Race, now with Amazing

February 28, 2006

Hey, the Amazing Race is back. Some running notes on this episode:

• No mactors. Teams of 2. Red Rocks. It's real TAR! Represent!


• "put on some pans, it's time to dance" Hippie dudes, represent.


• No clips from Family Edition in the open credits. I guess that the producers didn't like the Amazing Roadtrip either.


• "They haven't been smnoking pot for a while, I guess."


• "That's OK, they're hot."


• The gay guys from Boston are not going to win. [Bingp]


• Is Lake this race's Jonathan?


• The Staten Island girls are definitely from Staten Island (by the accent).


• The first flight-- Denver to Sao Paolothat's further than any single leg in Family Edition. Hey, this is the real Race.


• Is it [Spanish] not he same thing [as Portuguese]?" "I thought that was the language of the world." No, that would be Mirnish.


• "We're not seeing it" as they walk directly by the cluebox.


• "They live like this!" Compared with Kendra (TAR6), positively enlightened.


• "Is this the most James Bond thing you've ever done?" And that's not the episode title? I guess CBS doesn't hold rights to Bond.


• Team Mojo with Mo and Jo t-shirts? Um, no.


• Interesting-- no bunch/anti-bunch in the first leg besides the spoon-fed flights. Is this the first Race ever that didn't have an overnight stop within the first leg?
