  2. So Ethan & Jenna have spent their million dollars each? As much as I like them (Ethan more than Jenna), having already won two million dollars should mean that they don’t get another shot at even more money. I feel the same about any previous winners from Amazing Race or Survivor who get another go – seems unfair to the others who don’t get chosen to compete again, and the people who they are competing against.

  8. Olympians…record holders…reallity tv stars…geez it would be nice if they cast a few more teams that actually need the $1m first prize rather than people who are already over-achievers.

  9. Yeah! Hope it is fastracked, but Beauty & the Geek is coming soon and that aired well on Thurs @ 8:30. Not sure if TAR will be fast tracked and when it would air…

    @ Anthony You could hope the 2nd TAR Oz will have a young gay couple for you, but they could choose lesbians…

  15. Really looking forward to this season. Looks like a great cast. I hope that they’ll fast track it and leaved it on at the same time and day. Unlike last season.

  16. Can’t wait!! Love a good reality TV cross over. I’m sure your onto it David, let us know when Ch7 will air? Hopefully we won’t be more than a week or 2 behind.
