What do you think? Were you hoping that The Amazing Race TV show would be renewed for a 30th season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this competitive reality TV series, instead?
10 pm in the USA is a terrible time. It is a family show. Put it back on at 8 am.
I love the amazing race!! Now that it ended I have no life!!! put season 30 asap!!!!
Oh plz renew for season 30 of TAR. I find it to be the greatest family entertainment on TV. Along with Survivor. When my grandchildren and I wAtch it, even though we now have to record it and watch it the next night at and earlier time because it comes on so late, we are able to talk about all the countries and places around the world. Places we may never get to go but get to experience through the racers. We always each take notes. I write down all there is to know about the race, my granddaughter tells… Read more »

And advertise more often; WE had to keep googling to… Read more »
Please don’t cancel the series! We love it!!!
No wonder the ratings are down. It was difficult to find out when they were finally going to run season 29, and then they almost hid it. It got confusing when they ran back to back segments some weeks too, like they were trying to crowd them in. One of only three shows I watch (Jeopardy and the Voice are the others), so very glad it is renewed!
I am from Melbourne, Australia and was just on holidays in Hawaii. I saw teams racing, with camera crew. They had all of their clues in their backpack side pockets. Unless it was another version of the Amazing Race? Maybe Amazing Race Canada? I’m not sure. But it looked like the US version. Not sure if it was the start or the end. I only saw three teams though. Could possibly be the end.
The Amazing Race is a terrific show, and I hope it runs for many more years.
The only reality show I watch. Looking forward to the next season. Love it.
Amazing Race is the ONLY show that I watch. If they cancel it, they may as well come and take my tv away. I’ll keep busy reading, writing, listening to music, etc… No other shows worth watching.
If they’d move it back to a decent time slot instead of 10 pm on Thursday night the numbers would go right back up!
Please renew the race!!! I love this show!
I love the amazing race and please renew it.
Please keep the amazing race and that I love it a lot.
It’s not time for this great show to end, it is only doing bad because it’s on at 10:00 on Thursday night. People say it’s 2017 dvr it. But live ratings still matter to advertisers!
