… kick ass.
Or that’s what I anticipate the new season of The Amazing Race will do when it gets its two-hour debut on CBS tonight. The New York Times has a nice piece on the show’s progress from under-viewed critical darling to certified hit (registration required).
This has been a weak season for both Survivor and The Apprentice, so my hopes are high for this perennial favorite. If nothing else, I’ll get a weekly dose of adorable host Phil. As an added bonus, the show comes with marvelous recappery from the estimable Miss Alli over at Television Without Pity. (And if you question the “Without Pity” part of the site’s name, keep in mind that Miss Alli recaps all three of the shows mentioned in this entry.)
Meet the racers at the CBS site.
