The Amazing Race [Season 29] - Spoilers and Speculation

[Macie Lightfoot]

so apparently this season is filming right now and it started off with twenty-two INDIVIDUALS and they did a schoolyard pick to determine the teams :conf::conf::conf: this show has turned into such a disaster lol

[MB.]

I hope one of the teams has Wanda Shirk on it

(I didn't know this was even going ahead so I guess that's... good news? Until I actually watch it and decide that it isn't at all?)

[BBfanUSA]

Might give this season a go then if it's all strangers.

The format is really stale however.

[Natalie.]

Do we know when this is yet? haven't seen anything.

[Benjamin]

Surely this must be starting soon?

[LukeB]

Surely this must be starting soon?

Not until next year. (I'm sure DTM made a thread saying no TAR until 2017).
