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.

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.

We had some issues with the U-Turn Vote on “The Amazing Race,” and it turns out you did as well. About 47 percent of our readers said they don’t mind the new twist, but they wish the vote wasn’t done verbally. Amen.
Like we already pointed out, the verbal vote in last week’s episode screwed over Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, who had to go first after a pre-determined random draw. They voted for Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, who kept things even by voting for the Reillys. But would Colin and Christie have voted for the Reillys had they not gone first and picked them? Probably not. The Reillys were one of the weaker teams left.
That vote set up Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle, who had the final vote, to determine the second team that would be U-Turned in addition to Colin and Christie, who received three votes.

“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.

Last week’s U-Turn drama on “The Amazing Race” was just an hors d’oeuvre for the main course this week. Because the U-Turn Vote is at last here!
The fight between Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, and Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo really seeded the the ground for the stateside debut of the U-Turn Vote. Really, you could not have scripted that any better between the train argument and the mat tears. Like, are these two going to vote for any other team to be U-Turned but each other? The vote will be public, so there’s no way to hide behind it or blame others.
See Nicole and Victor reveal everything you didn’t see with that Reilly sisters fight on ‘The Amazing Race’
Leg 8 once again takes place in Switzerland. The Roadblock will be inspired by William Tell and there is a task involving pulling a cow.

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,...

Still perplexed about that “Big Brother” beef on “The Amazing Race” after our super accurate dissemination of it? Don’t worry, now the parties involved have weighed in to clear the air.
In the latest episode of their podcast Coco Caliente, Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo give an in-depth account of their side of the drama with Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, which ostensibly erupted in Wednesday’s episode after the Reilly sisters told the couple that Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, wanted to U-Turn them, but kept backtracking and changing details so much that Nic and Vic wanted to ask Team Fun about it. “Well, I think people are confused,” Nicole says early in the episode. Understatement of the year.
Some background context first: Team Vicole says they were not close to the Reilly sisters at all before or during the show. Outside of the “Big Brother...

Leg 8 of “The Amazing Race” takes place in Switzerland and the episode is called “You’re the Apple in My Eye.” Put two and two together and you can probably guess what that is referring to. Yup, William Tell, the famed Swiss folk legend who shot an arrow through an apple on his son’s head. And that’s exactly what the teams are doing next week.
Well, not “exactly,” since there is no child involved; they’re just shooting with a rifle at an apple resting on a dummy’s head in a gorgeous Swiss field. From the looks from the press photos, the task is a Roadblock. Here’s everyone we know who is doing it.

The newest twist on “The Amazing Race” — the U-Turn Vote — will make its debut next week in the most democratic of locations, Switzerland. And this is one situation in which winning is actually losing. So which of the remaining seven teams do you want to “win” the vote?
As we previously explained, the U-Turn Vote is not new to the franchise itself; its long been a staple of the Israeli, Chinese, Australian and Filipino versions. The Israeli version introduced it on its second season in 2011. The U.S. version might tweak it, but it basically works as you’d expect: At the start of the leg, the teams each vote for who should be U-Turned. The team that receives the most votes will be U-Turned and has to complete both Detours.
Given all the U-Turn drama on Leg 7 between Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, and Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo,...

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.

After making rolex in Uganda, the remaining seven teams on “The Amazing Race” are now off to Switzerland, aka home of Rolex! Did they plan it this way? Let’s hope so. Too bad Janelle Pierzina isn’t around to enjoy this.
The jaw-dropping moment of Wednesday’s episode will for sure be the Roadblock, which will have racers leaping 400 feet into the Gletscherschlucht Glacier Gorge. Between this and the zipline in Dubai, this season is not for the faint of heart.
But the drama of the hour — however much there actually is — will come courtesy of Rachel Reilly, of course. She’s very peeved about something Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo did, which may or may not involve the U-Turn Vote. Seeing as how the show has not even teased the new U-Turn Vote this week, you may want to lean on “not.”

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.

But 43 percent of readers think a “Big Brother” team can snap that streak.

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!

Wednesday’s “The Amazing Race” is dino-mite. Or at least one task is.
Leg 5 takes the top eight teams to Dubai, where one of the tasks is in its famous Dinosaur Park. And it goes without saying that the Tptb will not pass up the opportunity to have everyone dress up as these prehistoric beasts. So get ready for everyone running around as T-Rexes! As seen in the sneak peek above, the teams have to haul their dino tail around the park to collect five different colored glowing eggs. Look at how all those little dino butts wiggle! If no one says “hold on to your butts,” then what is even the point?

“We had to put on a Tyrannosaurus Rex outfit and Bret [Labelle] came around the corner and it was like Godzilla was in Dubai,” Chris Hammons jokes. Not a joke: Bret accidentally running out of the park.

