'Amazing Race' Host Phil Keoghan Has Some Serious Baggage, Will Sell It on HSN

Do you know how to tell when a celebrity's career is slowly going down the drain? When they develop of clothing line or a perfume. That's a big warning sign. Licensing your name is also worse (ah hem Donald Trump mattresses), so when we heard that Amazing Race's host Phil Keoghan is hawking his own luggage line, we got scared for him and, as it turns out, rightly so because he's about to start selling it on the Home Shopping Network (HSN).

The collection is called "Phil Keoghan NOW" and Phil will apparently be sharing his “tips and tricks” on HSN on November 11th at 2 AM, 1 PM and 8 PM EST and November 12th at 9 AM and 6 PM EST. Both the 20" spinner luggage and the packing system are $129.95 each, while his packing system is $79.95. We'd hope, however, that any serious travelers out on the road as often as Phil (or even not nearly as often) would have already found a sturdy, stylish case right for them. Hey, even Target has some nice stuff in its travel aisles these days Victorinox, for example).

Follow The History Channel's New Travel Show 'Around the World in 80 Ways'

What would you say if we told you that the History Channel—not the Travel Channel— has an excellent new reality travel TV show? We know, it's weird, especially considering that flipping channels usually finishes with some History Channel documentary on the weapons of World War I or how the NYC subway was constructed.

This season, however, the History Channel has introduced Around the World in 80 Ways, starring Survivor and Amazing Race alum "Boston Rob" and monster truck driver Dennis Anderson. Yeah, we don't give a crap about Boston Rob either, but we do give a crap about airplanes, trains, boats, cars, rickshaws, camels and hot air balloons.

After a wrapping up the all-star 18th season of the Amazing Race with a nail-biter of a finale that included everything from getting waxed all over in Brazil to bob-diving through mermaids and underwater musicians in the Florida Keys, the racers took time out to party at the Loews South Beach in Miami.

The top finishers were in attendance, including first-place sisters Jen and Kisha Hoffman, second-place Globetrotters and hilarious pals Flight Time and Big Easy, third-place father-daughter team Gary and Mallory Ervin, and four-place BFFs Zev Glassenberg and Justin Kanew. For once, we can see them all cleaned up and in real clothes.

The 'Amazing Race' Has Its Own Limited-Edition Snapple Iced Tea

While the all-stars of this season's Amazing Race have tackled a ton of crazy challenges thus far, a memorable one was the tea-tasting task in India. Early in the leg of the race, teams sipped a hot mango tea. Later they had to taste their way through hundreds of teas to match the original mango cuppa.

The tea challenge actually had two purposes: to showcase India's more than 2,000-year-old traditional beverage and to highlight Snapple's new India-influenced tea. If you can't make it to India to partake in a tea service, Snapple has unveiled its new papaya-mango "Amazing Race" tea.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the cowboys started in last place, but ended up making the cut, as did the pink and black attack, who gave us a headache with their nonstop bickering. The BFFs came in first and Ms. Kentucky and her dad came in last, though they weren't sent packing—it was a non-elimination leg. Six teams remain. Will Ms. Kentucky and her dad be able to overcome their impending penalty speed bump? Who will get cut next?
