I already hate the poker team. Tiffany Michelle was a bitch at last year's WSOP.

Looking forward to it.

As of right now, it appears we are only getting a Fall edition.

Let's see if the wife and I can get past the first ep or two this season. Last time we tried to get back into the show, we didn't like any of the teams enough to continue watching after a couple of weeks.

I don't understand why CBS wouldn't greenlight the show. Doesn't it still get pretty good ratings?

Call me crazy, but with a team of Globetrotters competing, I don't think this team stands a chance:

It does do quite well on Sunday's. Gets around 10M viewers even when football runs long.

I expect they'll lag behind for the first part of the show, then make a miraculous comeback set to a catchy musical interlude.

I didn't watch the last two versions since I didn't care for the teams but I'll start watching it again. I'm interested to see if Tiffany Michelle is as bitchy as she was at the WSoP last year. I regularly watch poker but never heard of Maria Ho plus she seems cute in that picture. Plus there's more female eye candy in this edition.

my first thought too! i cant believe shes on this (although if Jean-Robert Bellande can be on survivor...).

already my least favorite team on the show. maybe it was the editing by espn but she is a HUGE BITCH.

Re: The Amazing Race Teams Announced

Are those Globetrotters from the "fun" squad, or the squad that plays real basketball?

IMO, last season started off a little slow...but ended up being great. Lots of real honest-to-goodness fits and hatred amongst the different teams. It was great.

According to Phil who was on the Kevin & Bean Show this morning in LA, the black and white couple refer to themselves as Team Zebra!
