Does that mean that you find Alison entertaining to LadyT?

Dang...I sure wish my girls had tried out for AR this season! (They keep promising me they are going to). There is only one two man team and they can hardly be considered alpha males!

It looks like the teams will be more evenly matched as far as physical challenges go. Although there are a couple of really competitive teams including Allison & Donnie.

My girls said that if they were there, they would just keep bringing up Nathan to freak her out and get her off game! (They are their fathers daughters...I am not that evil!)

I get the feeling that Allison and Donnie will do quite well. If nothing both should be in great physical shape. The only thing they need to worry about is not making errors.

I found Allison entertaining, although maddening when she was on BB. But I thing she could do well on this show. Both of them are athletic, and Allison has shown that she's no dummy. I hope they can work together well and then they will do fine.

OMG! Alison's boyfriend Donny is from Shenandoah???!!! I knew he was from Pennsylvania but had NO idea he was from Shenandoah. That (very little, dirty coal town) is literally 15 minutes away from me! I drive through it all the time. God! Small world.

i was just surprised to see donnie had stayed with alison after her 'messing around' with nathan, et al ( or et ALL) on BB. i hope alison is out early. it kind of ruins the 'unknown factor' this show used to have.
am i the only one tired of the same 'pool' being used for all the reality shows? are there only 100 people itching for publicity and reality show fame?!!
i swear to God, if alison shows up one of the final 32 on AI next year.............LOL

Hey all!! I'm very new to the board but looking so forward to both TAR and BB this year. I wanted to chime in about Alison being on TAR. Miss "thang" may have met her match on this show. I'll explain that in a few minutes.

I actually enjoyed both June and Ali on BB last year. They gave to the die hard viewer just enough drama to keep us all watching. Love them or hate them thats why they pick people like that for these shows. Now for the games sake some positive things about Ali: The girl is highly competitive and physically fit and thinks very fast on her feet. She will do well at this game. Her partner ( Holy crap he's still with her?) knows her very well and I'm sure after being with her this long knows how to work past her .... uh... "problem" areas hehehe! So if I were to put my money on anyone making it for sure to final 4 or higher I'd put my money on that team right there. BUT... will Ali be the "witch" of this seasons TAR??? Don't be so sure about that just yet. I have some info on two other females who it appears have been described as some of those in that final 6 above and I'm not surprised. I actually know both of them.

They are just as competitive as Ali and have something esle in common with her. They are both former "successful" beauty queens from the state of Texas. These two are FIERCE competitors...

Ones name is Nicole O'brian ( Miss Texas Teen 2000 and first runner up at Miss Teen USA that year and Miss Texas USA 2002 and 2nd runner up at Miss USA 2002) the others name is Christie Lee Woods ( former Miss Teen USA 1996 also from Texas) As you can see both have been much more successful than Miss Ali when it comes to pageants and both are just as competitive as Ali and both are tough as nails. These two girls reputations within the pageant circuit actually make Miss Ali look like an angel.

Nicole is quite a character. Those within the pageant circuit make it very clear about Nicole. She's gorgeous and knows it. She can be a very cold woman and can turn people off real fast. Nothing phases this girl. She is just as mean as Ali but she does it without blinking an eye. Ali will not phase her. Put nicely she could chew Ali up and spit her out real fast. Get this... This is on video for all to see...At Miss Teen USA when she was announced as 1st runner up instead of hugging the winner she threw her hands down, threw out a cuss word on national tv and stormed off. hahahaha I'm not joking. She's infamous for that moment. She did much better at the Miss USA level in 2002. she kept her composure on stage when she lost but oh how she was disliked by all the girls. Take a look around some of the pageant boards and she's well known for her "tude" Like I said.. Ali has met her match.

The next Texas beauty is named Chrisie Lee Wood. She actually won Miss Teen USA 96 or 97 and this girls reputation is even hotter than the above beauty. She was so hated at the time of her crowing I'm surprised the other contestants didn't smack her upside the head. If interested in more juicy info about this one once again just hit up some pageant boards. She's a FIERCE competitor with an incredible reputation. She's tough. I'll tell ya these pageant girls aren't those sweet little innocent things that sit in the corner quoting bible versus and wishing for world peace.

Final analysis... Alison needs to stay on her toes because she's chicken feed compared to some of these others. It's gonna be a very very fun Amazing Race for sure and if the above final 6 is correct all 3 pageant girls appear to be in the top 4 groups. It's gonna be FUN! Looking forward to reading all your posts!

Sara.

Not a spoiler per se, just information: Budget Travel magazine is teaming up with CBS to create the press information for the show. That means that whenever the show goes to a new destination, the editors of Budget Travel will appear on local news channels to discuss the destination and how to see it for yourself. They taped these segments today.

I saw the CBS site introducing the teams. All I can say is, when will they stop with the Texas beauty queens and their boyfriends/husbands? How boring, I hope they are all off the show early on. The older internet couple is ok, the cousins are kind of interesting. The twins ?-gag. I bet they finish eachother's sentences.

Pamy you could very well get your wish for a catfight when it comes to Christie. She can be pretty straight forward and very verbal. Depends on how hard she is pushed. This girl does not like to lose. When I read someones post about seeing the final 6 and they started describing the 6 I knew for sure that Ali and Donnie were in first place and sure enough Christie is right behind them. There's where your catfight may happen if it's these two teams to the end. Like I said it's going to be a lot of fun.

Thanks, Ms. Divine, for the inside info. In looking over the teams, all I could think of was oh my ~ will Alison be upset at the beauty of these other women? Me thinks so. In the past, I haven't liked it when they've had such blatantly gorgeous couples on but to put them up against Alison adds a whole other dimension to it . . . especially when one of the few ways Donny can come up to describe themselves is "good looking". Alison and Donny are good looking but nowhere in the league of three of the other couples. Oh my ~ poor ali!

Could we please be careful not to put spoiler info into this thread? There's a whole separate folder for spoiler stuff. I don't want to know who the top three teams are!!! Sorry to moan but I'm sure I'm not alone in not wanting to be "spoiled".

Magic ~ normally I would say looks has nothing to do with anything about this game whatsoever which is why it is one of my favorite reality shows along with The Mole. But since Ali and Donny consider it to be one of the 3 most important things about them as a team, well . . . maybe you could send them an e-mail and ask them why THEY consider it so important.

I just want a good show. If nothing else, Ali has proven she is network worthy. The hatred alone she inspired last year was a ratings grabber and CBS knew that, that's why she's back. For the morally outraged- good... producers count on getting your panties in a wad.

If you are looking for pageant boards go to voy.com and then search under pageants. Texas has a couple of boards. I'd say the place you will get the most juicy stuff about the Texas girls is at the American Beautys board. Just ask a general question about Christie or Nicole and you will get plenty of thoughts. Some good and a whole lot of bad comments. Depends if people are in the mood to dish or not but you will find the comments very interesting and entertaining. Hope that helps a bit.
