Quarter 3- Journal 6: The Amazing Race

is a reality television show. Its 16th season premieres tonight, and I'm quite excited. I've seen every season but the ninth, and I love the show. The show travels around the globe, and has teams competing for a grand prize of a million dollars. So right off the bat it has two things I love, competition and cultural diversity. The show takes you throughout the globe to different places, and therefore you can see how different cultures exist, and what exactly goes on. Most of the challenges, interestingly enough, relate to normal activities and trends of the country in which they're racing. This adds to the things you can learn about different cultures while watching this show. Also, since teams race in pairs of two, you can see how relationships between different types of people grow and fade as time goes on. This always add to the comic relief of the show, since it's hilarious to see couples of different varieties and ages scream at each other. I've watched a lot of the show obviously, and it's taught me a lot about the world. Someday, my grandma and I plan to go on that show. I'd like to win, since I'm competitive, but I think it'd be a great way to exert my desire to travel. I think it's a great reality show that actually serves a purpose more than entertainment.
