Hmmmm, things have been quiet from Dilligaf. One of the couples has been married for 13 years and I noticed her profile says she has "13 years of experience". Could it be?

Kappy, Dilligaf has a pic in her folder, doesn't look like she made it this season anyway.

TAR9 bumped to 10PM by "The Unit":

[...]
As a result of the move, "The Amazing Race" will be pushed back to 10 p.m. ET starting March 7, following a two-hour premiere at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28. "Love Monkey," which has struggled to attract an audience in the 10 p.m. slot, will give up its berth.

I actually don't mind this move...it gets them away from House (and in the early weeks, 2-hour AI shows)....only problem I see is if the new show doesn't do well, it could hurt AR because of the lead in (the competition isn't too bad...Boston Legal and L+O:SVU-but one thing that may hurt there is they're going to have a temporary new character comes in while Mariska Hartigay is out on maternity leave)

I like the move too, but this is kind of a "family" show and a lot of children (mine included) love to watch it, and can't stay up (or shouldn't) that late.

But that's why there is Tivo, right?

Humph. Maybe for some of you. For some reason, Canadians aren't worthy of Tivo yet.

But I don't mind this move... until the new season of Rescue Me, that is. But hey, that's what we have VCRs for, right? lol.

We have PVRs here (Personal Video Recorders) which are similar to Tivo (and arguably better in some respects).

Actually, the Tivo service is available in Canada. But you have to buy the unit in the U.S. and bring it up here.

TV Guide has some spoilers for Leg 1....

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
-The teams start in Denver, as noted

-First stop: Brazil

-There are three planes they can get...but the one that was supposed to arrive first gets delayed before they get to Brazil...

-Detour: Motorheads (Build a motorcycle-The Double D's at least attempt this one because of a picture in the article) or Rotorheads (Get on a helicopter and search for a specific rooftop to get the clue)

-And several teams don't realize the the main language in Brazil is Portugese, not Spanish....

I don't have a computer - I have a webtv! There are a number of functions I can't use because of the difference between my equipment and a computer.

Thanks to both of you for trying to help!!
