Amazing Race Season 15 ratings

Well in let me tell you I was very surprised to get 12 hours this season. It's still not 13, or even 14 (when we have a two hour opener with 13 legs), but it felt so much better then 11 hours that we have had lately.
So thank god for that.

Amazing Race #1 show in Canada last week!

Amazing Finale: CTV says 3.1 million Canadians watched the final episode of the 15th season of The Amazing Race on Sunday night, making the U.S. show, which is also carried on CBS, the most-watched program of the week in Canada. (For those who missed it, Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney crossed the finish line first in Las Vegas after circling the world, with stops in Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Sweden, Estonia and the Czech Republic.) This season of The Amazing Race averaged 2.68 million viewers in Canada, up 46 per cent from last fall's competition.

That's great news. Love those Canadians.

The thing is that despite the growth in popularity of the race, they still shortened it with Season 12. Now granted, it was still not on a perfectly solid foundation back then, but it had sufficiently recovered from the Family Edition, and a drastic shortening wasn't warranted. I think that it will stay at 12 hours, but I think they are going to have more seasons with 12 teams in the future. I think they would prefer having more attention-grabbing tasks and dynamic teams rather than more legs or hours of footage, so I think that's where the money will go (and is already going).
But I don't think 12 hours is enough to get to know 12 teams unless the first leg is a non-elim every season. Technically, Leg 1 of TAR 15 still had an elimination, and look at how little we got from Eric & Lisa and Garrett & Jessica.

Let's hope if TAR17 is greenlighted that CBS will increase the budget and allow the show to be shot in HD. And give us 13 to 14 hours instead of 12. We can only hope right? :lol:
