Last night, CBS pre-empted THE AMAZING RACE to show some lame awards show. Don’t they realize that all the TAR fans want to do is watch Phil and the racers wander the world for our amusement?

Many of my friends have the same philosophy when it comes to appearing on a reality-TV show: they won’t do it. (Granted, one person I know did whore himself out to the reality TV gods, and everything seemed to work out okay for him, so maybe my survey sample needs to be increased a little bit.)

Still, if you are interested in experiencing The Amazing Race as a vacation instead of as a game show, you will want to check out COMPETITOURS: THE AMAZING RACE FOR REGULAR PEOPLE.

With the Academy Awards this weekend, Dancing with the Stars gearing up in a few weeks, American Idol still whittling away singers, the NCAA Basketball Tournament coming up in March, now is a good time to take a look at who the oddsmakers are saying is going to win.

The bookies at BETUS have the following for Dancing:

Steve Wozniak – 6000:1
Belinda Carlisle – 1000:1
Denise Richards – 750:1
Shawn Johnson – 250:1

And while some of these singers may be gone in a few weeks before the competition even gets rolling, they currently show American Idol favorites to be:

Danny Gokey – 350:1
Adam Lambert – 450:1
Matt Giraud – 450:1
Anoop Desai – 1000:1
