In an interview with the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Phil Keoghan, host of THE AMAZING RACE, was asked what have been the most memorable moments for him from the past seven seasons.
* Charla and Mirna carrying meat in Season 5: "I´m sorry, it just doesn´t get much better than that."
* Emily and Nancy trying to find a clue in an Indian marketplace in Season 1: "It was just such an amazing example of culture shock, which to me, the audience connects with, because they understand, - If I were there, I would be so out of my element."
* The head shaving with Uchenna and Joyce in Season 7: "It´s extremely touching. Part of what makes that so powerful is that when Brandon and Nicole were faced with the same fast-forward, they decided not to do it, and they didn´t win THE AMAZING RACE. I asked Brandon and Nicole, "What would you do for a million dollars?" They looked at me, and I said, "Would you shave off your hair for a million dollars?" They realized what I was asking them, and I said, "Well, clearly you wouldn´t, because you don´t know if you just gave up a million dollars." Speaking Uchenna and Joyce, Phil said, "I don´t think we´ve ever had more popular winners. Same with Chip and Kim."
* The challenge in New Zealand, when racers rolled down a hill in a giant ball called a Zorb:"That´s a friend of mine, that´s my friend¹s farm. I drove about 500 miles to find that location; they´d never taken the Zorb off-site before, so I tested it with my friend, down this hill. I just remember screaming, "We´ve got to get that in the show!"
* In Season 5, when the Bowling Moms were doing the rock-climbing challenge, Phil wished that Christie had done that challenge instead of Colin: "That´s when I wished there had been the rule about (teammates having to do an even number of) roadblocks. Colin was doing most of the roadblocks, and I would have loved to have seen Christie go head to head with Karen (of the Bowling Moms)."
* John of the team John Vito and Jill eating the cheese in Season 3: "It was just funny."
* Uchenna and Joyce at the orphanage in South Africa.
* In Season 6, Gus and Hera at the Goure Island in Africa, where slaves were shipped to the New World: "To me it¹s one of the greatest moments, where the show really slowed down and was breathing. The whole show slowed down. It was extraordinary."

THE SURREAL LIFE Finale This Sunday
THE SURREAL LIFE - the worlds of seven pop culture originals collide as they learn to live too close for comfort in a plush Hollywood mansion will have it´s Season Finale this Sunday.
The final morning begins with an unexpected apology in the bathroom from Omarosa to Janice and the two women hug. Unaware, the rest of the gang still worry about the Omarosa/Janice rivalry; Caprice thinks Janice is spreading too much "negativity" around the house, while Pepa feels Omarosa should not have accused Janice of being a poor mother.
And when Janice asks for an apology at the last cast dinner, Omarosa flat out refuses. Saying she stands behind what she said about Janice´s wild antics and her questionable skills as a mother, stating, "You need help, Janice...I can´t lie." And the battle of the century begins its crescendo.

THE SURREAL LIFE finale is on VH1 this Sunday (October 9th) at 10:00 pm EST / 9:00 pm CST

PROJECT RUNWAY To Premiere December 7 - Announces Partnerships
Bravo, Miramax Television, The Weinstein Company and ELLE are pleased to announce that L´Oreal Paris, Saturn, TRESemme, Banana Republic and Orbitz have signed on as the official sponsors of the second season of Bravo´s Emmy-nominated runaway hit series PROJECT RUNWAY, which premieres Wednesday, December 7 at 10 p.m., ET/PT.
The partnerships with Saturn, L´Oreal Paris and TRESemme are integrated deals that will provide significant exposure in all mediums including in-show, on-air and print. Orbitz is an official on-air sponsor for Bravo and Banana Republic has formed a deal with Miramax and The Weinstein Company to provide in-show integration.
"The creative world of fashion design truly struck a cord with our advertiser base as so many brands came forward to be part of the second season of PROJECT RUNWAY," said Lauren Zalaznick, President of Bravo. "The organic integration in, and on-air association with, this series is a great way for these sponsors to create a strong buzz among key consumers."
"We are looking forward to another successful season of PROJECT RUNWAY and are excited about being in business with Bravo and all of our partners," said Harvey Weinstein.
"PROJECT RUNWAY is a brand´s dream," said Lori Sale, Executive Vice President Worldwide Promotions for Miramax Films. "There are so many organic integration opportunities within the show and outside the show through our partnership with Bravo and ELLE Magazine. We have been literally able to create one-stop shopping for brands who seek a relationship with fashion and style."
Supermodel Heidi Klum will return as host of the Emmy-nominated series, which gives aspiring designers a chance to break into the notoriously difficult-to-crack fashion world. Along with the critical praise the series received, the first season garnered record ratings for Bravo. With 500% growth over its total-viewer and key demographic premiere numbers in December, the series finale on February 23 of cable´s hottest show, and the only cable show nominated for an Emmy in the Competitive Reality category, delivered the highest numbers for any Bravo telecast for the 2004-05 season to date.
The second season of the premier reality series set in the glamorous and rigorous world of the fashion industry will pit sixteen aspiring designers against each other facing off on design challenges. Saturn will provide the winner with $100,000 in seed money to help them launch their own line and a 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster. The winner´s designs will be photographed for ELLE by the magazine´s world-renowned Publication Director, Gilles Bensimon, and they will also receive a mentorship from the Banana Republic Design Team.
