Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

Just casually scrolling through here I thought, "'Flight Attendants' is a relationship?" and "Hey, he looks familiar... Holy shit, that's Mike White! Is this a celebrity AR and I didn't notice? No, couldn't be. He's not much of a 'celebrity'"

Interesting that he's on here.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

I'm also surprised that Mike White is on TAR.

I hope the stuntbro's will be fun to watch.

My wife and I only made it through two eps last season - hopefully the teams this time around will retain our interest.

Mike White!

When does this premiere?

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

Hey look a young son and his mother and a former NFL cheerleader (two!). I wonder what romantic aspirations the producers will try to weave into the "storyline" this season? It worked well last season.

And, Ned Schneebly (Mike White)! Sure, not a celebrity for his acting career, but he did write School of Rock, Nacho Libre, Chuck & Buck and a number of episodes of Freaks & Geeks. And his dad is a clergyman from Lynchburg, VA? Aren't they all? Of course, there's a twist (search Rev. Mel White).

I'm watched all 13 seasons, so why stop now? Interesting that they casted a feature/TV writer producer.

Shocked to see Mike White on there, but I guess he doesn't have the kind of celebrity that would help him out anyway on the race.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

I just know Mike White because of "School of Rock". I though last season TAR was one of the most boring one and that includes the Family Edition. Hopefully this one is better...

Boring = not enough conflict. Everyone pretty much liked each other. Conflict produces entertaining shows.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

My early money is on the stunt brothers.

After them, I should support the hometown couple. Hopefully they won't screw up like the comic book geeks last season.

Is Mike White the one that looks like Hodges from CSI?

Yes, but much paler.

Interesting to see Mike White on the show. I guess it's not a celebrity stunt - acting and writing is a job like anything else, I suppose. Besides, I'm thinking playing the "I'm the guy that wrote Chuck & Buck" card won't do him much good with a Columbian cabbie.



Oh, almost forgot -

Go Black family!

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

Here are some interesting, unique things about the cast. I spoilered them, just in case:

Spoiler:
The stuntman brothers are both little people.

The son in the mother and son team is deaf.

Mike White's father is a gay priest.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

HOT redheads I was shocked to see Mike White - I've been a big fan of his for years, so this is pretty wicked IMO. I was going to watch anyhow since I love TAR, but these two things seal the deal.

Re: The Amazing Race 14 Teams

Looks like an interesting group to me. I think the average age of this cast is higher than usual as well, which is fine with me since the older contestants always have more life experience to draw from.
