That makes sense.
theschnauzers:
I agree that it's the local crews that man locations and not the teams that travel with Phil and the Racers that are the barrier. (The fact that Survivor's crews are using HD cameras makes the point.)

Why hasn't "The Amazing Race" followed the industry trend and moved into high definition?
"I think it should be in hi-def," Keoghan agrees. "The complication, or one of the challenges that we have is that we do utilize a lot of foreign crews when we're traveling. It's very difficult to just turn up in Siberia and say, 'Oh, let's call the local guy with the HD camera and he can come down and supplement our shooting.' It's a little bit more complicated than, say, facilitating an HD shoot on 'Survivor,' where you can fly all of the equipment into one spot and you've got all your technical support there, you've got a guy who can sit down every night and look after the equipment. We're moving at breakneck speed, 28 days, flying hundreds-of-thousands of miles, or at least anywhere from 75,000 miles in a given race, so we just don't have the same luxury of being an 'Idol' or 'Survivor,' where everything is brought to one place, it's 69 degrees, where the air-conditioning is perfect. We're out sweating in Botswana or anywhere else and that's been a huge part of the challenge. But, I absolutely agree with you. I'd love to see the show in HD. I don't think there's a show on TV that lends itself more to HD."

Random question I've wondered for a long time now. I think I know what it means (by its usage in sentences), but I've never been sure.
So the question is: What does TPTB stand for? ???
