Lawbolisted Powerful
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Faith Webb Whoo-hoo! The Amazing Race is a fast paced, challenge driven, trek that spans the globe! It starts out with thirteen teams of two, and whatever team arrives last at the check point at the end of the episode is eliminated. There have been over 20 seasons of the show so far, so I would venture to guess it's been pretty successful :) I usually find myself picking a couple of favorite teams and on occasion will be sitting there yelling at the screen, "Go! Oh god, don't let them beat you!" There may be an expletive thrown in there if some team I've deemed to be jerks suddenly pulls ahead. Buuuuut, that's the best part; you get to see these teams go through ups and downs and you imagine how tired and insane you would feel flying from continent to continent, being put into physical challenges like bungee jumping, rappelling, hang gliding, miles and miles of hiking, and that's just the tip of the ice-burg. It seems like the true character of these individuals comes out, some impress you, some disgust you. It's all just part of The Race.
Perry Mercer (Blackace) There are hundreds of reality shows on television now, all over the world, but only one captures the excitement. fun, drama, exhilaration, competition and intelligence of a great show. That show is The Amazing Race. Eleven paired contestants travel all over the world completing objectives and challenges on their way to the final "Pit Stop" of the day. Not only are these challenges physical, but all mental and frustrating. Players have to keep it together with themselves and their partner if they are to make it to the end ahead of everyone else. The last couple who makes it to the "Pit-Stop" is usually eliminated. The show is so fun to watch not only for the incredible locations and exciting race on foot, in car, by plane and train through each city, but also because of all the drama between contestants and their partners. Many partners are so competitive, that they get frustrated with their partner or themselves and it shows on camera in many different ways. Every episode is a blast to watch. you never know what's going to happen next or what location they will travel to. It's fun seeing the world and culture of other people. It's even more fun watching the couples navigate though an unfamiliar environment. One wrong turn or flat tire could push them into last place. There are other great reality shows like American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance. Top Chef, Chopped, America's Got Talent, but none of them are as creative or interesting as The Amazing Race. No wonder it's already on it's 18th season, as they've decided to do 2 seasons a year now. The show is so popular. Definitely check this show out.
pilotgirl21 I believe that The Amazing Race is the greatest "reality" show. People get to race around the world and do things that they never thought they would do. Not only do the viewers get to see the beautiful and wonderful places that are visited, but we also get to learn about the cultures and customs of different countries. I feel as though I am actually visiting these places that I will probably never get to see in my life. Racers need to be both physically and mentally strong in order to complete the detours, road blocks, and other puzzles that need to be solved. Map skills are also an excellent thing to have on this show, as many of the teams get lost and need to stop and ask for directions. The racers never know where they are going to be next...there is no planning ahead of time and that's one of the things that makes this show absolutely exciting.
dy158 This show's format is the reason why I keep watching each season. Imagine travelling around the world and your final target is US$1 million, it's for those who dare to do it.The recently concluded season is one great show. The ultimate winners were whom I wanted to win and it's a great ending to a show that has won the Emmys before.Overall, if you are the one who has always wanted to see how the world really is and interested to see how the various teams outdo each other to the finish line, this show is for you. Also, prepare for culture-shock abound because as they say - 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.Phil really does a good job of being the host and it's almost impossible to not linking the guy who hosts The Amazing Race.The show is just...amazing!
