The
particular DVR I'm using doesn't have the capability of recording DVDs.
It just has a hard drive. But it is very handy in that it has two
tuners so believe it or not you can record two shows simultaneously and
watch a third one that you pre-recorded and do it all at the same time.
Our cable company also offers time shifting so we get the West Coast
stations as well, so I can record a 10:00 show at 1:00 AM. I also like the ones that record to DVD. We might consider that as well at some point.

I
used to have my old trusty VCR hooked up to my DVR so that I could
record shows that I had on my DVR and watch them on another show, or
bring them to a friend to watch. Does that make sense?

That's a good idea. I'll have to try that with the keepers!

The mark of a true television addict...a VCR, DVD player and a TIVO on every possible television. I do wish TIVO recorded on disk...wouldn't that be fabulous?

Does
anyone else keep up w/the CBS website? The first few episodes, my
favorite part of the show was watching Phil's video diary and reading
his blog. Unfortunately the video diary hasn't been updated since
Episode 2 and the blog hasn't been updated since Episode 4. The
pictures are still being updated, so I'm pretty sure it's not just a
need to refresh my browser or antyhing. Suppose Phil is too busy chasing after these contestants, but I hope they're able to add more soon!

Last
night was Lexie Time on the sofa and I watched Disc 4 of Season One. I
thoroughly enjoyed it. I also found it wasn't as "choppy" when I didn't
have the side trips on!!! Now I have to wait for Season Two to come out
on DVD. The first season I watched was the season with Chip and Reichin
- not sure if that is Season Three or Four.

Pretty sure it's season 4, Lexie -- it's playing on the game show network right now.

I
wasn't aware that Phil, the host, is doing a "real show time" blog (ie
he wrote it while the show was happening) that can be found HERE (of course maybe that is because I really haven't been watching TAR this year much ) Here's what Reality Blurred has to say about it: Phil Keoghan’s Amazing Race blog is a real-time, behind-the-scenes look at the race Official
reality TV show blogs are usually these are worth avoiding; more often
than not, they’re self-serving, boring, or both. Thus, I never visited
Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan’s blog at CBS.com. It’s new this season,
although the site has had Phil-centric features before, such as a video
diary and uncut “mat chat” video. But Phil’s blog is
sometimes even more fascinating than the episode itself. At the very
least, it adds to our enjoyment of the race—and to the wonder of how
this incredible production comes together. In large part, that’s
because it appears Phil actually wrote his blog entries while on the
race; he’s not reflecting on the show now, but commenting on it in real
time. (In his episode 9 comments, he mentions talking into a
Dictaphone, so that explains how he managed to keep detailed records.) More
significantly, he adds to our understanding of the production and the
demands placed on both him and everyone else. He’s unquestionably the
hardest working host in the business: At the end of episode nine, he
notes, “I have two shows from season 8 to do voiceover for. We’ll set
up a makeshift voiceover booth in a hotel room.” During his episode
five commentary, Phil notes that he coincidentally ended up on the same
flight as BJ and Tyler, and Eric and Jeremy. Later, he and his producer
were, he writes, “rushing to get to the Pit Stop before BJ & Tyler
get there. They had about an hour and a half lead on us, they got
through the Detour very quickly.” Phil beat them to the pit stop, where
he said that he’d have to “do a quick hair wash in the parking lot.”

I've
been reading Phil's blog all along, and it is excellent! His pictures
actually show him washing his hair using bottle water and bending over
a railing. LOL They definitely add enjoyment to the tv show. It was nice to see them all updated this week, too!

unauthorized, so it could be interesting...and the Gahgan kids wrote
the introduction....and I'd rather would have had the title be "That's

Is
the finale on the regular night? I can't remember how that is done, but
I was thinking it is a two-hour show. Any information?

Thanks,
Scoutmom! I am going to be traveling and don't want to miss anything.
Of course, my wonderful friend, The Owl, always has catch-up tapes
available if I do mess up!!

A
team from the 'amazing race' ran into a radio show I listen to on the
streets of NYC today (the radio show was walking on the street
broadcasting at the time) - the radio hosts think they may be the
winners of this years race. Could it be the next season is already taping? (notice
I didn't say which couple it might have been - but it was apparent when
they were briefly on the air saying they could not do press right now)

Oh yeah... I can do Amazing Race on Sundays since The Sopranos won't be back on until January. Wednesday night is for the birds.
