"The Amazing Race 9" Moves To Its New Tuesday, 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT Time Period Beginning March 7

"Here We Go, Baby, Off To Win A Million Dollars" -- The three-time Emmy Award-winning reality adventure series returns to its international format where teams of two will travel to exotic locations, spanning five continents, with stops in the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily, to name a few. The 11 teams, including a Pizza Hut manager, a dentist, a science teacher, a children's minister, a retired physician and a valet, will compete against one another in a race around the world for a $1 million prize. THE AMAZING RACE 9 will begin with a special two-hour premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Starting Tuesday March 7, the Amazing Race will move to its new timeslot from 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT. Phil Keoghan is host of the series.

The race begins in Denver, Colorado when teams quickly jet off to their first location, Sao Paulo, Brazil where, upon landing, they must venture deep into the heart of the city to find their next clue at the Hotel Unique. Almost immediately, teams make their way by foot to Viaduto Santa Ifigenia, a pedestrian footbridge overlooking the highway and the Vale do Anhangabuau. One team struggles to locate the clue box, while other teams seem to find it with ease.

At the bridge, teams are faced with their first detour and must choose between finding a local motorcycle shop, where they will have to assemble a motorcycle from scratch, or soar high above the city of San Paolo in a helicopter in order to locate a specific building where they will find their next clue.

Interesting that we are an episode short. I don't think there's room for more travel with the dates, so maybe a clips show? Another TBC?


Knowing that we're not done in Brazil & that Russia comes next starts to lock up our route now. The Rome/Sicily/Greece legs might be interchangeable, but I'm putting Rome first because of the 9-team spoiler. I'm wondering if that spoiler might be just a little off though. If there were 8 teams left by then, that would make more sense. Maybe the "witness" saw extra supplies set up for the task, as has been the case before and assumed there were 9 teams. Unless we have an early NEL, which could mean there would still be 9 teams in Rome.

EPISODE 2 – 3/7/06
START: Sao Paulo, Brazil (November 9, 2005 AM)
FINISH: Brotas, Brazil (November 10, 2005 PM)
Take Santa Rita bus, do task at waterfall (roadblock?), ziplining, fuel task(?)
Possible location of VW bugs
TEAMS LEFT AFTER EPISODE: 9

EPISODE 3 – 3/14/06
START: Brotas, Brazil (November 11, 2005 AM)
FINISH: Moscow, Russia (November 13, 2005 early AM)
St. Basil’s, tomb of unknown soldier, diving task (roadblock?), doll/ballet detour(?)
TEAMS LEFT AFTER EPISODE: 8

EPISODE 4 – 3/21/06
START: Moscow, Russia (November 14, 2005 PM/afternoon)
FINISH: Rome, Italy (November 15, 2005 PM)
Mentioned by “witness”?, 9 teams remaining at this point, task assembling statue

EPISODE 5 -- 3/28/06
START: Rome, Italy (November 16, 2005 AM)
FINISH: Segesta, Sicily (November 16, 2005 late PM?)
Shots of ruins at Segesta, late afternoon shot of Joseph at Segesta amphitheatre

EPISODE 6 - 4/4/06
START: Segesta, Sicily (November 17, 2005 AM)
FINISH: Corinth, Greece by way of Athens (November 18, 2005 PM)
Parthenon in Athens, bungee jumping at canal in Corinth

EPISODE 7 – 4/11/06
START: Corinth, Greece (November 19, 2005 AM)
FINISH: Oman (November 21, 2005)
TV Guide article

EPISODE 8 – 4/18/06
START: Oman (November 22, 2005)
FINISH: Perth/Rottnest, Australia (November 24, 2005)
Sighting in Perth/Rottnest ON these dates at Woodside building, Fremantle prison, lunch stop

EPISODE 9 – 4/25/06
START: Perth/Rottnest, Australia (November 25, 2005)
FINISH: TO BE CONTINUED
This is a likely spot for a TBC leg, since we know they stay in the country until Darwin, which is not within easy driving distance of Perth (in other words, Perth & Darwin are probably not in the same episode), boat footage in preview could be ferry to Fremantle Prison (look at water off Perth on Google Earth compared to aerial shots of boat in TAR9 previews), snorkeling?

EPISODE 10 ( continued from Episode 8 ) – 5/2/06
START: PICK UP FROM TO BE CONTINUED (November 25/26, 2005)
FINISH: Darwin, Australia (November 26, 2005)
Crocodylus Park

EPISODE 11 – 5/9/06
START: Darwin, Australia (November 27, 2005)
FINISH: Lopburi Thailand (via Adelaide, Australia and/or Bangkok) (November 28, 2005)
Dates locked in because of monkey festival dates in Lopburi
Couple spotted in Adelaide trying to get to Bangkok

EPISODE 12 – 5/16/06
START: Lopburi, Thailand (November 29, 2005)
FINISH: Tokyo, Japan (November 30, 2005)
Shots of shopping district, Mt. Fuji

EPISODE 13 (HOUR 1) – 5/23/06
START: Tokyo, Japan (December 1, 2005)
FINISH: Anchorage, Alaska (December 2, 2005) – might be pit stop or just rest stop
K2 flying service, sighting in airport

EPISODE 13 (HOUR 2) – 5/23/06
START: Anchorage, Alaska (December 3, 2005)
FINISH: Denver, Colorado (December 3, 2005)

Just read this:  TAR will be making a change (temporary?) to Wednesday night @ 8pm.  They will fill Tuesdays slot with another drama.  Here is the link for the story:  http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2006/03/the_amazing_rac.html

"The Amazing Race'' makes a change
Charlie McCollum, 02:41 PM in Charlie McCollum, TV

Fans of "The Amazing Race'' haven't been too happy with the show or CBS this  season. First, the fall cycle of the reality show involved a "family'' version of the race that didn't click with viewers.

Then, for the current cycle, the series was moved to 10 p.m. Tuesdays where viewership slumped because a lot of the audience liked to watch "Race'' with their kids who were in bed by 10. (The fact it was up against "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' didn't help.)

So, to boost ratings, CBS announced on Thursday that starting next week, "Race'' will air at 8 p.m. Wednesday in front of "Criminal Minds'' and "CSI: NY.'' The competition won't be as tough either although Fox's "Bones'' and NBC's "Deal or No Deal'' have been doing pretty well in that time period.

The 10 p.m. Tuesday slot will be filled by repeats of CBS drama, probably police procedurals like the "CSI'' shows. The two freshman comedies that had been filling the 8 p.m. Wednesday hour -- "Out of Practice'' and "Courting Alex'' -- go to the bench for the foreseeable future, suggesting their chances of renewed are now down to about zero.

Holy cow and that is sooooo mandatory!! Don't they know they should have checked with you first?  :meow:

Are we expecting 2 or 3 non-eliminations? I ask because in Lake and Michelle's Finish Line interview they were talking about how surprised they were that they didn't get a non-elim. Lake said yeah now they'll have to have two of them in the next couple legs or something to that effect.

I think that Mondays (the apprentice), Tuesday (AI) Wednesday (AI & TAR) and Thursdays (Survivor) shouldn't have any concert, parent meeting, etc scheduled.  That leaves Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.  Hmmm....we seem to have a problem.   :lol3:
