The Amazing Race is a thrilling reality TV series that has captured the hearts of viewers since its debut in 2001. Unlike any other show, it features a unique combination of adventure, drama, and strategy. Teams of two race around the world, completing challenges and navigating unknown territory.
Over the years, the CBS competition has attracted a diverse and impressive cast, including the oldest contestant: a grandmother in her late 70s.

Jan Caruana is setting the record straight when it comes to her Mean Girls character's hairstyle. In case it's been a moment since you re-watched the iconic 2004 teen comedy, let us fill you in. Jan's character, Emma Gerber, is one of the film's Spring Fling attendees that Lindsay Lohan's character, Cady Heron, compliments in a moving speech after being crowned the event's Queen. Turning her attention to Emma, Cady remarks, "That hairdo must've taken hours and you look really pretty." In the scene, Emma's hair is pulled back into an updo that is complete with flowers pinned in the back. However, in a recent tweet, Korey Kuhl...

After two cruel fourth-place finishes on Seasons 20 and 24, the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, finally ended their Leg 11 curse on Wednesday’s finale of “The Amazing Race 31” by not only making the final three but winning Leg 11. But then the good times quickly stopped. Upon landing in Detroit, they got an early lead, but then Leo got stumped on the Roadblock — not exactly unlike how he struggled with the Leg 11 Roadblock in Season 23. Having never used a combination lock before, he spent so long at the bank vault that Colin Guinn and Tyler Oakley both passed him on what looked like their first attempts. From then on, it was a two-team battle between Colin and Christie Woods, who won, and Tyler and Korey Kuhl. So you can say they were locked out of first place (#sorrynotsorry).
So what exactly was Leo doing with the lock (or not doing)? How far behind were they?...

It was anyone’s game on Wednesday’s season finale of “The Amazing Race 31” — or well, just Colin Guinn and Christie Woods‘, and Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl‘s. After passing Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran at the Roadblock, the two teams kept swapping positions and were neck and neck at the final task, assembling a drum set. Each had an error, but it was Colin and Christie who fixed theirs first and cruised to the $1 million. And we do mean “cruised” in that the spread was not as close as the edit made it out to be, according to Tyler and Korey.
The BFFs did improve on their third-place finish in Season 28, but is that worse than almost tasting the $1 million. See what they say in our exit interview below.

Colin Guinn and Christie Woods were one of the best teams to never win “The Amazing Race.” They were also one of the most, uh, intense teams ever back in Season 5, where they ultimately came in second after winning a then-record six legs that season. But now they’ve shed both those titles. After trading the lead back and forth with Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl on Wednesday’s Season 31 finale, they took a moment, figured out what was wrong with their drum kit and crossed the finish line first, 15 years and zero “My ox is broken!”-esque meltdowns later. Zen Colin and Christie, who’ve gone from snipping at each other on the show in 2004 to now sharing life and relationship advice, are a far cry from their former hotheaded selves. And that, they say, is why they wanted return to the “Race” in the first place, older and wiser.

Colin Guinn and Christie Woods didn’t just win the $1 million on Wednesday’s finale of “The Amazing Race 31,” but they tied three records to boot. The couple now has the most career leg wins at nine, the most career top three finishes at 20 and is one of three teams to complete the “Race” course twice.
Colin and Christie’s first place in the final leg locked them with runners-up Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, who achieved nine career wins with their fourth consecutive top placement in Leg 9 to go with their five in Season 28. They beat the career record previously held by Rachel and Dave Brown, who more impressively won eight legs in a single season (still a record) on Season 20 versus taking two seasons to do so like Colin and Christie, and Tyler and Korey.

After eight countries, we’ve reached the end of the line on this reality showdown. The season finale of “The Amazing Race 31” is upon us, and one team will walk away with the $1 million at the end of Wednesday’s two-hour closer.
The double episode will cover Legs 11 and 12. The fourth place team will be eliminated at the end of the first hour, which takes place in London and includes a helicopter ride to Dover Castle. If you’ve watched the preview closely or just read our totally accurate analysis, you’ll know who finished in fourth place. The final leg takes place in Detroit, where racers will have to rappel down the city’s famed Guardian Building.

