This is probably the BEST 'Reality' show. Because it's Real. VERY tough, and man... (if you've watched a season, you know what I mean).

It'll be on CBS in June! And then, Big Brother 4 in July (FOUR!!! Never THOUGHT That it would last 2 seasons!) I kinda like that show... just to see them all scheme and plot behind each others backs! lol!

Amazing Race is no joke though.. its real.

I agree that this is the best of the reality shows and really the only one that I have gotten into (although I confess a morbid fascination with some of the stuff on Fear Factor!). My wife and I love Amazing Race- because it is real. It is cool to see them going all over the world too!
I am glad to hear it is coming back.

Yeah I like the Amazing Race. I hope the next series is shown here. The network that shows it don't really have much time for it though, showing it on various nights at various times around the middle of the night. It's hard keeping track of when it's going to be on next.

I personally don't think it's the best reality show though. I like the relationships and interaction that happens in shows like Survivor and the Mole. The Amazing Race is more about the relationship between the two people and there's not that much between all the people, though some. It can be a little samey - it's all just which plane can we catch to get ahead (invariably they all get the same one), how shall we do this roadblock (they all do the quick one except the token old people pair), how can our cab go fast enough. Whereas with Survivor and the Mole, while the activities and so on are similar series to series, the interactions and schemings are all so different that each series is independent of the other. Plus I don't like the way they've neutralised the importance of those fast track things - in the first series you could really get a good lead, now they help for one episode, if that, and then you're back with the pack again.
