Does anybody know if there’s going to be an AMAZING RACE 4???  
I’m asking cuz as I write this, Phil Keoghan is in the premiere of a new series on A&E. It’s a travel series called BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. A guy (Phil) and a girl go to a destination. One of them does the budget traveler tour of the place; the other one is on the money-is-no-object tour. (Phil is this week’s budget traveler in Hong Kong.) So, I’m wondering if this A&E gig is just a little something to tide him over to AR4. . . or if there is no AR4 and this is Phil’s new job. Help!

According to [The Futon Critic](http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/gofuton.cgi?action=thisdayintv&id=20021211):

> When “Search” wraps, “Survivor: The Amazon” is expected to retake its usual Thursday, 8:00/7:00c home on February 13. New primetime editions of “The Price Is Right” will fill the Wednesday, 8:00/7:00c before the launch of the fourth edition of “The Amazing Race” on February 26.

I really hope Phil will still be around and I haven’t heard anything to the contrary. He’s the backbone of the operation.

Thank you, SmackFu. You offer more info than the CBS website does. I checked there. . . and there is NO mention of any future for AR. I feel better now. And I, too, hope Phil is back with the pack! Wouldn’t be AR without him.
