On September 27 the eighth edition of The Amazing Race will kick off. This edition of the race will be the family edition, featuring ten teams comprised of four family members each. A profile of each team is now up on the website, and after reading through them I so know who I'm going to be rooting for. I can also guess who is going to annoy the bejesus out of me.

Anyway, the reason I am blogging about this is to invite you loyal blog readers to participate the Library Diva's first ever Amazing Race Pool/Smackdown. Some of you may have participated in last season's test pool (Yes, I'm a librarian and anal so there was a test pool. Sue me.), and the rules will be the same as before. Each week you will predict the team that will finish first and last in that week's leg of the race (first week does not count as that is our week for figuring who the cracker teams are). If you are interested in participating, send me an email by September 25 and I'll provide the particulars. It's going to be good. :-)
