Or the next pool should be on when the hockey brothers start banging the country singers.

Anthony is married and expecting a child. Bates, however, appears to be single. And he owns a bar in North Carolina.

 

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

Then my money is on Bates banging both.

 

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

At the same time?

I imagine Anthony's wife had steam coming out of her ears when she saw how the brothers were flirting with the country singers. It sure appeared during the show like all four were single.

And, here's an unrelated question: I've watched most of the seasons, but I've never seen the contestants have to go to Canada, which obviously would have to be the first/last stop before/after the U.S. Has the show ever been to the Great White North? That would really freak out the final three teams when they thought they were flying to the U.S., but weren't. One cool option would be going to a border/close to the border city (Vancouver, Windsor, etc.), then quickly jumping over to the U.S. to finish the race.

There is an Amazing Race Canada coming up this summer.

I seem to recall that in the family season they went to Niagara Falls, Canada.

Amazing Race went to Canada the year the married couple won it (sorry can't recall their names, Joyce and Uchena?) One of the fast forwards involved the team shaving their heads, she actually looked prettyy good after it.

The Canadian portion was Calgary and Banff but they ended up editting the Banff portion out of the show. What they did show happened at Canada Olympic Park which is on the Western edge of Calgary and was the sight of ski jumping at the 88 Olympics (also the biggest urban ski hill in the world).

A guy I work with helped design the road blocks when he worked there.

That's really cool.

 

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

It was actually TAR5, when Chip and Kim (my favorite winners in the history of EVER) won it. Although I do have a special place in my heart for Joyce and Uchenna, who won it in the seventh season (mostly because they were the best chance of Rob and Amber losing). I think she said in an interview in 2011 that they got divorced.

New cast announced ...

Former NFL players Ephraim Salaam and Chester Pitts are a team and pictured wearing their jerseys.

Two LA Kings ice girls are also a team. And, obviously, I'm rooting for the bearded duo.

 

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

Don't forget the formidable team comprised of the wives of former Royal David DeJesus and current Royal Chris Getz.

There's also two extremely white guys who are labeled the "bingo queens" and a team of exes.

There are plenty of people who have gone on this show and broken up shortly thereafter. But I don't think this show has ever had a team where the couple was broken up BEFORE they started the Race.

Are we doing another pool? If IJAG isn't up to it and there's interest, I'll run the pool.

I can do it. If you WANT it, however, I won't fight you for it.
