The Amazing Race 35 -- Starts September 27 (90 minute episodes)

[getbak]

Because of the strikes, CBS decided to supersize TAR and Survivor this season, with 90 minute episodes back-to-back each Wednesday. As a result, they shot this whole season this summer even though they already have a race in the can that was shot last fall.

This season will feature 13 teams and no non-elimination legs (for real this time, none of that "megaleg" stuff). It will also see the return of competitive travel without charter flights between legs, Express Passes, and U-Turns.

It will also see a full circle of the globe, starting in Los Angeles and ending in Washington State. The last two races were kept primarily to Europe (with a short hop to Jordan) and the so-far unaired season stayed entirely within the Americas.


If you'd like to participate in our pool, indicate your interest below. Remember, we'll need 13 people, so don't be shy.


I'll try to post videos of the teams if I can find some that aren't geoblocked. There are photos and short bios here: https://ew.com/tv/the-amazing-race-season-35-cast/

Not sure if I love the idea of 90 minute episodes, but I'm happy to see competitive travel return... and international destinations.

In, but not sold on 90 minute episodes. I suppose they are desperate to fill network time.

Okay, we've got our list. I'll throw the names through the randomizer when I get home tonight and we can get going. We still have 3 weeks before the premiere.

As always, make your pick and send a PM to the next person on the list. When we get through the list, we'll do it again in reverse so everyone gets two teams to cheer for.
