think the show website will likely go live in the next 24-48 hours, and we'll need to have it ready for the teams and such..

..and I will be doing a game for this, so stay tuned...
