we can hope she doesn't go very far, though! :-)

i also agree that TAR doesn't need a gimmick because this show is so well-liked not having 'already knowns' on it. remember last year, though? there was that spoiler saying a male married couple with children would be on it, who were definitely not the gay couple they DID have on there. maybe it won't be donny and alison--it will be donny and marie!

According to the information in Spear's post on April 2 (above) in this thread:


quote:

Both series will kick off their respective fifth seasons on Tuesday, July 6 with 90-minute editions: "Brother" at 8:00/7:00c and "Race" at 9:30/8:30c

Hey

My favorite person on The Amazing Race would have to be Debra and Steve. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race4/teams/debra/bio.shtml.
They were so freakin funny! But they were the first people out! . I remember her running through the airport to go and all of a sudden she slipped right on her face. My mom and I were laughing so hard!LMAO!
Good memories, good memories.

Thanks for all the great info here. I'll be taping TAR at 10:00 and watching it on Wednesday nights which will give me something to watch. Too bad they're not starting till July - can't wait!

The CBS webmonkeys have taken down the link for the video, so here is a direct link to the video.

I think Alison and Donny being in the Race is going to enhance my enjoyment. Ali is NOT going to be able to play TAR the same way she did BB and I think it will be interesting to see how she does.

Just for the record, I never cared for Alison during BB. I think TAR will show us a whole new side to Alison or it will confirm that editing had nothing to do with the way she came across during BB. I'm either going to be impressed with the "real Alison" or enjoy her frustration when she realizes none of the other teams want to sleep with her...

lol Kep......too funny and your right there will be no quickies in the air port bathrooms or will there ?? hmmmm I can see it now......."Donny you go get our ticket and i will find team one and "distract" them"

Well I for one could do with out her but I suppose her controversy was a ratings winner so they thought they would use her again. darn it!

I'll wait and see if Alison detracts from my enjoyment of TAR. If she does, then no worry because I have tivo. One press of the 30-sec skip botton and it's buh bye Alison!

I agree with Kep. I don't care for Alison, but it will be interesting to watch someone I already "know" and see how she acts. Plus, I'm curious about her interaction with Donny.

TAR and BB are such vastly different shows, it's quite possible we'll see a different Alison. If not, well, it's nice to have my villain all set!

Found this on E! Online this morning -

ANOTHER TV TIDBIT: CBS ordering a sixth season of The Amazing Race. TV execs are said to be pleased with the progress of the fifth season, which bows in July, per Variety.

Kep ~ too funny! But you've convinced me to wait before judging Alli too harshly on this one ~ well, at least for a moment or so. I just wish CBS realized that most people love this show because it's usually been everyday people playing it, not those who were recruited or those were looking for tv-face time.

I'm having bad visions of players being in another country like India and being stripped of all money on them. Seriously, I hope that twist is going to be better then it sounds. It almost sounds like they're saying "hey, you've been eliminated but if you can figure out a way to get an airline to give you a free ticket to follow us, then be our guest."

Ditto on 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

And one last grump from me ~ START IT SOONER!!

Saturday at 9:00? What a crappy time...

I never watch TV on Saturday night. I really prefer TAR on Wednesday or Thursday.

some more info...at the upfront presentation for CBS, they said they may not air AR5 in the summer, prefering to wait until the fall to show it. This would give AR6 more time to film. From what I hear, they have the casting almost done, but unless they start soon, they wouldn't have time to film the race and edit it in time for a normal September start. They haven't decided yet, however.

As to the timeslot, Saturday night is a dead zone, and AR would basically be one of the few orignial shows on. NBC is planning on doing movies there, so is ABC. So an original show, that's family friendly, could do well in that timeslot.

I only have one game plan with Alison in the game...I will pretend I am a guy and sit with a tight hold on the remote. But the key influence Ali will have is keeping a finger at the ready poised on my MUTE button!

I must say I am curious to see what Donny is about, since I assumed they would be history as soon as she left the BB house, all things considered lol. But I think turnabout is fair play, and I want Kevin and Drew on BB if we gotta get Ali here!!!! Man, could you imagine their Diary Rooms. PLEAAASSSEEEEE someone make this happen!

And boy I hope Wilson is wrong. AR has been off the air too long as is. Can't believe they are thinking of a longer void. With most reality shows ending the timing is perfect. Geez even when CBS manage's to do something right they have to mess it up?!?! YIKES

Can TV really take one more second of Alison?
