CBS hurt the show by not putting in on earlier in the year. I hope it comes back. They should stop essential with its day and time. We all looked for it on Sunday evening for years.
Would love another season!!
Please renew the amazing race. This is the only reality show I have been watching.
The Amazing race is a clean reality show for all the family. It takes us to places we never will see and it is fun to pick a favorite team and to follow their adventures and see how they figure out the challenges. I’ve watched this show from the very first episode years ago and I don’t want it to end. Please keep it–and put it on a good night–not when sports interrupt it.
I have watched all of CBS reality shows from the beginnings. I love Amazing Race because of the scenery of all the countries that they visit I enjoy the gameplay that goes into this game, it also depends on how the pairings of the racers go. Please do not cancel this show as it will be greatly missed
I have been watching since the beginning. I love being able to see places I will never be able to get to. And watching the people compete.
I have watched Survivor – The Amazing Race and Big Brother since their 1st shows. I have been a subscriber for those 3 shows. Keep Amazing Race. We are still watching. Liked it better on Sunday nights but have adjusted my viewing so that I won’t miss it.
Keep up the Amazing Race on the air! This race is nowhere done. ♀️
I’ve watched “The Amazing Race” since its first season in 2001, and I look forward to each new season. It’s family-friendly and allows viewers to see a variety of countries and cultures. It’s one of the best shows on television and deserves MANY more seasons!
Our family has been watching this show since it first began. PLEASE, PLEASE do not cancel this show, because it really has good content and can be watched by all ages. I look forward to it each season.
The best reality show out there, keep in mind all their Emmy wins. Keep this show on the air.
Nooooooo, this is the greatest show (although I’m not a fan of the strangers pairing up).! Please don’t cancel it.
Please do not cancel this show. It is the best show on television. I wish it was still on Sunday nights. Then the ratings wouldn’t slide.
This is absolutely the best show on TV. I watch it every week and I cannot bear the idea it will be cancelled.
I’ve been a fan since season one and watched every episode. I think it is still one of the best shows on TV. Please renew The Amazing Race.
One of the very best reality shows out there. Please keep!
