I’m not really fond of corporate or commercial blogs, most of which contain nothing but forgettable fluff written by marketing teams. But Phil’s Amazing Race blog at CBS.com at least sounds like it’s really written by Phil during the show’s production process, and is worth a read, since it provides cool insights into how the show is produced.
Highlights of the first entry:
– Phil doesn’t get the “star treatment.” Apparently he packs and handles his own luggage.
– Production often makes odd demands of the host — like having to wash your hair in cold water on the side of the road before shooting those “We’re in Sao Paulo, Brazil” sequences.
– Who has the lightest packs. (I figured the backpacks were issued by the show; they aren’t.)
– Which team was carrying and lost “god luck tiaras” (an event that, apparently, has been lost to later editing).
