The race continues and The Amazing Race isn’t ending anytime soon. Today, it was revealed that CBS has renewed the venerable TV series for season 30.
Hosted by Phil Keoghan, the long-running reality competition series follows teams of two as they travel around the world solving clues for a prize of $1,000,000.
The Amazing Race has been a staple of CBS’ programming lineup since it debuted in 2001. However, ratings have dropped significantly since then. Season 29 is currently averaging a 0.86 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.006 million viewers, putting it far behind the network’s highest-rated reality competition series, Survivor.
Despite lower ratings, it seems CBS isn’t ready to part with The Amazing Race just yet.
It’s worth noting that the 2016-17 season is the first time that CBS has aired just one cycle since 2008. At this point, we only know that CBS has committed to airing one cycle for 2017-18.
What do you think? Do you watch The Amazing Race? Are you glad it’s been renewed?
Some of the contestants cheat and then win…..I am bored with it
My husband and I love this show!! We would be very unhappy if it does not continue.
when will it state? my family watches it together and we miss it.
love this show. I see things I will never travel to see.
another thought – Friday night was a Horrible time slot, that’s H.S. sports night. Put it on during another week night = maybe right after survivor. I love David Boreanaz but his new show stinks!!!!!!!!!!!
love it!!!!!!!! better than survivor by far

I LOVE Amazing Race. It is one of the only shows that a family can sit down and watch together. No guns, no sex and no violence. I also enjoy seeing all the countries they travel to as I will never be able to go myself. Please keep it on the air!!
I hope they never cancel the Amazing Race. It is so much fun to watch and cheer on your favorite team…almost like watching a sports match. I can’t wait for the new season to start.
I absolutely love the Amazing Race and look forward to the next airing.

Would like to know what the schedule is for 2017-2018
Our whole family loves Amazing Race! We could not believe they were thinking of cancelling the program. It was on twice a year and we always looked forward to watching it.
Amazing Race is a wonderful show, I cant believe they are possibly not airing it. One of our family favorites.
