Amazing Race 18 versus Top Chef 8: Which One for the Emmy?

<< < (2/4) > >>

georgiapeach:
HD ,that's the ticket!! TAR for the win!!

Whether they would submit a TAR 17 or 18 ep is TBD...

What episode of each show would you submit??

(And I don't watch cooking shows...they make me hungry! But I read apskip's recaps...)

kiki:
Well, I watch both shows although I do prefer TAR.

This year Top Chef all stars was very interesting, but I must say the first episodes were better that the last three or four ones, especially the first episode in the Bahamas with the fire in the kitchen was a disaster in my opinion. The best episode for me was the one with the last five chefs meeting their families and cooking something related to their roots.

Of course I'm biased in favour of TAR. HD and a few more episodes like the last one in India could make the difference and give the victory to TAR 18. I don't know if the same could be said for TAR 17, which I loved, but it was just another TAR and those who decide the awards might decide to give a chance to another show.

slayton:
I don't doubt that TPTB will submit a TAR18 episode because TAR17 can't compete with HD.

When it comes to the Emmys, it always seems difficult to unseat the incumbent.  Top Chef will likely get it again.

apskip:
I am a superfan of both shows, slayton, but I do not agree with you. I think AR18 is a better show than TC8 even though both are first-class.

Jobby:
I think TAR18 will have a better shot (and also the main factor) at it this year with HD coming into play. Of course with All-stars team returning back for a second shot, there's a general theme revolving around the show this season with "Unfinished Business"...

The teams are generally interesting and very competitive (maybe except for Mel and Mike) and I think the last episode where Margie and Luke got eliminated may be a very good episode to be sent in for emmy and strong contender to win. And we haven't watch the rest yet but it's SO GOOD already as of now.

I think Top Chef is an awesome show, but i still don't get how they beat TAR last year.. is it because if TAR win it 8 times in a row, everyone will boycott the show? In any case, it will take any other reality shows 7 or 8 more years to beat TAR's consecutive record wins.. that's if TAR isn't there to spoil it for them.

I actually think that Survivor also might have a shot at it this year.. i mean it really depends on the judging panel right? If AI gets nominated with the most recent new season then it has a fair chance with all the changes and all the new judges as well. I wouldn't be surprise if any of the other shows win after Top Chef beat TAR last year... but no... TAR is the best! :meow:

Clearly, nothing beats TAR!! :hearts:
