It's a 1:12 sec vid, safe for work. It's just hypnotic.

In slow motion it looks like the Kennedy assaination. I can't believe she was simply dazed. Watermelons are anything but soft, and that thing had some serious momentum!

Wow, I don't watch that show, but I believe this clip shows us why Amazing Race has won multiple emmy's, and is going into its 17th season? Its funny to think about it, none of me and my male friends watch this show...but all the wives and women in our group adore it. Wonder what demographic they meant to capture?

I've watched it off and on over the years.
It's very formulaic but it can also be quite entertaining.

Fun watching some of the people interact as they make their way around the world. I have caught bits and pieces of some episodes over the years, but I have never set aside any time to actually watch it.

It's funny. I never heard about survivor until last year and I became an instant addict. Went out and got all 20 seasons, yes 20 seasons and watched all of them but 2 in the last 9 or so months.

Survivor I've heard of at any rate, the little I saw of the contestants kept me from watching it.

I'm guessing it's still on?

17 seasons...but I think its been on the same amount of years as survivor...since around 2001 or so? All these reality shows have 2 seasons a year it seams. One is "normal formula" the other is "zomg special change up!" formula.

Like, amazing race's normal formula is teams of 2...the change up is teams of 4! zing! (yes, I'm sure there are other ways they have changed it up, I don't watch the show, and was doing sarcasm :)

I thought this whole reality show thing pretty much took off 10 years ago; including Survivor and Amazing Race... I agree on the multiple seasons/year. Otherwise, they are lying! :P

I think Amazing Race is watchable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, like if it was on in a hotel room I might not bother switching.

Survivor though, I'd rather spend 30 minutes staring at the ceiling than watch that shite.

I think the problem is while a lot of it is contrived, AR is indeed a Race, hence qualifies as reality. Survivor is as far removed from reality as Batchelor Joe or whatever those horrendous shows are called.

Not to contradict, but Joe Millionaire was the greatest reality show evah. season 1 alone that is. No other seasons. That retard made that show fantastic! Plus, tricking all those bitches to love a poor bastard...brilliant...the looks on their faces...priceless. Watching Joe slowly figure out he better start keeping the lesser attractive hoes cause the 10s won't stick around for his poor ass, it was just so much awesome!

The reality shows need to stop. They have gone way past their time. The only one I could stand watching in the last 6-7 years was Joe Schmo. "I would like to give you a pearl necklace" .....fucking priceless....

If only we could get the redneck, FOX watching, NASCAR loving, trailer-trash people of the country to stop watching them we might have a shot.

Reality shows are cheap to produce and a lot of people watch them. Unfortunately, reality shows aren't going anywhere.
