The Amazing Race…

September 17, 2006 on 2:45 pm | In Travel news, TV |

The best reality show on the planet starts off again tonight with 12 2 person teams racing each other around… well.. the planet.

This is always fun to watch as people get thrown into situations that they have never thought possible. So far I have seen people haggling in markets in Morocco, peddling there wares in India, sombre moments in Soweto, sky diving in the carribean, putting furniture together in Ikea in Stockholm and racing buggies in the mud in Queensland.

There is also the human element as well. Last season we saw Tyler and BJ (the winners) picking up a hitch hiking Bedouin and becoming friends with him. But the best experience is watching people struggle and ultimately overcome their fears. Like the hispanic lady that was scared of deep water being cheered on by Russian swimmers and her daughter as she dove into a pool. Or that great experience of watching 61 year old bungee jump and being rewarded with a kiss and hug from her husband of 45 years… moving stuff.

The 10th season website is at: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race10/ BUT BEFORE YOU CLICK REMEMBER THIS… It will be updated after the show so if you are a couple weeks behind (like Oz is) DONT GO THERE!!!!

Enjoy the season… I always do!
