Are you ready for another episode of “The Amazing Race 27”? We sure are, especially after the cliffhanger we saw this past week. Let’s start by taking a quick look at what happened in the aftermath of this past episode … which was almost nothing. Tanner & Josh gave the Express Pass to Denise & James […]
Animal-related tasks on “The Amazing Race” are hardly anything new. They’ve been around on the majority of the seasons, thought typically they involve animals that are either cute or comical (or, in one particular season, a “feisty zebra”). So for the animals to be particularly dangerous on Friday night’s episode is exciting, and another example […]
“The Amazing Race” had itself a fairly epic episode on Friday night, at least when it comes to raising the stakes and bringing quite a bit of drama to the table. Even though this was a non-elimination leg, we still had all of the insanity of the Double U-Turn. What’s also great about this, at […]
Friday night’s episode of “The Amazing Race” was brought to you by three simple letters: LOL. There were so many ridiculous moments in this hour of TV, and most of them are an exercise in really bad planning on the part of Team Texas Tanner & Josh. We actually think their plan was solid: Get […]
Where are we seeing “The Amazing Race” going heading into Friday night’s new episode? The simple answer is “Africa,” but if you’re looking for more specifics, our guess is that we are getting set to see the teams in either Zambia or Zimbabwe. We’ve seen promos for this episode hyping up a visit to a […]
As a whole, we’d consider Friday’s “Amazing Race” episode our least-favorite of the season, even though we are only three episodes in. We don’t mind legs that stay in the same country, but what’s the point of doing it if you don’t ever give someone a chance to catch up? We’re going to be bummed […]
For the second straight episode of “The Amazing Race,” Argentina was the setting! Luckily, we did not mind too much thanks to the various ways that this leg was different than the last. We like the exploration into Gaucho culture, and while this is not entirely new ground, there was an element of fun to […]
It is pretty rare that you see a team as openly targeted in the early going as we’re seeing for Justin & Diana on “The Amazing Race” Friday night, but it goes to show two separate things: Their strength in many of the tasks, and also their lack of a great social game. There’s a reason […]
The first season of “The Amazing Race” was a revelation in reality television. It is hard to think of any other tangible way to describe it. Sure, there were other travel shows, but few found a way to combine what is great about the world with what is great about this particular genre. We admit […]
Was the diagnosis for “Dr. Ken” in the early going a good one? While we think it behooves you to remember that this is just a premiere, it looks at least a little more promising than most other comedy series that we’ve seen on Friday night in a while. Overall, the premiere at 8:30 p.m. Eastern […]
