  1. I don’t like these celebrity versions of Amazing Race. There’s no real incentive for the players to win, because they get an appearance fee anyway, and the winnings go to charity. Therefore they don’t engage competitively, and only use the opportunity for goofy self-promotion, and to build their press profile. In the previous season, I tuned out from boredom after 20 minutes.

    1. I soft agree with you, but I think it’s less of an issue on TAR compared to other, more seriously competitive formats (Survivor). TAR at its best is competitive but also fun.

      I also do think the big weak point with the last season was the lack of variety of locations (Malaysia, Cambodia and India).

      And I do think that this cast does look like a better cast and I hope they deliver.

      But I hope they do a normie edition next year.
