I love this show and can't get enough of it. It has never gotten old.

Original Title: Does anybody still watch The Amazing Race?

Figured this could just turn into the season thread.

Yup, haven't watched every season, but I got back into it right around the time that girl took a watermelon to the face and have watched ever since.

Yep, the only "reality" show I've watched more than one season of.

Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I've seen most seasons I think. I don't really watch reality game shows or anything that often (survivor, big brother etc) but I'll binge the hell out of some Amazing Race.

I've been a fan of it since the beginning. It also a show that my mother and my brother also enjoyed and it gave us something in common to talk about.

I lost my brother a couple of years ago and my mother this year so I just don't know if I can watch it any more without it making me sad.

Sorry for the downer, y'all.

I haven't watched an episode since the midget and her cousin was on the show. I believe Rob and Amber from Survivor was on that same season as well.

This is the only reality show that I’m actually a fan of. It teaches people about other cultures in the world and is exciting. I haven’t watched it in years, but my parents and I watched it pretty religiously when I was in high school.

I was thinking about making a thread about this the other day, but Boston Rob is the greatest and smartest reality tv contestant ever. He played dumb, but the guy is smart as frick and knew how to play everyone. He’s the ultimate reality winner ever (save for Trump) getting a wife, millions of dollars, and the satisfaction of knowing he’s smarter than everyone.

The Bachelor is a guilty pleasure that is just garbage and means nothing. The Amazing Race though is educational and perhaps the most stressful situation you can put two people with a preestablished relationship without tearing them apart emotionally before a national audience. I don’t think it’s a guilty pleasure.

To be honest it would be the only reality show I’d have any interest in partaking in. Like even without the money and not being nationally televised, that would be the experience of a lifetime if you can make it through a significant portion of it. I’d love to go on that show with my Dad in tow since I think we would be pretty great at it (save for anything involving physical strength and coordination).
