The Amazing Race was a big winner at the 2011 Emmy Awards. Not only did the reality competition show reclaim its Emmy title from Top Chef, but it also remains only one of two shows to ever win the award.
“Outstanding Reality-Competition Program” first became its own category at the Emmy Awards in 2003. The Amazing Race took home the Emmy for seven consecutive years (2003-2009). Last year, Top Chef won the Emmy, beating out The Amazing Race for the first time. However, its fall from the top was very short-lived. This year, The Amazing Race won the Emmy for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program, its eighth Emmy win in this category.
The other 2011 nominees for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program at the Emmy Awards:
- American Idol
- Dancing with the Stars
- Project Runway
- So You Think You Can Dance
- The Amazing Race (winner)
- Top Chef
The Amazing Race has aired on CBS since 2001. On Sunday, September 25th at 8/7c, eleven new teams will embark on a new adventure of a lifetime.
