Thanks DaysPassionsFan. I swear I was just on the CBS site not that long ago hoping they'd reveal the teams. LOL.

Look like quirky teams, but of course, all of them look flawless, LOL. Except the "bohemian" dudes... lmao at them.

And woot! TWO Florida teams, LOL (well two and a half considering Lisa from one of the teams is from Fla too). Gotta root for them (at least for now... heh).

Not one, but TWO "older" teams this season :D lol, so they are my automatic favorites...

Joseph & Monica seem like they could either be a Kris & Jon/John Vito & Jill likable type or a Freddy & Kendra/Lori & Bolo bickery type :lol:

I've liked parent/child teams in the past (except for Patrick of TAR7's Susan & Patrick)... In fact some of my favorite teams of all time... Nancy & Emily (TAR1) and Jim & Marsha (TAR5)... are parent/child teams.

Its funny how everyone was speculating that John and Scott were gay... and the pictures make David & Lori "less-nerdy" and Dani & Danielle "less pretty" than in the preview :lol:

The video interviews are now online at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race9

Now I like all the teams again... I really like the mother/daughter Wanda & Desiree, they seem like a great team. "Married 40 Years" Fran & Barry seem really fit, I guess it was what they were wearing in the interview :D But they look like a strong team as well.

"The Amazing Race" Moves to a New Time Period on March 7 -- Tuesday, 10:00 PM -- After Its Two-Hour Premiere on Feb. 28

- From the Futon Critic.

CBS's new series "The Unit" will debut March 7th at 9PM, bumping the Race to it's new timeslot.

Eh, not sure how I feel about this. I watch nothing at 10PM but it's going up against modest performer Boston Legal, and ratings hit L&O: SVU. Could be interesting to see the ratings...

I think it will do okay for CBS. They've been having problems in that time slot and it makes good counter-programming. But, isn't this kinda late for a "family show"? What about the kids? LOL!

Looking forward to "The Unit." The previews look good and it has a great cast.

Hmm... the timeslot worked for TAR5 which is really the first season that people actually noticed TAR.

I guess they want to move TAR out of the way of Idol-House on Fox, but TAR really is a family show (with parental guidance of course :D ) Still, families are a big part of TAR's audience, with it being one of the only "reality shows" that the whole family can watch.

    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
    • There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.   2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  
    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.
