This was announced earlier today on The Early Show, which apparently only TAR and Survivor fans watch for team updates and castoffs.

AAAAAAH!!! I can’t watch the video here… someplace… due to a !&#$(!$ firewall… will have to wait until I get home.

New word: “Zomp.” Apparently means “crush” or “stomp.” Will probably not replace “BOMP!” in the hearts of TAR fans – this is the blaring horn sound heard at the end of the theme music, which indicates “Here we go, hang on tight!”

And yes, I’m wearing a Television Without Pity/Amazing Race T-shirt today, and it says “BOMP!” right on it.

Zomp, indeed.

And WOW! the TAR5 webpage is finally updated with the team information and cool stuff, too.
