Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-21-12, 12:09 PM (EST) "Cast announcement & TAR increases first prize: $1,000,000 -- " -- each. Because in this economy, $500,000 and a lifetime of immortalized humiliation just doesn't go as far as it used to. (In response, Big Brother is expected to announce that from this moment on, the hamsters pay rent.) So we've got Racers. We have reality DAWs again -- although thankfully not the team of Hantz & Donato, who've been pushing CBS to let them on. (It's the Fabulous Beekman Boys. I have no idea who they are.) We have Chippendales and I swear that anyone who does a simultaneous drool over them while bashing any female on the course who dares to show skin below the neck is going to suffer from a very rare injury: double standard whiplash. We have a heavy metal artist and his manager. We have monster truck drivers. And we have a total failure on this computer's part to load the CBS page, so anyone who can manage it and wants to post the full listing is welcome to: http://www.cbs.com/shows/amazing_race/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tWXSyNDz5Rw for the starting line commercial footage. We also have a potential reschedule. CBS announced that in order to make it easier on NFL teams with afternoon games, start times for the second shift will be pushed back ten minutes. Guess what this does to the primetime lineup. Right. And last year, CBS acknowledged the average TAR episode was stalled out by twenty-seven minutes. So rather than, say, moving it to a more honesty-friendly night, they're considering pushing all the Sunday night programs back by fifteen minutes so as to make life that much more of a lie for your DVR. Whee. Save those Emails and online petitions, people: Goodell doesn't care. We know who's running. Parts of the Internet have good ideas on where. 'Why' is usually a lock. And 'when'... ...kiss 'when' goodbye. I'm thisclose to just waiting five years on the Amazon burn-to-order DVD. At least I know when that's showing up.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Close" Actually the top prize has always been one million US dollars, in season 21 they are raising it to two million dollars . Want to make up a team now?!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-29-12, 05:14 PM (EST) 6. "They lied." It's not a standard prize increase: it's a twist. To get the doubled money, you have to win and take first place on the initial leg. So there's one team eligible to try for extra and everyone else is stuck with the usual. Also: three continents, nine countries, and 25,000 miles? That? Is a very short course. We already know that's North America (Los Angeles), Europe, and Asia, with stops in the Netherlands (site of a Roadblock Switchback, according to CBS), Bangladesh, and Indonesia. Why the cutdown on the mileage? Saving cash in case that twist somehow worked out for the one team with a chance? CBS cutting back in order to pay off 3? And yes, there are Chippendales. So it goes. http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/the-amazing-race-21-cast-and-new-2-million-grand-prize-details-announced-by-cbs-13792.php There are also three-hour episode start delays. So it will not go for some time.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kidflash212 3854 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 08-29-12, 07:28 PM (EST) 7. "RE: They lied." I hate that twist - one team has a chance to double their winnings but the others don't? BS. Though I find nothing wrong with Chippendales...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-29-12, 08:21 PM (EST) 8. "RE: They lied." Nor do I. It's the advance near-certain knowledge of approaching double standards which has me fuming.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kidflash212 3854 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 09-04-12, 12:45 PM (EST) 13. "Is this being their official photo a double standard?" Would a team of two female exotic dancers be shown in costume?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PepeLePew13 24731 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-29-12, 09:36 PM (EST) 9. "RE: They lied." How much do you want to bet that the final challenges would be rigged to favour one of the other teams if one team has a chance to double their winnings in the finale?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

jbug 16685 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-30-12, 10:41 AM (EST) 10. "RE: They lied." the team that wins the initial leg may have a target on their backs real soon. The other teams might consider them even bigger threats - they will have been a strong team to win that leg; and they will have more motivation than any other team.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Max Headroom 10028 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-31-12, 08:49 AM (EST) 11. "RE: They lied." The first leg is a crapshoot with 11 teams competing, so this is an obvious hedge by CBS. The likelihood of having to pay double is no higher than 9.09%, and there's a good chance the leg 1 winner will be philiminated before the finale.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

mikey 1136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 09-02-12, 11:19 PM (EST) 12. "RE: They lied." LAST EDITED ON 09-02-12 AT 11:22 PM (EST) My son was running the numbers of past seasons from rough memory-- thought it has happened 6 times or 30 percent of the time that team winning first leg won the whole race. i do not know all the figures, but I suspect that the prize money is not that huge a part of the show's expenses. They get 12 episodes out of the show and have huge production costs.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

byoffer 15808 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-06-12, 01:58 PM (EST) 15. "RE: They lied." I agree that the $1M is a small part of the budget. IMO, the show will want the team winning the first leg to make it to the end, as the chanec to have a team win $2M will get the show a lot of free advertising hype. Would the other teams care is another team had a chance to double dip? This wouldn't take money out of their own pockets. The only thing I can see hurting the first team is just a reminder to the other teams that they can be a winning team. If another team wins ep 2 & 3, the latter would get a bigger target than the team who won ep 1.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
