A report from CBS News Sunday Morning about Blake Mycoskie, TAR 2.
Amazing Race China is looking for a number of production roles to be filled immediately.
The show is a team-based, race-structured competition that follows 10 teams through 12 different cities in China as they compete for first place. Along the way they must complete tasks in each city and battle each other to avoid being eliminated.
Production is scheduled to begin in late April/Early May running through mid-June with post-production scheduled to continue until September. Each episode will involve three day shoots in each city with a day break in between.
It wouldn't be Emmy season without some old-fashioned trash-talking.
Donald Trump is taking aim at perennial outstanding reality competition series winner "Amazing Race," the only show to take home the prize since its inception in 2003.
“It’s a shame that 'Amazing Race’ keeps winning, because it doesn’t deserve to win it," Trump tells THR. “It wins every year because they know how to politic the Emmys."
Just so happens that 'Race' is in competition with Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice," which the Donald believes -- shocker -- is having one of its best seasons ever.
He says he fully expects not just an Emmy nomination in the reality competition category (which would be the series' third, the first two being for non-celebrity cycles) but a triumphant win on Aug. 29.
Well, if that pesky "Race" would just get out of his way.
Trump believes the predictability in the reality competition category has contributed to the recent decline in Emmy ratings (though last year’s telecast was up by more than 1 million viewers from 2008).
“They’ve lost credibility,” Trump says of voters. “Instead of shows that deserve to win, they pick 'Amazing Race.' It’s a very sad commentary.”
Perhaps Trump is sore over what happened in 2004, the first year that "Apprentice" and "Race" faced off. Ever assured, Trump recalls he was halfway out of his seat when the Emmy presenter began announcing "Race" as the winner.
"I was standing up to go down there and pick up the Emmy,” he says. "Incredible. It’s a joke. If the Emmys want their ratings back, they have to pick shows that deserve it."
'Sex and the City's' Sarah Jessica Parker on 'Amazing Race's' 'perfect season'
By Jay Bobbin
May 20, 2010 5:07 PM ET
Although "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't watch "American Idol" nor "Dancing With the Stars," when it comes to televised competitions, she has a clear favorite.
"I follow 'The Amazing Race,'" Parker tells Zap2it. "I think they were back on their game this past season. It was like the first two seasons, as good as it has ever been, with probably the greatest team that ever competed: the cowboys, because of how they conducted themselves in every country they traveled around.
"I just thought it was the perfect season."
And SJP needs to know what makes a good reality show these days.
The Emmy-winning actress' second sequel to her HBO series hits theaters next Thursday (May 27), and while she's doing bountiful promotion for it, she also has a big stake in a reality-competition show she's executive-producing. She's glad the anticipation for the movie also is letting her bring attention to "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist," which Bravo premieres Wednesday, June 9.
"This is not an opportunity for me to be on screen, nor about money," Parker says, though she appears in the first episode to set 14 artists on the path to the top prize of a museum show and $100,000. "I want people to know how much they can invite art into their home, and how much they're already surrounded by it every single day."
Parker was able to keep tabs on "Work of Art" while filming "Sex and the City 2" quite comfortably. In fact, she reports that "coincidentally, the first day of shooting on both was the same day.
"Because we were shooting the movie in the streets, I got to finish early enough to stop by the set of the show and watch the first day of taping, which was thrilling. We'd been talking about it for two years or more, so it was a long time coming. It was great to start the day as Carrie Bradshaw, then trot down to the Chelsea area and this wonderful studio that Bravo built and see what was happening."
Among entertainment shows, CBS’ “The Amazing Race” leads for Republicans — while Dems favor “Mad Men,” which pulls in just 2 million viewers each week on AMC.
Republicans like TAR better than Democrats??Apparently my bleeding heart, tree hugging gay ass should not be watching TAR.

Not TAR...but could have an impact?:
New Delhi, Nov 29 (PTI) Terming reality TV shows as"shameful"and"not in good taste", BJP today sought curbs on such programmes.
"All these so called reality shows in TV programmes are shameful and distorting our culture. These are not in good taste and affecting people. There are cases of suicide and divorces due to these shows,"BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told reporters outside Parliament.
There should be effective curbs on such shows, he said, adding,"I have raised the issue in the House and it will be raised again in the Parliament till government takes some action."
Some instances of objectionable and obscene content shown in programmes and reality shows telecast on TV channels have been brought to the notice of the government from time to time and action has been taken as per the existing provisions of the Programme and Advertisement Code prescribed under Cable TV Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995 and rules framed thereunder.
The Government has set up an electronic media monitoring Centre to keep a check on the content telecast on private television channels, which sends reports of violation of programme and advertising codes to Information and Broadcasting Ministry.

The best, worst and most disgusting moments of The Amazing Race
JUST what would you do for a million dollars?
We’ve seen contestants eat bugs, jump off buildings, get covered in the unthinkable, and all on minimum sleep and without being able to communicate with the locals.
While it’s nice to see the sights of the world, let’s face it, we watch the Amazing Race because we love it when things go wrong - the misread clues, the scheming, the dummy spits, the fights and the stacks.
Here are some of the most memorable and dramatic moments from the show's seventeen seasons.
That's gotta hurt
Never has the phrase “right in the kisser” been more prophetic than when Claire came off second best during a challenge involving a slingshot and a watermelon.
Brook doesn’t really seem like the nurturing type, telling Claire: “You have to finish, they don’t call it the Amazing Race for nothing.”
Guess one million big ones will toughen a girl up, although we reckon she’d have been finding watermelon seeds in her hair for days.
Personally I don't know what Donald Trump's problem is. (:;) I don't know a single person who watches 'The Apprentice'. TAR and Survivor are the two best reality shows, period.

