The winners this season are so awful. Wish it had been anyone but them. Such a disappointing season.
Absolutely LOVE Amazing Race but some of the contestants’ attitudes are disappointing. My only complain is that the music is so loud you can’t hear what the contestants are saying and it wakes the baby sleeping in the next room. Tone it down but definitely renew.
If your Tv is that loud, then maybe a hearing issue.
I’ve enjoyed this exciting show since the beginning of it’s run. I hope it continues each year, the same as Survivor does.
The contestants are comprised of complainers. There had to be a higher degree of available contestants. I’ll watch again, NEXT year..
with this timeslot and it being a family show the live numbers will be lower and the dvr numbers will be much higher
