"The Amazing Race 14" premieres this Sunday, February 15 on CBS & CTV (8 p.m. Eastern/Pacific, 7 p.m. Central), featuring eleven new teams with the shared goal of making their around the world journey first for a one million dollar grand prize.
In a refreshing change of pace, the series have moved away from its previous overabundance of younger and California-based contestants in favor of a more balanced field. TAR14 provides us with shortened stuntmen, an out of the closet gay father with his son and the program's first ever deaf racer. If the field can prove as entertaining as it is balanced, fans should be in for an exciting season.
On a serious note, the TAR14 premiere comes in the wake of a world economy plumbing towards depths not seen in most of our lifetimes. It is my hope that this "Amazing Race" will be seen as an exciting escape from the problems of the present day. Keep the faith, everyone.
