(S13E01) "The bees are much calmer than all of this!" - Anita to Arthur
Well,
The Amazing Race has won yet another Emmy and tonight we were treated to the premiere of the new season. I've decided this is never a show to watch just before retiring for the night. The pace on the viewers might not be as frantic as for the racing teams. But as the music builds and things get frantic, it's better than a caffeine rush! Read on past the jump for the skinny on the show.

Jeremy Piven was unavailable this time around, busy as he is playing Ari in
Entourage, so writer/producer Rob Thomas went in another direction. Taller, by four inches.
Thomas has chosen Bobby Cannavale for the title role in Cupid for ABC.Cannavale, an Emmy-award winner for his guest turn on
Will & Grace as Vince, will be Trevor Hale in
Cupid. He's described as manic and charming and firmly believing in the fact that he is the real Roman god of love, Cupid. His mission is to make 100 love matches so he can earn the right to leave Earth and return to Mount Olympus.
ABC is behind this new pilot, an updated version of Thomas' 1998
Cupid that didn't make it past season one.
