The Amazing Race 12/21

Is everybody aware that The Amazing Race is going to be on an hour earlier this Tuesday? It will be a new episode (naturally!) and will air at 8pm eastern time, 7pm central. Re-set your VCRs, folks!

Thanks! I would have missed it!

From the previews: The next leg is in Hungary, where a detour involves medieval cannons and a roadblock involves bungee shots. The teams have to drive Trabants (while still in eastern Germany, presumably), and Lolo and Bobo’s breaks down.

Ummmm, is a Trabant a car?

Trabant

That depends on what your definition of ‘car’ is.

While we’re all twiddling thumbs waiting for the show, does anyone know how to get into one of the last episode parties with the participants? I think someone on the board went to one at MSG last season…

Thanks to Terminus Est for the link. I should have looked it up myself but was too enervated by the Green Bay Packers’ hideous home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sigh!

From the official CBS Amazing Race newsletter:

Hmm, any guesses as to who that might be? :wink:

If it’s who I think it might be, I’m hoping that the Amazing Copyeditor left out the words, “…and run over.”

See, now, I was thinking it was more like “… and one member repeatedly kicked in the head.” Because I understand some people in that area of Europe still have their old-fashioned jackboots. So it would hurt. A lot. Awesome.

I think what you’re looking for is TARcon. I think they’re waiting for CBS to finalize the date of this season’s finale to organize the next one, TARcon 6.

Does anyone else find the title of this episode hilarious? Spoiler boxed, just in case…

They Should Probably Have Some Counseling, Episode #606.

Thankee kindly.

There are a couple articles about the show in Tuesday’s USA Today and the NY Post. With regards to *

producers say they talked to the mobile anus before this leg was taped because his behaviour was getting ridiculous, and they talked to him again afterwards. Apparently he calms down for the rest of the race. :rolleyes:

And as for Lori and Bolo

they should just pick up the damn car when the engine breaks down!

If that’s the case. I hope they filmed it. Then again, by your comment, that would mean that they’re also gonna be around for awhile. Ohh, fiddlesticks on that.

The NY Post article:

Bolding added. Hmmm…

Hey, over on TARflies, they have what proport to be real, honest-to-gosh copies of clues and detours.

If these are legit, my interest in the race just declined by like 80-90%. Giving 2 hour bonuses for “throwing a fit at the welcome mat”? Telling Racers to mispronounce words??

Can anyone vouch for this site? Any information on whether the images are legit or just spoofs?

Thanks!

Fenris

Is the site legit? Probably. Is the article legit? Could be, but take a look at some of the other articles written by “Steve & Dave”:

“60 Minutes” Interview of Avi/Joe
Car And Driver Interview With Meredith and Maria
IKEA® Catalog Interview with Lena and Kristy

Hmmm, there seems to be a draft in here.

What’s with the internet cafe closing for HOURS??? What were the producers thinking?? Talk about taking the suspense out of it.

Yet another opportunity for bunching. But more importantly “to be continued”?? “To be continued”??
