jjakq27 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 The latest version of the Amazing Race TV show, features the Linz family from Cincinnati. On this weeks episode one of them wore a Who-Dey shirt and the highlights for next week shows a family member in a Carson Palmer jersey. For their group shot they wore orange and black shirts.http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...10356/1025/LIFESunday, August 21, 2005 3 more Linzes wanted to be in 'Amazing Race' By John KiesewetterEnquirer staff writerWhen CBS announced "The Amazing Race" cast for fall, the phone began ringing at the home of Tom and Terri Linz in Anderson Township. Four of the seven Linz kids had just finished taping the $1 million, around-the-world TV competition (premiering 9 p.m. Sept. 27, Channels 12, 7).Terri Linz, 52, a part-time nurse at Clermont Mercy Hospital, is the official spokeswoman for her children.Nick, 24, Alex, 23, Megan, 21, and Tommy (aka "Bone"), 19, are prohibited by CBS from talking to the media. Terri says Matt, 27, Travis ("TJ"), 25, and Tim, 16, wanted to go, but CBS would take only four-person teams for the first "Amazing Race" family version.How they got involved: A casting director saw the whole family in a Cancun airport, while we were on a Christmas vacation, and asked if we ever thought of being on a reality show.Four from seven: Matt and his wife, Liz, couldn't go because she was expecting a baby, our first grandchild (born Aug. 11). TJ is working in Chicago, and Nick's schedule was more flexible working for his father's company (Packstar) in Buffalo. Tim, a junior at St. Xavier, showed an interest, but he had to attend to some academics. He was dismayed.Love those Bengals: They wore orange shirts with "Who Dey" on them (on the show). They are intense Bengals fans. They're the "Who Dey" team all the way. They're bringing "Who Dey" to the nation.How "Bone" got his name: Everyone at CBS asked that. When he was little, he was a bald kid. Everyone always knew him as "Bone." It was on the back of his soccer and football jerseys.Her lips were sealed: Oh my gosh, it was hard keeping this secret. But we did a good job covering it up. We made a list of all the people we told fibs to and had to tell them the truth.Favorite reality show: I'm not an avid TV watcher. I don't have enough time, raising seven children. Of what I've heard and seen, this one sounds like a good wholesome show.In the dark: I don't know where they went, or what they've done, since the beginning of July (when filming began). My kids aren't sharing any secrets with mom and dad, and I don't want to know. They've made statements that they think put Cincinnati on the map."Proud mom: God has blessed me with really good kids. They're good, healthy, happy and not in trouble, as much as I know.Big family: My husband is one of 11 children. His father has 47 grandchildren. My mother has 16 grandchildren. So my kids have over 50 first cousins. It's pretty crazy.Being national TV stars: My boys want it made clear they don't have any significant others in their lives. They are single gentlemen.http://et.tv.yahoo.com/micro/falltv/etsid189190012308/ Quote

jjakq27 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 TP....I merged these topics. We had something on this late last week. Quote
Humanzee 5000 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 WOW!!! I saw that but I didn't know the family. I played soccer with TJ Linz. I know that's gotta be him, I remember when we were buddies playing soccer, he always talked about bengals games. Man, I hope they win. That RockS!!!!! Quote
turningpoint Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 TP....I merged these topics. We had something on this late last week.cool I didn't bother doing a search since i didn't see it on the 1st page. thx Quote
The Big Orange Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 I love the Amazing Race. This one with families is kinda cool, but they don't appear to be leaving the US unfortunately. The Linz family almost lost last week...they went from second to last to second from first...pretty good.The one guy was wearing last years Chris Perry Jersey this week (#26) and another guy had a Who Dey shirt on...last week the girl had a Who Dey shirt on. This show is addictive...but it's way better when it's 2 man teams racing around the world. Quote
rob_justdmb Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 yeah you guys watching the Race for the first time this season need to check out older episodes on the Game Show Network. They are on every night. While this is an interesting premise, there is a huge difference when it is only 2 people and everyone is cutthroat and fighting with each other and they flying around the world. Quote
bengalindian Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 A couple of my friends went to St. X and Ursula and know the family. The girl, Megan, apparently over the summer told her friends she was "interning in Chicago" and that when she got back, she wouldn't tell them anything because they'll get sued by CBS or something. But they said she would let stuff slip (not big stuff) when she would get drunk over the summer, so I thought it was pretty funny. Personally, I always liked this show because I love geography, but don't have time with all my schoolwork. Is it only on Tuesday nights? Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Losers from X. I don't respect them one bit, even if they wear bengal's clothes. Quote
jjakq27 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Posted October 6, 2005 Losers from X. I don't respect them one bit, even if they wear bengal's clothes. Must be either a Moeller, Elder or Colerain fan! Quote
Humanzee 5000 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Oh the Cincinnati Higschool fiasco! Quote
jjakq27 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Posted December 13, 2005 Tonight is the finale. BTW, their team nickname is Team WhoDey.http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...20310/-1/back01 Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Rumor has it that 3 of the 4 bought new cars recently, so it could indeed be that they win it.They have done a great job of being Bengals fans on the show, constantly wearing the colors and often saying "WHO DEY" when they are doing well. It's refreshing. Quote
rizzy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Rumor has it that 3 of the 4 bought new cars recently, so it could indeed be that they win it.They have done a great job of being Bengals fans on the show, constantly wearing the colors and often saying "WHO DEY" when they are doing well. It's refreshing. A couple episodes into the show vegas started getting a ton of one sided bets that the team from Cincy will win, so I would say with almost 100% confidence that they win this thing.

bengalindian Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Hopefully it's a sign of things to come for the Bengals. Also, one of my friends said that one of the guys just bought a Mercedes convertible, basically confirming that they won. Quote

The Linz family was a great testiment to the city, and a good set of fans. Quote
jjakq27 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 Way to go, Team Who Dey!http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...4/ENT/312140007 Quote
bigdog101 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Way to go, Team Who Dey!http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...4/ENT/312140007that was sweet Quote
Dan2330 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Who Dey! Just saw it on TIVO, nice job...............Almost as happy to see the Florida Weaver family go down! Quote
duus Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Not a fan of the show, but simply had to watch last night knowing that 'Team Who-Dey?' might win. Loved her shirt. Bold letters ... simple ... WHO DEY?I would love to have that shirt, but cannot find that one anywhere. I'm betting she simply had it made ... just a few big ol' letters on a bright orange shirt. Still would love to buy it somewhere (would make the statement I want here in the Burgh). Quote

jjakq27 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Posted December 15, 2005 "Question: It’s been a great six months, hasn’t it?Alex: It’s been a great year, especially for Cincinnati, with the (St. X) Bombers, Bengals and Linzes! The Bombers won the state football title, the Bengals are having a winning season and headed to the playoffs, and we just won ‘The Amazing Race.” Put all three together, and it’s been pretty awesome for Cincinnati. We love the Bombers. We love the Bengals. We love “The Amazing Race.” "http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...5/ENT/512150383http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gal...12150802&Ref=PHhttp://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...5/ENT/312150012 Quote
