In the interest of time, I skipped out on the "Amazing Race" exit interview circuit, a decision I often regretted. I'd have loved to ask Lisa & Michelle about shoving and hypocrisy, or talk to Shelley & Nici about how their existing relationship hurt them out there or to discuss whether Kym & Alli felt annoyed at a surfing task being their demise. I was more than happy, though, to rejoin the circuit to talk to the "Amazing Race" finale, especially when the victors turned out to be Food Scientists Amy & Maya, a pair I grew to really root for during the Race. No, Maya & Amy weren't the strongest team. In fact, they made it to the end without winning any of the first 11 Legs and only a "Keep on Racing..." Leg in Manila kept them around. But even if they seemed physically unlikely -- especially with a prior injury forcing Amy to...

Last time on The Amazing Race, we bid goodbye to Alli and Kym when they were the final team to reach the mat, and host, Phil Keoghan. They didn't fall victim to Brooke's plan for all the other teams to double U-turn the cyclists, but instead their decision to go for the Fast Forward cost them precious time that they were unable to make up. I certainly hope that Kym and Alli will be invited to participate in the next All-Star edition because they are fierce!
That leaves four teams still in The Amazing Race: newlywed surfers Bethany and Adam, food scientists Maya and Amy, dating wrestlers Robbie and Brooke and the married dentists with the pearliest whites on television, Misti and Jim. So who will take the lead in this leg of the race? Let's find out!

While Friday's episode of "The Amazing Race" is likely to be another non-elimination leg, if a team is axed, both Amy and Maya and Brooke and Robbie have 9/2 odds of being eliminated next according to Gold Derby's exclusive racetrack odds. But what does last week's contest leader Adam Rock think? Gold Derby sat down with Rock to talk about how he knew Kym and Alli would be eliminated last week, who he thinks is going home next, and who he's predicting to win Season 25. -Break- Psst: Here's how to predict reality TV shows and win bragging rights And prizes! Why did you predict Kym and Alli to be eliminated?

They sort of hinted at this in the previous episode,...

Can we just skip to next week and the triumphant return of the "My Ox Is Broken" task? I kinda wish that "Amazing Race" recycled the most difficult of challenges more frequently. Like the hay bale challenge from Season 6 and Season 15? That one could totally be done every five seasons. And if next week's ox return is triumphant, aren't we going to be annoyed that the show waited 20 full seasons before giving somebody else the chance to try to top Colin's Season 5 meltdown? I sure will be. Fine. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Friday (November 28) night's "Amazing Race" was probably the most purely entertaining Leg of the season. It had an exciting decision process on the Fast-Forward, an impressively photogenic Roadblock and a Detour that rewarded fans who like their Detours noisy and will probably infuriate anybody who stops to think about it for more than a second.

We are down to the final five teams on The Amazing Race as the competitors hope to out-race the other teams and win the cool one million dollar prize. I have really liked this season so far, but I will admit that I am surprised that a couple of the teams have made it to this point.
Last time, Brooke plotted to convince the other teams to double U-turn the cyclists Kym and Alli because the cyclists like to hang out away from the other teams. Oh, the horror! I don't feel that this rises to the level of deserving a double U-turn, but Brooke obviously really dislikes the other team. Sadly, Tim and Te Jay were the last team to arrive and were eliminated from The Amazing Race. So who will take the lead in this leg? Let's find out!

Say this for "The Amazing Race": I went into Friday's episode tweeting that I didn't remember a thing that was happening this season after a week away for CBS to air a failed awards show and by the end of the episode, 55 minutes later, I was yelling at my screen and getting really anxious about the pending result. No, I didn't get what I wanted when it came to the episode's elimination. And no, it wasn't even all that great an episode, though it had great moments. But when they want to, the "Amazing Race" editors can orchestrate a thrilling climax pitting ostensible heroes against clear villains and they can still make me care. Let's talk about Friday's (November 21) night's "Amazing Race" episode and its exciting ending after the break... Oh, I wanted The Wrestlers gone so bad. So. So. So bad. And that's what the editors wanted. Brooke,...

I am finding this season of The Amazing Race very entertaining. I like the personalities of the competitors (for the most part, but someone has to be sort of nasty, right?) as well as the challenges and locations. With six teams left, you can bet that the teams are going full throttle for the remaining legs.
Misti and Jim finished in first place in Sicily (again), followed by Kym and Allison and Maya and Amy. Te Jay and Tim were the last team to reach the mat, but are still in the game as it was a non-elimination leg of The Amazing Race. So who will take the lead this time? Let's find out!

