The Amazing Race

You can also watch the new season of The Amazing Race on Seven from 10pm next Thursday 29 October.

I checked the new season premiere on 7plus and noticed the end credits (apart from logos of production companies) were missing. Not sure if Seven edited them out. In the past the end credits could be seen on 7plus but not on TV.

I finally finished watching season 31 just hours before the AFL Grand Final. Colin and Christie were well deserved winners. The Afganimals could have won if not for Leo wasting around an hour trying to unlock a bank vault at the roadblock in the final leg. The double U-turn in the Netherlands was brutal though, it should be done instead of a U-turn vote in Switzerland.

Looks like Seven will upload a new episode of season 32 on 7plus every Friday evening, more than 24 hours after the US broadcast, due to time difference.

Colin & Christie were a very different team this time around, than they were less cocky & Colin wasn’t a hot head with a short temper, like he was in season 5.

Double episode scheduled this week.

[JohnsonTV]

That may explain why Seven was slow to post episode 3 to 7plus. (It’s online now)
In the US, CBS is showing double episodes this Wednesday and on November 18. I wonder if Seven will also show double episodes to be up to date, or keep showing one episode per week.

UPDATE 4/11: some online guides are still indicating a single episode this week.

Only 1 episode was aired this week as the 2nd was moved to next week due to SWAT being moved up an hour to make way for extra election coverage.

[JohnsonTV]

In the US, CBS will show double episodes of season 32 on November 18 and 25.

[TV.Cynic]

Double episode made it to air in the US tonight.

I was a bit slow to engage this season but I’m really enjoying it now.

Kinda glad the blondes are hanging in there. They are completely useless at everything but never give up and they take all the setbacks with good grace.

Liking most of the teams actually.

I am also starting to enjoy this season. One good thing about a show like TAR is to see how the underdogs shine.

I am cheering for these underdogs:

• The blondes
• Michelle and Victoria (I think they are sisters)
• The bespectacled couple (I don’t want to look for their names on google in fear of spoiler alert!)

Agree about the blondes and Michelle & Victoria. Not site about the bespectacled couple, he’s a bit cocky at times. But they’re ok.

The two guys (black and white) need to work on their game a bit. They don’t give up but they do tend to fall apart with each other under pressure.

I’m enjoying the locations too so far.

Double episodes on Seven for two weeks in a row - episodes 5 and 6 this Thursday, and episodes 7 and 8 next Thursday, December 3. Then we will be up to date with the US.

[JohnsonTV]

Just caught up with this week’s double episodes. What the hell are the two crazes in Berlin - dancing in a photo booth and beer yoga?
The blondes were very lucky they reached two non-elimination legs. Feel sorry for Michelle and Victoria who got lost in the streets of Paris and were eliminated.

The bespectacled couple

They are Leo and Alana.

Wednesday 9 December
10:35 PM The Amazing Race S32 E09

Thursday 10 December
Sydney, Melbourne
11:00 PM The Amazing Race S32 E10

The show will air on two nights next week, meaning we are up to date with the US, ensuring the final two episodes will be shown before Christmas.

[JohnsonTV]

Teams competed in the first mega leg in Amazing Race history, in Hyderabad, India, with double roadblocks, double detours and double the distance. It got to be exhausting for the remaining six teams.
Kaylynn and Haley were so lucky, they came last in three non-elimination legs and competed in three speed bumps and still made it to India.
Part 1 aired on Thursday last week and part 2 will be shown this Wednesday at the special time of 10.35pm.

The final two episodes will be shown on Wednesday December 16 at 11pm (10.30pm in SA) and Thursday December 17 at 10.30pm. The finale will air just hours after the US.

[Brianc68]

Really not liking Gary and DeAngelo. They’re lucky to still be in it but have a nasty edge to them.

The bearded bros are a bit much at times too.

Loving the season otherwise and the locations are great.

Would like to see Hung and Chee win actually now the blondes are gone. I wanted the blondes to win.

Watched an episode for the first time in years last week - the one in Kazakhstan. Still well made and interesting, same quality as it had a decade ago. Shows the good people they must have working on the program to maintain the production quality and tight editing.

[Brianc68]

One thing I’m not liking this season is they always end up on the same flights between legs. Where’s the fun in that and it ruins the point of winning a leg if they all end up equal again. I miss the shenanigans of getting the best flights at the airport.

[JohnsonTV]

That’s the problem when travelling between two countries which have limited direct flights (or no direct flights at all) between them, e.g. from Germany to Kazakhstan. Having all teams travelling on the same flight avoids the problem of one team missing connecting flights and getting stuck in a third country.

Missing connecting flights was always part of the fun and used to happen all the time in previous series.
