The Amazing Race Season 7 Starts March 1
Source: CBS
January 18, 2005


The next 11 teams ready to globetrot the world are at the starting gate awaiting the official start of the seventh edition of the Emmy Award-winning "The Amazing Race," which begins on Tuesday, March 1 with a special two-hour premiere episode (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).

The Amazing Race 7 returns to its regular Tuesday (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) time period beginning March 8.

The Amazing Race 6, which regularly wins its time period in key demographics, is currently averaging 11.27 million viewers, 4.5/11 in adults 18-49 and 5.1/11 in adults 25-54.

In September, "The Amazing Race" was awarded the Emmy Award for Best Reality program for the second consecutive year.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster (who co-created the series along with Elise Doganieri), Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Films and Earthview Inc. in association with Touchstone Television and Amazing Race Productions. Amy Chacon and Evan Weinstein are the co-executive producers.

Already? When is season six set to end?

Is this a new trend? The new Trump show has started already. Wasn't there usually a fairly long break between seasons for shows like this?

As co-hosts or what? They don't need the money or the tv time.

Unless it's a celebrity race or "rich contestants only" race - why? :shrug:

Bleh. :|

I don't understand why people don't like this...they are racing in it.

They were fan favorites in Survivor, and I can't WAIT to see them race here...it's like a team you already know...

...all too well...

They've already done reality tv...twice.

I'd rather see some new people get a shot.

They took the spot of some regular folks who'd love to be on reality tv, IMO. :shrug:

They should be on a celebrity show or something.

What's next?

Rob and Amber on...The Apprentice, Big Brother, The Mole? :shrug:

Maybe they'll come out in the beginning and announce that, since they've already cleaned up financially because of Survivor/Survivor All-Stars, they're donating any money they win to charity...

It could happen. :rolleyes:

Classic. It look like the same group that they had for the last 6 shows.

A black couple
A gay couple
A bunch of dating models
A couple of friends

Damn it, they need an engineer from Chandler named Mike!

I thought you meant me because awhile back, my neighbor and I sent in a video entry form for Amazing Race, and I posted on here that I did that,...

The Vortex!
My company hires one of the camera men from the show as video director when he's available.
He has great stories from their travels. He won't give up any info regarding winners or anything, he would lose his job.
I am on a show with him in about two weeks. I'll see what I can find out about #8, they just got done filming.

Great start to the show. Of course Rob and Amber are the targets - they have some fame already, and more importantly, have already won the big bucks.

Lots of good teams to root for so far - only one team is giving me bad vibes - Ray and Deanna - Ray looks like another Jonathan.

Debbie and Bianca - more than friends?? :shrug:

I was totally thinking that we have a new Jonathan!

I think I would suck it up and align with Rob and Amber. They're totally gonna get recognized and helped throughout the race.

We think alike, they sure act like more than friends.

The other blonde team seems like the eye candy on the show, if they play like they did last night they won't be on for long.

Ray does appear to be this show's nutjob.

anybody else get the impression Rob wasn't taking it seriously at all until about midway through the show? I think he's so used to being "Rob from Survivor" that it took him awhile to realize they weren't paying him to just be himself he actually had to compete. I didn't sense that with Amber but it seemed to me for awhile there he just was coasting. I hope they stick around he's funny and she's a hottie.
