Season 15 of The Amazing Race gets underway Sunday night. As fans of the show may recall, last season's winners of the $1 million prize were siblings Victor and Tammy. Victor is a partner at O'Melveny & Myers, and sister Tammy is an associate at Quinn Emanuel. This season only one contestant is a lawyer: "Lance" (of "Lance and Keri"). But other contestants include a team of professional poker players ("Maria and Tiffany"), a pair of Harlem Globetrotters ("Herbert and Nathaniel"), a former Miss America ("Ericka" from team "Brian and Ericka"), married yoga teachers ("Eric and Lisa"), and a professional songwriter ("Canaan" of "Mika and Canaan").
Hey, when will we see a team of bloggers? Who's ready to partner-up with me for Amazing Race 16? Al? Kim? Calvin? Jacqui? Here's the application!
I seem to recall having tried out for the role of professor in the Real Gilligan's Island some years back. Not sure I'd be the best partner for the amazing race.

Well, I'm directionally challenged and afraid of bugs and rodents (and snakes). I guess maybe I'm not as adventurous as I thought I was . . .

Hey - I'll do it! But I need help answering some of the questions on the application form. For example:
1/ Can a university professor really manage to describe what they do in two sentences?
2/ Is there ANY way any description of what we do has ANY relevance to winning the Amazing Race?
3/ What famous person reminds me of myself?
4/ And most importantly, what famous person reminds me of Tim???

One more thing, Tim. When it comes times for a post on entertainment law (or the law of reality tv shows), you should talk about the application's arbitration provision.
