Yup. Season 11. Any torrent site will have it.
I wouldn't call them "all-stars" though. |

| Not all-stars, its awsome. I'm cheering for team Chachacha and the Kentucky hillbillies. I love this show, the best reality show on broadcast TV. |

Iraq Gunfire Answers Reporter's Question
By KIM GAMEL, Associated Press Writer
Mon Feb 19, 5:48 PM ET
SAMARRA, Iraq - The Humvees set out from the forward operating base, forcing cars and trucks to the side of the road to avoid car bombs. We head south to Samarra.
We rolled past men wearing dishdashas, traditional Arab robes, staring quietly from storefronts � where everything from wedding gowns to tires to bananas, cauliflower and radishes were on display.
It was Saturday � market day � and the streets were bustling. I felt an urge to ask the driver to pull over so I could check out some deep red rugs with intricate traditional patterns. Western reporters in Iraq are largely confined to heavily guarded compounds and armored cars, and rarely venture out onto the street.
But we were on a schedule. So I settled for leaning back � at least as far as my body armor would let me � and taking in the sights of this ancient city in the Sunni heartland north of Baghdad.
We drove past ducks paddling around a marshy pond. Then we crossed a bridge spanning the Tigris River, on top of one of two dams that help irrigate one of the country's main agricultural regions.
The dam was protected by heavy security.
On our left was the concrete shell of a former private hospital. It's off a short secured stretch of road that the U.S. troops here call the Green Zone � after its larger and more famous namesake, the heavily fortified area in Baghdad that houses the Iraqi government and the American embassy.
The commander, who acted as our tour guide, told me over my headphones to look forward. We were approaching the ruins of the Askariya shrine, one of Shiite Islam's holiest places. It was bombed a year ago, reducing its glorious golden dome to a pile of rubble.
That attack dramatically escalated the daily retaliatory violence between Sunni and Shiites, the bombings and death-squad murders that have claimed thousands of lives.
A second blue-and-gold dome at the site was untouched. It, and a golden minaret, still sparkled against the blue sky. The compound is surrounded by a high tiled wall.
Lt. Col. Viet X. Luong, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, offered to lend me his interpreter so I could talk with some Iraqis on the street. I eagerly climbed out of the tan armored vehicle to follow them into a convenience store: here was my chance to spend a few minutes outside my cocoon of armor and security.
But talking to ordinary Iraqis on the street is no simple task.

Wow. Rob and Amber. Three first place finished and now out of the race.
I predict Charla and Mirna will be the next to go.
I'm rooting for Ucheena and Joyce. They're probably the only team from the get go I'd ever want to hang out with. |

| I do like the Amazing Race, but this belongs in off-topic, not CE. |

| Yeah, let's not turn this into infotainment and bring discussions on TV shows into this forum. We are mostly all educated here and should be able to see the folly of doing so. |
