CBS Greenlights Two New Reality Pilots
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, News,
Look for more divorce and crime in CBS’ future primetime line-up. But In this case both will be real.
The Hollywood Reporter says that CBS has given the go ahead to develop two new reality pilots. One is called Splitsville and will be executive produced by prank show king and actor Jamie Kennedy. The other, still untitled project comes from Tom Forman, the creator and executive producer of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and executive producer of CBS’ Kid Nation.
Splitsville is reportedly a game show for couples going through a divorce (since that is ALWAYS entertaining to watch). The divorcing couples will battle it out for their own belongings in a series of challenges. It’s described as The War of the Roses meets Let’s Make a Deal.
The other project, by Tom Forman, is a bit more serious. It reportedly features a team of law enforcement professionals who help people who have been crime victims.

The Amazing Race: Season 12: “Honestly, They Have Witch Powers or Something!”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The,
After the mandatory rest period in Florence, Italy, the five remaining teams began their eighth leg of the race. They were now set to fly 4000 miles away to Mumbai, India. Nicolas and Donald – the first team to reach the last pit stop – started their trek at 10:12 PM. Before heading to the airport, they researched flights through the internet. After securing Air France seats with a 10:30 PM arrival time, they went to find a few hours of shut-eye. Ronald and Christina were the only other duo smart enough to call ahead for tickets.

After their brief break in Dubrovnik, the five remaining teams made very early departures toward their next destination: Italy. To reach the town of Ancona, the groups first had to travel by bus to Split, Croatia. From there, the racers would jump aboard a ferry and travel across the Adriatic to Ancona, Italy.
Although Ronald and Christina were the first group to hit the road at 2:19 AM, the first bus wasn’t scheduled to leave until 5 AM. This allowed Kynt/Vxyin and Nathan/Jennifer to catch up with them. Eventually, Nicolas and Donald – who started off 5 hours later than the first team – even managed to get on the same page. All the groups ended up being on the same ferry heading out of the country.

The Amazing Race: Season 12: “Cherry on Top of the Sundae That’s Already Melted”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The,
After their mandatory rest period in Vilnius, Lithuania, the six remaining teams worked on getting to their next destination: Dubrovnik, Croatia. The first two couples, TK/Rachel and Kynt/Vyxin, made it to the airport within minutes of each other. Since it was still very early in the morning, the teams collaborated on their internet research. Although Kynt discovered that Czech Airlines had the first flight out, he chose to continue searching. Meanwhile, TK and Rachel opted to wait in front of the closed Czech Airlines office.
Instead of heading directly to the Vilnius Airport, Christina and Ronald chose to use a hotel phone to make flight reservations. Through LOT Polish Airlines, they secured seats leaving to Warsaw, Poland at 6:25 AM and arriving in Dubrovnik at 11:20 AM. When the father/daugher duo finally arrived at the airport, they decided to line up with the hippies and the other arriving teams outside Czech Airlines anyway. They wanted to make sure they had found the best arrangement. Instead of waiting with the other five couples, the Goths chose to find a travel agency that offered tickets to several different airlines. This bold move set off a wave of paranoia and another week of ticket purchasing confusion.
The Amazing Race: Season 12: “We’ve Really Burned Bridges, for Sure”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The, Features,
Last week’s winners, Azaria and Hendekea, were the first to depart at 6:45 AM the next morning. Nathan and Jennifer – the couple that narrowly came in second - started their way to the airport one minute later. After a lengthy stay in Burkina Faso, the racers were finally set to visit a new destination: Lithuania. Unfortunately, getting tickets to the country 3000 miles away proved to be confusing for the competitors – and bloggers (like me) at home trying to get it all straight.
Discovering that the airport offices were not yet open, the teams had to resort to internet research for the next few hours; they were only allowed to purchase tickets from official airline ticketing offices for this leg of the race. Aside from Nicolas/Donald, most of the racers ended up converging at the same small internet stop. (The grandfather/grandson duo found a different internet café to work out of.) After learning they would all end up on the same 10:45 PM flight into Paris, Ronald chose to leave the other teams behind while he and Christina searched for an open Air France location. The impatient father hated standing around by computers; he wanted to deal with a live person. Although they had some difficulties working with their French-speaking agent, Ronald/Christina eventually secured tickets from Paris to Prague to Vilnius (Lithuania). Their expected arrival time was 2:10 PM.
