I was watching “Comedy Night Done Right” – NBC’s Thursday night lineup. It’s always cool to see scavenger hunts on TV. Here’s a quick recap of the scavenger hunt portion of last night’s episode.
Leslie has set up a giant scavenger hunt for Ben to discover her meeting place for their Valentine’s Day night out, luckily this was planned out weeks in advance. Leslie discovers at Galentine’s Day that Ann is in need of some much needed romance, and being the friend that she is, Leslie recruits everyone to bring a potential suitor for Ann at the Valentine’s Day Dance. As we get to watch that drama unfold at the saddest dance ever, Ben, Ron, and Andy attempt to figure out Leslie’s epic scavenger hunt.

CBS has announced the identities of the 11 teams who will be competing on the twentieth season of The Amazing Race, which will premiere Sunday, February 19 at 8PM ET/PT.
Like prior The Amazing Race editions, the members of the 11 teams competing on the show’s twentieth installment have a pre-existing relationship with one another. One pair is an engaged couple, one team is comprised of dating divorcees, two teams are married couples, three consist of family members, and four feature friends.
In addition, the cast also features one team that may already be familiar to The Amazing Race viewers: “Engaged Couple” Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas, who will be making their third appearance on a CBS reality series within the last two years.
Reilly and Villegas first met when they competed on Big Brother’s twelfth season in 2010. After beginning a “showmance” during the competition, Reilly and Villegas continued dating and got engaged on Valentine’s Day before returning to Big Brother as part of this past summer’s thirteenth season “duos” twist in which three pairs of former houseguests were given a second chance to compete on the show.
While Villegas was evicted — twice — from the Big Brother house midway through the competition, Reilly made it to the thirteenth-season finale, where she took home the show’s $500,000 grand prize after winning a 4-3 jury vote over fellow contestant Porsche Briggs.
Reports of Reilly and Villegas’ The Amazing Race participation had previously surfaced in late November when airport patrons spotted the couple being filmed by camera crews as they waited to board departing flights at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, CA, and posted photos of teams on Twitter.
The Amazing Race’s twentieth season covered 40,000 miles and included visits to five continents and 22 cities, according to CBS. Several locations were visited for the first time in the reality franchise’s history — including Paraguay and Azerbaijan.
In addition, the season will feature the teams taking on tasks such as skydiving in Argentina, training with the Masai warriors in Tanzania, racing through Africa’s “Garden of Eden,” and searching for King Ludwig’s quarters in the German castle that served as the inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty, according to the network.
The 11 teams competing on The Amazing Race’s twentieth season — and their CBS-released bio information — are:
“Married Couple” Dave Brown Jr. and Rachel Brown – Dave is a 33-year-old U.S. Army officer and Rachel is a 30-year-old project manager. They are both from Madison, WI.

We goofed. The CitySolve Urban Race registration went down for several hours on Sunday, which is why we are extending the deadline for the $25 per person ticket one day through the end of Tuesday, January 17th.
Why: F-U-N! You can win some pretty awesome prizes too! All of the money raised from this event goes directly toward improving the quality of computers at the school. That means ticket price is tax-deductible!
Ok, I’m in. What’s the damage?
The fee is $50 for a team of up to 4 and $75 for a team of up to 6.
Other details: Check in runs from 5:15 to 6:00. At 6:00 pm sharp participants will be given a map with some clues to decipher. Deciphering those clues will lead you to various locations in Noe Valley. When you arrive at the mystery location, take a photo of the answer with your phone and email it back to an address provided at the beginning of the event. The first team to complete the clues or the team with the most clues after two hours will be the winner.
Rules: Phone that can take a picture and send email. Be on time. Teams have to stick together and stay on foot. Bring a flashlight (or flashlight app). Charge up your phone batteries. Respect the neighborhood.
We here at CitySolve Urban Race strive to make things easier for all of our participants, which is why we are extending the deadline for the $25 per person ticket one day through the end of Monday, January 16th. I’m mean, who wants to register on the Christian Sabbath. Plus, you now have 24 extra hours to grab a partner or three.
