The Amazing Race is my favorite reality show on TV...and I must not be the only one--the show just won it's third Emmy for "Best Reality Show." Imagine my excitement last April when I thought I heard rumors of "The Amazing Race" coming to Huntsville! I was at the annual
Great Moonbuggy Raceat the
U.S. Space & Rocket Center(USSRC) and happened upon a conversation between Al Whitaker, Media & Public Relationships Manager, and a couple NASA employees. I thought I heard the words "Amazing Race"--but when I questioned Al, he vehemently denied my eavesdropping skills.
When "The Amazing Race" comes to a town, everything is hush-hush, $10 million confidentiality clauses are signed, everyone locally connected to the event is sworn to secrecy, and, in the case of Huntsville, they come in the middle of the night and leave quickly the next day. Episode 3 featuring Huntsville and the USSRC will air on CBS on October 11, 2005.
