Season 30
The Amazing Race 29 is the twenty-ninth installment of the reality television show The Amazing Race. Unlike previous seasons, which almost exclusively feature teams with preexisting relationships, this edition features 22 contestants who were all complete strangers; they met for the first time and formed eleven teams of two at the starting line. These teams competed in a race around the world for a US$1 million grand prize.[3]
The season premiered on Thursday March 30, 2017, on CBS for the 2016–17 television season replacing the low-rated action series Training Day.[4] The season finale aired on June 1, 2017. Brooke Camhi and Scott Flanary were the winners of this season of the Race.

Production and filming[edit]
Development[edit]
Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal was the first destination visited in the 29th season of The Amazing Race after teams started off at Grand Hope Park in Downtown Los Angeles.
In March 2016, CBS renewed The Amazing Race for the 2016–17 TV season, but was left out of the Fall schedule for the first time since season 12 and the entire Fall schedule run since the 2003–04 TV season. The show's Friday time slot instead went to new drama series MacGyver. It was announced in November 2016 that the season would premiere Friday, April 21, 2017 in its regular Friday time slot after MacGyver had finished its season run. On March 10, 2017, CBS announced that it was moving low-rated new drama Training Day to Saturdays and would move the Race premiere up to March 30 to fill the now vacated Thursday, 10pm time slot.[5][6]
The season will include 17 cities across five continents and nine countries over 36,000 miles (58,000 km) with visits including Panama, Tanzania, Norway and Greece.[3] Filming began on June 10, 2016 in Los Angeles,[1][7] and concluded on July 2, 2016 in Chicago.[2] For the first time in race history, the current route markers were used in Vietnam.
This season also introduced a few alterations to the Race rules. While the traditional limit on Roadblock performances were still enforced, there was an additional requirement wherein team members could not perform more than four Roadblocks before the ninth leg of the race. Additionally, there was no limit on how many times a team could use the U-Turn on this season.[8]

As announced by CBS, the following teams participated in the race. Unlike the traditional format of the Race, these contestants arrived at the starting line unpaired, an idea that Race producers claim fans have repeatedly suggested to the them in the past. A challenge prior to the official start of the race was used to determine a ranking of the 22 contestants. The highest-ranked unpaired contestant was then allowed to draft any remaining unpaired contestant as his or her teammate; the process continued until all eleven teams were determined. Selections were based solely on first impressions and the interactions contestants had with each other during the first challenge. Each team is listed with the unique hashtag the show's graphics use to identify them.

A red team placement indicates the team was eliminated.
A brown ⊃ or a cyan ⋑ indicates that the team chose to use one of the two U-Turns in a Double U-Turn, while a ⊂ or ⋐ indicates the team who received it.
A green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward.
An underlined leg number indicates there was no mandatory rest period at the Pit Stop, and all teams were ordered to continue racing. An underlined team placement indicates that the team came in last on a "continue racing" leg and was ordered to continue racing.
An underlined blue placement indicates the team came in last on a non-elimination leg and had to perform a Speed Bump during the next leg of the race.
A purple ε indicates the team decided to use the Express Pass on that leg; if next to a leg number, it indicates that the team with the Express Pass forfeited the Pass at the Pit Stop of that leg without ever having used it.
^ Due to a storm at the site of the Detour, several teams still performing the Detour received time credit. Time credit given to Tara & Joey and Vanck & Ashton pushed London & Logan from 6th to 8th. This went unaired.[9]
^ Kevin & Jenn initially arrived 10th, but were issued a 2-hour penalty upon reaching the Pit Stop because they were unable to complete either Detour option before safety and darkness made it too unsafe to continue. Liz & Michael checked in during their penalty time, dropping Kevin & Jenn to last place and resulting in their elimination.
^ Becca & Floyd initially arrived 5th but because Floyd did not have his passport, they were not allowed to check in until they found it and brought it back to the pit stop. Three teams (London & Logan, Brooke & Scott, and Shamir & Sara) checked-in while they went back, dropping Becca & Floyd to 8th.
^ Shamir & Sara were unable to complete the Roadblock due to darkness and closing of the shop; as a result, after all the other teams had already checked in at the Pit Stop. Phil went to the Roadblock location (the DASICO Umasida Dispensary) to inform them of their elimination.
^ Becca & Floyd found the Express Pass on Leg 1 during the Start Line task, and were required to use it by the end of Leg 5; they elected to go for the Fast Forward in that leg rather than use the Express Pass.
^ Becca & Floyd used their U-Turn power on Liz & Michael; however, they had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it.
^ Becca & Floyd were issued a 10-minute penalty for speeding; they elected to serve the penalty immediately. However, this did not affect their placement, and it was unaired. [10]
^ On the way to Đền Thái Vi, Floyd became dizzy due to fatigue from the Roadblock, and medics were called out. Long after all the other teams had already checked in at the Pit Stop, Phil came out to their location to inform them of their elimination.

