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. […]
The Reality Host category for the Critics’ Choice TV Awards is to us an interesting one, mostly because we’re not just looking at competition shows here. We have three programs that are of that vein, but then three others that are more traditional unscripted fare: A hidden-camera show, a travel / food adventure show, and also a […]
If we are looking across the board, the Best Reality Competition Series trophy is one that is typically not taken seriously by major awards shows. The Emmys tend to nominate the same exact shows every year, and as much as we love the Critics’ Choice TV Awards, we’re really not sure that they did much better with […]
This season of “The Amazing Race” has been competitive, and to be fair, this has also turned out to be a much better season than we imagined it would be. We just didn’t love the idea of the twist. So did the elimination of the super-likable Mike & Rochelle in fourth place prove that blind […]
Tonight, “The Amazing Race 26” comes to an end with a leg in Dallas that is somewhat up in the air. We do still feel like Hayley & Blair are the favorites to win (we’d never say that a month ago), but everyone at least has a chance. We’re not ruling out underdogs Mike & […]
Friday night will mark the season finale of “The Amazing Race,” and at the moment we are so excited that it is not the series finale that we really do not care one way or another who wins. We’re not ending the show with the Blind Date season! Also, it is a fruitless exercise to buy too […]
CBS waiting a heck of a lot longer than usual when it comes to confirming the majority of their shows on the schedule, but when they did on Monday, they really unrolled the welcome wagon to a variety of different programs! How else do you describe what we ultimately consider to be a surprising mass […]
