A summary of my in-the-moment commentary about the race as posted to Twitter. Don’t worry, I’ll eventually learn everyones names. Want to experience it live next week? Follow me on Twitter.
Counting minutes until the race starts.
Wonder how the deaf young man will fare on the race.
Getting the airport drama out of the way quick. Must be a full episode. #amazingrace
The gay son looks like he’s blind. Must be the deep sunken eyes. #amazingrace
Looks like shoddy Swiss construction. #amazingrace
Nice of Phil to learn a little sign language. #amazingrace
Like The high tech new graphics. Not sure about the new music. #amazingrace
@WoodysWorldTV Nah. Even IKEA furniture is sturdier than that. #amazingrace
The first episode of the season starts with a bang as the teams leave Los Angeles and head straight for Switzerland. It was obvious that the episode was going to be a full one when the usual airport flight jockeying was reduced to a few short clips and a VO from Phil explaining which flight everyone was on.

CBS has updated their Amazing Race website this morning and revealed the racers for the season 14. Check out the group and let me know which ones you think have what it takes to win.
For all you tweeters out there, you can now get instant updates about new posts on the site through Twitter. All updates to the site will be posted to Twitter along with other random thoughts and opinions. You may even find me commenting on aspects of the race during the episodes if I have my phone handy. Hope to see you there!
Season 14 of the Amazing Race is just over a month away. I’m looking forward to it being back on the air. It’s been a dismal month for TV since it and Survivor went off the air. So, to introduce some spice into all our lives, I’m looking for suggestions on where you think the race is going this time around.
No spoilers, please. I and many others like to watch the episodes fresh without knowing what will happen.
I’ll start the speculation: They’ll start and end somewhere in the United States. I’m going to guess San Diego.
After racing 30,000 miles across 5 continents, Nick & Starr beat Ken & Tina to the finish mat in Portland, OR. It was an exciting episode with lots of opportunity for teams to excel and shake up the standings. Ken & Tina made a strong case for winning the race, but in the end lost time searching the 150 clue boxes. Nick & Starr took advantage and sprinted ahead, never looking back.
Andrew & Dan continued their bumbling ways, finding a lousy cab driver, and removing themselves from contention so early in the race, that they were off screen for half the episode. Made for a nice change from previous weeks where we had to listen to them argue and bumble their way through the legs.
With this race over, it’s time to celebrate the holidays, then start looking forward to the premiere of season 14. Until then, Merry Christmas!