The two-hour finale of “The Amazing Race” airs tonight (June 26) on CBS. Four teams are fighting it out to be first to the final mat and claim the one million prize. They are, in order of their finish on leg 10: Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, and Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo. The first three teams are “Tar” alums while Nicole and Victor came to fame on “Big Brother.” Spoilers ahead.
One of this foursome will be eliminated in leg 11, which took place in London. And one of the remaining three teams triumphed 24 hours later in Detroit. We know from the preview trailer that Nicole and Victor do not number among the final three. The irony is that Nicole is from Ubly, Michigan which is 100 miles north of the Motor City. Small consolation but Nicole and Victor did the best...

It’s been all-“Race” teams all the time on “The Amazing Race,” and you really hope that doesn’t continue in the two-hour finale. In a recent poll, 77 percent of our readers are rooting for Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo, the final non-“Race” team left, to prevent an all-“Race” final three.
Nic and Vic are up against the three remaining “Race” teams: Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, and Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran. In the preview after last week’s episode, Korey says he and Tyler would love to have an all-“Race” final three, and Nicole later says that the “Race” teams are working together without her and Victor. And really, you can’t blame the “Race” teams for working together and they probably wouldn’t be upset if an all-“Race” final three didn’t come to fruition.

Wednesday’s two-hour finale of “The Amazing Race 31” will cut the fourth-place team at the end of the first hour, and if you watch the new preview above very carefully, you can figure out who the final three teams are.
This is the danger of “Race’s” two-hour finales: The show has to edit together previews that highlight all the teams but are vague enough that don’t give away who doesn’t make the final three. But its own previews and press photos in the past have self-spoiled, and it’s happened again.
If you don’t want to know, get out of here. If you never wanted to know, what the hell are you even doing here?
So, first things first, the final four — Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, and Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo — will jet to London,...

Rachel Reilly‘s new record on “The Amazing Race” looks to be short-lived. The three-time “Race” alum became the most traveled racer when she completed her 32nd leg on Leg 8 of Season 31 in Switzerland. She and sister Elissa Slater got eliminated that leg, so she couldn’t extend it any further. That allowed the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, to tie her record on Leg 10 on Wednesday’s episode in the Netherlands, which means they could beat her record next leg.
Given how much the show drummed up Rachel breaking the record, Wednesday’s episode made no mention of Leo and Jamal matching her feat. But to be fair, the Afghanimals did provide a lot of content on their own with their ineptitude steering and finding boats in that canal.
With two cruel fourth-place finishes in Seasons 23 and 24, the Afghanimals came into Season 31 with 22 legs under their belt. Since there are two legs left,...

We’re almost there. After Colin Guinn and Christie Woods continued the streak of “Amazing Race” wins winning legs on Wednesday’s episode, we are one week and one elimination away from a final three of “Race” teams.
The only non-“Race” team left is Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo, who edged out Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, on Leg 10 after both were victims of the Double U-Turn. Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, and the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, round out the final four.

Leg 10 of “The Amazing Race 31” is just gonna be a massive case of déjà vu.
The final five teams are off to the Netherlands, where they will encounter a Switchback to the infamous pole vault task of Seasons 12 and 21. Let’s hope it’s as difficult and hilarious as it was in Season 12 and not in 21. Judging by a sneak peek of birthday girl Nicole Franzel flopping into the muddy ditch, we’re halfway there.
Then there’s a tandem bike task that requires teams to transport eggs to town. We all know what happened the last time Floyd Pierce had to transport something on a bicycle: He got heatstroke, and he and Becca Droz got Philiminated. But eggs are easier to carry than 2,913 shrimp traps.

Well, it happened. We’ve finally found a physical activity that Colin Guinn and Christie Woods haven’t done yet: riding a tandem bike. That’s one of the tasks on Wednesday’s episode of “The Amazing Race.”
“Today was our first time to ever ride a tandem bike. It’s like you go to steer and the bike doesn’t turn,” Colin says in a sneak peek of Leg 10 (watch above). “It’s like driving a barge.”
Christie is shown to be struggling hopping onto the second seat, but we’re sure these two friggin’ comp beasts got the hang of it at a certain point. And it’s not like anyone else is having an easier time. The Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, nearly fall over, while Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl eventually figure out a hack. “The rhythm that we finally got into was pedaling and Tyler not pedaling,...

It all started so well for Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle on Wednesday’s episode of “The Amazing Race.” They were on the first flight to Split, Croatia, with Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, and they were in first place when they arrived at the Detour. And then it all went downhill. After struggling with the snorkeling-for-coins Detour in the Adriatic Sea, they decided to switch to the memorize-a-poem-while-tubing one, but after one attempt there, they went back to the coins. After another endless futile go, they switched back to the poem, which took them 10 tries to complete. They ostensibly had a chance to catch up when Colin Guinn and Christie Woods forgot their gnome, but the couple retrieved it before Team Bromance could recite their poem.
Needless to say, the “Survivor” BFFs know they shouldn’t have switched so many times, but they think their biggest gaffe was something they didn’t do earlier.