This is of course a matter of personal taste. I not only watch every episode of The Apprentice, if you check the Apprentice threads (found in Other Reality TV Shows & News) for the past 4 season I have recapped every episode.
As for which reality TV program is the best, I believe the Emmy Awards in 2010 got it right. Top Chef (you can also check my recaps of most season of Top chef and every episode in the Top Chef threads (found in the same place as above) was the best, with the Amazing Race close behind. Those are my personal opinions. Feel free to express your own.
Thanks for sharing....I really appreciate it.
NFL renews television deals with CBS, Fox and NBC
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- The NFL has renewed its television deals with CBS, Fox and NBC for nine years through the 2022 season, the league announced Wednesday.
The current contracts expire after the 2013 season.
The deals will also expand the number of Thursday night games on NFL Network, but the league has not determined how many additional contests will be aired.
"These agreements underscore the NFL's unique commitment to broadcast television that no other sport has," Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "The agreements would not have been possible without our new 10-year labor agreement and the players deserve great credit. Long-term labor peace is allowing the NFL to continue to grow and the biggest beneficiaries are the players and fans."
Earlier this season, the NFL and ESPN reached an eight-year extension to keep "Monday Night Football" on the cable channel through the 2021 season.
CBS, Fox and NBC will each televise three Super Bowls during the term of the contracts, continuing the current rotation.
The nine-year terms are the longest for NFL television agreements with over-the-air broadcast networks. The previous longest were the eight-year deals with CBS, Fox and ABC from 1998-2005.
CBS will continue to show the AFC package on Sunday afternoons as it has since 1998, while Fox still has the NFC package that it first acquired in 1994.
"Sunday Night Football" will remain on NBC, which picked it up in 2006. The network will add the annual Thanksgiving prime-time game starting in 2012.
Flexible scheduling will stay in effect to ensure quality late-season matchups on Sunday late afternoons and nights. It will be expanded in 2014, with the details yet to be worked out.

An ultimate shout-out for TAR:
According to an Access Hollywood interview with creator Ryan Murphy, Glee is casting two of its characters, Sue Sylvester and Holly Holliday (played by Jane Lynch and Gwyneth Paltrow as a team that tries out on a fictional season of TAR. (Supposedly they'll be seen on Glee's 100th episode; but it could be used to deal with Sue's character for the balance of the show's current season as the story forcus shifts from Lima to New YorK)

'Amazing Race' renewed for another seasonFinally confirmed! :)
http://www.hitfix.com/the-fien-print/good-wife-amazing-race-odd-couple-lead-cbs-renewals
I wanted to talk with Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri, executive
producers of "The Amazing Race," about the future of the show and found them
easily. When I told them fans had been concerned that CBS had lost faith in the
show, they said that wasn't their impression at all. And in more good news, they
said they had just met with the network and were casting another season to
follow the one airing in the fall.
Flavor Of Love. The idea that he had some of the most, would I consider maybe
not the most desirable women in the world, they were really nutty. I mean really
crazy. I'd think The Amazing Race. It was like a show I watched in Paris,
similar to that. One episode I saw, they had to fight their way to the top of a
hotel in Singapore, and answer impossible questions. I used to watch it just to
see people completely fall apart. They would try to answer, and it would kill
them. But The Amazing Race looks like a lot of fun. You get to go to a bunch of
places. It calls on all your skills. I tell people, if you want to get married,
travel around the world first. Cause then you get to know people better. Its a
test of wills to travel. I think The Amazing Race would be fun.
You know, it really depends on the type of show you are on because they vary so wildly in style. I've worked on a number of reality shows as a lighting technician, the ones I can remember the most are the amazing race, the great escape, kitchen nightmares, and twinning.
...
Shows like the amazing race and the great escape on the other hand are pretty dang real. Because of the obstacles and challenges they are interesting enough without the producers interfering that much. On the great escape because of the style of the show, we would go back the next day and reshoot key moments in a cinematic way to push that style. While it was "fake" it was still pretty dang real.
TAR got nominated for "Best Reality Competition Series"...here's the link :conf:

OK, after 8 1/2 years, this may be the most delayed follow up in the history of RFF, but I thought it was interesting. Thanks to Peach for pointing me to the quoted post.
Somebody is still annoyed about the 2004 Emmys.
“The Apprentice” was on the president’s mind as he explained why he thought he wouldn’t be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his work with North Korea.
“Well, they’ll never give it to me. We should have gotten the Emmy for ‘The Apprentice,’ you know?” Trump said. “I had the No. 1 show, ‘The Apprentice.’ Arnold Schwarzenegger blew it. Big movie star. It was dead in two nights. I had it for 14 seasons.”
Trump recalled being at The Emmys after “The Apprentice’s” first season in 2004 when the show lost to “The Amazing Race.” It lost to “The Amazing Race” in 2005 as well.
“So they’re saying he’s done a magnificent job, this show has gone to the top of the heap … and the winner is, and I stood up … and they said ‘Amazing Race’ and I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding?’ That show was terrible,” Trump said. “ ‘Amazing Race’ got it because ‘Amazing Race’ was the establishment.”
