Add "upper body strength" to the list of things you might need to win the Race.
We're down to six teams. First, let's take a step back and marvel at
the wonder that is Dubai. The pit stop is a resort, a man-made island
shaped like a palm tree that is eight football fields big. On the one
hand, it's ridiculously over the top. On the other hand, I yearn to go
there.
I know some people are questioning "The Amazing Race's" Emmy-winning domination.
But after last night's episode, I can already see Number 8 on the way.
It was 2 hours of fun.
With 12 teams starting, names are insignificant. But some team descriptions stand out; the Harlem Globetrotters (here's hoping we don't hear that whistling theme too often); the Miss America couple (she's black, he's white); the on-and-off dating couple (the man says she's a fiery Colombian), the guy with Asperger's and his friend; the
poker players; the gay brothers; and the yoga couple ("People think we're Zen, but we're like yoga in the hood.")
Sunday at 8 p.m. (or after football and '60 Minutes') the Emmy-winning reality show "The Amazing Race" returns to CBS.
Can you believe it's the 15th edition?
From what I can tell they've pulled together a strong group of racers; it's definitely the most physically fit group.
No one looks even a little pudgy.
