60 Minutes actually started at 7:17 pm. CBS milked commercials for more than 10 minutes!

Looks like 8:17 start for TAR
Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Yep. I confirmed it a while back and just added it to the Finale thread but this is a better place, so thanks!

Peach,  Do you know if a 10 year anniversary function is happening that same weekend?  I saw where Jodi from TAR 14 tweeted about it.

Thanks a bunch, KacperTolwinski.

In Miami, not New York or Los Angeles.  Wow!   I hope it's open to the public and lots of photos get posted to the web.  I sure would like to see some of the "old" racers again.  You know, back when the Race was hard.  :lol:

Yes, I know.

It is a VERY private function limited only to racers....NO guests allowed.

I can certainly understand why it'll be a "Racers only" event. 390 people have Raced through this season, and if you include some of the folks who have been with WRP and CBS, you could easily be looking at 500 people at  such an event.

Nearly 400 stars in 10 years. Never thought it would get to this point in the series, back over half a decade ago!

IMO, I don't see the point of mentioning it to the public & to media outlets. I would have kept this disclosed until after the event (if not very shortly before). Now all that may happen is people who won't be able to understand the meaning of the term "private" trying to get in.

Putting it here because it's the best option available.

My Mediacom program guide, which runs 15 days ahead, confirms that the April 17th episode takes place in Vienna, Austria. As usual, this season, no episode title provided.

I hadn't even thought about it until the announcers mentioned it during the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship Game, but the Masters Golf Tournament is this coming weekend. Which means the possibility of a runover. Just a reminder.

CBS has sent out an Eye-lert about the possibility of a runover due to the final round of the Masters.
I've read that there is a chance of rain both today and tomorrow, which could push back some of the players for the second and third rounds to complete their rounds to the following mornings; and that could also delay the end of the tournament.

If the Masters ending is "normal" on Sunday, my experience has been that with the Butler Cabin baloney it takes until about 710pm unless there is a tie. Augusta is reasonably far west in the Eastern Time Zone and official sunset will be at 756pm Sunday.

Today, Saturday, the third round ended at 702pm and commentary followed.

Here are the rules for a sudden-death playoff: In the event of a tie, the players who are tied will tee off on the 18th hole in a sudden death format. If a player does not emerge as the winner on the 18th hole, the players will go back to the 10th hole for the next sudden-death hole. Players will then move between the 18th and 10th hole until one player is left as the champion.

Let's assume that there is an extended sudden-death playoff (this seldom happens) until 8pm, then 20 minutes of CBS baloney. That puts the start of 60 Minutes at 820pm if by bad fortune that did happen.

CBS is planning to air "60 Minutes" so a runover to 8pm would set everything back by an hour.

Quote
A runover on Sunday, 4/10 of The Masters/Final Round could delay start times for 60 Minutes (7pm ET), Amazing Race (8pm ET), Undercover Boss (9pm ET) and CSI: Miami (10pm ET).

So we'll have to see what the situation is on Sunday; I'm not speculating beyond that.

Fortunately, there was no rain in Augusta, GA on Saturday and the forecast for Sunday doesn't mention any chance of rain or thunderstorms at all. Just mostly sunny, light winds and a high near 90 degrees (about 32C).

Masters Update as last 2-some started hole 10:


The Good News: Play has been moving right along. It took McIlroy and Cabrera 127 minutes to play first 9 holes. That translates into a 655pm finish before Butler Cabin and other baloney.

The Bad News: 3 are tied at the top of the leader board, which increases the possibility of the sudden-death playoff.

The traffic jam at the top of the leader board has gotten more complex. There are close to a dozen players who don't need to do much to be in the lead, and four of them are tied for the lead now.

It looks very much like Schwartzel from South Africa will win at -13, but if he loses a stroke on the final hole he could finish in a tie with Australians Day and Scott. We will know soon enough and the final group (who cannot tie) are one group behind Schwartzel.

I just watched Schwartzel birdie the 18th, so he wins.

I estimate 60 Minutes at 715pm after Butler Cabin dialogue.
