As I'm gearing up for tonight's season premiere of Amazing Race Season 19, I began thinking about what makes a tv show good? I am a sucker for Amazing Race, maybe its nerdy but I love the different aspects of this show.
First of all, I relish the thought of adventure. I haven't had the opportunity to travel a lot, but I hope I will be able to in the future. The idea of racing around the world and seeing so many awesome sites and cultural events is so intriguing. Second, I am competitive. As any one of my swim coaches or teammates would say I am "cut-throat-competitive." I pick a team within the first few episodes and support them all the way through the race. Then I start to hate the rest of the teams and hope they make dumb mistakes:) This is also why I think I would make a really good competitor on this show. I hope it continues on the air so once I am old enough I can apply. Sometimes I think about who I would want my partner to be. My dad? No we would get too frustrated with each other. My sister? We would fight too much? A best friend? Heck I don't know, I guess I have time to decide.
Another reason I am a fan of Amazing Race is that it is one of the only shows that seems real to me. There are so many reality tv shows that are just ridiculous in my opinion. Full of preventable drama, drugs, sex and fake relationships. You really have to be pretty smart to be successful on The Amazing Race. There is a great combination of physical tasks, mental tasks, a little bit of drama and competitiveness. These are the qualities I think make this such a great show. Don't get my wrong there are other good shows out there, I just like the uniqueness of this one.
This season is definitely going to be fun. With a pair of snowboarders, showgirls, dating couples and a former NFL player its definitely going to be an amazing race!
