Oh my, I can't believe I have to post this but I guess I do.

Please keep the posts in this thread on topic; which would mean about Amazing Race 2011. Posts about spoilers will be considered off topic and will be deleted and infractions/warnings issued.

I am sorry to have to have this post out here in this thread. 3 cheers for a great, new Amazing Race!

Do you mean that posts complaining about spoilers will be deleted? I am just hoping that I am following the guidelines.

It is not a spoiler. A spoiler, once again, is telling people the OUTCOME of an event BEFORE anyone knows or it has aired. The list of contestants is not considered a spoiler. If someone were to post WHO won the next race or who got eliminated first before any shows have even aired......... THAT is a spoiler. I even found where the race actually starts and where they have to travel to. I'm not posting it but if someone wants to know they can find it or pm me. Even knowing all of this does not diminsh my viewing pleasure of the show.

If you think it is a spoiler or it would ruin your viewing of the show then don't read the threads that are titled for an upcoming season. The title clearly states, "Amazing race 2011". On every single previous race and even for the shows like the Real Housewives people have always posted in advance who the contestants are or the new person on the show is and a bit of their background. No one views it as a "spoiler" as it is not one.

I don't know what's difficult about the concept. If it's something about a television show that is not announced by the show's producers, it is a spoiler. Personally, I don't care whether I'm spoiled or not. That's why I knew the list was accurate. But others many not feel that way, so it's really not fair of anyone to knowingly spoil things for them. No matter how small of a spoiler. That's all I said. And then the attacks began.

And just what does the title of the thread have to do with whether spoilers are posted? All that means is that it's for discussion of the show. Should I post the outcome of the season, just because the thread title is about the next season? Obviously not.

I'm sorry that I'm not part of your little "community" here, and aren't aware that spoiling details about upcoming show's is permissible. It appears to be such a warm and welcoming one.

Awww, Beretta, as you can see by what I was going to comment on was gong to be just that! You
Spoiler
spoiled
my fun! So we can talk about spoilers, just not complain? LOL, just taking you literally.

Since I am the OP, I'm wishing all of you a fun time in this thread when the show starts up again. Go, I started the thread for the sole purpose of discussing who will be on in February. Notice the first sentence of the thread. I was soo happy about the Cowboys. THAT is what the intention of this thread was all about.

BTW people, I doubt this thread will remain on the 1st page, there are still 2 months to go, so if you want to talk about it, I'd appreciate it if you found the thread and resurrect it. It'd be a shame to lose the thread with all the stimulating convo there's already been. *Truth be told, I like being the OP of a thread!* "Vanity, thy name is woman".

I think if they want good ratings they should bring Russell Hanz on with his wife to compete with Boston Rob and Amba.

Also do you remember when they did the Family Race? That one family that was always yelling at each other. They cracked me up, they should bring them back!

no, seriously--no more family races. I almost tuned out for part of that season. Shocking since I LOVE this show. But that season could not end quickly enough for me.

SAME HERE!!!! No one in our family watched that season of AR after the second episode. It was BOOOOORING! Talk about a snoozefest. We are all diehard AR fans and that family season was just not exciting at all.

You're forgetting Flo and Zach from season 3. Remember her breakdown in Vietnam? OMG, it was CRAZY.
