Well, I’ll declare: I was going to watch The Amazing Race 4,233 14 anyway, but now I’m extra-super-duper tuning in.
This season, which begins February 15, ridiculously talented director-screenwriter-actor Mike White (of Chuck & Buck and School of Rock) will be racing with his father Mel, a former ghostwriter for Jerry Falwell who quit, came out, and founded the LGBT activist group Soulforce.
If those frat boys from last season can get top three, then Mel ‘n Mike should at least win the million dollars. In a perfect world, they’ll also complete a Road Block that lets them bring marriage equality to a U.S. state of their choice.
I’m putting them on the shortlist of coolest-ever TAR contestants. Would you?
(Thanks to Roommate Joe for pointing me toward the link, which came from AfterElton.)

Oh my gosh! I saw a commercial for the new season (the one that starts “Why is the Amazing Race… so amazing?” or something like that), and I thought, “Wow, that guy looks like Mike White.”
That is awesome. I guess I’ll watch again for the first time in a few years.
