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?
I enjoy the amazing race far more than survivor.
Looking forward to watching the new season! It would be great to see Jessica and Cody from BB19 compete in the Amazing Race! I would root for them all the way! — Loyalty!! 🙂
The Amazing Race is MY show! It’s the only show I follow faithfully and look forward to watching…and I have since its beginning. Please don’t cancel!
It will be a very sad day when The Amazing Race ends! I have watched every season since season one and I love watching the teams do the challenges and travel all over the world. I am sort of living out a dream to see the world thru this show and these teams…
I love this show. I watch every episode and can’t wait until season 30. Hope there is 2 seasons per year. Didn’t like the time slot this past year. Earlier is better.
I absolutely love this show and cannot wait for season 30.
