We start off this latest review of “The Amazing Race” with a question: Was the first part of this leg revolving the bungee jump really that important? Our biggest pet peeve for this show is when they choose to give us stuff in the legs that is negated entirely by an equalizer, or something that […]
Over the course of its run on CBS, “The Amazing Race” has taken on a variety of different goals. They’ve shown you the world, educated you about it, and also featured a ton of drama and high-octane action. At this point, the series feels just as much concerned in making team members embarrassed as anything […]
Tonight’s “Amazing Race” episode kept the remaining teams in Africa, and had them taking on a new array of tasks. Some were nostalgic and made us think of the early days of the show, while others were more on the wild side. Who doesn’t want to walk around with lions? (Okay, probably a lot of […]
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 […]
