‘The Amazing Race’ Season 30 Episode 3 Betting Odds

–This is the 30th season for CBS’s reality show.

–’The Amazing Race’ is one of the most critically acclaimed reality shows.

–Episode 3 airs on Wednesday, January 17 at 8:00 PM Eastern.

April and Sarah aka ‘Team Goat Yoga’ were eliminated in Episode 2 of ‘The Amazing Race’ and their departure bodes well for my numbers on the show since they were the top choice to be eliminated at +250. And as if I need any ‘gravy’ the winners of the second leg of ‘The Amazing Race’ were none other than ‘Team Big Brother’ aka Cody & Jessica. FWIW, Cody and Jessica were the +325 favorites to win the second leg and remain the favorite to win the whole show. They obviously have experience at this ‘reality TV’ thing and more importantly their the ‘marquee name’ on the current season of this show. They’ll be around for awhile.

The ratings for Episode 2 dropped a little bit from the season opener but were generally strong. Key demo rating was a 1.4 with a 5 share and a total of 6.98 million viewers tuned in to watch the proceedings.

We’ll start with a more in-depth analysis of the show after the first few episodes are ‘in the books’. For now, here are the odds for Season 30 of ‘The Amazing Race’ along with proposition odds for Episode 3:
