Amazing Race Season 6 (2004-05)



A unique and amazing season finally out!
For the first few episodes, I really didn't like TAR6 at all. It was by far my least favourite at the time and all the bickering couples (particularly from Jonathan) mixed with all the non-couples being elminated pretty quickly really wasn't doing it for me. However, around episode 4/5 I learnt to get over that and once you stop taking the season too seriously you really learn to enjoy it. As a matter of fact, most of the bickering had me in stitches towards the end and I ended up warming to a lot more of the endgame couples than I thought I would. So overall, it ended up leveling out for me as a top tier season and one I wouldn't pass up watching again. So glad to finally be having the first 7 seasons on DVD. Keep them coming!

Truly amazing!
I've seen every episode of this series and think this is one of the rare reality shows with true value.

The thing I love most about the show are the locations. It is the next best thing to traveling the world myself. Not only do I get to see multiple and varied locales, including many that I will likely never get to travel to myself, but the show producers also do a great job of finding the most unique adventures to complete in each area. I've learned more about world geography and different cultures than I ever learned in any classroom.

It's also interesting to watch the interpersonal dynamics between teammates and between teams. I'd be lying if I didn't admit to finding the conflicts entertaining . . . and the stress of travel and competition does bring it out. But I always root for the teams that are nicest to each other.

And it's rewarding to see how the intensity of the race truly brings teammates closer together by forcing them to work...

Special Edition??
Yay! More Amazing Race on DVD!!! So glad this season is coming to dvd because it is one of my favorites!!! AND....it sais "Special Edition DVD Set" in the description...hopefully extras and commentary!?!?! fingers crossed!!!
