Amazing Race The Wait Is Over
That is right the 6 time Emmy winning Amazing Race is finally back tonight. Is it me or does it seem like forever since this show was on. There was no winter season last year so it has been almost a year, which explains my forever feeling. I love the Amazing Race it is one of my all time favorite shows, not just Reality shows, but all shows. Sticking with the winning dynamic of teams of two, remember the debacle that was Amazing Race families, yeah there will be none of that, the show follows teams as they literally race around the world. The race has everything from detours, which give you a choice of two tasks, to roadblocks where only one team member can do the challenge. The last team to check in with host Phil Keoghan at the end of each leg of the race is eliminated. However the first team to check in with Phil on the last leg of the race wins $1,000,000. Side note here but I was really disappointed that Phil was not nominated for an Emmy in the host category. He is awesome and I really think he deserved to be nominated over Howie, nothing personal against Howie. Anyway, the 13th season promises to have some exciting twists and turns, such as one team that makes such a grave mistake they are prohibited from joining the other teams at the end of the race finish line. That certainly has me wondering about the new season. The Amazing Race begins tonight at 8PM EST on CBS. Some advice for those who are planning to DVR the show, record the show after because we all know Sunday afternoon football runs long.
