AFAIK, it's on tonight. According to TV Guide online, it's on at the normal 9pm time.

Why would it be pre-empted in the Columbus area?

I live near Cleveland Ohio, and its showing in my listings....

I checked the Columbus area code listing (43215)
at TVGuide.com and CBS is broadcasting a basketball game from 8-10pm (Butler at Ohio State). Maybe its on later?

Wonder if this will be another one like they did last year -- they get to the mat and it is NOT the pit stop. I remember Amber and Rob (and the others who were left) being exhausted but having to continue on. :-) Of course, if it means Weavers aren't eliminated again, I'll be rather upset!

I've tried to imagine who the quote above is from. My best guess is Rolly, speaking to his mom or sisters. What's your guess?

There was a bit in yesterday's San Diego Union-Tribune about "when good shows go bad." And one of the shows they help as an example was TAR. Apparently, ratings *have* slipped with this family edition. People aren't liking the kids, they aren't like the family dynamic, and they aren't liking the locations. (Which is pretty much what I've been thinking all along!)

Really, the producers ought to quit tinkering with a successful enterprise. Seriously!

I've never much cared for the melodrama and team friction. I just want to watch a competitive & challenging race, see some amazing scenery, and get a glimpse of other cultures & lifestyles.

This season started slow, had some very dull early locations, and lost some of its more interesting and enjoyable teams way too soon.

Things did pick up in the second half, however, with some terrific tasks and gorgeous locales. Unfortunately by then the show's focus was on the tension between the teams. For me, that's been a drag. I was also aggravated by the film crews' mistakes hurting teams. After one battery was drained, you'd think they wouldn't chance such a thing happening again.

It just seems like this season has had poor planning from the beginning.

Anyway, best of luck to the remaining teams. And I'm looking forward to next season. I've got an atlas the producers can borrow.

Well no more "non-elimination" rounds...guess there only was two this season...

Isn't that a record for the least amount of non-elims?

There have been three non-eliminations which have spared the Godlewskis, the Bransens, and the Weavers. Next week is a two-hour episode. If it's like last year's finale, it will have two legs with the first one being a non-elimination, making up a total of four for the season.

I agree with Taterheadtwo..

The Weavers are so going to win this race for the simple fact that they have there sad story and everyone in the race 'hates' them.

I won't watch the finale because I can't stand to see them win.

I'm rooting for the Linz's.

Inside Move: 'Race' runners-up find new home
'Amazing' reality skein gets online finish line

By JOSEF ADALIAN, BEN FRITZ



Next week's season finale of "The Amazing Race" won't actually be the finale.
In a first for the CBS reality skein, the "Race" will continue online after the action ends on TV. That's because producers taped a runner-up challenge in which the second- and third-place teams competed to win a new car.

Rather than air the bonus segseg on-air, however, CBS designed the challenge to be an Internet exclusive. As a result, the so-called "mini-race" will be featured exclusively on the Eye's Web site, CBS.com.

The six-minute seg will be available for streaming immediately after the West Coast broadcast of the "Race" finale wraps at 11 p.m. Dec. 13.
