Amazing Racer from Current Season Named in Drug Scandal

March 10, 2010 at 2:00 PM | by JetSetCD | 0 Comments

Uh oh—there's trouble on the trail as an Amazing Race star has been named in an investigation into illegal drug activity. The racer, who's a Rhode Island cop currently racing as part of the 16th season of the popular realty show, is only in for bumpy roads ahead as TMZ uncovers the details:

According to the Rhode Island State Police, Louie Stravato has been put on "desk duty" -- after his name came up in a "four month" investigation into a "large-scale" cocaine distribution operation.

The upside to all this is that Amazing Race is definitely not a live show, so it's not like the racers—and this cop—are out there in the world somewhere, where's he could be in danger of being ejected from the show. It's already been filmed, and thus you'll find Stravato actually on desk duty and not guzzling beer on the road in Hamburg, where we left off with Amazing Race this week.

Although we don't know if he and his teammate, another cop, were the ultimate winners, we can't help but wonder what would happen if they did win the million and then we implicated in this scandal. Would they have to return the money? We'll keep our ears to the ground for more news on this.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, we started to see some discord between the dating divas. They just might be this season's bickering couple. And the cowboys snagged their second consecutive win. But we said goodbye to the super moms, who got tied up in a lasso challenge. Eight teams remain. Will the cowboys keep up their winning streak? Who will be eliminated next?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, things started getting heated when the marrieds and the dating divas made an alliance and started letting each other cut in the line at the bus station, a move that left the other teams pissed and forced them onto a later bus. But the cowboys used their noggins to outsmart the frontrunners and took first place, though we had to say goodbye to the triathletes. Nine teams remain. Who's getting booted next?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the season-opener, we met the 11 teams—which features semi-celebrities such as the Big Brother 11 winner and the former Miss South Carolina, the orator who gave us the "such as South Africa and the, uh, Iraq" speech—as they traveled from L.A. to Chile. The contestants mocked the beauty queen behind her back, but she sure showed them when her team made it to the finish line first—though a four-hour penalty placed them seventh. Most of the teams struggled on the tight-rope challenge, and it did in the high school sweethearts.

Ten teams remain. Who will make the next cut?

Last night may have been Valentine's Day, but Amazing Race fans ditched the pricey candlelight dinner and rom-coms like Valentine's Day for a bowl of microwave popcorn and the show's season 16 opener. And who can blame them, with this season's contestants including the ditzy Big Brother 11 winner and the former Miss South Carolina, you know, the rambling, gibberish-spewing beauty queen who couldn't answer why a number of Americans can't locate their country on a world map?

Find out how the ladies and the rest of the teams fared after the jump.

Amazing Race's Sixteenth Season Will Premiere On February 14

February 4, 2010 at 9:35 AM | by JetSetCD | 0 Comments

Here we go again—and we say that with a smile, since we're talking about the sixteenth season of Amazing Race, which premieres quite soon, on Sunday February 14th at 8pm EST.

It feels like only yesterday that we concluded our "Chasing Racers" map that followed Amazing Race 15's teams around the globe, as we've done every season, but then it still feels like yesterday that we watched the adrenaline-heavy finale to the very first season.

Who will be this season's backstabbing villains and who will be the cute couple whose mantra is "you can do this, baby! I love you!" We still have to wait and see, but already there's a spoiler on the web from when a traveler spotted the pairs on the road, filming.

SPOILER ALERT, after the jump

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, it looked like we were going to lose the Americas, but then the Globetrotters took a four-hour penalty because they couldn't finish a roadblock. It gave the Americas the chance to snag third place and head to the final three finale. The Americas are the only team to never have won a challenge, but will the underdogs take first place when it matters most, at the finale? Will the beautiful blonds snag yet another predictable win or will the underhanded hot guys' dirty tricks pay off and get them the $1 million? After visiting eight countries in 21 days and logging more than 25,000 miles, who will win The Amazing Race?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the down-and-dirty tactics hit a low. The hot guys jacked the Americas' cab by bribing its driver. The move left the couple in the lurch. Mrs. America vowed that they wouldn't play nice anymore and that they'd go for the jugular, but the couple ended up in last place. Luckily, the pageant queen and her hubby got a reprieve when Phil revealed that it was a non-elimination round.

Four teams remain. Which ones will make it to the final three?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the competition started getting fierce. The Globetrotters and the hot guys fought over a taxi and as they neared the pit stop, Flight Time and Dan fell on a muddy boardwalk and each one pointed fingers at the other for playing dirty. The beautiful blonds also foiled the Americas by promising to have their cabbie send them taxi, which they didn't do. Despite all of the underhandedness, it was Pinky and the Brain who were eliminated, mostly because Pinky had no idea what a candelabra was.

Four teams remain. What other lowdown tricks will the racers do to make it to the final three? Will they go too far to win?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, our favorite travelers faced one of the hardest roadblocks in the show's history, the find-the-flag-in-the-gazillion-bales-of-hay challenge. The roadblock made all of the teams struggle—for hours. The hot guys had a bitchfest, yelling back and forth, with Dan screaming orders to his bro Sam. Despite the fighting, the guys managed to finish the task. But Pinky and the Brain had a harder time. They arrived last at the pit stop, but lucky for them, it was a non-elimination challenge.

Five teams remain. Will the hot guys' sibling issues hurt them in the race? Will Pinky and the Brain get their stuff together and avoid coming in last in this next round?

When we last saw The Amazing Race, the teams jetted off to the Netherlands, where they had to don traditional garb, including clogs. Hilarity ensued when Dan and Flight Time put on dresses and bonnets. Mrs. America lost her composure when she had trouble in an easy counting challenge and the Americas lagged in every step of the race. But even after incurring a 30-minute penalty, they avoided elimination. That's because after switching back and forth on the physically intensive detour options, the poker pals decided to quit the race.

Five teams are left. Will the hot guys score their second consecutive win? Will Mrs. America's lack of counting abilities make her hubby reluctant to count on her?
