Fantastic Entertainment On So Many Levels

Intro
The Amazing Race, currently in its twelfth season on CBS, has a little something for everyone with interesting contestants, thrilling challenges, and a chance to examine different cultures close up. Easy seasons brings different locations and people, along with all new challenges, and it's sometimes amazing in itself that it can keep on going the way it has, always bringing something new to the table. It's a show that puts you in the midst of the action and has you craving to give it a try.

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 has... review »

I just could not get enough of Amazing Race. I mean, by the title itself, it will surely make you watch it and will make you addicted to it. Amazing Race has been going on strong for 13 seasons now and it has garnered an Emmy Award! Yes that's how great this show is. Amazing Race features several teams of 2 or sometimes 5 (family edition) racing all over the world to complete several tasks ranging from milking camels to gliding over high buildings and solving different mind games. The prize that you get will just blow you away. $1 Million? You could just quit your job and start investing in the... 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 show... review »

Amazing Race is a definite must see!

This is a highly addictive, high energy show. It's heart pumping as so many times you feel you are right there running the race. You can easily feel what the contestants feel - their highs, their lows, their triumphs, their disappointments - because you are there with them. You will laugh and sometimes find yourself yelling at the television because you see something they are missing or disagree with their choice -all because you become so wrapped up in it. Your host, Phil, will quickly become one of your favorite tv personalities. I highly recommend this show. It's "AMAZING"!

Amazing Race is one of those shows that if you like the concept, it's unlikely that you will get bored. With new destinations and local culture challenges, nothing gets repeated. I absolutely recommend this show, particularly to those of us who love to travel, but can't get out as much as one wished. I particularly love the fast pace of the show, along with the cultural aspect. It is fascinating to watch contestants participate in cultures that they are unfamiliar with, not to mention the language barriers. If I could be on any reality show, this is the one I would choose!!!

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 world.

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 show.

the amazing race is one of the best! now in it's 13th season it shows a look at the world in which many would never see.

i hope that it goes on forever. where else can you see people getting along (or not in many cases) while they race around the world. i love when they are force to get along with people that dont speak english. thats when i think their true personally comes out. you can see when people are truly racist in how they react to other peoples countries.

A real competition, brains and braun, not a popularity contest.

I've watched every season of the Amazing Race and I haven't been bored yet. This is a true competition, but you don't just need to be the strongest to win. If you use your head, you can win this without being the strongest or the most popular. And to see all the amazing places that these contestants get to visit. Yes, the fighting and bickering can get annoying, but I guess that is what gets the ratings too.

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 week.

do you wonder if the countries that the amazing race goes to get any money for allowing the teams to turn thier cities and towns upside down, i do. i always wonder if they purposly put people on there that the producers put couples they know will make the other teams upset at them. this season they have the divorced women on there and they are not well like by the other teams.
