this weeks TV Guide has a big article, including some info on leg one....it is different I'll say, but it's interesting as well.. (BTW, if you're playing my game, you will get a BQ correct if you read the article because of info in it)

Maybe with the cost of gas, they cant afford to fly people all over the globe this time lol! I agree with BB and Rock Star INXS over... I am glad that AR is back on! I am not a Survivor fan though... (please dont beat me for that one lol!)

The title alone for episode one makes me not want to watch it. I have it set up to record, but I just don't know if I'll really watch it. I hate the family idea, I really do.

Kittyab- I'm right there with ya. Don't like survivior. Watched BB & Rock Star. But the real show is just starting! By the way I found this funny take on reality shows on a sort of a satire,humor, pop culture blog: http://www.randomshelf.blogspot.com You have to go down a couple of entries to (reality)Tv entry. It had me laughing.

Not1worry: I agree. I love TAR, but there's something about the family version that leaves me with a nagging feeling that I'll be sitting out this season.

TAR is my fave reality show. The family thing doesn't thrill me much either, but at this point I am still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, those kids just may end up being the more mature contestants, considering how many adults have behaved in the past. Besides, if they can't hack it they'll be gone soon enough.

I'm giving it a chance because TAR is one of my favourite shows, but I don't like the family idea at all. UGH! For crying out loud, the show has won the Emmy three years in a row, they are finally finding their audience and then they go and mess with it.

aw..come on...give it a chance!! Change isn't always a bad thing...LOL Gotta say, I LOVED the commercial for TAR where the kid fell asleep in the back seat and fell over when the driver turned a corner...all while the announcer's voice over was going "are we there yet?"... I'm all set to enjoy this season just like all the others....

LOL - The funny thing is that I have kids - and I even like them! If they do the show right and have a good cast it could be a lot of fun. But what I don't want to see is the Jon/Victoria/Kendra types with children.

I agree Jimmer... but from what I've seen so far, it doesn't appear that way. I'm getting the impression that this season is all about family fun, as well as a race. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking the atmostphere is going to be a little less "serious" with more emphasis on the fun side of this game. It may not be to everyone's liking, but I hear they are going back to the regular format next season so all should be good!!!

I love AR. I also have feelings of ambivalence about this whole family thing. We will have to see but I am not too optimistic.

some people who have seen the preview tape of the episode are ambivilent about it...some don't like they're concentrating on the US so much this season. I'll still watch it tho....it may take some time to warm up, but it is a one-time thing, so I'm not too worried about it (like Survivor All-Stars....it was OK, but it was a one-time thing)...and the production values alone still make it very watchable. It may be a down season, but it's still better than most other reality shows....

I agree. The producers needed a break anyway, after three races back-to-back-to-back.

I like the idea of seeing more of the USA. Like many people I have never seen a lot of our own country and would enjoy seeing it this way as much as I like seeing other countries/cultures. I think it could be very entertaining and enjoyable. I hope the kids travel well. It could be a lot of fun for them if they don't get too tired or cranky.

I'm ready to give this season a fair chance. I don't think the family part will work well into the Race, but at the same time, I've never seen it before, so how can I judge? I'm glad they're going back to teams of two for next time, though. 1h 20min left!

The Bransen and the Godlewski families could be neighbors. The Bransons live in Park Ridge Illinois and the Godlewski's in Des Plaines Illinois they are neighboring suburbs of Chicago. Very close...I find that interesting...don't know why but I do.

I liked the Blacks but I think I'll enjoy the show more once all of the little kids are gone. I think it's great that they are spending time in the US. My kids were saying, "Remember when we were there?" "We've been there."

I agree with you Ark, it will be better when all the little kids are gone. I liked the Blacks also. I didn't find the kids annoying at all. Just something about the other two kids. I wasn't that impressed with the show, but I will keep watching it and bitching about it. LOL I did like the three brothers and sister and the father-in-law with his son-in-laws.

I'm enjoying the family challenges. I imagine that flag will be a huge souvenier for all the families! I just wish we could have seen how the Black family actually got their boat back in the right direction and away from the current in the river. I do NOT like the Paolo family -- the sooner they're gone, the sooner I can pry my fingers off the mute button! AND WHY OH WHY did hardly anyone recognize their "frank" hosts???? As soon as we saw the boys, DH and I recognized them and yelled KEVIN and DREW! Only the Paolo boy seemed to realize who they were! Guess most of the families are not huge fans of the show! LOL
