Since I teased it yesterday, here are the teams for The Amazing Race 13 - returning after what seems like a pretty long hiatus (remember TAR12 champs TJ & Rachel?). Ok, I looked back at my own blog (duh??) an the last season ended early this year - so not that long ago.. anyhow, here are they are:
Back Row/Standing (from left to right) - ages in parentheses
Ken & Tina (51/48) - Married, but separated, Ken is a former NFL player
Mark & Bill (41/42) - Friends/Comic book aficionados, Mark is Comic-Con CFO
Aja & Ty (25/25) - Dating long distance
Anthony & Stephanie (32/32) - Dating again after a year's separation
Anita & Arthur (63/60) - Married hippies/bee keepers
Andrew & Dan (22/23) - Frat brothers
Toni & Dallas (51/22) - Mother and son
Marisa & Brooke (22/24) - Friends/"Southern Belles"
Front Row/Sitting (from left to right)
Terence & Sarah (35/31) - Dating
Kelly & Christy (26/26) - Best Friends/Divorcees
Nick & Starr (22/21) - Brother and Sister
Although TAR is one of my favorite reality shows, I have to admit I grew a tad weary of it in the last couple of seasons (the same thing happened with Survivor, which I stopped watching altogether - the only thing that might bring me back this upcoming season is that it's shot in HD)... so we'll see if after this self-perceived extended break, if I'll have a renewed interest in the show. What I definitely will have ... is a new respect for the Racers... having had an Amazing Race travel year of my own - I really don't know how they do it now!
The new season premieres on Sunday, September 28th.
Go Bill and Mark!!!
Bill was my Sadie Hawkins date my junior year in high school! What a shock to see him on the TAR commercial last night!!! I have not been an avid watcher, but I will be this season!

I was just wondering to myself if that show was still on. I guess it is.
D has been watching (via a TiVo suggestion) "Reality Bites Back" on Comedy Central. Every week they spoof another reality show with titles like "So You Think You Can Dive" and "Hunting with the Stars". This week they're doing "The Amazing Disgrace."
