Isn't that just a reflection of Kam's leg? It looks exactly like her leg, and the shoe is the same.

After looking at the picture, I think you could be right.  But by the same token I am not sure because neither of them are reflected anywhere else.  I feel like a fool for not being able to figure it out.

Production of The Amazing Race has been suspended due to Coronavirus concerns.

I posted in a Challenge fan group on Facebook, and I wondered if production of the next season (not the one immediately after WOTW2; that's in the proverbial can) might be affected by the threat of a pandemic. There is some skepticism from those responding, and I'll leave it at that.

Individual season so not teams/pairs.

I saw this commercials of Cory on that awful Teen Mom show.

Looks like he knocked up Cheyenne who was on the Challenge and he's telling her he got someone else pregnant?

But he's got time to do another Challenge?

Oh I guess he's got to provide for his baby mommas?  Those other MTV shows aren't paying him enough?

It worked for Tony, maybe Cory is just following his example.

@Lantern7 (or anybody else) know if the COVID-19 outbreak has delayed filming for Challenge 36? I thought they traditionally left in March, similar to Survivor.

If Survivor can't film, I cannot imagine this show still can -- for the same reasons as Survivor, that you'd have to quarantine the crew before they left.

They're running promos for the new season to start airing on April 1.

So by now, all filming has been done and if there's anything remaining to do, it's all post-production at this point.

 

Now future seasons, if they were planning to air the next Challenge after this upcoming one like later this year, that may be affected.

Also happy that no one can make a final unless they win an elimination. About damn time.  It will be interesting to see how that plays out.  

Finally! I hope that they actually stick to that and there isn't some weird loop hole. I'm so tired of seeing people get to a final without an elimination.

They did this a few years ago. i cant remember which one but I didn't really like it. I hope that just because a team has won doesn't mean they cant get put in again.

@xfuse I don't remember them doing that. To be fair, some of these seasons are blurring together though. I was just thinking about Cara and Paulie last season when they completely skated through. Would have loved to see them both throw fits about having to go into an elimination. Sadly (or luckily for us) they are sitting this one out.

I think they did something like in the Island and during the oasis portion of Invasions. But with the latter, winning the daily challenge was also an option.

Random question:  what's it called on the show when the challengers enter into romantic relationships to help them advance in the show?  Is it polidicking or politidicking?  Literally asking for a friend.  Lol!

I thought they were saying polidicking.

I feel like I should go back and watch some old seasons. I just started watching a couple of seasons ago* and he hasn't really done anything to earn his db deluxe reputation. 

* I started watching because my favorite Floribama Shore guy was cast. Just in case y'all needed to feel better about your life decisions. 😂 

Anyway, I'll enjoy seeing Johnny on Worst Cooks. I hope he pops off at Chef Anne; that's a (verbal) beatdown for the ages.

I don't hate this idea.

I loved Johnny in Real World Key West and probably his first Challenges but somewhere along the line he turned into such a shit stain lol. Maybe around when him/Evan/Kenny were buddies.

The Island was his heel turn, I believe. It was actually jarring because he came across so differently. Not coincidentally, it was also the first season he won (Kenny was also on the winning team, but Evan wasn't on that season. The first time all three of those fools were on together for any length of time was the Ruins. And yes, I had to look all this up.)

Thank you, I've put these two seasons on the watch list!

Omg I hope he is on Anne's team and she rips him a new one.

Here is his Purgatory win against CT, as told through Animal Crossing:

I find it ironic that Animal Crossing depicted the exact opposite of what happened. Had that been CT's strategy (pile numerous heavy boulders in front of the bunker) instead of getting too cute by a half with the knots, I believe this challenge would've gone exactly the way everyone expected.

But oh my goodness, I love this. Jay's red skull on his beanie. Bear with a literal bear hat! Josh crying for no reason! Genius. Thanks for posting.

Who is the guy beside Kailah? I can't figure it out!

I would (sadly) watch this but you have to pay so I (thankfully) won't lol.

That is Sam Bird, Kailah's new boyfriend.  He was on Love Island in the UK and most recently on Ex on the Beach: Peak of Love here in the US (Georgia's ex, they met while competing on Love Island).

These people all sleep with the same people.  Do they not meet people outside of the Challenge/Love Island/Are You The One?
