In my opinion, one of the top reality programs The locations are breathtaking.The contestants are never boring and the challenges are top notch. You really get to know the participants and their varied personalities. Been watching this program from the beginning and will continue for as long as it's aired.

I love this show. It's the best reality program out there. Amazing race is adventurous, educational, clean, and suspenseful. You get to learn about the varieties of different personalities each competitor has. Also, the commentator does a fantastic job.

Amazing race is my favorite of all cbs's reality shows. I envy the scenerys of the various places these people are fortunate to visit. The endings actually have me at the edge of my seat..more so than any other format. Keep up the great work.

I've seen it before and It's OK. You would have to have a lot of intelligence to complete those challenges. But they always have young, vivacious people on those shows. They should have a more diverse range of people.

I really like it- fast paced fun BUT: I am really sick of all those young, white self-proclaimed model and actor couples. Can we have a little bit of diversity here, please? The occasional grand-parents or a black couple once in a while doesn't really constitute diversity. If they can't find enough interesting applicants maybe lifting the US Citizen requirement for particiapting will help.

I like this show! Its interesting to watch each racers as they go for there goal to win the prize. Right now i am watching the one with Colin/Christie. To let every one know i dont want them to win. I want Brandon/Nicole or Chip/Kim to win! And im gonna be mad if Colin/Christie win! Why? I have no clue. I just dont want them to win. Good luck to the rest!

The Auckland part is SO rigged. What's with the drivers going South from the North Shore (for the Sky Tower shot across the harbour) when they had been heading North from Rotorua? Just proves that they aren't really racing. They must spend half an hour or so just driving in circles for video footage. They must think only idiots watch the show.

Memorable Amazing race moments ... 1.In Africa, Kevin yells "Swing, You, Fat bastard." to his partner 2. The Gudios abandon their alliance with the Vanilla Ice lawyers and Ike & Tina. 3. Kim & Leslie dissed Amiee at the airport. Amiee had a nervous breakdown and cursed at the Texas teachers." 4.Leeeeeny takes Karyn to the wrong destistation in Paris. He tells Karyn "You are always disunpointed." 5. When they rode those tiny cars in Italy 6. Evil Guidos & airport incident. They caused Vanilla Ice lawyers, Bitchy Emily & Nancy, and Kevin & Drew to miss their flight. Later the Guidos lied to Karyn about the incident. At that point, the Guidos are more evil than Richard Hatch. 7. We learn how TAR teams deal with the local culture. Some teams joked about it. Emily called the Indians "stupid." 8. Rat temples 9. The Fast forward in Thailand-Nancy & Emily vs Guidos 10. The Tiger pit in Thailand. I saw a big cat rub himself on Drew's leg. 11. Instead of going to the final stop, Guidos choose to have sex at a hotel. When they got to the temple, Guidos were surprised to see many shoes there. Than we learn that Boobs & Nancy are getting the ax. 12. Kevin & Drew vs Guidos in China. The rickshaw race. 13.Forcing the Teams to buy their own food at a Chinese market. Chicken feet, bugs, and etc. Kevin yelling "Eat, you Fat bastard." to his partner. 14. The little boy beating Brennan at Ping Pong. HAHHHHAHHA. 15. Frank brags that he knows the neighboorhood. Yet, they lost to the Boring Lawyers. Unlike Survivor, I could name a zillion moments. .

I am totally hooked. I liked the Amazing Race 2 the best. I loved to watch Blake and Paige. They are the ideal brother and sister. I wanted them to win so badly. They were kind, honest, attractive and genuinely good people to watch. Finally! Next was the "Cha-Cha-Cha". They were funny to watch because they were enjoying themselves. They weren't jerks to everyone they ran into, including each other which happens to almost everyone in the race. It is a great show and I want my husband to race in Amazing Race 4. He would win. Keep them coming. I love to watch. It is REAL reality tv. There is no "voting off" soap operas. You win because of your efforts. Hopefully your efforts deserve it, unlike Amazing Race 3's Flo. Zach, you deserve it all.

