So in the finale they announced that 15 would be in China, which should be interesting at least. Fourteen was an awesome season up to the end, and has me re-energized for the next season. Anyone know when it will be airing? I haven’t caught much tv recently.

I had no idea they’d done 14 seasons. Good god. Never noticed that they’d been squeezing in 2 a year.
I’m guessing that the China season won’t air before fall. I’m willing to bet that they probably haven’t even filmed it yet.
So can we bump this now that we’re three days away? 
Yeah, It starts on Thursday. I am rooting for the chicken farmer.
Will this be held in a toy factory, on a poultry farm, or in a large polluted city?
I dibs Jaime. She’s cute, and looks like she will be fun to watch in a bikini. Of course, this means she will booted in the first episode. The only thing that might save her is watching the lunch lady bite it first.
More likely in a McDonalds serving fast food to white tourists.
Yaaaaaaaaaay! Barring unforeseen technical difficulties and/or my sudden lapse into a coma, I will be around to start and/or participate in the weekly threads. I’m not calling dibs on anybody yet (although Erik is totally my type), but I will lose my mind if there are baby pandas. And you KNOW there will be.
Amanda will be my date. Just don’t anyone ask me if I’m her father! 
My Comcast on-screen guide does not list this as a HD show-- didn’t CBS promise that this one was going to be HD? Anyone got the intel on that?
What if they eat the baby pandas?
Bad muldoonthief! No fortune cookie! 
“The Most Mysterious Place on Earth”. Please.
Jiangxi is an important source of tungsten; it also has high-grade coking coal. Oooh, mysterious!
Yeah, I just laughed my ass off on that. If your average American looks around at his household goods, probably half of them were made in China. Mysterious indeed!
I’ve drawn Jean-Robert in my office pool. I’ve yet to assess my chances at the $80.00 to be won. Looking foward to this season’s threads!
Can it really be that mysterious if 40 million people know about it?

Interesting casting. No old, fat, ugly people, except Chicken, who is only old (I only checked the girls, though)
