“The Amazing Race” constantly alternates around in placement in our personal list of favorite shows of all time. While it may be flawed at times (cab drivers ruining racers’ chances, legs that are too easy or too short), it combines our love of seeing the world with reality TV competition and strategy. It’s been a […]

We’re at this point 27 seasons into “The Amazing Race,” and overall we would say that this is a show that has figured itself out rather well. It knows some of what it does best, what it struggles with, and also its place within the reality TV pantheon. Yet, there are at times ideas that […]

The very beginning of Friday night’s season 27 finale contained one of these moments, and it changed the entire course of the episode. Justin & Diana made […]
Tonight marks the end of “The Amazing Race” season 27, but as many diehard fans of this show know, there is another batch of episodes coming in the near year!

The last leg of “The Amazing Race” is coming on CBS Friday, and there is probably more drama here than we’ve seen on any one to date. You’ve got in many ways a true David vs. Goliath sort of story. On one corner, you have two people in Justin & Diana who has pretty much […]
