The last I heard it was supposed to be in two weeks! And I was looking forward to it. Well at least we have something to look at for the next month.

Can’t be two weeks. Sunday night at 8 on CBS is Big Brother until they finish, which won’t probably be until the the weekend after Labor Day.

Looks like a younger and better looking crew than in the past. I guess they want to give those weak wednesday(?) ratings a jolt.

But there is the token gay couple, the token parent/child couple and the token “we’re doing this to work on our rocky relationship” couple."
They also have two giggly-girl teams - the recent college grads and the pageant queens. Should be interesting.

I like Vipul & Arti and Erwin & Godwin.

Nice job on the diversity this season.

Balil & Sa’eed are Muslim, Vipul & Arti are Indian-Americans, Erwin & Godwin are Chinese?-American. Then there’s the first (open) Lesbian (Lauren), and the first amputee (Sarah).

And with the race changes I’ve heard about this could be a good season.

For one thing, the race takes a West to East route. The first leg will be in China. They’re also going to some new (for TAR) countries

Other stuff I’ve heard isn’t confirmed so I won’t post in case it turns out to be just speculation.

Beauty queens and cheerleaders. Oh, goodie.

And heaven knows we wouldn’t want any of that around here.

Spill it, Southpaw.

Man I can’t wait until this show gets started.

Okay I am going to say it first. Tom and Terry? Team Forehead ! You could probably see them from space… :smiley:

I am now going to go back and drool slightly over the male model team.

This is awesome!
Can’t wait.

Matching shirts = early round exit. (Working at Mickey D’s for 10 years?)

I’m picking Duke as the prick. I am not sure why…but there you go.

Says they met while working at McD’s 10 years ago. Otherwise it says he’s a coalminer and she’s a homemaker.

I can’t wait either!

Yay TAR! I missed you!

Ahh, yes. You are correct. Guess I just misread the bio.

Wish it was starting Aug. 17 not Sept. 17…

And a team of thirty-something Black women. I’m pulling for them, but I doubt they’ll make it far what with the not being well traveled.
