The Amazing Race has been renewed for a 5th go round. Like other bloggers I too am a big fan of this show. I can't really explain why, since I have no patience for any of the other network reality programs. Spouse and I joked all during the last one of the liability that the producers must shoulder for putting this on. I mean in one instance two of the teams almost ended up in North Korea by mistake. So, I find out that they're seeking applicants for the next race. I go to CBS and look at the application not because I want to do this but wondering about the "assumption of the risk," and any other implied contracts that could arise from this document. How sad am I? Take a look yourself (it's in pdf format) at the application rules and procedures. I'm not even going to hazard what the viability of a suit would be arising from death or dismemberment due to a horrible bungee jumping accident. They always bungee jump. I guess if you get into this you aren't thinking about liability.
