"The Amazing Race 14" returns tonight for episode two after a well-received opening episode, at least if TARbloob's online polling is any indication. The new opening graphics package, new cast and editing tweaks have been widely applauded by hardcore TAR fans.
After the tumultuous dating couple Preston & Jennifer took the first rundown out of TAR14, the competition figures to be just an intense for episode two. The trick will be to try to get fans who didn't watch last week for whatever reason to rejoin the series.
It may be an impossible mission to gain new supporters at least for this week as TAR 14.2 collides head-first on CBS against both the Academy Awards and a NASCAR Nextel Cup auto race. Even if the awards ceremony is down in popularity, it still figures to take a hit off the already mid-level TAR ratings.
Academy or no Academy though, this blog will be online with my initial thoughts and post-episode polls after 9 p.m. EST tonight.
