    The show at least moves at a fast clip and blazes past some impressive scenery ... Despite the higher production values, "The Amazing Race" offers little more than a blur of people shouting, "Which way do we go?" [5 Sep 2001]

    For every instance of contestants behaving in a transcendent manner, there are half a dozen demonstrations of pettiness, impatience, anger and jealousy. [5 Sep 2001]

    Unfortunately, watching harried Americans run in and out of airports is not fascinating television, so "The Amazing Race" gets off to a less than gripping start. [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.
