Elise and Bertram talk The Amazing Race and mention the Emmys briefly. They talk about the origins of the show, the challenges of filming it and then talk about the leg in Chamonix.

Definitely looks like a vid for the Emmy voters. Great find!

I've actually just found the official Emmy FYC (For Your Consideration) page for TAR:
http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-amazing-race-fyc/
And it features that clip with Bertram and Elise plus clips from the following episodes:
27.05 - "King of the Jungle" (Zimbabwe 2)
27.10 - "Bring the Fun, Baby!" (India 2)
27.11 - "It's Not Easy Beating Green" (HK/Macau)
28.01 - "I Should've Been a Boy Scout" (Mexico)
28.05 - "We’re Only Doing Freaky Stuff Today" (Chamonix)
28.07 - "Welcome to Bloody Fingers 101" (Georgia)
28.08 - "I Have a Wedgie and a Half" (Dubai)
Like last year, it seems TAR either highlights several episodes to Emmy voters or presents several episodes to them, if not make the entire season available. But only one episode will get nominated and represent the show if it is nominated.
Of these episodes...
Meh at the Zimbabwe and Chamonix travel porn eps
None of the TAR28 episodes were especially amazing, though the Georgia Leg was the season's best episode.
I understand what makes 27.11 a possible Emmy episode. But I think either India Leg from TAR27 would be great, if not better choices. Indian Legs have won TAR 3 Emmys already. (Good luck charm?) And those 2 episodes felt most like classic TAR.

Of these legs:
India 2 on 27 would kind of make sense... but the only thing that saved that episode was Logan & Chris's blowout, Tiffany & Krista's unfortunate Indian adventure, and Denise & James-Earl. Other than that it was linear, unexciting, and meh.
Zimbabwe 2 was alright but again, it was linear and pretty unexciting.
HK had good suspense and episode (ignoring the Tiffany/Krista boot and Justin), but not quite the best.
I actually believe the TAR28 Premiere is Emmy-worthy, if only the awful virtual Starting Line and first ten minutes of the show were removed. Other than that, it was full, exciting, and one of the best premieres in a long time.
Chamonix NO. Just NO. It was easily the worst leg of the season and one of the worst legs EVER. Nothing but boring and unexciting linear tasks and little to no competition.
Georgia was great! Should have been chosen.
Dubai had meh leg design but Dana/Matt's blowout made it great.
Overall, I really hope for the show's sake that no matter what episode we choose, we get the Emmy. Emmy prestige can keep us going for a little bit more. #Praying

Great choice. :luvya: The water task is unforgetable. I believe Krista & Tiffany will bring another Emmy for CBS.
