Welcome to The DVDTalk Amazing Race Game No. 3!





The season premiere is Sunday, Sept. 25 at 8 PM

The jist of the game: For an entry fee of just $2, everyone chooses a team to latch on to before the start of the season. If that team ends up winning race, then YOU will win a $22 Amazon.com gift certificate. 100% of the entry fees will go to the prize fund.

We will be using the First-to-Post selection method for the draft. You may post 1 and only 1 team during the draft. This is strictly first-come-first-serve. Anybody posting a list will only have rights to the first team in the post. If they have already been taken, you will need to post again.

This season's 11 teams:

Kaylani & Lisa (Las Vegas Show Girls)
Andy & Tommy (Snowboarders)
Ethan & Jenna (Survivor Winners)
Bill & Ron (Flight Attendants)
Amani & Marcus (ex-NFL player and wife)
Bill & Cathi (Grandparents)
Ernie & Cyndi (Engaged)
Jeremy & Sandy (Dating)
Justin & Jennifer (Brother & Sister)
Laurence & Zac (Father & Son)
Liz & Marie (Twins)

You may learn more about the teams at the CBS web site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/

Post now if you want to play and I will contact you with my PayPal information by Private Message.

All payments must be made via PayPal by 3 AM EDT Wednesday Sept. 21. If you haven't paid by then, your spot may be released to another player.

Please, please, please! Include your DVDTalk screen name in a comment with your PayPal payment! This is necessary so that I can match people up with their payments. Also, please use the Personal Gift option as this will avoid seller fees.

If the contest doesn't sell out and an unclaimed team wins, the prize will go to whoever has the highest finisher.

The draft will be held Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9:00 PM EDT (6 PM Pacific). The DVDTalk timestamp of your post determines validity. If you are too early, you will need to post again.

Good Luck!

Wow, that was fast! 1 minute into the thread.

Me, in!

Thursday night update: 7 spots remain.

Another $2 donation here.

What the hell, I'll be in.

please add me.

OK, the defending champ is back and we're now down to just 4 openings!

Sending my money now. Man! I'll be in a guitar practice session during the picks...maybe I'll have to secretly use my ipad to try and get my spot. :P

Gotta say though that I think just about any of these teams could do fine.

I want in!

I'm in

in please

Sure, count me in (since I missed the Survivor one this time around)!

Friday morning update:

The game is now sold out! I will accept a standby list in case somebody doesn't pay on time.

Thanks to all who entered and sold out the game so fast!

This sold out faster than usual! Please add me to the standby list.

You're first on the standby list.

Go ahead and give my spot to Groucho.

That's not necessary unless you really don't want to play. If it's a monetary issue I can spot you the $2 as a silent partner.

Not a problem of money Groucho, but thanks for the offer.

To be honest, I've never even seen the show therefore I have no real vested interest in playing other than to feel included in something TVTalky.

You can take my spot, it's okay.

OK, I've swapped Goldberg74 to the standby list, and Groucho is now in the game!

I'll take another stand-by spot if anything opens up

Fu.... I can't believe I missed this thread. Bummer.
