I thought about putting this in the Guilty Pleasures thread, but NO!-- this show is nothing to feel guilty about. Who else here is addicted to this show?

This is hands-down the best reality show on television, and is the only reason I ever turn my TV on. I first got into watching it last season after seeing how devoted and large a following it has at Television Without Pity. (I don't watch television, but I read about it. It's funnier that way, and quicker.) If you watch The Amazing Race, you MUST read the weekly recaps at TWoP.

The Amazing Race Recaps

So far this season, I haven't found a team I really want to root for, though I've got a few people I'd love to see drop out (Mirna, mostly--Charla is no peach, but she's not as bad as her terrible cousin, who probably brings out the worst in her). Last week's leg was insane--a grotesque amount of bus & plane travel, followed with a grotesque amount of fish eggs. I didn't understand how the caviar was so hard to get down until I read some nutritional details in the recap. Blech!

Tuesdays, 10pm Eastern/Pacific, 9pm Central/Mountain, CBS

The Amazing Race website at CBS (not as good as the TWoP stuff, but has pictures of the teams to get you up to speed.)