Detour Roadblock Fast Forward U-Turn Speed Bump Pit Stop
Leg 1 (United States → Panama)[edit]
The pavement of Cinta Costera, overlooking the skyline of downtown Panama City, served as the first Pit Stop of the Race.

The first Detour of the Race was a choice between Scoot or Shoot. Both options required teams to paddle a traditional Panamanian vessel called a cayuco. In Scoot, teams had to beat a pair of professional canoers in a 400 metres (0.25 mi) regatta. Once teams finished the race before the rowers, they received their next clue. Teams that lost on the first attempt received a 50-meter head start for the second attempt; and, teams that needed a third attempt were given a 100-meter head start. In Shoot, teams had to row to a marshy area where they must use a bow and arrow to shoot down two silver fishes hung on a cluster of bamboo poles to receive their next clue.
Additional tasks
To determine the teams, host Phil Keoghan announced to the racers a series of cardinal directions and distances to find the luggage shop near Grand Hope Park. Once at the shop, they had to retrieve a suitcase tagged with the flag of Panama and return to the starting line to present it to Keoghan. The racers were ranked in the order in which they completed this task. Teams were then formed by having the highest-ranked contestant choose his or her teammate from among the remaining unpaired racers; the final two contestants were automatically paired by default. Furthermore, one of the 22 suitcases contained the only Express Pass available for the race.
Note
Right after the race began, most teams had to find a taxi and make their way to Los Angeles International Airport to reserve one of two flights to Panama. As a consolation prize for being forced to team together by default, Jessie & Francesca were driven to the airport by host Phil Keoghan himself.

Once they found the key, they had to find a cabinet with the same symbol and unlock it to release their next clue. In Knock, teams had to travel through the streets of Stone Town to locate three royal doors and knock on each of them to receive a wooden carving of a lion, serpent and a falcon. Upon collecting all three carvings, they then had to deliver them to a marked shop on Gizenga Street and exchange the carvings for their next clue.
In this Roadblock for this leg, one team member had to make a ladle strainer out of sheet metal. First, they must cut a circular piece of sheet aluminum to make a spoon. After that, they had to punch the center piece to make holes for the strainer. Then, they had to pound the metal into a perfect circle and attach a long piece of metal to create the handle. Once their ladle is correctly assembled, the supervisor would hand them their next clue.

At the end of the ride, they recited the three correct words to the tram conductor to receive their next clue. If they failed to say all three words, they had to perform the task again.
The Detour of this leg was a choice between Make a Mold and Grab a Hold.

