The Amazing Race seems to have just appeared on CBS, with little or no advertising. Well, I guess there could have been some advertising, as the shows that I watch aren't on CBS (Heroes, Lost, and Stargate). Yes, Stargate. SG-1 and Atlantis. Stop making fun of me. What is the name of this blog again? I make no apologies for being a geek...
This is really only an "All-Stars" edition for those that watched every season (except for season 4). So, some of the teams I have no idea who they are. And some (Romber) I wish were not there. No Chip and Kim? No Hippies? Come on....
Anyway, I found out that the racers are filmed after they are eliminated. Apparently, they are sent off to some tropical location to be sequestered from the world until the end of the race. And then complain about how they wish they were back on the race - cold, sweaty, dirty, and smelly. You can watch the videos here, as they are posted:

My early predications: Rob and Amber will stick around for a while, but then finally get pushed off when the other teams get sick of their tired, old tricks and gang up against them. Yes, I know they claimed they had all new tricks. But then they proceeded to pull out the same old ones. "Mark my words...."
I think Uchenna and Joyce will also suffer the same fate, even though I like them. People will see them as a threat due to the fact that they already won. I'm also pulling for the two all-women teams, because I think they are not as "bad" as some people claim they are. They are just competitive, and the world we live in today treats competitive women differently than they do competitive men. If they were all male teams, they would be seen as "shrewd."
