Regarding "fixing the race".....

I don't think CBS would take the chance. Athough Amazing Race is a "reality show"-- it is also a "game show" with a million dollars at stake.

Do you remember the 1994 movie "Quiz Show?" It was based on the real life scandal. It was based on the what happened in the 1950's on a show called, "Twenty One."

Some former contestants came forward and disclosed that the show was rigged. The winners were coached and the entire show was rigged. The network was taken to court.

As a result of this scandal, Congress made rigging a game show a federal crime.
