Let me tell you all how much I love the Amazing Race. It is one of my top 3 reality TV shows. I have been really looking forward to the start of the new season for quite some time now. One of the reasons why I am excited for the premiere tomorrow is because the race begins right in my backyard at Red Rocks Ampitheatre. This is where I had my high school grauation and I even got married in a chapel at the base of the park. I'm glad that everyone gets to see this beautiful landmark. I hope you all will tune in tomorrow night and catch the premiere of the show.
On to the spoiler portion of this post. Some of you may be interested to know the detinations of this season's Amazing Race. Thanks to the spoiling sleuths at realiiity.com I can share with you the projected route. The order is more or less correct but I'm pretty confident in the locations.
Episode 1: Denver to Sao Paulo, Brazil
Epsiode 2: Brazil
Epiosde 3: Moscow
Epiosde 4: Munich, Germany
Epiosde 5: Rome
Epiosde 6: Sicily
Episode 7: Greece
Episode 8: Oman (Middle East)
Epiosde 9: Perth, Australia
Episode 10: Darwin, Australia
Episode 11: Thailand
Episode 12: Japan
Episdoe 13: Alaska
Episode 14: Finish Line in Denver
There will be some locations that span a couple of epiosdes so the picture will become clearer as we get further into the season. I'll update when I'm more able to sort out how each of the episodes will play out.
I also have the odds that sportsbook.com has placed on the team's potential for winning. I'm not sure how accurate they will be in predicting a winner but at least it should give you an idea of who are the frontrunners.
Jeremy & Eric 11-5, Ray & Yolanda 7-2, BJ & Tyler 4-1, Fran & Barry 5-1, John & Scott 6-1, Wanda & Desiree 6-1, Lake & Michelle 7-1, Danielle & Dani 7-1, Joseph & Monica 8-1, David & Lori 8-1, Lisa & Joni 10-1.
So no spoiler information is available on who is going to be eliminated in the first episode. I'm guessing that the sisters team of Joni and Lisa. I'm going mostly on the information that they do not have much travel experience, especially Joni who has never been outside of the US. We'll find out tomorrow night if I'm right or wrong. Tune in and let me know what you think of the premiere.
