Not old, just vintage.
I went ahead and created a group. It is public so anyone can join but I named it AmazingRaceMagic so it is a little easier to find.

I'm in! I found the group on page 204 of the Public Group list.

I look forward to this show every season, and I'm always impressed with the challenges, the editing, and the interesting/exotic/fantastic scenery. There's a reason this show has won every Emmy for Best Reality Show.

I've never played a Fantasy game before so I'm not sure what to do. Later (after I watch some DVRed shows) I'll go over and join! fun!

Thanks.

If one of our teams gets voted off, do we get to choose a new one?

I chose -
Zev and Justin
Meghan and Cheyne (AKA Vanilla Ice...haha)

I watched all of the team introduction videos on youtube.

Based solely on those videos....

The teams I like best are - Meghan/Cheyne, Brian/Ericka (although if they constantly talk about being a bi-racial couple it's going to get old fast), Sam/Dan, Zev/Justin, Mika/Caanan.

The teams I like the least are - Maria/Tiffany, Eric/Lisa

The rest I'm just kind of indifferent about.

We'll see if my opinions changes after the first episode though.

I got my husband to join the magic team. Ignore his ridiculous user name over there....haha. Every name he'd try before that was already taken.

I liked it..crazy to be voted off so quick without even leaving!

I really like Zev and Justin..and Herb and Nate the globetrotters!

Lance and Keri is one of the teams I picked in my fantasy but I am not that fond of him..a little too harsh...

I would not have done the duck thing....:(..my brother would have to do that...birds scare the crap out of me..:(

I was so upset because during the broadcast my local station kept loosing it's feed due to heavy rain. I missed the first elimination completely and a lot of the first check in.:brick::zipit:

I didn't like the elimination right away for a couple of reasons. 1) You go thru all the hoops of qualifying for the show (background checks, endless interviews, leaving your family, and taking off work for 5 weeks) to get eliminated 10 minutes in? Kinda sucks. 2) We knew that the first leg would be non elimination because they wouldn't eliminate two teams in two days. It took the drama out of the first pit stop. I wonder if the yoga couple who got eliminated in LA get to go to Elimination Station?

We usually watch on Monday (DVR) and skip the commercials. I never realized how violent the commercials are for CBS shows. Intense.

I like the Globetrotters to take the Million.
