S35.E01: The Amazing Race Is Back! LIVE CHAT

[Whimsy]

Quote

The season begins at the iconic Hollywood Sign, celebrating the famous landmark’s 100th anniversary. For the first time, a former team surprises racers as judges at the first Roadblock, where one team member must traverse a perilous tightrope stretched from one rooftop to another at the historic Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, before heading to their first location, Thailand.

Bummer of a Survivor episode is done. Let’s wash the taste out of our mouths!

[Lamb18]

Hurray! The best of CBS's triad of reality shows! (TAR, BB, Survivor)

[Lantern7]

Huh. I don’t think we’ve had a “get to know each other” opening.

[PaperTree]

13 teams.  Going to be hard to remember them all.

[dizzyd]

TAR already doing a better job than survivor in introducing us to the teams.

[Quilt Fairy]

I like the turquoise shoes. 

[Browncoat]

I rarely remember them all until the field is narrowed a lot.

[xcrayon2215x]

Very glad the Race is back.

[Browncoat]

I don't watch Survivor -- I wish this started at 8!

[Pepper the Cat]

Mandatory u turn?

love it

[Lantern7]

U-Turn vote? Uh oh . . .

[Browncoat]

Oooh, I don't like the "mandatory vote" for the u-turn.  One reason I like TAR is that there's no voting!

[xcrayon2215x]

Good to see the return of airports.

[Browncoat]

Always a thrill to hear the music!

[Lantern7]

Theme music! Woooooooooo!!!

I just clapped along with the theme music.

 

[iMonrey]

26 people, and seven minutes in and I already have a better handle on who these people are than in 90 minutes of Survivor. This is how you do it.

I don't get the whole voting for U-Turn thing.

No, The Challenge is mostly MTV.

[chicagofan]

Well, at least no one is annoying me from the get go. I'm sure that will change.

[Maggie Mae]

I don't  get the u turn thing. How do they all vote??

[Browncoat]

Poor guy -- just trying to walk his dog!

[Lantern7]

I’m imagining TAR fans looking at contestants in the field, thinking this is the end of the season instead of the start.

[dizzyd]

TAR also doing a better job accommodating a deaf contestant than BB. 

[Lantern7]

Yikes. I can only imagine that happening on BB.

No clue yet.

[Quilt Fairy]

Express Pass is back!  Never thought that would happen.

[dizzyd]

Derek and Claire looking good.

[Lantern7]

Derek & Claire . . . perhaps the only BB people I can stand.

Well, them and Cirie.

[xcrayon2215x]

I wasn't expecting Derek and Claire to be there.

[Lantern7]

Failure cymbals!

[Quilt Fairy]

Wow, teams really powering through the roadblock.

I’m just so glad it isn’t Boston Rob and Amber!

[PaperTree]

Nice they have multiple wires.

[iMonrey]

So far so good. The teams I like best are in the lead. Although I kind of like the brother and sister too. Come to think of it there's nobody I dislike yet. Some are just more interesting than others. 

Early days.

[Pepper the Cat]

Pink ladies are lost

[Lantern7]

At least they don’t have to pull “fixin’s” out of thin air.

[Browncoat]

I hate anagrams.

[Pepper the Cat]

I love word puzzles but this one has me stumped

[Lamb18]

City of Angels?

[Lantern7]

“LOST IN”???

”City Of Angels”? Boooooo. Too easy!

[MerBearHou]

This contraption they built to tightrope — wow!

[Lamb18]

Ha! I'm first place!

[Browncoat]

Frosty?

 

[Pepper the Cat]

Love the interpreter for Deaf Dad.

[Lantern7]

Huh. I don’t think Luke needed an interpreter during a challenge.

[anniebird]

I think the brother/sister team are going to drive me crazy.

They're going to have to be more decisive.

[Lamb18]

Good for deaf dad!

[Lantern7]

“‘Big Brother Sucks”?

[hendersonrocks]

Rob immediately getting that answer and no one else even realizing he was there was absolutely amazing. I love it. And I love their team!
