What no twins?

The guy in the first post doesn't look 42. Spinning is cycling using a stationary bike with the instructor shouting at you to act like you're going up hill/down hill/on a straight etc.

Not a very exciting group, on the surface, but I'm sure that'll change once they get going, AR have never got it wrong before. Is it my imagination or is Team 11 "Team Geek"? That's not a criticism, I'm a geek and proud of it - but it's unusual to see geeky guys (also known as normal folk) on a reality show.

Thanks Wilson. Now all we have to do is wait for them to announce when they'll show it.

I was thinking the same thing Hippyt, not a diverse group at all. Hmm.

I never can figure anything out from just the pictures, but right now....

The wrestler looks like he could be interesting. I don't know if he's going to be brave or too scared to do any of the comps...lol.

Avi & Joe look like they could be fun! I'm thinking Itchy & Scratchy from a few seasons back.

And Maria & Meredith are not helping end the big hair sterotype...lol.

Wendo, check out the BB dance off thread....I found more dancing vegetables...lol

I take spinning classes -- and not ALL instructors shout LOL. My spinning instructor, while a taskmaster, is very calm and soothing, believe it or not! And I believe that first dude is 42. My dh is close to that age and no one ever believes it either.

Do they really think we just want to watch models and fitness instructors?

Ugh, too many young couples (and this is coming from a 25 year-old)!

Since I am a Daddy's girl, I will be rooting for the Father/Daughter team right off the bat.

Does seem like a lot of young model types. I was trying to think of who I would like to see and I came up with these:

- Mother and son (I have two boys)
- Asian (have we had any Asian competitors yet?)
- Grandparent & Grandchild (there are some young grandparents out there)

Well that's what I came up with. What about you guys?

Well,from what I understand,CBS has pushed it back to possibly Nov. I have heard that they may use it as a replacement show. Like when the batboy show tanks,they will replace it with Amazing Race.
