The only "reality" I watch.
Hey Doc, you might not want to read further unless your planning to skip the upcoming season of The Amazing Race when it airs in down under.
The Amazing Race is pretty much the only reality show that I have any interest in watching. I did get involved with the Real World but that was only for Real World New Orleans. Other reality shows such as Survivor don't really hold my interest. Some such as The Bachelor and The Biggest Loser I actually detest. I think that with TAR, it really is about the traveling that captures my attention. You see, I would love to travel around the world. Perhaps ten times slower than they do on the show, though. Not to brag, but when compared to most other Americans, I'm pretty well traveled. I've me people who have never been outside of Michigan even though they live only 30 minutes from the border. Yet, I feel like I haven't seen enough--not nearly enough.
This year is shaping up to be a bore. The teams aren't that interesting in my opinion. The one team that caught my attention was Jennifer and Nathan. During the get-to-know-the-team segment, one of the first things Jennifer did was was bring up the fact that Nathan cheated on her. Who goes on national television and does that? I'd tell her to dump his cheating ass and I'd tell him to leave that f'ing bitch. So maybe they'll be the drama couple if they make it further into the season.
I'm placing my bets with Azaria & Hendeka or with Rachel & TK at this moment.

@John P: If they did an Australian version of TAR, you should apply to be on it. I would think you'd start off with a competitive edge.
I know the BBC has restricts foreigners from viewing some of their webcasted shows, but go to www.cbs.com. Maybe you can see the current show there. Bonus: the episode should be posted by the time you wake up.
