    As always with these shows, skepticism is advised about the "reality" of "Amazing Race," from camera positioning to participants hamming it up for the lens while embarking on what Keoghan, in an upchuck of host hype, calls "the most daring competition ever attempted." [5 Sep 2001]

    A dense stew of contestants, rules and requirements. ... Some viewers may be content and even entertained by this dramatically photographed jumble of elements, but I found tonight's installment confusing to the point of being off-putting. [5 Sep 2001]

    The first season of the amazing race was awesome because of the drama and the groundbreaking new reality show that no one had done yet.

    It a great program, because each day of race I can saw new places and culturas. The activities are fun, hard, different, interesting and team work.
