The Amazing Race 31 Premiers May 22, 2019

Rachel AGAIN? Blech.

Ditto Tyler Oakley.

I can't stand nasal whiney "play dumb because I think it's sexy" Nicole Franzel. It's going to be very hard to watch - we aren't getting real people - we are getting reality whores who are competing for camera time. I realize that TAR is doing this in order to survive (ratings apparently went up with that whore from Big Brother and her homophobic and crazy army husband), but I doubt the season will be much fun.

and also - why couldn't they get the best Amazing Race team of all time - Charla and Myrna!

I hate the stunt casting. Just cast normal people, not reality star wannabes.

One of the things that made The Amazing Race so special was the fact that these were real people with real relationships. With this edition, they have completely lost that.

There is plenty to hate with this cast, Rupert Boneham and wife for me, but I suspect I will still love TAR and watch every episode. The nice thing about TAR is no one person can suck up too much screen time because the show needs to show the progress of all the teams not just concentrate on a couple of people.

Last year The Amazing Race 30 aired in January now we have to wait until May for a season to start. Plus they finished filming July 3, I just don't understand why they are waiting until May, almost a year later to air season 31. I guess CBS didn't have any new shows bomb this season where they needed a replacement.

[quote] and also - why couldn't they get the best Amazing Race team of all time - Charla and Myrna!

Everyone will never agree on who should have been asked back, I only vaguely remember Charla and Mirna, ( the correct spelling of her name) and we don't know who was asked and declined. I am glad they are getting these all stars out of their system and hopefully go back to newbies next year, provided TAR is renewed.

I'm not so sure TAR will be renewed as we are only getting one cycle a year and CBS clearly didn't think it was an asset to its schedule.

The good news is Netflix or some other partner would LOVE to have this content with a built in audience, so even if CBS cancels, someone else would pick up the format.

More Rachel? I don’t get it.

I like Tyler Oakley, but do I like him enough to watch Survivor's Rupert running and waiting for him to keel over and die from exhaustion?

Reading the cast of this season makes me want to take a shower. Big Brother and Survivor teams? This is so tragic and desperate. I think I'll rather wait for The Amazing Race Canada. So far I loved each season of the Canadian version, because they pick some great and likable teams.

Victor loves eating pussy! I hope they show him eating out Whiney Nicole’s snatch!!

Why not the two queens who blew an afternoon shopping in Singapore? I love those guys.

I believe they were in an All Star season as well.

The only people I look forward to watching are Colin and Christie from season 5.

Someone—anyone—please push Tyler Oaky into traffic

Photos of the teams

(It's interesting that CBS calls them "the cast" on its website.)

Tyler doesn't bother me and I have a huge crush on his race partner Korey

I thought that Caleb Reynolds was supposed to be on the show???

I was so looking forward to him...

Caleb was the sexiest m.f. on both Big Brother AND Survivor!

Caleb humping Frankie Grande...

Rachel and Nicole and Rachel's sister Elissa on the same seaoson? I might vomit. IT could only be worse if Cody and Jessica were on it.

Any bets on how soon into the season Rachel ugly cries?

Ugly cry, ugly laugh, ugly whining, ugly panic, take your pick.

Even the promise of Phil’s mighty bulge couldn’t get me to watch this.

Cody was the hottest guy ever! And he pumped up the ratings.

[quote] Any bets on how soon into the season Rachel ugly cries?

I was wonder whether Rachel or her sister would cry first.

And yet, every one of you queens will watch and post weekly about why you hated this iteration.

I hate all of this CBS reality show crossover crap. I have only seen a couple of episodes of BB and Survivor because I hate the shows.....and the contestants.....

TAR was fun because it was regular folks out to win the money and we saw how their relationships weathered the strain....no one was really fighting for camera time or trying to create a "character."

Now we get this! I'll watch for awhile....ugh....reality whores are NOT good TV. If I wanted to see them, I'd watch Bravo or VH1.

Hottest Man EVER.

Cody is like Andy Cohen short, and Jessica is even smaller. Their kids will be migies. And Cody is not the hottest to ever compete. This guy is.

Fuck yeah. I'm here for the clusterfuck of Corinne & Eliza. I expect cunty bitchiness and skulduggery. Though I would have loved it even more if Corinne was teamed up with ice queen dyke Ami . Still should be a good pairing if they don't go out first.

Big fuck no to Rachel. I am not looking forward to a puffy faced forty something weeping and wailing over a broken nail or her insecurities over a man.