Happy 300th Leg to "The Amazing Race." No, that doesn't mean this was the 300th episode of "The Amazing Race." By my count, it was only 296, but... Oh, I'm not going to bother trying to figure it out. "The Amazing Race" celebrated this semi-arbitrary milestone in predictable fashion with a Leg that featured a fantastic Roadblock, an interestingly misgauged Detour, some beautiful Sicilian scenery, an opening 20 minutes of filler and... Yup. A Non-Elimination Leg. "Amazing Race" doesn't like to send people home after Legs characterized by altruism and nobody likes to mix a milestone with an elimination. And, as always, you could get a strong sense that an Nel was coming due to the half-hearted editing of the climax and a really, really lame opening 20 minutes. The first segment of tonight's episode was essentially the Bikers making fun of the Dentists, who started with a lead of over 100 minutes. That...

Embargos and NDAs aside, in four or five months, I'll be able to let readers know why it was so amusing to me that "The Amazing Race" spent a second consecutive Leg traveling through Morocco on Friday (October 31) night. That amusement held sway even though Friday's Leg was, as we've almost come to expect from "The Amazing Race" this season, a mixed bag of really good tasks, confusingly confusing tasks and gratuitously complicated tasks. It was a Leg that made me build more appreciation for the teams I already liked, gave a couple unexpected stars the chance to shine, but also failed to generate even an iota of tension or excitement surrounding its result. But I liked the scenery, I liked the Greeter with the chicken on his head and I'm sure that this "Amazing Race" episode set a record for most goat teat close-ups. And, staring down an impressive wall of exhaustion,...

Last time on The Amazing Race, we saw some teams melt down as another team's performance level went way, way down. Nici fell on her way to the mat, and had a melt-down after bickering with her mother, Shelley, during this entire leg of the race.
Alli and Kym reached the Pit Stop first, and claimed first place. Misti and Jim, who had a disastrous time on every challenge, arrived last and presented Phil with The Save. This was, in fact, a non-elimination leg of CBS' The Amazing Race, so they got to keep The Save and keep on racing. Was I a tiny bit disappointed? Yes, I was. Perhaps this lesson will help Jim with his ego (probably not). So who will take the lead on this leg of The Amazing Race? Let's find out!

Oh, come on. I'm doing a slew of set visits in Vancouver and I started watching "The Amazing Race" after midnight and within 20 minutes, it was clear that nobody was going home on Friday's (October 17) episode. Nope. You can't make your entire episode into an semi-altruistic showcase, essentially a joint commercial for Ford hybrids and Danish eco-consciousness and then send somebody home. Nope, this was an episode about good feelings for both a country trying to do well by Mother Earth and a company paying "The Amazing Race" to talk about its automotive advancements. But then, to make matters worse, it became clear based on the editing -- and based on a week of very spoilery editing -- that this was the week that Jim's hubris would finally catch up with previously formidable Team Dentist. Actually, it had always been Jim's hubris that ran the risk of cursing the Dentists,...

The third episode of "The Amazing Race" took the nine remaining teams to Scotland's Shetland Islands for the first time in the show's 25 seasons.

It's going to take a while before this feels normal, isn't it? Friday (September 28) marked a new time period premiere for "The Amazing Race," which kicked off its 25th installment far from the Sunday 8 p.m. home in which viewers have become accustomed to football/golf/basketball delays throughout the year. That means that instead of having Sunday come to an abrupt end in the late afternoon as I wait for "The Amazing Race" to start, a normal Friday workday just never ends. So... Yay! Friday's "Amazing Race" premiere had the disadvantage of following a very good "Survivor" launch on Wednesday. I say it every year, but there's just not enough time in a single hour to properly introduce a full assortment of reality show contestants and also deliver satisfactory and fun challenges. So Wednesday's "Survivor" got to be 90 minutes and, perhaps as a result, I finished the premiere with...

Bucking years of delayed gratification and withholding, CBS and "The Amazing Race" announced the show's Season 25 cast on Saturday (May 31) morning, just hours after the contestants left the starting line in New York City. In recent years, it has become an annual tradition for "Amazing Race" enthusiasts to be able to cobble together the identities of between 85 and 100 percent of the teams based on purloined cell phone pictures snapped from airports and outside challenges around the globe, images that were then matched with cryptic tweets and obscure Facebook status updates to the point of near-certainty. Despite those reports, though, CBS reliably waited until weeks before premiere for a full, formal casting announcement. The reason for the Season 25 deviation is simple: Rather than picking a starting line in a remote location or at a controllable venue like a stadium, the 11 participating teams left Times Square earlier this morning from the civilian-packed...

Premium Rush, The Apparition, Hit & Run debut. Summer leftovers vie for their shot at the box office pie As the tentpole films end, the box office bottom feeders come in to scrap the box office pie for their share of what's left. That doesn't mean that the films are not of good quality, at least some of them. Top of these offerings is the David Koepp-directed action/crime flick Premium Rush with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Kym Perfetto starring. The Sony Pictures release opens in around 2, 100 theaters and follows Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie – super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic.
