"The season will launch with a special 90-minute premiere on September 17, 2006 at 8:30pm"

wooo!! back for another season, can't wait

so yea, this is just a thread to remind me this is only just over a month away ... countdown time!


iamthewalrus  said about 5 years ago:

fuck yeah. i've been missing this show. there's been fuck-all good on thursdays since it finished.


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

woo!


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

are we still waaaay behind the US, or have the seasons caught up?


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

oh, by the way, that's the US launch time ... who knows if/when channel 7 will pick it up .. hopefully early, like last season


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

kuro: last season, we started screening the day after the US ... then we dropped off, thanks to the comm. games, i think


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

okay. I remember watching it on Foxtel earlier this year and inadvertantly going to the AR site and finding out who won accidentally. Spoiled it for me. We were about five season behind at the time.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

uhhh

that just means you were watching a repeat

not counting the "family" edition, for the last 2 odd years, we've always screened within a few months of the US .... never 5 seasons behind


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

hahahaha, you sounded like badalex then.

Uh.

hehe!

I rarely watch free to air, so I've no idea.


ShitBonanza  said about 5 years ago:

its fox 8 thats behind. free to air is up to date i believe


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

there ya go.


Dingomother  said about 5 years ago:

Who won last season?

Was it the hippies?

I watched the middle part of the season before dropping off towards the end.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

uhh ... ok

i don't understand why you'd watch something from 5 seasons ago on foxtel, instead of the most recent one on free to air, but whatever floats your boat


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

yes, the hippies won


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

horse, I'll watch almost anything on the telly. Like I said, I avoid the free to airs a lot of the time. You still sound like badalex when you say "uhh..." :)


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

well, avoiding free to air if you wanna watch TAR is cutting your nose off to spite your face


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

sigh I wasn't 'following' it week to week, I'd watch it if it was on. If I wanted to follow the current show, of course I'd watch the free to air broadcast.


ShitBonanza  said about 5 years ago:

the go is:

the series on fox 8 was so old it was easy to assume it was a new one because i never watched it from the start. when fox 8 caught up to the ones id seen on FTA i realised what was happening


BurtBacharach  said about 5 years ago:

there's a big event happening in Syd, Melb and Bris later in the year called something like the Kodak Urban Max event which is based on the Amazing Race concept - teams of two people, completing a series of tasks around the city. could be fun?


glasshutch  said about 5 years ago:

Imma make ohyeah participate with me. She loves participation.


kuroneko  said about 5 years ago:

I like watching the tantrums. I feel awful that the 'ugly American' myth may be perpetrated by some of the the (predominantly) American teams, yelling at hapless taxi drivers and airline staff because they're all in a mad panic.

So do I.

My wife had work bro's who downloaded the series for her as they came out.

Kynt / Kent and Vyxsyn were on Bones once. LOL.


slothman  said about 9 months ago:

my wife says she saw vysyn on sheer genius


Haff  said about 9 months ago:

Got kinda boring towards the end of this series i thought.


shakethecloudsout  said about 9 months ago:

zev & justin got screwed beyond belief lol. they were good value.

the final challenge was weak as.... it's meant to be an epic challenge that breaks you... whack.


Godzilla  said about 9 months ago:

the ads for the aussie series aren't looking as promising as I would have liked

The Adelaide team is some C-grade Nova radio celebrity with big boobs and her sister... with big boobs.

Plus they got some Phil-looking guy to host it.


slothman  said about 9 months ago:

when does it start? i am curious to watch and laugh at people freaking out under stress.


Haff  said about 8 months ago:

This Australian one seems bad. To be expected I guess.


drugshakehands  said about 8 months ago:

i miss phil the most. the entrepreneur couple are completely objectionable.


definitely  said about 8 months ago:

I'm glad Mo and Mos aren't out yet. They were pretty good value compared to most of the other couples.


slothman  said about 8 months ago:

oooops. missed it. was it on ch7?


Velodrone  said about 8 months ago:

Yeaqh, 8.30 last night. No doubt there will be an encore presentation before next week.

But... hipster surfers from NSW and entrepreneur couple.

I can't stand ye.


Godzilla  said about 8 months ago:

I hate that a final team's chance can be totally stuffed by a dud taxi driver


drugshakehands  said about 8 months ago:

thinking if this had been released by chris lilley's new show, it would be hailed as genius. like the laconic nature of some of the team, definitely not like the american version. entrepreneurs are still vile.


Velodrone  said about 8 months ago:

One Oh Five!!!!!!!!!!!!


pking  said about 8 months ago:

One Oh Five!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of those truth is stranger then fiction moments


pking  said about 8 months ago:

focus, believe, achieve .... fuckwits


Haff  said about 5 months ago:

we must be due a new season of this soon.


slothman  said about 4 months ago:

it's on. i like the snowboarders. don't like the bickering siblings.


bigdaddykane  said about 4 months ago:

I like Survivors. On Survivor.
