I fail to see how this can be called entertaining. A bunch of people traipsing around the world with more money to spend than common sense to do it wisely compete to win even more money. That as I see it is the whole plot. — Then you get into destroying friendships as teammates… read full review »

This is an absolutely amazing show. I love reality TV so I love the competition aspect, but I also love that we get to see all these magnificent cities and countries that I can only dream of visiting. I also like seeing the contestants take part in challenges/competitions that are derived from the locations they are visiting. It's a nice way to peek into the local customs and traditions. I also adore the host, Phil Keoghan. Aside from Anderson Cooper hosting The Mole a few years ago, Phil is my favorite reality TV host. He has a lot of personality and charm, plus you can obviously tell he… read full review »

I loved the show Amazing Race since it came on. I usually don't like many of the reality shows, but this one I did like. I like that they have so many tpyes of people from everywhere to compete. The way some of the teams are nice to the other teams,to the cut thoat teams that don't help anyone. I loved to see the older souples compete to show that you are never to old to do anything. I think it is very entertaining. You get to see alot of the world up close and the way that the other countries provide for their families and how they live. The onl thing I wish they would have a bigger… read full review »

This is truly an amazing show. My daughter and her father got to meet the host of the Amazing Race at a book signing in the Chicago Area. There is always plenty excitement and a host of great places. For the kids that love adventure and going on the hunt, this is the show for them. My 13 year old daughter has been watching this show ever since it started its first season. This is a great way for the person that doesn't have the money to actually visit exotic places to see the… read full review »

I LOVE this show! Not only the competion but the scenery. I have seen places I would never have gotten to see because of this show. I do not like all the fighting and how some of the men talk to the women and I do not like the girls using thier looks or disabilities to get what they want. I always root for the fastest and smartest players. The ones that work as a team. Those are the ones that deserve the money. Not the ones that use the show to get known. Overall I think it is a wonderful… read full review »

The Amazing Race is what reality TV should be about. Yea theres the annoying characters who cry at the drop of a hat..but overall the show is thrilling and very evenly matached. Brains and brawn are not always what is needed so it evens the playing field for everyone involved. Just having the format change every week with a new culture and country keeps the show fresh, exciting and new every… read full review »

One of the few reality shows I'd consider trying out for

NOV

Every season never disappoints and is 'at least' as good as the season before it. I await each week to see what new city will be traveled to and explored and live some of my travel dreams vicariously through the show (although I travel, realistically I'll never make it to some of the places TAR allows for). There's damn good reasons why this show has won Emmy… read full review »

I have watched this show from the beginning, and I enjoy watching the different places they travel to. Oftentimes, the locations are remote, and for people who like to travel, you can get inspiration of places to put on your "to go to" list. The locations are generally always interesting and beautiful, and the contestants are usually… read full review »

Amazing Race is entertaining, exciting, educational and all around a great show — Throughout the years it has maintained the high standards...So far my favorite season was the family groupings that included children and most of it was done in the US at historic sites....I think that they could definately do a whole season with the premise. —… read full review »
