I haven't blogged yet about The Amazing Race, which I was remiss in doing. It really is the best "reality game" to come along in the last few years, with the exception maybe of our dearly departed friend The Mole. It gives a glimpse of the world that sadly too many Americans just don't get out to see, especially in this day and age.

That being said, this season's results have seemed a little...fishy to me. I am rooting for team Coal Miner as much as anyone else is, but it seems just way too coincidental that each time they've come in last, it's been a non-elimination leg. Of course the producers have always said that these legs are pre-determined, and I definitely hope that's the case. But combined with the fact that the first fast forward showed up after Coal Miner's first near-elimination, it seems to be pretty fortunate for them, to say the least.

My only gripe of the show is that they spend a lot of time showing teams doing the same thing. 6 different shots of teams ordering the same plane tickets doesn't do all that much for me. But I'll definitely keep watching.