After back-to-back weeks of U-Turn drama on “The Amazing Race,” Leg 9 is here to give us airport drama!
The remaining six teams are off to Split, Croatia, on Wednesday’s episode, but first, they have to buy tickets. And in a throwback to the early seasons of the show, this doesn’t come easily. And then there’s the fact that Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, may or may not have cut in front of Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo in line. The sneak peek doesn’t show the alleged cutting, but Vicole can’t get the early flight they want. Don’t worry, though, because the early flight, carrying multiple teams, actually gets delayed. This is the drama we are here for.

“The Amazing Race” introduced the U-Turn Vote on Wednesday’s episode, giving us not one but two U-Turned teams after Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, and Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater received the most votes. Ultimately, only Colin and Christie survived, coming in third, while the Reillys got eliminated. The U-Turn Vote certainly provided its share of drama, but like a lot of twists, it’s not perfect.
The U-Turn Vote is not new to the “Race” franchise, having been on multiple international versions, but the U.S. tweaked the twist by having the teams vote verbally based on a random draw. Rachel and Elissa went first, voting for Colin and Christie. Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo hemmed and hawed before he chose the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, much to Nicole’s chagrin, who wanted him to do the Reillys but was totally wishy-washy about it.

The U-Turn Vote is one thing nobody wants to win on “The Amazing Race,” but one unlucky team will on Wednesday’s episode. And if our readers had their druthers, that team would be Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, who dominated our poll with 74 percent of the vote.
This was expected since the Reillys are arguably the most divisive team left. And after the U-Turn drama with Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo last week — when they ostensibly tried to warn Nic and Vic that Team Fun wanted to U-Turn them only to have that backfire because Nic and Vic realized they just wanted them to target Team Fun — the Reillys haven’t completely endeared themselves to everyone.
The vote was such a blowout that no other team hit double digits. Next highest with 8 percent are the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran. They’re another “not everyone’s cup of tea” team,...

Another leg on “The Amazing Race,” another leg win by an “Amazing Race” team. The “Race” alums kept their hot streak alive on Wednesday’s episode when Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl came in first for the second consecutive leg. That brings the “Race” duos’ perfect leg win record to 7 for 7, but we also marked another milestone on the other end of the spectrum with the Leg 7 results. Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo getting saved by the non-elimination leg means that every non-“Race” team has come in last now.
The season started with five “Race” teams, three from “Survivor” and three from “Big Brother.” Outside of Art Velez and Jj Carrell‘s Leg 1 elimination — which was caused by Art’s literal leg issues, spurring their four-hour penalty — it’s clear racers have been superior on a show they’ve done before.

It will be a clean sweep on “The Amazing Race” by “The Amazing Race,” according to our readers. All six legs on Season 31 have been won by former “Race” teams, and 47 percent of fans now believe racers will claim the rest of the legs.
So far, the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, have won the first two legs; Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, took Legs 3 and 5; Colin Guinn and Christie Woods prevailed on Leg 4, and Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl won Leg 6. You just can’t buy “Race” experience, ya know? They are also the only “Race” teams left, outnumbering the “Big Brother” and “Survivor” duos four to two to one. So we could definitely have an all-“Race” final three.

For the fifth and sixth times this season on “The Amazing Race,” a “Race” team has won both legs. Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, scored their second first-place finish on Leg 5 after also taking Leg 3, while Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl came in first on Leg 6. Those follow Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran‘s twin wins on the first two legs, and Colin Guinn and Christie Woods‘ triumph on Leg 4. Yup, a non-“Race” team still hasn’t won a leg and we’re halfway through the season now. Can this “Race” domination continue or will someone break through?
Of course, it makes total sense that the “Race” alums have been doing well, especially in the early goings. This ain’t their first rodeo. But it is kind of hilarious and also perfect that they’ve still had a stranglehold on first place, as if to say, “This is my house!

After getting edited out of the fourth leg, the Head-to-Head returned on the sixth leg on Wednesday’s “The Amazing Race.” It took out Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes, who lost the final face-off to their “Big Brother” pals Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater. If you don’t like the Head-to-Head, you were Ok with that outcome since Janelle and Britney were already last. If you like or are even just indifferent to the Head-to-Head, you probably were like, “What even was the point of that? It didn’t change anything.” So we gotta ask: Is the Head-to-Head the lamest “Amazing Race” twist?
Introduced last season, the Head-to-Head has already been on numerous international editions of “Amazing Race.” The premise is mostly the same — two teams battle against each other with the losing team facing off against the next arriving team and so on — but they all occur at different...