After a “Survivor”-induced break, “The Amazing Race” is back on Wednesday with two episodes to make it up to us. And you know what else is returning? The Head-to-Head Battle.
Yup, the two-team face-off is back. CBS has released the loglines for both episodes, which are the fifth and sixth legs. The first hour, starting in the show’s new time slot of 8/7c, takes the remaining eight teams to Dubai, where they will “take a leap of faith when choosing which detour challenge to take on, and a split-second decision may make or break one team’s life in the race.” The Head-to-Head Battle is in the second hour, which takes place in Uganda, and based on this description, it’ll probably involve drums: “Teams must drum up enough strength for an intense Head-to-Head Battle before checking into the mat.”
See It’s gonna be another long wait...

Fifth time’s the charm? Only alums from “The Amazing Race” have won the first four legs of Season 31 so far, which makes sense since this ain’t their first rodeo like it is for the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” teams. That streak will end eventually and 78 percent of our readers believe it will be Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo who do it.
Team Vicole is by far the safest bet. The “Big Brother” couple has performed the best out of the non-“Race” teams, notching three straight second-place finishes after coming in sixth the first leg. Two of those silvers could’ve been golds: Nicole was tricked by the Afghanimals in the second leg, who told her she was going the wrong way, and she and Victor were neck and neck with Colin Guinn and Christie Woods heading to the Pit Stop on Leg 4, but actually went the wrong way this time.

Four weeks into “The Amazing Race 31,” the only teams to have won legs are, well, “Race” alums. The Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, won the first two, followed by Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, who dominated Leg 3, and Season 5 runners-up Colin Guinn and Christie Woods recovered from a Detour flub to take Leg 4 on Wednesday. It’s no surprise that the “Race” veterans are ruling the course right now, but which non-“Race” team — there’s one “Survivor” duo left, while all three “Big Brother” ones are still around — will be the one to end this streak?
The obvious answer is Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo. As Phil Keoghan noted in Wednesday’s episode, the “Big Brother” lovebirds have performed the best out of all the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” teams, finishing sixth, second, second and second. They probably would’ve won the second leg if not...

After our first non-elimination leg of the season last week, one team will definitely be ousted on Wednesday’s episode of “The Amazing Race.” Will it be lucky losers Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle, who were saved by the Nel, or another duo?
The remaining nine teams are staying put in Ho Chi Minh City for Leg 4. Chris and Bret have to complete that pesky Speed Bump on top of the regular tasks if they want to survive this week. The “Survivor” alums haven’t really adjusted to the freneticism of “Race,” so on paper it doesn’t sound good for them, but anything can happen on a new leg.
The Detour options are to row a basket boat to collect an item or to build a water basket. Get all of your “up sh– creek without a paddle” jokes out now. The Roadblock is to complete a training course on a scooter,...

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.

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...

“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...

If Rupert and Laura Boneham forgot which show they were on, that would explain how they got lost for literally hours searching for the second Roadblock in Tokyo on “The Amazing Race 31” premiere — nevermind the fact that they were right next to the site and walked by it at least once.
In a sneak peek of next Wednesday’s episode (watch above), the “Survivor” alums arrive at the airport and are greeted by Colin Guinn and Christie Woods. “I thought we were out. I thought we were out. By the grace of God!” Rupert tells them before recounting their four-hour debacle from probably not even 12 hours before.
“We spent four hours in that park running around looking for a hidden immunity idol, not a damn clue box!” he quips.
“We’re used to being tricked on ‘Survivor,'” Laura adds.

“The Amazing Race” fans are about to be introduced to one of the greatest reality TV heroes of all time: Rupert Boneham. Longtime “Survivor” viewers are already keenly aware of this tie-dye pirate from his four seasons starring on that CBS hit. Though he never claimed victory as the winner of “Survivor,” he did take home a special fan-voted prize of $1 million during 2004’s “America’s Tribal Council.” He’s that beloved.
In the upcoming 31st season of “The Amazing Race,” which will now debut April 17 on CBS, Rupert will be teamed up with his wife Laura Boneham, who previously competed against Rupert on “Survivor: Blood vs. Water” in 2013. Laura finished in 12th place that season, far outlasting her husband as he was the first person voted out of what turned out to be his fourth and final run on the show.

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.

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.

Taylor spilled all sorts of tea about his pal Jay during Tribal Council on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-x, virtually guaranteeing that Jay-Bird would be the third consecutive millennial targeted by the other castaways. But Jay lucked out because loose lips began sinking ships left and right, and the Gen-Xers dealt with internal fissures that had all the power players preoccupied. On the downside, Jay's idol became public knowledge, but on the upside, he had the balls to not use it and then won individual immunity.
