New Season of Reality Shows: Survivor, Amazing Race, Etc...

I think Dreamz is a lowlife.
He has absolutly no integrity what so ever!
I'm glad Earl won. He seems like a nice guy.

[Meryl]

I agree that Yau-Man deserved some kind of consolation prize!  It was clear to everyone that he was not only the best player but the best-liked as well.  However, in past shows it hasn't always been the best player who won.  Sometimes it was just someone who hung out with the right people and was the last one left standing.

I can understand why Dreamz reneged on his promise to Yau, but the way he did it was despicable, pretending he'd done it as part of a plan, trying to look smart.  If Dreamz has brainz, they didn't reveal themselves in how he played the game. 

[Amber]

I was just thrilled that neither Cassandra nor Dreamz got a single vote.  I think that says A LOT.  I would have much rather had You-man win, but Earl was my next favorite.  Some people are just good examples of how you can play the game without being a completely toxic human being.  It's people like You-man that keep me watching this dang show every season.  And you can bet I'll be there for China too.

Cassandra was nice, but a poor player.   Aside from not being able to swim, she did bad at every challenge!    She definately rode the coat tails of her team mates.   Just surviving because you stayed under the radar shouldn't get you the Million, although it has happened that way before.

Can you say Tina? (I think that was her name from the outback)

I'm getting excited - I was reading some spoilers (and viewing some spoiler photos) for TAR 12 on TARflies.com tonight - ooohhhh!!!

Roll on TAR 12 I can't wait!!! Not only for thr race but for the gorgeous Phil!

I got sent a pic of him in full kilt wear by someone on TARflies - as he ws in Scotland a few week ago doing his put a golf ball across Scotland challeneg and I only found out about it at the last minute. I tried to find out via the forum if he was doing any book signings while in Scotland but apparently not - so I missed my chance to meet him!

But one of the TARflies mods is friends with Phil and sent me a picture of him posing in St Andrews at the end of the event (as she had emailed him on his blackberry to see oif he was doing any other public gigs). I wish I could share it but she asked me not to as she had not had clearance to do so. If anyone wants to do it I could send it via PM as long as no-one then fires it off on an email or posts it anywhere public.

Seems like unless there is a cancellation that it will be Jan/Feb time beofre tyhe new TAR hits our screens....

[Kelda]

January or February?     

I'm sure they are doing that so it doesn't overlap with the "Survivor" series.   

could be - its going to be 2 episodes shorter and with no non elimination legs this year. so I rekon there will be 13 teams.

[Wishes]

Anyone know if it will still be shown on Sunday in the U.S.? The Amazing Race is an Amazing show.

[Kelda]

At TARflies they are all excited. Apparently this was in the variety today! 

From Variety:

CBS is singing the blues over “Viva Laughlin,” which has been officially canceled after just two episodes.
Emmy winner “The Amazing Race” will take “Laughlin’s” place in the Sunday 8 p.m. slot - where the reality show resided last year - effective Nov. 4. A repeat “CSI” will run in the time period next week.

JESSS!!!!! Are you listening No excuse to miss it! I've cross posted it in 2 places!!!

So Sundays it is!

It's the promo ad for TAR 12. I'd guess its no longer than 90 seconds.
