389: Is The Amazing Race Still A Top Finisher?

Resident Amazing Race expert Jessica returns to the guest chair to talk about the legendary reality show's unique thirty-third season: how it handled an 18-month interruption, whether we expect more from its production than we do from other shows, the true-crime connection that's somehow charming, and whom we expect to win. We went Around The Dial with the new Joe Millionaire, Married At First Sight, Letterkenny, Yellowjackets, and 9-1-1: Lone Star before celebrating a Tiny Triumph for Tara going back to March of 2021. Greg L. asked us to Pop Culture Veto TV properties before we went Down Under for Jessica's Canon submission from The Letdown's first season. History won, gas lost, and we boarded a rollercoaster of series highs and lows for Game Time. The world is waiting...for this all-new Extra Hot Great.GUESTS👤 Jessica LieseTOPICSLead Topic: 🌍 The Amazing Race Around The Dial: 💰 Joe Millionaire: For Richer Or Poorer Around The Dial: 👰‍♀️ Married At First Sight Around The Dial: 🍺 Letterkenny Around The Dial: 🐝 Yellowjackets Around The Dial: 🤠 9-1-1: Lone Star Tiny Triumph: 🎉 Soapdish Extra Credit: 🤑 Pop Culture VetoThe Canon: 🏆 The Letdown S01.E04: Trivial PursuitsWinner & Loser: 👍 Tobias MenziesWinner & Loser: 👎 Stephanie MattoGame Time: 🧠 Best Of Times, Worst Of TimesNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 389 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Jessica Liese on Twitter🎧 Jessica's TAR podcasts at Rob Has A Website🏔 EEHG 109: Adding To Paramount+🎙 Tara's interview with Tim Minear🔍 Best Evidence✂️ Jourdain Searles intro-ing In The Cut at the Nitehawk