If the racer was unsuccessful after 10 rounds the professional gamer would continue playing with one hand behind his back; if the racer was unsuccessful after 10 additional rounds the professional gamer would continue playing blindfolded with one hand behind his back until he was defeated.
Additional tasks
Upon arriving in Seoul, teams had to travel to Gangnam District and find an outdoor K-Pop performance at the "Gangnam Style" sign to receive their next clue from the dancers.
At Mugyewon Arts & Cultural Center, teams had to prepare the traditional dish kimchi after watching a demonstration of how to do so. Once approved, they had to transfer it to a jar, then bury the closed jar in soil to ferment. They were given their next clue after receiving a taste of the kimchi.
Leg 12 (South Korea → United States)[edit]
In the final city of Chicago, teams visited Wrigley Field, the home of Chicago Cubs, where teams had final task involving its traditional hand-turned scoreboard.
Airdate: June 1, 2017
Seoul (Incheon International Airport) to Chicago, Illinois, United States (O'Hare International Airport)[2][13]
Joliet (Chicagoland Speedway)
Chicago (Monroe Street Station)
Chicago (Chicago Water Tower, Buckingham Fountain and Wabash Avenue Bridge)
Chicago (City Hall Rooftop)
Chicago (Wrigleyville Dogs)
Chicago (Wrigley Rooftops – 3639 North Sheffield Avenue)
Chicago (Wrigley Field)
Chicago (Milton Lee Olive Park)
Additional tasks
At the Chicagoland Speedway, one team member had to join a pit crew and change one tire on a NASCAR race car in 40 seconds or less. Once they successfully finished changing the tire, their partner had to drive one lap around the track in 48 seconds or less. Once both were completed, they would get their next clue at the winner's podium.
At the Monroe Street Station, teams had to search the train platform for a city worker who would hand them their next clue.
The clue received from the city worker presented teams with three riddles which left them to figure that they represented three locations within Downtown Chicago: (1) I have a Gothic spire and I'm impervious to fire I'm 154 feet tall and no higher (Chicago Water Tower), (2) I am tired like a wedding cake from me a drink you should not take to find me look no further than the lake (Buckingham Fountain) and (3) I stand in the twin corn...'s shadow and control the Kupcinet bascule for those below climb the steps to my operator and you'll be good to go (Wabash Avenue Bridge). At these locations, they would receive a postcard from a designated person. Putting the three postcards together spelled out their next destination: City Hall Rooftop.
At City Hall, teams had to locate the rooftop garden, where they would find the city's beekeeper and exchange the three postcards for their next clue.
At Wrigleyville Dogs, teams had to make ten Chicago-style hot dogs and deliver them to the roof of 3639 North Sheffield Avenue, one of the Wrigley Rooftops, where a group of Chicago Cubs fans waited. After delivering the hot dogs, season 19 winners Ernie & Cindy would hand them the tickets to enter Wrigley Field through the marquee entrance for their next clue.
At Wrigley Field, the teams had to recall their placements in each leg of the race. One team member had to go inside the press box while the other had to enter the stadium's hand-operated scoreboard (pictured), which displayed the locations of the eleven Pit Stops in alphabetical order:
Leg
Country
Pit Stop city
5
Norway Ålesund
8
Greece Athens
4
Tanzania Dar es Salaam
9
Vietnam Hanoi
6
Italy Lake Como
10
Vietnam Ninh Bình
1
Panama Panama City
2
Brazil São Paulo
11
South Korea Seoul
7
Italy Venice
3
Tanzania Zanzibar
Unable to see the locations displayed on the scoreboard, the team member inside the scoreboard had to install numbered signs in the proper locations on the multi-level structure to indicate their team's placement at each Pit Stop, guided by his/her partner giving instructions from the press box via one-way radio. Once the placements were correct, they had to go on the field to home plate where the umpire would hand them a worksheet with equations based on their placements throughout the race. The solution would give them a three-digit number corresponding to the section of seats to search for their final clue.
Additional information
On the flight from Seoul to Chicago, the final three teams received a free upgrade to premium-class.

List of American Idol finalists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
American Idol is an American talent reality television series that first aired in 2002. As of May 2015, there have been fourteen seasons. Each season, the final round of competition features ten to thirteen singers. A total of 178 contestants have reached the finals of their season. The show's age requirements have varied year-to-year. Of the finalists, 55 of them were under the age of 20, including three winners and five runners-up. Season-one-winner Kelly Clarkson currently holds the record for the highest-selling album sales worldwide, with more than 25 million copies, while season-four-winner Carrie Underwood currently holds the record for the highest-selling album sales in the United States, with more than 13 million copies.
In season one, Jim Verraros, an openly gay contestant, was told by Fox to remove all mentions of his homosexuality from his online journal as producers "thought [he] was trying to gain more votes".[1] During the second season, finalist Corey Clark was disqualified when it was revealed that he had been arrested and charged with resisting arrest, battery upon his sister, and criminal restraint. In season five, voters claimed that phone calls dialed for Chris Daughtry during the first few minutes of voting were misrouted to Katharine McPhee's lines, when they heard her recorded message thanking them for voting for McPhee.[2] In season seven, it was revealed that Carly Smithson held a prior label record deal with MCA Records. Reports suggested that MCA spent over $2 million promoting Smithson's previous album which she made under the name Carly Hennessy. The album sold fewer than 400 copies.[3] Smithson remained on the show, and placed sixth in her season. Jermaine Jones of season eleven was disqualified for having theft cases and outstanding warrants on Top 11 week.

