A couple of weeks ago most of our TV shows that we watch while eating dinner took breaks we were left with an opportunity to watch a season of The Amazing Race. I signed up for a month of CBS All-Access (which is currently $5.99) to go ahead and watch Season 27 of The Amazing Race. The one downside to using this service apposed to just buying the season on iTunes is that it is jam packed full of commercials that you cannot skip. Making matters worse similar to most online services it repeats the same ads over and over and over again. 

We cut the cord around a year ago. This means is that we watch a lot less network TV (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) then we used to and watch more of what's on stuff like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. One of the things we miss the most about having cable is watching shows like The Amazing Race and Top Chef. Well luckily we were able to get The Amazing Race Season 26 (the latest season). We started from the first episode and everyday during dinner would work our way through the season.

Last season I was successful in picking the winning team of Season 23 of The Amazing Race. Season 24 of The Amazing Race was an All-Stars edition which meant racers from past seasons got a chance to come back and try to do better then the last time they were on the race. 

Jenn and I have watched around a dozen seasons of The Amazing Race. At the very beginning of the first episode of a season we pick our teams who we are going to root for. The competition between Jenn and I really heated up when Jenn won in Season 9 with the hippies, and has continued to this latest season, 23. 

Last year many of you may remember that I created a slew of TV Blogs which I ended up selling during the writers strike. Selling them was a tough but necessary decision at the time and since then my TV watching has actually become enjoyable again. When you are doing something for work like reviewing TV shows, it does take some of the fun away from it, so now that I am not working on any TV Blogs it kind of feels like everything is back to normal.
