it is pretty amazing

I enjoy watching the TV "reality" show "The Amazing Race" for a couple of reasons. First it's nice to see some views of the places they travel and, second, it makes me really appreciate the traveling I do which is usually with a well organized travel group. I admit to getting a little breathless as I watch the competing teams running, rowing, racing up and down steps and hills and generally exhausting themselves to be the first to a certain spot. I do think the show has the right idea this year. They created the teams by pairing up total strangers.  In years past the couples were usually relatives or close friends and I often wondered how many couples split up by the end of the race. Isn't it interesting what people will put themselves through in hopes of winning a million dollars?
