One new show this weekend that reality show fans will be excited about: The Amazing Race is returning Sunday on CBS. It’s replacing the unloved Viva Laughlin – canceled after only two episodes.
If you’re an Amazing Race follower, you’ll be happy to see season 12 arrive much earlier than previously planned (originally scheduled for January 2008). This season is shorter than those in the past and doesn’t include non-elimination legs.
So set your TiVos or other DVRs to record the Amazing Race at 8pm ET / 7pm CT. Note that in most TV guides it will be labeled as The Amazing Race 12 so you might need to add it manually if your last recording used Amazing Race 11 like mine did.
Additional TV shows coming soon include Project Runway (11/14), The Battlestar Galactica Razor Movie (11/24), and The Cashmere Mafia (11/27). Other than that its all Football for me for a while.

I’ve been looking forward to the next season of Amazing Race. I’m actually happy to see the end of the non-elimination legs. I like the idea of one little mistake changing everything, and having 3 non-elimination legs ruined that.
I haven’t watched in a few seasons, but dumping the filler seems like a good reason to give it a shot – Season Pass added.
Well, I guess the removal of the non-elimination legs was not true. I just watched the first episode, and the host clearly said there were 11 pitstops, 8 of them elimination legs. If the finish is counted as a pitstop, then there are two non-elimination legs.
