Amazing Race In, Not-so-amazing Viva Out

Lloyd Owen by Robert Voets/CBS

As reported earlier on the TV Guide News Report, CBS has deemed Viva Laughlin (aka "Craps Rock") a bust and cashed its chips after just two airings. Following one CSI encore (on Oct. 28), the Eye's Sundays-at-8 slot will be filled by a 12th edition of The Amazing Race. In a statement, Race exec producer Bertram van Munster says, "If there ever was a season that I consider one of the best, it's this one. It's insanely funny, fast-paced and dramatic all at once." And there's no dancing on roulette wheels. He meant to add that.

This season, the Race will cover five new countries including Ireland, Lithuania and Croatia.
