Travel safe ... GO!!!

Phil said that without fail at the beginning of each season, and I LOVE it when he said that, holding my breath waiting for it actually. Yeah, yeah, I'm an Amazing Race nerd :D

Quite an exciting first episode. Switzerland! First time in that country I think. Such a beautiful country. Love the cheese task. So hilarious! Not as hilarious as the frat boys marching with the Russian soldiers, but still, the sight of them sliding / crawling/ running after the runaway cheese was priceless rofl.

Still not sure who's who yet, but the brother / sister lawyer look smart. Too early to say whether I'm going to root for them the way I rooted for Nick and Starr last season though.

It's good to see the mother-and-son team, I hope they know that one-half of the winners of last season TAR Asia was a hearing impaired guy. The all-girls teams don't look very promising. One up for the Asian version heheh, because we already have our all-girls winner!

And Hina, Steff and Anja, I don't know whether you guys watch The Amazing Race or not but next week they're going to Germany! And while they're in Europe, I do so hope they'll go to Sweden. And of course, I hopehopehope they'll come to my country. They didn't for the last two seasons so I'm hoping they'd do so this time.

Here's (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/) the official website for The Amazing Race. If you scrolled down to the right-hand corner you'd see a preview of next week's episode which will be in your country!

In a nutshell, it's a race around the world with 11 teams competing. The teams are made up of 2 people already in a pre-existing relationship eg siblings, married couples, parent-child, best friends etc. It's gay-friendly too, there have been many gay couples competing. There was even this husband/husband couple in season 4 and they went on to be the winners. That's my favourite season so far because those guys were HOT!

It's one of the best reality shows IMO, it has won the Emmy award 4 times in a row!

Oooh, I see!!! But it looks like it's not on German TV, at least not on free tv - it mentions a station that I've never even heard of. Oh well. It sounds exciting and I would have loved to see where they go here.