My Family and Other Animals (1956) is an autobiographical work by British naturalist Gerald Durrell. It tells of the years that he lived as a child with his siblings and widowed mother on the Greek island of Corfu between 1935 and 1939. It describes the life of the Durrell family in a humorous manner, and explores the fauna of the island. It is the first and most well-known of Durrell's 'Corfu trilogy,' together with Birds, Beasts, and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods (1978).
Durrell had already written several successful books about his trips collecting animals in the wild for zoos when he published My Family and Other Animals in 1956. Its comic exaggeration of the foibles of his family – especially his eldest brother Lawrence Durrell, who became a celebrated novelist and poet– and his heartfelt appreciation of the natural world made it very successful. Durrell was able to found the Jersey Zoological Park (now known as the Durrell Wildlife Park) in the Channel Islands. He also became known as a novel-writer and television personality. His books helped stimulate the development of tourism in Corfu.[1]

Summary[edit]
The book is an autobiographical account of five years in the childhood of naturalist Gerald Durrell, age 10 at the start of the saga, of his family, pets and life during a sojourn on the island of Corfu. The book is divided into three sections, marking the three villas where the family lived on the island. Gerald is the youngest in a family consisting of their widowed mother, the eldest son Larry, the gun-mad Leslie, and diet-obsessed sister Margo together with Roger the dog. They are fiercely protected by their taxi-driver friend Spiro (Spiros "Americano" Halikiopoulos) and mentored by the polymath Dr. Theodore Stephanides who provides Gerald with his education in natural history. Other human characters, chiefly eccentric, include Gerald's private tutors, the artistic and literary visitors Larry invites to stay, and the local people who befriend the family.
Background[edit]
The book was written in 1955 in Bournemouth, where Durrell was recuperating from a severe attack of jaundice. Whereas Durrell often claimed to find writing a chore, this book was different: his first wife Jacquie recalled "Never have I known Gerry work as he did then; it seemed to pour out of him".[2] Durrell maintained "he had started off like a good cook with three ingredients which, delicious alone, were even better in combination: namely, the spellbinding landscape of a Greek island before tourism succeeded in spoiling it for tourists; his discovery of and friendship with the wild denizens, both animal and Greek, of that island; and the eccentric conduct of all members of his family."[3] The book was an instant success.
Although My Family is presented as autobiographical, if not completely objective, the events described are not always true – in particular Larry lived in another part of Corfu with his first wife Nancy Durrell, whom Gerald does not mention at all. The chronology of events as they occur in the book is also inaccurate, and the reason for the Durrells' departure from Corfu (World War II) is not given; instead, it is implied that the family returned to England for the sake of Gerald's education.
However, the book does succeed in preserving the impressions of ten- to fifteen-year-old Gerald extremely vividly and with a great deal of light-hearted humour. Despite the omissions and inaccuracies, Lawrence Durrell commented "This is a very wicked, very funny, and I'm afraid rather truthful book – the best argument I know for keeping thirteen-year-olds at boarding-schools and not letting them hang about the house listening in to conversations of their elders and betters".[1]
The book was first published by Rupert Hart-Davis Ltd in 1956 and in paperback by Penguin Books in 1959 and has remained in print ever since.
Adaptations[edit]
Television and film[edit]
1987[edit]
My Family and Other Animals was made into a ten-part BBC television series in 1987 written by Charles Wood and directed by Peter Barber-Fleming. It starred Hannah Gordon as Louisa Durrell and Brian Blessed as Spiro Amerikanos, with Darren Redmayne playing the young Gerry.
2005[edit]
In 2005, it was adapted by the BBC as a 90-minute film, My Family and Other Animals, starring Eugene Simon as the young Gerry, Imelda Staunton as Mrs. Durrell and Omid Djalili as Spiro. This adaptation was written by Simon Nye.[4]
2016[edit]
On 3 April 2016 ITV began running the six-part series The Durrells, also adapted by Simon Nye. Loosely based on the book, it starred Keeley Hawes[5] as Louisa Durrell and Milo Parker as Gerald Durrell. It was set in 1935.
2017[edit]
On 23 April 2017 ITV ran the second series of The Durrells, set in 1936.
2018[edit]
ITV is due to run the third series of The Durrells, set in 1937.
Theatre[edit]
In 2006, the Jersey Arts Centre's Theatre in Education company produced the first stage version, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the book's publication in 1956. Adapted and directed by Daniel Austin, the play premiered on 22 February 2007 at Rouge Bouillon School in St Helier.[6]
Title[edit]
Several works have referenced the title of Durrell's book, including Simon Doonan's memoir Nasty: My Family and Other Glamorous Varmints, Kirin Narayan's memoir My Family and Other Saints, and Josephine Feeney's novel My Family and Other Natural Disasters. In Nanny Ogg's Cookbook by Terry Pratchett, there is reference to a fictional book titled My Family and Other Werewolves. Clare Balding's 2014 autobiography is titled My Animals and Other Family.
