Friday night’s episode of “The Amazing Race” contained a couple of interesting challenges in Argentina, but we feel like it really shined once you got to the Pit Stop. There was a serious race to the finish, and Jazmine & Danielle did enough making up for lost time to finish in 8th place. Given their […]
Tonight on “The Amazing Race 27,” did you realize that Jazmine & Danielle were athletes? We feel like you did, since the show chose to reference this about five hundred times! It was included about as much as bad football puns anytime you have an NFL player on this show. We do understand that logic, […]
When “The Amazing Race” first planned out the leg for Friday night’s new episode, they clearly were thinking with the knowledge the Pope Francis would be coming to America. (Granted, they couldn’t anticipate any controversy.) The remaining teams are heading to Argentina, where we are going to have a chance to see whether or not […]
The official ratings are in now for Friday night’s season premieres, and we cannot say that we are too surprised by any of them. The good news for “The Amazing Race” is that if nothing else, it is at least solid. The start of season 27 drew in total a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 […]
We will be the first to admit that we don’t love it when shows do the whole “this season on” promo at the end of the premiere, mostly because those of you with a keen eye can probably figure out for the most part some of what is being hinted at. We know, for example, […]
There were certainly some weird elements that showed themselves in the season 27 premiere of “The Amazing Race,” especially after seeing such a well-oiled machine of a production in Canada over the summer. For one, what was with the lack of tasks in this episode? We suppose that it wasn’t that different than the Canadian […]
There are only two seasons of “The Amazing Race” where we have at least visited the starting line at some point in our lives: Season 25 when the show started in Times Square, and then season 27, when the show officially got things going in Venice Beach. The sneak peek below features Phil Keoghan and some […]
We have a tradition here at CarterMatt of consistently railing on the Emmys for their terrible selections in the Outstanding Reality Competition Series category, but we will provide one little thing in defense of them this year: Where are the other nominees? Other than “The Quest” or “King of the Nerds” (which we loved by very few […]
The latest cast has arrived for “The Amazing Race 27,” and after looking at just the descriptions of some of the people taking part, our reaction is mixed. We’re get into some specifics in a moment, but for now let’s just go ahead and identify the eleven teams who are taking part this time in […]
We’ve now moved into a personal favorite category for us when it comes to the Emmys … or at least one that we really get a lot of fun out of skewering the TV Academy for. Was there a time when they legitimately cared about the Reality Competition category? Maybe, but they haven’t shown it in years. […]
