'Race' a nice change of pace from Oscars
Uchenna and Joyce get their bearings in Quito, Ecuador, leg of "The Amazing Race: All-Stars."
If the Oscar races on ABC Sunday night don't interest you, there are other options.
Fresh episodes of NBC's "Grease: You're the One That I Want" and CBS' "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" are on at 8 opposite the Academy Awards.
As alternatives go, "Grease" is a waste. But "Amazing Race: All-Stars," which began last Sunday, is another of the show's patented, enjoyable high-speed chases. And this time, most of the faces are familiar right from the start.
Even if you're a less than loyal viewer of "Amazing Race," chances are you will recognize a few of the all-star players. Certainly, it's easy to recognize Rob and Amber, who competed on "Survivor" before turning their celebrity status into a ticket to "Amazing Race" and a few other reality showcases.
"I've had enough of Rob and Amber," one fellow contestant grumbled in last week's "All-Stars" premiere. "I think America may have, also."
Not quite. At least not on this show, where Rob and Amber quickly shot into the lead, and, despite wasting time on a detour task they later abandoned, maintained the lead for the first leg of the race.
They're still fun to watch, and increasingly unpredictable. Last week Rob was nice, rather than scheming and nasty, to a competitor - while Mary, wife of Kentucky coal miner David from the most recent "Race" cycle, came to this rematch with an attitude closer to the Boston Rob of old.
Other teams include Uchenna and Joyce, who won the seventh edition and hope that competing again will help them find happiness as a couple; Mirna and little person Charla, the cousins with a lot of heart from cycle five; bald buddies Kevin and Drew from season one, and blond beauty-queen buddies Dustin and Kandice from the same race as David and Mary.
Last week, when the team flew from Miami to Ecuador, Mary noticed how her husband lit up while maneuvering a four-wheel-drive vehicle over a muddy, rough wilderness road and past a rival team's slower car.
"This is fun for you, ain't it?" she asked him, as they bounced past the competition.
"Yes, it is," he smiled.
For me, too.
