Written by Jim Murphy

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

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

–The finale for Season 30 will take place over two hours on Wednesday, February 21.

Busy week or so ahead of us all over the ‘non sport entertainment betting’ map. We’ve got a couple of big reality TV shows wrapping up their season–‘The Amazing Race’ and ‘Top Chef’. The ‘Razzie Awards’ take place on March 3 as do the ‘Independent Spirit Awards’ with the main event of the Hollywood Awards Season–the Academy Awards–set for March 4. Before that, there’s a couple more ‘precursor’ awards with the ‘Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild Awards’ on Saturday, February 24, the ‘Costume Designers Awards’ on Tuesday, February 20, and the ‘Cinema
Audio Society Awards’ also set for Saturday, February 24.

Were that not enough, two big reality shows are getting set to begin. ‘Survior’ will begin their 36th season on February 28 while ‘The Voice’ debuts on February 26. ‘American Idol’ isn’t far behind, as it’s set to begin on March 11.

So let’s turn our attention to ‘The Amazing Race’ which will settle the score for their 30th season over two hours this Wednesday. Lucas & Brittany (aka ‘Team Ocean Rescue’) were eliminated in the previous two hour episode set as were Henry & Evan (aka ‘Team Yale’). That leaves three contestants to vie for the Season 30 crown as Alex & Conor, Cody & Jessica and Kristi & Jen go at it here.
