The Race of a Lifetime

ASSI - It is the 13th season of the “Amazing Race” and it is still my favorite reality show. Out of all the reality shows available, the Amazing Race is the only show that I would take a chance at becoming a cast member. Eleven teams of two set out to race around the world for a million dollars, which is truly the icing on the cake. Traveling from country to country is exciting enough, the various road blocks and detours designed to test the contestants’ fears, determination, will power, and mental strength make the competition a thrilling adventure. At the beginning of each race the team receives a clue regarding the next destination, but before arriving at the final destination for the current leg of the race, the teams encounter a road block that must be completed before receiving their next clue, which is generally a detour that only one member of the team must successfully execute prior to making their way to the check-in point. The first team to check-in wins a prize from free gas for a year to a trip for two, which is a great incentive to come in first. Regardless if a team checks in first or last they all say what an amazing experience they had and how the race changed their lives. As I see if you enjoy watching reality shows and you have not has the pleasure of tuning into the Amazing Race take a look, and I am sure you will find yourself wanting to complete an entry form for the next race. I give the Amazing Race 5 blinks.
