The Amazing Race: Season Premiere Tonight

A damned shame, that was. I hope this won't be like last season, with all the decent teams going out early.

 

8-9PM
CBS

The Amazing Race 15

"The remaining contestants race through Dubai, where the locals are still recovering from Star Jones' honeymoon."

"The teams head to the Netherlands, where snow is not an indoor-amusement-park treat."

 

This is the Worst Thing I've Ever Done in My Life

You're Not Meant for the Swamp

"The five remaining teams depart the Bögs Gård Farm Pit Stop in Väsby, Sweden on the ninth leg of a race around the world for one million dollars, with Gary/Matt knowing they'll also have to overcome a Speed Bump if they're to stay in the Race."

"It Starts With an F, That's All I'm Saying"

NEW

"Unable to complete a roadblock, one team decides to take a four-hour penalty; a team dodges intoxicated locals while trying to complete the detour."

 

There aren't that many variations, you nimrod!

 

I can't believe Big Easy chose to take the 4-hr penalty over completing the Roadblock. I know it's frustrating, but continuously guessing letter combinations (especially after getting the first letter), would have been way better than sitting there doing absolutely nothing for 4 hrs.

 

I honestly would have gotten that within the first five seconds of looking at it. C'mon, Big Easy.

 

Apparantly Big Easy did come up with "Franz".

 

Aren't there only 24 different combinations of the letters if you start the word with F? Even if you can't come up with the answer in your head, surely it only takes a minute to write out the 24 possible answers and scan through them for the best answer? 5 minutes if you do it for each of the 5 letters.

 

8-9PM

I was rather hoping that the cops would go home, but no.

 

So jealous that the final three teams got to visit Lucasfilm and ILM and participate in that cool task. Also super jealous of the 501st members that got to suit up and escort them around the place.

 

Looked like fun. Wished the cowboys had won, though.
