Well, well, well

The Emmy-winning series, which moves to Sundays in the fall, will feature 12 teams this time, up from the usual complement of 11. Racers include the show’s first-ever Muslim team — a pair of Browns-loving best friends from Cleveland — along with an Indian-American couple, an amputee (Sarah Reinertsen) who competes in triathlons and a father and his lesbian daughter.

This is going to be more exciting than my imaginary Muslim Amazing Race because…well because it isn’t imaginary!

Shall we take a vote on how the Muslim team will be Philiminated?:

a) One of them shares the name of a “suspected terrorist” with connections to Al-Qaeda. He will be taken into custody WITHOUT charge or legal aid and we will never hear from him again.

b) They miss the bus/plane/train/tuk-tuk/elephant ride because they have to pray Asr (just remember, it’s traveller’s salaah so it shouldn’t take too long!)- and if this happened, wouldn’t they STILL be winners in our eyes? :)

c) They keep getting delayed because they have to go through all those “random” security checks at airports. Random SCHMANDOM we say!

d) They’re guys.

Who are probably of Middle Eastern Appearance or at the very least, a tiny bit on the brown side. (Haven’t seen any pics)

They will be running.

Around popular tourist attractions.
