The thing I like about Amazing Race is that the intensity of the situations the contestants are put in really seems to bring out the contestants' true nature. The players' reactions don't seem contrived or manipulated (either by the producers or clever editing), which seems to be the problem with some of the other reality shows I watch. I also like the fact that the show is so action-packed-- it's fast-paced, and there are so many little storylines to follow with each team. Plus, most of the contestants are just ordinary people, not the freakin' swimsuit models you see the other reality shows filling their rosters with.
