The Amazing Race is hosted by Phil Keoghan and, as a bit of the Internet seeps in, the term for when a team is eliminated has evolved to them being "Philiminated." This is done with great affection for the show's host, of course. As the teams race around the world, they have to perform both mental and physical tasks to move ahead. It can be edge-of-your-seat watching and the race to the mat can get viewers up and cheering for their favorite teams.
The Amazing Race airs every Sunday night following 60 Minutes on CBS. That would normally put it at an 8 PM ET/PT start, but football games may delay its airing on the East Coast. If you haven't watched the show, tune in and find out why it brings home the awards every season. It's exciting, interesting, and definitely entertaining -- even if you're not into the reality television genre.

The gold standard for what a reality-competition show should be.

I watch it because my wife really likes it, but one thing I hate is when people say it's good/popular because it is "wholesome."
Let's not kid ourselves here: their pairings, for the most part, tend to have some issues, and they play it up.
There is no need to say "Recently Dating" or "Dating for 12 years, virgins" EVERY time you see a team, but they do that to inflict the typical reality crap into the show.
If they cut that out, I might think more of the show.
