Phil Keoghan has been the host of all eight "Amazing Race" editions and will start shooting "AR9" in January.

That's interesting info if the article is accurate; the TAR9 eligibility sheet had finals this month with the race run in Nov.

not a spoiler
Matt Roush: I'm still a big fan of the Race, but I can understand why some are less enthused than you and me about the show staying stateside for now. (I've been told the teams will travel overseas before it's over . ) Something is lost when the terrain is so familiar, and I'm hearing groans of "BOR-ing" a lot, but I also like the idea that the USA has many places of its own that are worthy of amazement. Re-creating bits of American history (crossing the Delaware, a Civil War battle reenactment) is an especially appropriate gimmick for a "family" version, and since I lived on Capitol Hill in Washington for many years, I was amused by the reflecting-pool confusion. But I'm hoping these teams are tested in an exotic, alien culture before long. And what I like about having kids aboard is that sometimes they're a boon and sometimes they're a handicap. And good grief, are those Paolo kids obnoxious! (Amazing Race always gives you someone to root against, and they're top, or perhaps more accurately, bottom of my list.) So far I'm enjoying the show well enough, though I'll be glad when it gets this stunt out of its system. The show is still a welcome break after all the heavy dramas I tend to watch throughout the week — and since I'm not grooving on Gilmore Girls so much lately (although this week's episode is very good), it puts a much-needed smile on my face when I play it back at the end of Tuesday night.

--- Quote ---My Dad's an idiot.
As a lot of you know, my Dad's a producer for the Amazing Race, and he owns a risk management company for the entertainment industry.
He also served for 18 years in UK Special Forces. He worked for a number of years in Intelligence Analysis and Information Security, advising senior military and political figures. He's also got an MBE and three Emmy Awards for his work in the Race.
People say he's a genius. But I beg to differ. When my Dad and I are out together, he's a complete random idiot. I often end up punching him in the arm to shut him up, but he gets great joy in attempting to wind me up. So, I caught him on tape.

He does this when I'm with him all the time. Thank god he's buggered off for pre-production of the next series of the Race.

Unless you have your dates mixed up, this isn't true. My Dad's a producer for the Amazing Race, and he got home on the 10th of this month. I believe production finished on the 8th.
And if you don't believe me about my Dad being a Producer for TAR, check out my blog. I've had to try and prove the BYOND community that I'm not lying. =)
