I spy 3 or 4 pretty good looking women. That is something that has been a little lacking in the first couple seasons, with all due respect to Emily from season 1.
It doesn't matter in the whole scheme of things, really, because I tune in to watch the racing, not the chicks, but it does help to have a little eye candy along the way.
Can't wait!

It also funny how there always the same representation.
1 gay team
1 old fart couple
1 frat boy team
1 sorority girl team
1 parent-child team
1 sibling team
5-6 couples (in various relationship stages)

I enjoyed the brothers Ken and Gerrard. They were a really fun team to watch. The antics of Flo drove me up the wall! My sentimental favorite was John Vito and Jill, who were really nice people. They were quite comparaible to Kris and Jon from season 6.

The point I was making is that, almost always, half the teams (besides the gay one) are of the romantic young couple variety while there is usually only 1 of each of the other relationship types. I suppose they do that because they are the ones that tend to bicker the most.
Also, is there ever not a gay team? Or a geezer team? Or a 'frat boy' team?

This is the first race I saw and it is still my favorite one. The 4th one would have been my favorite one (as it has by favorite team), but my favorite team came in second place and really bummed me out.

You say they are casting types, well of course, but the "types" at least for me do not hinder me from enjoying the show unlike Survivor.

Again, it is not the types I am talking about. I fully understand there only so many types of preexisting relationships. It is the number of each of types - it is practically the same breakdown in every edition. Half of the teams are always of the young romantic couple variety.
Also, I am not complaining about it. I am simply noting it.
One thing I would like to see on Survivor and TAR - some non-American teams. It would add a different wrinkle.

Not that I really care, since the seasons originally aired long ago, and this thread is for season 3, but did the winners of the currently airing season (2) just get unintentionally (or intentionally) revealed in chowderhead's post?

No worries chowder, at least from my end. It aired such a long time ago, like we both already said, and this thread isnt even related to the currently showing season. The way you used them as your "example" made it really obvious that they won, but no biggie. You shouldn't have to spoilerize it anyway, imo. It isn't any different than if someone started a thread talking about plots from episodes of the Wonder Years that aired 15 years ago.

I disagree. These aren't the old threads being resurrected, and knowing who won TAR 2 isn't like knowing who won the Super Bowl 3 years ago. TAR is also not like a scripted series. These threads specifically are for the GSN replays, and were started for those of us who missed it the first go-around. We truly don't know who won (for me the 1st 3) and would appreciate those in the know refrain from any discussion of what happens down the road.

I never complained about it. Heck, I never even saw the info that was supposedly spoiled.

I hope further seasons wont be fucked up by those who have already seen the stupid show. Looks like Ill have to play it safe and avoid every goddamn post on the Amazing Race threads meant for those who havent seen it!

I don't think I've seen anyone so happy to finish in 10th place before.
The jackass takers should be eliminated on principle. So should the model twins - their 100 IQ must have been split when they zygote split.
Go Harvard Ho's!