This will chart high on the Fun-o-Meter. In a recent poll, 28 percent of our readers believe that Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, have been the most impressive team on “The Amazing Race 31” so far, which is already a quarter-way done.
Now it could just be recency bias here since Team Fun came out on top last week, crushing both performance-based tasks, dancing and karaoke-ing, which seemed made for them. Their average placement would probably be higher if they hadn’t been U-Turned on the second leg, making them hit the mat in ninth place, following their fifth-place finish in Leg 1. But to go from last to first is nothing to sneeze at.
In second with 24 percent of the vote are Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo. The “Big Brother” couple has done the best out of the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” racers, nabbing back-to-back second place finishes to go...

“The Amazing Race” is taking a detour into the water this week. Because that’s what the Detour options are.
New press photos for Leg 4, which again takes place in Ho Chi Minh City, reveal the Detour choices for the remaining nine teams — and who picked what. The options are to row a traditional Vietnamese basket boat to pick up items (the next clue?) or to build a water wheel. And just like the past two weeks, one of these was definitely the more popular choice.
Seven teams opted for the boat: Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes; Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle; Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl; Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins; Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce; Colin Guinn and Christie Woods; and Nicole Franzel and Victory Arroyo.

Slow and steady wins the race, or at least the Roadblock on Wednesday’s episode of “The Amazing Race.”
Leg 4, a second leg in Ho Chi Minh City, features a scooter Roadblock in which racers have to complete a test course. The course, naturally, isn’t just a racetrack or anything, but small circles and figure eights with arrows specifying which direction to go in. Sounds simple enough, but of course it’s not.
A sneak peek shows two racers tackling the course, Jamal Zadran and Elissa Slater. “It looks really hard, but luckily I have major balance,” Elissa says. Famous last words. She immediately goes out of bounds. Jamal doesn’t have any easier a time doing it, spinning off axis and putting his foot down, automatically disqualifying that attempt. We know he has at least four unsuccessful attempts and Elissa, five.

We’re three legs into “The Amazing Race 31,” which has already dismissed a “Race” team and a “Survivor” team, and has given us the first non-elimination leg of the season. A quarter of the season is now over, so who has been the best racers so far?
At first blush, it might feel like the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, since they won the first two legs. But then they ran a terrible third leg in Vietnam and barely scraped by in eighth place. They’ve also managed to fool everyone with their fake fights and wrong directions, so either everybody this season is gullible as hell or the Afghanimals deserve an Emmy.
The Afghanimals’ three-peat was thwarted by Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce. Team Fun ran a stellar leg in Vietnam, granted they were helped tremendously by the performing tasks that were right up their alley. Still, after...

Both U-Turned teams — Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, and Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl — survived the Double U-Turn last week on “The Amazing Race,” but one “Survivor” team did not, Rupert and Laura Boneham. Now the remaining nine teams are off to Vietnam for Leg 3 on Wednesday’s episode.
The leg appears to be a night leg, which is always fun. And this one relies on two Ps: performance and, uh, prawns. The Roadblock is a karaoke task, where Eliza Orlins does her best to troll Victor Arroyo, possibly because her public enemy No. 1, the Afghanimals, are nowhere in sight. The Detour options are to perform a synchronized dance or to fish for prawns. They both sound pretty easy, but the dance judge is not messing around here, and the fishing seems to be a waiting game.

“The Amazing Race” is turning into Dancing with the Reality Stars. Wednesday’s episode takes the remaining nine teams to Vietnam, where one of the Detours involves performing a choreographed routine in light-up costumes. And their judge is the strictest judge this side of Len Goodman.
“We love music, dance challenges,” Floyd Pierce says in the sneak peek above with a level of confidence that tells you it won’t go easily. That’s because the stern judge’s favorite word is “no,” which he repeatedly bellows to the teams who think they’ve aced it.

