LOS ANGELES (AP) - An ex-NFL player and his estranged wife, a former Dallas
Cowboys cheerleader and her actor brother, recent divorcees, a pair of
Southern belles and fraternity brothers are among the 11 two-person teams
hurrying for the finish line - and the $1 million grand prize - on the
upcoming 13th edition of CBS' "The Amazing Race."
"I love the fraternity brothers because they're so young and such a
contrasting team," host Phil Keoghan recently told The Associated Press.
"One takes his time to think things out. The other one loves to rush and go
at a million miles an hour. There's definitely tension between the two of
them while they're making decisions during the race."
Another team competing is geeky best friends Mark Yturralde, 41, and Bill
Hahler, 42. The Comic-Con treasurer and student aid administrator from San
Diego have been pals for over 20 years and have auditioned for "The Amazing
Race" since the long-running reality series' third season. The superhero and
gaming aficionados said they left their toys at home during the race.

Just to add insult to injury: I hear that the new daytime syndicated
version of The Price is Right will be in HD.

Well there's always TAR14 but that's probably not HD either.

I am wondering if they are trying to keep down some cost, since the
traveling cost have risen so much. I am sure TAR is getting nickled and
dimed just like everyone else....

I still say ... if a Discovery Channel program like Deadliest
Catch ... in the most extreme conditions for any reality show can film
in HD ... so can Amazing Race ...
Even Les Stroud Survivorman is filming by his lonesome in HD ...

Well this season is relatively short.
I like the teams though, no dreaded alpha males.

I think that's where the production caused delays are taken into
account ...
