Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
For its seventh edition, The Amazing Race welcomed two familiar faces. Reality TV vets Rob and Amber were one of eleven teams competing for the million-dollar prize. The other contestants covered the spectrum, like boyfriends Lynn and Alex, brothers Brian and Greg, married couple Uchenna and Joyce, and mother/son duo Susan and Patrick. The latter decides he'll do whatever it takes to beat Boston Rob. As he notes in the season premiere, 'I watched Survivor. He's as dumb as a rock.' The show’s top-rated installment spanned five continents and 40,000 miles, from Long Beach, CA to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Other pit stops include Buenos Aires, Istanbul, and London. Some of the more colorful challenges include llama herding in Peru and cave rappelling in South Africa, while the emotional high point is a trip to a Soweto orphanage, an experience that reduces Uchenna and Joyce to tears. There will also be sacrifices along the way, as when Gretchen, the second oldest contestant--after her 69-year-old husband, Meredith--has a frightening fall and Joyce says so long to her hair. The seventh season of The Amazing Race is broken into 12 episodes, including three two-part programs. This boxed set features a mini-documentary, chatty commentary from four of the highest-ranked teams, and over three hours of deleted material. After the race aired, Lynn and Alex and Rob and Amber--on network TV, naturally--tied the knot. It was also revealed that Joyce once had a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Not the best season of The Amazing Race series
For many years now, I have been a great fan of The Amazing Race (TAR) TV reality series. That's why I can say that Season 7 is not one of its best season.
This is mainly due to the casting of members from the Survivor reality show. I thought that TAR is all about having regular common 2-team people racing around the world. By putting contestants from another reality show, like Survivor, really sucks because these teams have the experience of being on a reality show.
Anyway, the 11 teams in Season 7 were Rob and Amber, Lynn and Alex, Patrick and Susan, Ron and Kelly, Meredith and Gretchen, Brian and Greg, Ryan and Chuck, Ucheanna and Joyce, Debbie and Bianca, Megan and Heidi, and lastly, Ryan and Deana.
I liked teams Meredith and Gretchen, Ucheanna and Joyce, and Brian and Greg; really nice people and were the life of the show; they made the show fun to watch. Nasty teams like Rob and Amber, Ray and Deana, Patrick and Susan, and Lynn and Alex were the people you want to hate and lose the race.
A few incidents badly marked the show; For one, Rob and Amber were irritating, cocky and mean. I was very happy that they didn't win in the end. I didn't like them when they said Meredith may have pushed Gretchen (the elderly couple team) on purpose - Gretchen fell in the dark while doing their cave detour, and her face was bleeding. Rob and Amber didn't symphatize or leave money to help the elderly couple when they were stripped of their money after ... Read More
Rating:  - My latest obsession!
OK- so I'm a bit slow on the uptake: I just started watching The Amazing Race this season. (12) I wanted to see more so I ordered seaon 7.
I LOVE Season 7!!! Granted, I disliked Amber and Rob on Survivor( though looking back, Rob really should've won Survivor) but I love them on TAM! Their game strategies were hilarious (ex: Stealing the cab from the Blondes) and really took the game to a new level. I think they should've won the whole thing.
I couldn't stand Gretchen! I was hoping she'd go the first week. Her whiney, complainey voice was like nails on a chalkboard. She talked so LOUD all the time, it drove me nuts.I am impressed how far she and her hubby got, however.
I think all of the other couples had alot of personality and they made the season alot of fun. Great job by the casting director.
PS- They should have a party game : Drink everytime someone says "Baby" or "honey".....too many times!!!
Rating: - Amazing Race, it's definitely amazing
It's just amazing. It really makes you want to participate in the race yourself. I really cannot wait to get my hands on the next season, whenever it's published.
Rating: - Great Product!
Surely brought back memories from back in the year these shows originally came out.
Rating: - Best Season To Date
This was the best season of the Amazing Race. Rob and Amber continued their domination from Survivor All-Stars. They would have won if not for Uchenna and Joyce's airplane miracle. (Has anyone else ever seen an airplane come back to the terminal for anyone?) This was very entertaining the entire season. Check it out!
