Jay gets it. If someone wants to do another, have at it.

Drawing teams now. Points will remain the same as in past years: 10 point bonus for winning a leg, everyone else decreases by 1 point. 11 teams, first leg winner gets 21 points, second place 10, etc.

Will post teams in minutes.

THE POOL

MTM = Amy and Daniel (double amputee)


Huggy = Rob and Kelley (married Monster Truckers)


Jay Farrar = Jaymes and James (Chippendales)


IJAG = Natalie and Nadiya (twins)


Liesl = Josh and Brent (goat farmers/life parters (my favorite description of the season))


beanpole = Rob and Sheila (engaged)


TigerVols = Caitlin and Brittany


Wenders = Trey and Lexi (dating)


Inky = James and Mark


Drew Wilson = Abbie and Ryan (dating divorcees)


WolvEagle = Gary and Will (best friends)


I didn't see bios on the site, which is weird, but whatever. So all I have is what's listed as their description under those photos.

PS I got the twins last year or two years ago. How do I keep getting twins?? I couldn't get the goat farmers/life partners??

I dunno where you were looking for bios, IJAG, but CBS' website has had 'em posted for a while: http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/cast/

 

Re: The Amazing Race -- 2012-2013 All-Purpose Thread

Thanks. They might want to have those easily findable from the home page, the video page with the season preview, or the "photos" tab where I got those images from, though. I literally spent two hours over the past three days looking for those bios.

Would you believe that of the Gary and Will team, the short one lives in my paper's coverage area?

Seriously.

I did a quick preview for today's paper; our lifestyles editor will be doing a story soon.

Also, side note: I'm watching Once Upon a Time, then Dexter, then going to bed. The new job requires me to wake up at 5:45 a.m., so no late-night TAR tonight. I will watch and score tomorrow night.
