Hey routemarker, do you mind letting me how you got the confirmed starting date for TAR5? All I've ever got from Seven when I've rang them is that it 'will be shown in a couple of months'.

a change from seven, better news!

From sevencorporate.com.au

On your marks, get set, go! All new Amazing Race coming soon to Seven. | 28 September 2004

The fifth instalment of the two-time Emmy Award-winning series The Amazing Race will premiere on Thursday October 14 at 8.30pm on Seven.

Amazing Race 5 features 11 teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship. The contestants travel the world, racing through several international locales, performing mentally challenging and physically gruelling tasks.

Without mobile phones and carrying only limited cash, the teams will be filmed around the clock as their wits – and relationships – are pushed to breaking point.

Those who can’t keep up with the quick pace will be eliminated from the competition, while the team to make it back first with all the tasks completed wins the global game of the century – and a $US1 million cash prize!

The teams in Amazing Race 5 are: Brandon and Nicole, a dating Christian couple from Los Angeles; Kami and Karli, identical twins from Eugene, Oregon; Linda and Karen, best friends, mothers and amateur bowlers from Palmdale, California; Marshall and Lance, brothers who run a pizza restaurant in Dallas, Texas; Charla and Mirna, cousins from Baltimore, Maryland; Dennis and Erika, formerly engaged, now trying to rekindle their love from New York; Bob and Joyce, widowers who found each other on the internet, from Mount Laurel, New Jersey; Colin and Christie, dating from Corpus Christie, Texas; Chip and Kim, married parents from Orange County, California; Jim and Marsha, an ex-military father/daughter wanting a closer relationship from Florida; and Alison and Donny, an on-again, off again-couple from Pennsylvania.

THE AMAZING RACE won OUTSTANDING REALITY COMPETITION PROGRAM in an extremely tough year, at this years Emmy Awards, edging out favorite, THE APPRENTICE (Thankfully).

The eligible Season was Season 4, marking a 2nd win in this category, for the Chip & Reichen season.

it did very badly for seven even stargate which was on at 10.30 with no promotion got higher ratings than playing it straight which has a massive promotional blitz during the olympics.
