Look forward to the return of the 2-person teams.

Yea! I'm so tired of watching the reruns on the game show network, but I can't help myself. The one they're showing now has been shown at least 4-5 times.

YAY!!!!

LOL, Samsaf, me too! I love watching the reruns but... Also, I'm glad the two team format is back--didn't really care for the family edition.

Woohoo!! Just marked the calendar! Oh, but we will miss the bickering family from NY/NJ(?) and the "heavenly" family...won't we?? NAW!!!!!!!!!!

You mean the Jersey family didn't grow on you a bit bythe end?

Just looked at the teams on CBS' website. All "beautiful" people again.

I want more "real" people in the race.

I noticed that many of the teams had done little, if any, traveling outside the US. Has that been the case in previous races?

Fabulous news. Gave up watching the family one after 2-3 episodes. I don't think they'll all beautiful people, Keith. But there's definitely the prerequisite older couple, the comedians, the young attractive couple, etc... you get my drift.

Wow, Keith, I thought exactly the opposite - Only a couple of couples who could be put in that "beautiful people" category.

Yippee, the family version wasn't my favorite either! The other day DH was channel surfing and I saw Joyce and Uchena on one of those makeover shows where he nominated her to get a new look! Can't wait to see what kind of "personalities" we will be watching and what kind of locales they will choose.

Just a reminder for those who are interested a new race begins tonight!

I hope at least one couple is male and homosexual.

Hurray, hoping for some good vicarious travel. Here's hoping the show is back to its Emmy winning level.

Just got done watching. This season looks to be great. Great personalities. Love the self proclaimed nerds. Dentist seems like kind of a jerk. Looking forward to next week.

Did anyone else feel that two hours was too long? I found myself doing other things mid-way through the show, then coming back for the last half hour.

Definitely an interesting mix. Love the names pairs are giving to each other.

By nerds do you mean hippies? I LOVE the hippies If they referred to themselves as nerds I must have missed it.

I didn't mind the two hour format--I think it's necessary with the introduction of all the teams and so many teams racing but the last hour did seem to drag because of all the commercials that were thrown in at the end.

The race is off to an exciting start!

LOVED the show.
So glad the 2-person format is back.
I think I will root for Yolanda and Ray.
All the other ones have annoying traits (except the older couple, but I don't think they'll make it because they don't appear to be in great physical condition. I don't think you can win this race if you're not).
AnnMarie: The self-described nerds are the dating couple from Kansas.

I hope the two sisters don't last long.
Their screeching is really annoying.
Should be a good season - glad they're back to a two person format.
