The Amazing Race is like the grandfather or grandmother of all reality TV shows. There are like tons of reality TV shows these days like Survivor, Big Brother, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Biggest Loser and so on, but nothing is as exhilarating as the Amazing Race. Amazing Race contestants are given a rare chance to travel around the globe and make short stopovers in several countries while attempting to perform and complete different tasks and challenges.

This is the kind of show wherein contenders need to be very well-informed to be able to carry out the tasks faster than the other contestants and move on to the next country. Competitors also need to be aware or at least be familiar with all world flags for them to easily identify the next place or country that they are going to visit. Over the years, those who always emerge as winners are those who are more well-informed and outsmart their rivals.

Contestants, aside from familiarizing world flags, also need to be very sharp-eyed and keen when it comes to hunting and identifying different signs and symbols like airport flags, avenue banners, message flags and other signs for them to know where to go next, in Amazing Race these signs are called Route Markers.

The Amazing Race offers all its fans and followers the kind of entertainment that other reality TV shows can not give. The show allows the people to get the chance to see the world and be acquainted with other countries’ cultures. The Amazing Race is really such an amazing show that combines fun and learning all in one very interactive TV show.
