Slightly OT: Amazing Race at the Emmys

<< < (2/2)

Matt Ottinger:

--- Quote ---What's interesting is that there's nothing on the application or rules about appearances on other shows. I assume that CBS follows the one-show-in-a-year/two-in-the-last-five-years rule that NBC uses (whether they be game or other contest shows).
--- End quote ---
Seems to me that if you're casting for an ongoing reality show, it's in your best interest to have as few arbitrary rules as possible.  Cover the basic eligibility issues (they can't work for CBS or Bruckheimer, for example) but allow yourself the opportunity to choose whomever you want.  

Seems if someone was a Survivor or even a Big Brother housemate, or heck, even a former Jeopardy champ, CBS might want to consider what the extra publicity would be worth rather than just dismiss them out of hand because of some sixties-throwback concern over the illusion of fairness.

ChrisLambert!:
The story going around was that they indeed wanted Big Brother 2's Mike \"Boogie\" and Krista to appear on Amazing Race 3. Fortunately for us (and for the longterm image of TAR), the couple was well on their way to a breakup and couldn't do the show.

Little Big Brother:
I was over at the TV Clubhouse (BB Finale Countdown 3 hours, 10 minutes BTW), and came across this link which confirms that AR has a green light for 2004
