For the categories that are based on individual episodes, TAR's was "You Don't Get Paid Unless You Win" (TAR 18, episode 8 Varanasi. India).

Yeah I still don't get that choice.

Varanasi was good mswood, why not??

dryedmangoez · « **Reply #6 on:** July 14, 2011, 04:11:02 PM »

I think there were better, more exciting episodes than Varanasi definitely.
If TAR17 were in HD, I think there'd be plenty of early episodes in the season that would be good submissions too.

theschnauzers · « **Reply #7 on:** July 14, 2011, 04:18:08 PM »

Varanasi represented a visit to the highly important Ganges River and a religious tradition associated with one of the oldest civilizations on the planet.

The filming, especially from the river to the shorelines were spectacular. I think one has to view the choices not from how one views what happened to favorite teams on the leg, but more independently on how the episodes represented the best of the seasons(s), especially with the upgrade to high definition.

At least one of the trade news sites thinks that TAR has a really good shot of recapturing the reality competition Emmy, and I do think some of the technical awards are in play. Whether TAR can win one for Bert as director or Phil as host is harder to read. But I have hope we won't be seeing TAR going home empty handed as happened last year.

Poor TAR.. I hope TAR need work hard as well.

docol · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2011, 07:17:57 PM »

TAR really and honestly DESERVES to win....i mean, last year's winner was such a ROBE, i was like, r u kidding me?? Maybe Survivor or The Apprentice would've been more deserving choices, but Top Chef? C'mon.....The episode in Varanasi has STUNNING and PRICELESS portions of video, which (i hope) will help a lot to give the award to The Amazing Race..!

BY THE WAY, can anyone recap the awards here? Specially when the present "the most-outstanding reality competition award" i cannot watch it online, so it'd be great if someone can do that 4 me...thxx a lot!

TAR is the best!! I love how they recognize how it is better than other competitive reality shows that may be more popular in ratings!

apskip · « **Reply #20 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:53:13 AM »

I think it is interesting to take a look at recent ratings for reality show, which I have culled from a wide variety of sources and not just one internally consistent place (because I cannot find such a place):

U.S. Viewers (in millions)
American Idol 16
Dancing with the Stars 14.5
America's Got Talent 14
Survivor 11
Amazing Race 10
Jersey Shore 9 (can you believe this?)
Big Brother 8
last night's X-Factor 8 (which I predict will go down because it just isn't a very good show)
Biggest Loser 6
Hell's Kitchen 6

I personally watch what a very select group of the above (AGT, Amazing Race, Hell's Kitchen) plus several other chef competition shows (Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, Top Chef-Just Desserts, Master Chef). I can attest to the superiority of AR17 and AR18 over all these shows.

I know the other shows above by reputation and it would be laughable for any of them to consider themselves competitive with the Amazing Race.

So, I agree with you, Prophet. There are 4 higher rated show than the Amazing Race, but none of them has sufficient quality to compete.

Now I'm complaining more about Phil not winning best host! His job is as taxing and hard as Jeff!

dryedmangoez · « **Reply #22 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:29:23 PM »

Phil may not have won Best Host yet, but at least he has his share of Emmys. He also gets a statue as an official member of production I believe?

slayton · « **Reply #23 on:** September 22, 2011, 09:01:09 PM »

You can get ratings info from thefutoncritic or tvbythenumbers, apskip.

In terms of total viewers, American Idol performance shows and Dancing with the Stars performance shows usually get ~20 million.

America's Got Talent is between 12-13.

The X Factor had ~12 million for its debut.

slayton,
I did not use your source, but I stand behind each and every number in my above post. Of course with ratings there are different time periods so you can get different results and interpretations. I used what I feel to be reasonable assessments of those different results and interpretations. If you have better numbers in total (not just for 30% of the ones I listed), go right ahead and show us.
