RE: Alison I've been expecting all along that CBS would push the producers into casting celebrities on this show. And I figured if they ever did it would be the worst thing that could happen. Now I realize that there's something almost as bad - casting people who just think they are celebrities! First they cast the NFL wives last year and this year we've got Alison. People who have very little claim to fame, yet claim to be famous, irritate the heck out of me! All we need are regular people. That's what makes this show great.

I so agree with you Mark. There is nothing worse than people who go on these shows thinking they are stars. Regular people trying to make it through the game and not act up for the cameras are great to watch.

The new TV Guide is featuring all the teams with their odds of winning.

ATTENTION AR FANS w/Tivo: Currently Tivo's schedule shows a 90 minute episode of AR on Saturday, July 10 at 8PM ET/7 CT (in place of Big Brother )but the title says "The Amazing Race" so a Season Pass for "The Amazing Race 5" won't see it and record! Of course, this may change in schedule before that time, just a heads up in case it doesn't.

I'm wondering if that's going to be just a rerun of the premiere...

i don't think i've visited as often as i should have--somehow big brother brings me back, as well as amazing race. these are two great shows,and this is the BEST board for reality tv. btw--we got picked to be a neilsen family . they are going to think all we do is watch reality tv (proably true, but we watch good reality tv)

Just got my printed TV Guide version through July 10, and the Saturday July 10 90-minute AR episode is a repeat of the AR5 premiere.

and the TV Guide article has a spoiler for the first episode.....it could be a clue to who might not do well in the first leg. You've been warned. The first episode gets a rave from Matt Roush of TV Guide too...he gave it a perfect 10. Also, Kevin and Drew (Season 1)'s Discovery Channel show premieres the Thursday after the premiere...

Finally!!! My fave reality contest is looming and the added treat of my old fave team - those frat boys - getting a spot on DSC, double fun!!! Admittedly, I'm not wild about Alison being on TAR5, she had her 15 minutes as prima donna on BB4. Oh well, gives me a team to root against early...

I am with you Riviere, rooting against Alison right from the getgo. Altho remember her being a very competitive person so I am sure they will go far even with us rooting for them to loose.

If this has already been discussed, I apologize but I just read in my paper this morning, The Orange County Register, that there will be an Amazing Race 6 in the Fall on Saturday nights at 8:00. That is a lousy time slot but glad to see they are planning another show. Also, wasn't the summer suppose to be on Wednesday nights at 10:00, not it is Tuesday at 8:00?

Am really looking forward to my favourite show. About three(or so)weeks ago, my sons were walking in downtown Vancouver when they saw two of the amazing race teams whipping by them! I won't say which four people in case it would be a spoiler. My sons hadn't watched the show before but now can't wait to spot the teams they saw.

That’s great they were in Vancouver! I was giving up hope that they would ever come to Canada. Looking forward to seeing the show as much as ever. As far as Alison and Donny go, it might be pretty entertaining, even not liking them (remember Tara and Will?).

Keep your chin up with me, Myga! I do know the Alison team is tough but those know it alls tend to be overconfident and make the dumbest kind of mistakes. Not that I'd hope she broke a leg or anything, just lose a ticket or map or something like that! Hope she alienates the other teams who will know better than to aid her in any way!

I didn't watch AR last year, due to the fact I just couldn't get into it.. I couldn't even make it through an episode.. I don't know why, I just couldn't.. Hopefully, I'll be able to watch this season, but seeing as I couldn't stand watching Alison on BB, I don't know if I'll be able to handle her when she actually has some stress on her
