Amazing Race is Awesome!
Awesome TV show! I love it! Some language but I say its for anyone from mature 6-year-olds-100-year-olds. It's really good and fun to watch! I'm going on it with my friend when we turn 21 and we are going to WIN!

Great show!
This is the best game show I have ever watched, though it can sometimes get rough. The comepetators like Margie/Luke and Kisha/Jen (Amazing Race 14) called each other swear words. They even sometimes kicked or made violent moves to each other! Besides that I loved it.

Tune in to the Amazing Race
I love this show it is very fun to watch for kids aged 9+. But there is some language. I also put good role models because people on that show are teaching kids courage and strength. So make sure you and your kids (9+) tune in to it.

Amazing race rocks!!
This show is the best! It teaches you to appreciate other cultures and you learn about them through the different countries they visit. I've watched it for 5 seasons now (my parents have been watching it even longer) and i love it!

Great
mild swear words but lots of kids 8 and older know not to use these worse, some teams aren't good role models but most work well together and forgive each other for their mistakes, I love this show as a traveler!

good role models+bad role models+mild swears+ geography lessons=AMAZING RACE!
This show is AWESOME! There are some swears, but other than that, it's OK. I have an 8 year old brother that knows not to say the bad words, but in my opinion, he's just mature for his age. Before I knew fr--cki- was a bad word, I kept trying to think up times to say it until it was on amazing race and my parents told me not to use it. The show demonstrates teamwork as well as team members being mean to each other, but most of the teams are good. OFF=7 and under IFFY=8-9 ON=10+

Great Show
This is a great TV show. You will learn about places around the world and watch competitors fight in a race around the world with challenges. Note: After watching you may want to take a Travelocity vacation.

Fast global race features teamwork, not for all tastes.
There is essentially nothing here that is inappropriate for children in any way, shape, or form. The only issue that you could possibly raise is profanity. But it is very mild, and rather infrequent. Seriously, Regular Show has more profanity than this show. But anyway, this show has plenty of positive messages. Like you said, the only way to win here is through teamwork. But you ignored the implication that that also means that any team that DOESN'T get along in this competition at any given point fails. Also, you have to keep in mind that, aside from the U-Turns, there's aren't any attempts to get rid of another player. Instead, they are all simply trying to finish the tasks as fast as possible. Therefore, this show is VERY good for family audiences because children will take in all the various cultures presented here that the teams visit, and of course, the underlying message of teamwork. Unlike Survivor and Big Brother, girls aren't seen in bikinis, contestants don't try to backstab each other, and there are no sexual innuendos. So if you really have game shows so badly as to make the grossly innacurate rating that you presented to this show, then you should probably rerate Wheel of Fortune iffy for ages 10-12.

One of my favorite tv shows.
Oh my gravy! Some people on the race are pure jerks, but there are many strong, well mannered role models. My only concern is the language; I stared watching this show when I was 10; and they've signifigantly (pardon my spelling) cut down on the swearing since. This show is great to "see" other places of the world. While the teams move quickly from task to task, there are still sometimes when I realize just how breathtaking some of these places are. This show is a winner for any kid who can handle a bit of swearing, and the possibility of their favorite team being eliminated.

Great Show 5 Stars
This is my fave show in the whole world! Swearing is an issue and contestants have challenges where they have to drink something alcoholic, but it is not very harmful. You may also like the Biggest Loser

The Best Show Ever!
I absolutely love this show. Most of the bad language is bleeped out. It has suspense that thrills you. There aren't always good role models (there was once two married men) but everyonce in a while we will end up with Christians (like the snowboarders last year!). I definitely recommend it.
