the amazing race six
if you haven't seen this show. you have got to watch it tonight! tivo, if you must! it's a two hour season premiere. this is the best reality show on TV. i don't watch reality show really, but this one hooked me from season one. for you TAR fans - did you guys hear that old teams would be running commentary this season? i don't know how i feel about flo's whine echoing thru my house.
>:(
oh yeah, i've heard a rumor that TAR6 actually started here in chicago. i can't believe i missed them!!!!

can i just say... i was a little disappointed. (and not just because my favorite team was eliminated on the first leg.)
admittedly, i was slightly worried for many reasons: a)when i heard that TAR6 was going to be aired in the fall - right after a really good TAR5. it's been successful in its regular time slot in the summer - why mess with a good thing? b) former TAR racers as commentators - need i say more? c) this batch of racers seems very unimpressive in their "impressiveness" - heavy on the looks category as a whole, light on the brains category. it's like the racers have never seen the show before.
par example -
a) if a gas tank in a foreign country is labeled "diesel" - it means diesel not unleaded.
b) if a task asks you to find ONE buoy in a 7 sq mi (think san francisco) perimeter filled with mini icebergs - pick the other task.
b) if you are too confident, you will screw up.
ok... i love TAR, hopefully, this won't be the season they jump the shark.
The other night I Tivo'd TAR6 on a whim, thinking the better half of the household might get a kick out of it upon his return from out of town. Last night, within 20 minutes, it had him making exclamations like:
"Did you just HEAR her lay into him?!"
"That guy's an ASS!!"
"And this is less than 24 hours into it!"
Mission accomplished. :)
