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 love Amazing Race, many loyal viewers were complaining they couldn’t find it. CBS keeps changing the time slot. I DVR so I always can watch but I couldn’t tell you what day/time it appears. CBS is reviving old tired shows, that have been cancelled years ago. Leave Amazing Race alone!!
Amazing Race is the BEST reality show on TV, by far. Much better than Survivor!
I love amazing race! One of my favorites! It will be great with Cody&Jessica. Can’t wait.
I love the beautiful and unique places they go and it’s interesting to learn so much about the different cultures. I really like when the team members work well together. Its a great show and Phil does a great job hosting it.
We’ll never be able to travel to other countries so we really enjoy all the places the Amazing Race sends the contestants. We learn so much about each country’s cultures so the show is very educational. Please keep the show going. It helps us through the winter.
Love the show it’s entertaining get interested in the players love the competition love the way they go about working together as teams and as individuals
I love the Amazing Race and hopes it will continue. Watch from the beginning. Love the scenery and the travels it involves.
Maybe if you bring it back to its original night it willbdo better in ratings. It gets forgotten about on weeknights as people are too busy to keepbtrack of it!!!
Love the Amazing Race. I hope CBS continues to renew it!
So glad it will be back. please keep the Amazing Race on the air.
