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 […]
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 […]
