Behind the Screen: The Amazing Race 34

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Are Claire and Derek flopping? Are they actually entertaining? I stopped watching after episode 1... I can't stand them

They are irrelevant and cheesy but not unbearable. They are a cute friendship but have zero sexual chemistry.

Great location tonight. Seemingly basic tasks but the visuals made up for it

Really thought we would make it through the season with no COVID problems, rip that

Yeah, tbh I feel bad but US should just remove the team that is positive, keep going (probably make next episode a non elim) and not bring them back. Canada/Australia got too messy because of teams coming in and out

Eh I mean this latest leg felt kinda low stakes because everyone knew they wern't going home cause of the covid evacuated team

Agreed. That was dumb to tell us and the cast.  

Also, these task just seem so lame these days.

All the teams are likeable which is the problem. The show desperately needs some tension and drama. 

anon12423452355...#78

This wasn't my favorite season but love the twins and so happy they made the final! I liked the eliminated couple too, poor David. I wish it would have been Claire and Derek to leave.

Seeing Amazing Race shift their focus from drama and intensity to light-heartedness and fun has been sad. They had such a good show and concept that kept them going for 30+ seasons and all of sudden are shifting. I've been rewatching old seasons now that all seasons are on Paramount+ and IT'S SO GOOD! We need villains, unlikeable people, drama, and some mechanism to drive drama (used to be airport drama but U-Turns are good too)

anon12423452355...#80

All Viacom shows have gone that way. Of course you can freely say it but when I say it I'm being miserable and negative lol. This show really did have great drama and villains though!

Amazing Race's transformation has been MUCH clearer and drastic thasn Survivor's

Big Brother was fresh off a pretty solid season, however, you'd have to watch it live because editors cut out most of the good shit. They even underedited Joseph because they thought KKKyle was the frontrunner.

Anyway, I've been rewatching the show and I'm on Amazing Race 5 and it is absolutely one of the best seasons. Drama every episode, memorable teams, fun legs, and most important of all: the travel drama. The entire season it's a mad dash for the best flights, buses, taxis, boats, horse-drawn carriages. If you haven't watched, I highly recommend.

Anyway, what the Race is missing is definitely the traveling drama. It needs travel drama and sneaky flight bookings. Everything is chartered now. I get why, COVID restrictions and all but with a show like Amazing Race whose entire basis is built on traveling, it severely hinders the show.

Ugh the sisters were sooo close!!!! I wanted them to win so bad! Bring them back!!! Derek and Claire just irk me. Their relationship seems so odd. It's very brother/sister as opposed to lovers.

Aspiring#84

The finale was a little boring, very little room to pass each other, but that final task was pretty hard. Happy for the winners tho. I wanted either them or the twins to win. Luis/Michelle were nice and all but super boring.

amandagarciaisaqueen#85

I loved that final task, one of the more challenging ones on the race! Bummed Emily and Molly didn't win. Seems like they were able to get ahead on every task but fell behind traveling. One of my favorite race teams of all time!

TwoStrikes#86

didn't watch this season at all but kept the finale on in the background after survivor when i saw claire and dx were still in it and i'm mad they won lol i wanted the twins to win bc it's a cool story