Whiny crying Rachel? No thanks.

Will they address the recent death of Dentist Jim?

(And OP--the word is PREMIERES.)

Most likely suicide.

Due to the big lag time between filming and airing, lots of reported spoilers. I've seen the countries visited and the entire boot list right up to the winners and if it's accurate, a lot of you will be very happy. And it's being reported that the show has been moved up to April 17 behind Survivor with that Ninja Warrior knock-off going to Saturdays.

I hated Jim. Not surprised he snuffed it. Chronic roid rage, dealing with a dumb as dog shit, insecure, needy wife all the time and abusing teeth whitener and tanning beds. I bet he was a coke fiend too.

Thanks R38 - I read a spoilers article, and I do feel much better.

Janelle was the best BB player ever (although she never won). She is super competitive.

That Ninja Warrior knock-off, R38, is horrible! Have you seen it yet? Your thoughts?

I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Jim in his season seemed to have anger issues. I wondered if there was some verbal abuse between him and his wife (or worse) given the signs she exhibited, and/or some PTSD he was dealing with.

R42 Yeah, I watched the eps they've aired. It's a passable waste of time but pretty apparent very few if any will go all the way. The dancer was terrible and I was surprised the boxer, big as he was, did so well. Big, muscle-bound palookas usually get done in by their size but he had admirable stamina. seems like a better fit for Saturday night.

Yep, I agree, R44, and I wasn't a fan of Tim Tebow's screeching through the whole episode.

It's actually starting on April 17, not May 22.

Yeah, I mentioned that about 8 posts ago.

To be clear:

The Amazing Race premiere has been moved to next Wednesday, April 17 as R38/R47 mentioned above.

I’ve heard that Rachel’s pussy stinks.

Used to love this show but this cast is a bust and the fact it's almost a year in the can doesn't sound promising.

My friends, yes you are correct. The appeal of this show is that the contestants were people such as you or even I. I am a regular person just like yourself. I am not a millionaire or reality show whore.

Your continued interest in me and my partner is most welcome. And remember - learn to drive a stick shift.

Yes, R51! Amazing Race requirements:

- Learn to drive a stick shift.

- Carry an electronic toll pass from all sections of the U.S. Some cabs don't have them.

- Learn basic phrases in common languages.

- NEVER lose sight of your fanny pack.

- Don't be a big dick to airline personnel and travel agents. If you HAVE a big dick, however, please show us.

Any others?

Know how to swim. Don't be afraid of heights.

I can't wait for Wednesday,.,...the World is Waiting!!!!

Jim the dentist did have rage issues, rumor has it he was deeply closeted and could not deal with it ala Aaron Rogers.

The results of who wins each leg as well as the final are already all over the internet. They filmed this shit almost a year ago.

Tonight's the premier.

Korey got really fucking hot. Even Tyler looks damn good. Go Team Gay!

Some of those Survivor/BB contestants are even dumber than I imagined them to be.

Lots of fake drama in episode one with those two pink shirted women reading everyone else to filth. Can't stand Rupert, but his wife actually seemed cool - not fake like the rest of the cast.

Colin and Christie are so LA now. Janelle did not get a lot of face time last night, so I think she's a goner soon.

It was a pretty good start to the season, but I am afraid that other teams will start acting for the camera more so they won't be Philiminated.

Am I the only one who has always liked Eliza? She had to carry major loads in challenges when that fucking Scout would sit out every one. I thought she was a lot of fun in all her seasons (and pretty too).

Colin and Christie are my favorite team. Mainly because I find Colin HOT AS FUCK.

I don't like Leo and Jamal. They're still fucking obnoxious.

I hate Rupert, but I give him credit for finishing the leg. Those border patrol friends/lovers are pathetic. So he lost 40 pounds, but now he's in worse shape than ever? Good job.

I don't have many favorites in this season, so I'm going to go with the ones that I actually don't mind, who are Colin/Christie and Becca/Floyd.

At least I don't hate anyone as much as Jess Skank and Cody Trump Fan

The Amazing Recycle

Again, some of you will be very happy with the outcome. Just sayin'. Spoilers were correct for the first elimination. Cracked up at the pink girls saying Rupert's too old for the game.

Victor is dumb and cute.

I never knew him on Big Brother, but he is really attractive.

I can't believe that Nicole didn't like him. Was he on the season with Zach, Frankie, Cody, and Caleb?

Anyway, I'll bet he's really good in bed. Dumb guys usually are. And check out those HUGE nipples on him!

Who's this massaging Victor on BB?

Victor's boyd. O.m.g.

R52,I would add to your already great list,to read and understand thoroughly what the clues are saying.

When Korey ran out in his leotard to climb the slide, it looked like he was packing.

Victor went on a pussy eating tour across America after Big Brother and before he got with Nicole. He loves eating pussy.

Leo is gay, right? So that makes 4 gay men on this season?

Is Brittany the one from the BB season with all the racial controversy? The season with that awful Gina Marie?

No, Brittney was on the same BB season as Rachel.

The show jumped the shark when they brought in big brother contestants. I loved that is was once one if the nicer, fairer reality shows but they couldn’t resist the drama angle

So even with 4 gays no one is interested?

There’s been very little of Janelle/Britney-I hope this means they go far in the game.

No eye candy, R76.

Who's the fourth gay? I only count three.

R79, if Leo's gay, the 4th one would be Brett, the burly cop from Survivor.

I counted Bret, Tyler, and Korey. I didn't know Leo is gay! I can see it and he pinged, but I didn't know he was out.

Phil’s basket this episode!

Leo was gay from hello. C'mon ladies.

Becca and Floyd (Team Fun) seem very gay to me though they’re supposedly dating each other. 🙄

Do the Afghanimals have hairy holes?

I love the shit out of this show especially compared to The Bachelor and Bachelorette (and Big Brother).

I don't know how the ratings are but it's depressing how there are zero comments here after a new episode airs. Is there another thread or is there just no interest this season?

There is another thread on this season, but it doesn't have that many comments either

LOL why would you choose DANCING if you can't dance?

18 tries!

Brett gets hotter every episode. What's his story?

Team Fun are a lot more fun this season than in their previous season.

I hate the Riley sisters with a passion. They're so LA-fake with the lips, make-up, and speech pattern, and are completely self-absorbed.

The Afghanimals are always a good time.

The married couple - with the hot husband and pretty therapist wife - are inching closer to the husband's head exploding in a major temper tantrum like he did in his previous season. I feel like he's constantly working to control his temper, and he's not far from the edge at any given moment.

Korey of Tyler and Korey has turned into a cutey. I'm glad we're not hearing Tyler's annoying laugh this season.

Floyd is so sexy

I thought Becca was the fourth gay player.

I think Brett wants to have bear sex with Chris.

R93, Becca loves cocks.

I think Becca and Floyd are now "dating", but Becca does have a very masculine energy. Floyd is a little flamboyant, so they balance each other out.

I want Bret and Korey to hookup.

Bret is a butch Boston cop. He’s swimming in dick. He doesn’t need to slum it with a WeHo podcast queen.

I wonder if Bret likes to cuddle, because I want to cuddle him so bad.

Chris looks like a cuddler, too.

I imagine sex between them would be like grizzly bears mating in the wild.

Rumor has it the next survivor is filled with former amazing race contestants.

Interesting, R102. I read somewhere that we may recognize the next batch of Survivor folks, but none are returning players. Former AR contestants makes sense, although I'd prefer tribes made up of guys from The Bachelorette ;)

Guys from The Bachelorete would never appear on Survivor......no makeup budget.

Andrew Christian would be a great sponsor of that though. All the boys in AC for the competitions :)

Bump for the new episode!

The first five minutes of this episode have been more entertai9than the last three shows combined lol.

Bret: don't hurt yourself

Chris: falls down

"She didn't grow up in a trailer park, riding dirt bikes!"

Lol what a bitch

Eliza and Corinne thinking the guys standing up in the boats were showing them how to do the task is just too funny.

So glad those two bitches are out.

This thread was started first, so I guess this is the one we should use, but it's weird that both threads have about the same amount of responses

Eliza’s and Corinne’s bitterness 😂

Best episode so far!

I can't stand the Riley sisters. So fake and self-absorbed. I'd rather have Eliza and Corinne in the race over the Rileys.

I don't like the lip sisters but Eliza and Corinne were massive sore losers. Good riddance

When it gets to be too much for me.....I go back to the spoilers and I feel better.

So glad those girls are gone.....what a couple of pills....Eliza should have been eliminated for her eyebrows alone. And the sister with lip injections is another jerk.

I am glad the show is getting better as it goes along - but I can see why this season was held back so long. Maybe, Producers, it's because you stopped using REAL people.....the the REAL people who are watching can enjoy!

Glad those bitches got eliminated. Ha ha ha ha ha ha cunts.

Also different network, R104.
