Well, hopefully this won't impact The Amazing Race in regards to ratings. Otherwise... well, can you say "The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition"? I knew you could.

I seriously doubt it. Phil strikes me as the kind of guy who Gets It. I gotta think he at least has a little of he producer's ears, and CBS is slightly more beholden to Bruckheimer Television than JBTV is to CBS, considering JBTV produces all three CSI's, Without A Trace, and Cold Case, in addition to TAR.

Among the numerous bad ideas that one could come up with, this might not be nearly as bad as many others.  Getting twenty or so willing participants might be a tall order (though in today's anybody's-a-celebrity culture, maybe not), but I see some real positives to a celebrity edition of this.

Well, they already had their bad idea -- Family Edition.

They came back to their bread and butter for the race after that and had another strong season, schedule change aside.

I doubt they're going to stray from the tried-and-true any time soon.

They might try having one celebrity team, if there's anyone out there who wants to do it (and I had seen somewhere that Neil Patrick "Suit Up!" Harris wants to be on the show)--after all, the season with semi-celebs (and that's generous) Bahstan Rahb and Ahmbah was their best ratings season--but I don't think they'll ever do an all-celeb edition.
