[Casius--J]

Cant wait, I love this show!

 

[Gotham]

This and Survivor? This year's off to a fine start.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm not particularly fond of the original programming on CBS (except How I Met Your Mother, I love that show), but they have the best reality shows on TV.

 

[Marx]

CBS has already ordered season 17 of The Amazing Race!

Awesome! I can remember a time when I worried that every season of TAR would be its last. I'm glad to see the show has caught on.

 

[Marx]

The cast has been announced! Go Jeff and Jordan!

 

[Marx]

The new season debuts tonight!

 

[BestGirl]

This has to be the dumbest cast ever.

 

[Marx]

Seriously! Going into a house and painting? Painting over graffiti? Walking down a hill when it says to take a transport?

Then you've got Jordan going up to the counter and saying they need tickets to CHINA!?!?!

 

[The Apatow Crew]

people still watch these shows along with Survivor and big brother?

 

[Marx]

Yep. You should too.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Isn't Big brother kinda like Real World, except people get kicked out?

 

[Dugath]

Yeah Jeff really needs to not let Jordan talk.
Kinda glad they came in first considering they are not the brightest bulbs.

Not really sure how exciting season 16 will be, I already picked out a few of them I can not stand... I guess I have to root for Jordan... well cuz she is hot

 

[Philly Phanboy]

This has to be the dumbest cast ever.

Sure looks that way. Maybe that was their theme for the casting this season?

Here is the video from Caite's final question from the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant.

Don't forget the cowboys exchanging their dollars for Brazilian money when they were going to Chile.

Also, the couple eliminated couldn't even complete the first challenge. That's not stupidity, but it is hilariously incompetent.

The Amazing Race is way more classy and interesting than Survivor and Big Brother. I stopped watching Survivor years ago and never got into BB but I love TAR. You should give it a shot.

I think Jeff is really intelligent. Jordan...means well.

Gets me everytime!

Hey...it was the closest thing they had.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

This season's off to a great start, these teams should provide some great moments! I just find the race so much more fun and interesting when people screw up.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

I'm really not a fan of the show's editing this season.

The Cowboys team have that stupid City Slickers theme song (completely unnecessary) and they are replaying that anti-Caite stuff way too much. Sure a few teams made off the cuff remarks two episodes ago but c'mon trying to create drama where none exists is totally against what sets Amazing Race apart from other reality tv shows.

 

[Marx]

I thought the teams jumping off the pier in the bird outfits was hilarious!

There's always that one team other team's don't get along with for some reason or another though. I don't see the anti-Catie stuff as being inconsistent with what we've seen on the show before.

Random thoughts:

I can't stand the brothers. They're argument in that confessional felt forced as hell.

I'm tired of the Caite jokes. We get it, she gave a bad answer at a pageant. Can we all move on now?

Are Jeff and Jordan really dating? Every time they have a confessional, it seems like Jeff's mocking her. Very odd.

I didn't realize I didn't like the lesbians until I saw them having trouble in the previews for the next episode and silently cheered.

Too bad Granny had to leave so soon but the old people never last long in the race anyway.

The cowboys are my favorite team right now and I didn't notice they have a theme song.

I'm amazed every team knew what a baker's dozen was.

Those llamas were really cute.

They really get on my nerves too. Especially with the one always say 'bro'. He just doesn't sound genuine in the least.

It might be old...but it still makes me laugh a little bit.

They are interacting the same way they did in the BB house.

I turned on them when they wished the other plane (carrying Jeff and Jordan) a mechanical issue.

I enjoyed Granny too...

I'm 'meh' when it comes to the cowboys.

That shocked me.

It's as though they're trying to be funny and really aren't. I can't stand people like that.

It's almost disrespectful to her. I don't like either one of them.
