Phil Keoghan is going to need to keep his passport up to date. He’ll need it for the next season of The Amazing Race. CBS has renewed the competition series for a 27th season which will air next fall.
On the (current) 26th cycle of The Amazing Race, a group of 11 dating couples — six in longstanding relationships while five have just met — race across the world, all in pursuit of a million dollar prize.
As one might expect, the ratings have come way down since The Amazing Race moved to Friday nights. The current cycle is averaging a 1.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.83 million viewers. That’s down by 33% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership.
Still, those numbers aren’t bad for a Friday night series and Amazing Race provides a solid lead-in for Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods (both of which have also been renewed).
What do you think? Are you still watching The Amazing Race on CBS? Do you watch on Friday nights?
I LOVE THE AMAZING RACE AND DON’T WANT IT TO EVER STO
I love the Amazing Race and I currently have 17 videos and have season 18 and 19 on order. I hope the show never goes off the air. It is one of the best of the reality shows going. I love the new twists that have been introduced over the seasons to keep it interesting and challenging. Don’t stop now.
The Amazing Race is my favorite show on network TV, no matter if on Friday or any other night. I would hate to see it cancelled, if CBS were smart they would keep it and if necessary move it back to Sunday night where it thrived for years.
Yep, still watching. Doesn’t matter when the show airs, just set it up to record whenever it’s on. I hated it on Sunday, because football always interfered with the air time, and I missed alot of the show because of Sunday sports.
I agree Donna. I love Amazing Race. It’s the only reality show I watch. And, even though I’m a football fan, I did hate that it ran into my Sunday shows. I think DVR’s need to be equipped with the know how to start and end a program by the actual start time, not the program time stated on the guide.
I’ve watched The Amazing Race since the beginning, it’s a great show. I’ll continue to watch whatever night they put it on!
Love amazing race. I never want it to end.
I love Amazing Race! I don’t care what night it’s on I record it or watch it online!
Don’t keep bouncing it around the week though.
Love this show, glad they brought it back for another year. Wish they would change nights though, ratings took a big hit moving to Fridays…..
If you haven’t noticed, all three shows in the CBS reality TV troika have yet to have a different host. As long as Les Moonves sees dollar signs, he’s not getting rid of any of them.
Why do they need new hosts?
This is my very favorite show! And I’m glad they changed the day… I was sick of having to either record or sit through almost 2 hours of boring sports just to catch the beginning!
I so glad it’s being renewed since 5 of my favorite shows have been dumped or ended this season. BRING BACK FOREVER, ABC!
just love this show. My wife and I watch it always. It’s fun,educational and competitive!!! Great job on this decision.
Get rid of all this reality crapola and bring back STALKER!!! CBS GET A BRAIN!
I stopped watching several seasons ago. Not very interesting. They need to change some rules up or something.
This is the only reality TV show I like. Thank you for keeping it!!!
I watch amazing race so enjoy it. We will watch whatever night they show it.