There are many reasons why I love the Amazing race. 1. Interesting teams like Frat Brothers, Evil Guidos, and Karyn & Leeeeeny. 2. Challenges-Temple of rats, tiger pits, and underwater diving. 3. The Greeters 4. The Drama-The Guidos choosing to have sex instead of going to the Thailand pit stop. 5. Seeing how the teams interact with the locals. Bad or good. 6. The Host's voice. What I don't like about the Amazing race-Seeing the Vanilla ice lawyers win. Blah!

no woder that the amazing race 2 is the best among any other reality tv show and for me, it is not just to entertain the viewers but also a little bit educational and humanitarian.through AR, you can learn about the people in the different regions of the world and the enticing and superb places as well.after i have watched AR, i became interested in reading maps and looking for interesting places in the encyclopedia. AR also proved that LANGUAGE BARRIER ISN'T A FACTOR IN HAMPERING COMMUNICATION. it is just depends on how you treat and please people nicely.

We totally loved The Amazing Race, our favorites were Drew and Kevin and Nancy and Emily, we were disgusted by the underhanded antics of the Guido's. Unfortunately due to the late timeslot of the show here in Australia and also due to Bushfires we missed the last 1/2 hour of the final episode,boy, we are devastated! Friends have told us that Rob and Brennan won, good on them. We can't wait for the next seris!

It would be great to see all the same teams reunite to face-off for another season! Guido could prove once and for all that they are the smartest and most capable team.(I think it's funny how those who insist on hurling insults at Team Guido consistently have little (or no) grammar or spelling skills...oops!....besides being nasty themselves! Oh well...guess some people aren't as morally superior as they think...are they?

It kept me on the very edge of my seat. I was walking along the rats with them, trying to help them hail cabs and everything else. It was as if I was along for the race, and I loved it. You could not have picked a better variety of people and places to go. It was wonderful!!!!

I would definitely take Race over Survivor. After the past two, Survivor has become a bit more predictable. Amazing Race however is totally un predictable. Who would have thought that Nancy and Emily would stil be in the race? What about those nut case Fraternity Brothers? I figured they would be out at the beginning. Grandparents, strong team, caught one bad break, and they were out. I think this could be the next Survivor for CBS if they would just advertise it better. The way I see it, CBS has two shows that are overly popular Survivor and NFL football. While watching agame today, I only saw one preview for the next episode of Race, and none at all durring the last episode of Survivor. They need to show previews durring these shows to get the message out to the most possible people that Amazing Race is a quality show. ATTACHMENT: Kevein and Drew, you will be missed!

This is my favorite show, I never miss it and I am not a faithful TV watcher. If I am not home I make sure to tape it. It is fun and you pick your favorites but not as backstabbing as Survivor and you can relate to these people more as we have all had travel nightmares. Kevin and Drew were my favorites, I was so upset that they were eliminated. My 10 year old daughter also loves this show and my mom. We watch it together every week.

This show combines everything I love to see: game-show atmosphere, high-octane thrills and likable (and hateable)characters. It's not just another show where interpersonal relationships are all we're watching, we actually get that game-show feeling on reality TV! The travelogue is fantastic as well, and I just love Kevin and Drew!

This show is my 2nd favorite after The Mole 2 on ABC...it's a fresh concept, it's not politics that get the teams to the next leg of the race, but their smarts and their forward thinking that propel them there. I have enjoyed watching it, especially Drew and Kevin from NYC..they had a rough start in the beginning (they were a bit annoying at first), but they have proven themselves to be quite competitive and I admire their integrity in playing the game(unlike Team Guido, whose antics I have grown to despise over the course of the season). The show was very well cast, I hope that the next installment is as interesting as this, and that the next cast can be as fun as this one was!

I LOVE this show and I hope that even given the tragic recent events that it can still somehow survive to Amazing Race II. I found myself not just involved with these people, but definitely involved in the race itself. This is MUCH better than any other reality tv show out