We know what the Detour options are on the second leg of “The Amazing Race 31,” and now we know who did what — and when-ish.
The choices are to learn the Laotian alphabet or to cook a dish. As previously revealed, Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins opted for the alphabet, while Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater cooked. Corinne and Eliza also revealed that their fellow Survivors Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle cooked, quipping that Laotian sounds like Bret’s native Boston accent.
Well, cook was definitely the popular choice. Thanks to new photos released by CBS, we can see that eight of the 10 teams did cook. Now, yes, this leg has a Double U-Turn, but CBS, of course, isn’t dumb enough to release photos of the same team(s) doing both tasks if the U-Turns were used.
The other six teams that cooked are Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran; Colin Guinn...

The Roadblock on the season premiere of “The Amazing Race 31” sure sounds yummy. CBS has released photos from Wednesday’s premiere, which takes the 11 teams to Tokyo, one of which gives us a pretty look at a Roadblock clue. Ok, you have to zoom in, but naturally we did that.
The photo (above) is of Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl biting into a geta, a traditional Japanese sandal. In Tyler’s hand is the clue, which is nearly a page long with instructions. The entire clue is not legible, unfortunately, but we were able to make out a couple of sentences:
– “When you think you see a sandal that is edible, ask an available salesperson to…”
– “When you think you have eaten enough, ask the manager to check your sandal.”
– “For the Non-Participant: Enter the shoe store and wait in the designated area.”
Based on this and the various photos,...

“The Amazing Race 31” cast includes five returning teams and one returning racer, and it’s no mystery as to who you’re cheering for: 33 percent of our readers are pulling for Art Velez and Jj Carrell to grab that $1 million.
The border patrol agents were runners-up on Season 20, an installment dominated by Rachel and Dave, who set the record for most leg wins in a season at eight. Art and Jj had a chance to upset the formidable duo when Davechel accidentally skipped the Roadblock, but Art struggled so much at the Roadblock that Davechel were able to return, complete the task and cruise to the finish line. It probably would’ve been easier to swallow had Davechel beat them outright. Art and Jj never finished lower than fourth, which will definitely be hard to duplicate this season.

The returning teams on “The Amazing Race 31” all have unfinished business, as none of them have won the $1 million prize before. Five of the 11 “Race,” “Survivor” or “Big Brother” teams this season are former racers, with another “Race” alum part of a “Big Brother” duo. But which returning racers do you want to cross the finish line first?
Art Velez and John James “Jj” Carrell
Art and Jj finished second on “The Amazing Race 20.” The border patrol agents had the misfortune of competing on the same season as “Race” GOATs Rachel and Dave, who set the record for most leg wins in a season at eight. Art and Jj blew their shot to win it all when Rachel and Dave accidentally skipped the final Roadblock, but Art struggled in the Roadblock, and they watched helplessly as Rachel and Dave returned, crushed the Roadblock and left them in the dust.

If you want to know who’s done “The Amazing Race” and who hasn’t, look no further than the sneak peek of Season 31’s reality showdown between “Race,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother” alums.
In the preview (watch above), “Survivor” stars Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins are lamenting in a cab about having fallen behind and blame those “stupid drivers.” Guys, “Race” is part skill, part endurance and part taxi luck. Everyone knows this.
You know who definitely knows? Rachel Reilly, who declares, “I’m not a rookie at this.” After twice racing with her husband and fellow “Big Brother” alum Brendon Villegas, the two-time finalist and “Big Brother” champ is racing with her sister, another “Big Brother” alum Elissa Slater, who announces, “I was made for the ‘Race.'” This is the level of confidence we aspire to have.

Season 31 of The Amazing Race will leave the starting line more than a month earlier than scheduled. CBS said today that the new iteration will premiere at 9 Pm Wednesday, April 17; it had been set for May 22. With that move, the network has banished LeBron James’ Million Dollar Mile from its Wednesday timeslot to Saturdays after just two episodes. CBS will air a repeat of NCIS in Million Dollar Mile’s timeslot next week.
Million Dollar Mile will air the remaining eight episodes of its 10-episode season on Saturdays beginning May 4, at 8 Pm with Ransom moving back an hour to 9 Pm.
The move comes after Million Dollar Mile premiered to soft ratings. It opened with a 1.0/4 rating and 4.1 million viewers in its debut episode, declining to 0.8/4 and 3.4 million viewers in week 2.
The network also released a sneak peek at the upcoming season, which comes with a twist: It will match teams...

“The Amazing Race” has a new start date. Season 31 will bow Wednesday, April 17 at 9/8c, a month earlier than its originally announced May 22 date, CBS announced Friday.
Leading out of “Survivor,” “The Amazing Race” is replacing the low-rated “Million Dollar Mile,” which is now moving to Saturdays at 8/7c, effective May 4.
As “Race” die-hards already know, Season 31, which filmed last summer, is a “reality showdown,” featuring alums from “Race,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother” competing for the $1 million prize. And yes, there are some legends of each game (Colin! Rupert! Janelle! Rachel!). (See the cast list below and check out the gallery above.) The season will cover more than 25,000 miles around the world.

