Amazing Race, one of the best "real" shows......I know, some here don't think so.....

but I know I would NEVER be able to do half of the challenges!!! Love how they all do it, and it hasn’t turned into a survivor look alike show. Amazing race is it’s own show, and I do enjoy it. And I absolutely love ALL the destinations they visit.

I love seeing a lot of the world without having to leave home. Of course, it's just a snapshot of a small portion of the countries they visit. What I like is sometimes I'll see them somewhere I've actually visited.

The only thing I guess I have a problem with about the show is how they try to connect the audience with the contestants by having them talk about why they're in the race and their personal obstacles they've overcome to get on the show. To me, it's a little too "tear jerky." Just let the constants tell us a little about themselves and let them race.
