TheRealLadyGaga Opening hours & Luck. 0 Jan 24 2010, 8:03 AM EST by TheRealLadyGaga

I really hate it when clueboxes are placed behind gates that say something "Not open until 8am". It is extremely annoying, and it is really not fair for the leading team who has to throw away any time advantage he/she has. I also really hate luck based tasks, such as searching for a red bean out of thousands of green beans as seen in family edition, and in Season 14 where only 6 of 100 drawers contain clueboxes. Luck based stuff should not be allowed, unless it is used for a Fast Forward.

I personally disliked the family edition of the Amazing Race. It was about as interesting as watching a toilet flush. I watched every episode though, being the avid fan that I am. To narrow the casting down to a specific genre would take away from the positive aspect of the whole show. The caustic and sometimes funny banter between the diverse teams from every walk of life. The best team example of this was Drew and Kevin on their first race. The banter between those two was PRICELESS!!!!! The All-Star race was a slight let down. Rob and Amber , the first time around was great, but I guess married life just took all that mischievous little boy charm out of Rob. The chemistry between the teams was not there throughout the whole race. Kevin and Drew were quite lacklustre too. The best part of the All- Star race were the middle episodes. It started slow , gained momentum , and finished on a downturn. The producers of the show needs to read these message boards and act accordingly. I for one could bring new life to this show. I"m a natural born critic with no tolerance for stupidity. Why someone with a premise for a show this good would muck it up the way they have lately is beyond me.

Another Emmy win for Outstanding Reality Competition Program - Congratulations! The show deserves it, I only wish the CBS Execs who plot out the programming would recognize if they got behind this show and promoted it better they would have a bigger hit than Survivor. I can't believe CBS has shelved their emmy winner from their fall line up - how idiotic. Get the show back on the air & support it with a good time slot.

While the show doesn't need much improvements here's some suggestions:

1. I appreciate the elimnation of the begging for money when a team comes in last place during a non-elmination round. Please do not return this feature as it was so embarrassing to see Americans begging for money in foreign countries. The 30 minute time penalty works but just make sure the team does have the opportunity to try and make it out of last place in the next leg.
2. Definitely please have a reunion show on the final night, Survivor & Big Brother do it - Amazing Race needs to.
3. While I recognize the logistic nightmare it would be to organize, it would be fun to start with more than 11 teams. Basically I would like to see more episodes, the season runs way too fast. Maybe episodes which show pit-stop activity or more non-elimination rounds would be cool.
4. A Y Intersection Detour - where the two team members must split and each one do must do one of the detour events solo.
5. Would love to see Detours/Road Blocks which involve giving back to the community their visiting. Example Habitat for Humanity in Africa.
6. In an effort to increase the number of episodes more episodes where the pit stop is not reached during the 1 hour show.
7. Have an All-Star edition where viewers vote on selecting the teams/team mates.

Finally & Most importantly - Keep the show on the air CBS!!
