Gotta love The Amazing Race! What other TV show -reality or scripted - would visit such memorials as the Senegal slave-selling portal with descendants of slaves (Uchenna and Joyce); a WWII extermination camp, with racers whose people survived another 20th century genocide attempt (Charla & Mirna, Armenians in Turkey, WWI) and now Hiroshima with a US military officer (Dave) and a PhD student who's studying radiation for healing purposes (Brendon)?
No other reality show has ever dared get as real...the closest Survivor ever got was China and a South Seas island with a sunken military ship on its coastline. Although 2 of the NY-based cop shows referenced 9-11 (CS NY, and Blue Bloods), but still, nothing beats the pathos and lessons of REAL connections to abominations, some of which were committed by the US and/or consortium of countries involved in the slave trade!
GO TAR!!!!!