“The Amazing Race” is finally returning to the CBS line-up with the 31st season set to premiere on May 22, 2019. This edition of the race was run way back in June. The 11 teams are veterans of previous seasons of “Tar” as well as two other CBS reality competition series: “Big Brother” and “Survivor.” As always, host Phil Keoghan was at the startling line in Hermosa Beach, California on June 10 to send these 22 contestants in a race around the world. The winners crossed the finish line in Detroit on July 3.

It is looking more and more likely that “The Amazing Race” won’t return to the CBS line-up until the spring of 2019. “Tar” wasn’t on the fall schedule and the Tiffany network has done well with all of its new hour-long shows. With none of those looking like candidates for early cancellation, there is no time slot open for “The Amazing Race” until they finish their first seasons. This means the likeliest air date for season 31 of this Emmy-winning reality competition series is in the spring of 2019.

After a yearlong hiatus, likely spurred by the shuttering of Fullscreen’s streaming service, digital luminary Tyler Oakley and his best friend and podcast co-host Korey Kuhl are bringing back their long-running audio series, Psychobabble.
Oakley and Kuhl launched Psychobabble -- which comprises “unfiltered gossip sessions, pop culture scrutiny, and stories never told before,” according to its iTunes description -- all the way back in Aug. 2014, and Fullscreen picked up a video iteration of the series for its eponymous Svod platform in early 2017. After Fullscreen announced that that platform would be no more, Psychobabble stopped posting new episodes last December.

Tyler Oakley, a top YouTube star and a vocal Lgbtq supporter, has expanded his special programming block for Pride Month this year in a series examining different queer experiences across the country.
Oakley’s 2018 “Chosen Family: Stories of Queer Resilience” series launches Tuesday, June 19, with an Lgbtq+ roundtable chat featuring notable voices in the community: Jazz Jennings, Joel Kim Booster, Alex Newell, Jackson Bird, and Annie Segarra.
The roundtable discussion over brunch is a reprise of his Pride Month event last year. Some of the talk is light — they’ll share about first crushes and kisses. But Oakley and the group also have frank conversations, specifically about the deeper elements of being Lgbtq+, including how intersectional identities of race, location, age, ableism and more affect the individual queer experience.
In addition, Oakley and his co-director, photographer and video producer Nathan Flanagan-Frankl, created six documentary-style episodes as part of the Chosen...

Happy Wednesday fellow Big Brother fans. We were able to find some additional news for the upcoming Amazing Race season 31 Big Brother edition that we previously reported on. First of all, a few weeks back, TMZ was reporting that it was an all-Big Brother Amazing Race season. The the folks over at Realityblurred.com said that was not the case, and that it would include former Amazing Race contestants as well. Well, it turns out they were both wrong. However, Realityblurred was more correct than TMZ because the new season 31 will also include former "Survivor" reality show contestants to go along with the former Big Brother and Amazing Race people ! We've also learned who the official teams are. The folks over at goldderby.com are reporting that Amazing Race season 31 officially started filming this past Sunday, June 11, 2018 with a total of 11 teams. Only three of them turned out to be Big Brother teams.

In 2007, an unassuming, bespectacled Michigan State University freshman named Tyler Oakley posted the first video to his then-new YouTube channel. Ten years later, Oakley is one of the internet's biggest stars and an iconic member of its Lgbtq community, and his friends and family have taken some time to honor him. To celebrate a decade of his videos, Oakley's manager Lisa Filipelli put together a supercut that features the best wishes of his YouTuber colleagues, his associates, and his parents.
As the montage begins, Oakley believes he is watching a compilation of notable moments from the history of his channel. Before long, however, Filipelli appears to inform the YouTube star that his friends have some words for him. Oakley's list of well-wishers includes online video notables like Joey Graceffa, Liza Koshy, Lilly Singh, Zoella, both Vlogbrothers, and his good friend/Psychobabble co-host Korey Kuhl, as well as his mom and dad,...

Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, Vine teen heartthrob Cole Labrant and his mom Sheri, and engaged dance sensation Dana and Matt had to jump off skyscrapers, fly over the southland, rappel across a canyon and rack up a giant word puzzle.
