ONE CAN ONLY PRAY FOR A RETURN OF 'GUIDOS ON ICE': Tonight marks the final episode of The Amazing Race 5, the best reality show on television:
Sunday, the TV academy chose, once again, to reward the reality show that, wire-to-wire, thrusts its contestants into more real-world experiences than anything else on television. This is not Trump hogging the spotlight in the boardroom. This is not a bunch of bored twenty-somethings locked in a faux house, carping at each other (hello, 'Big Brother'). It doesn't have a tribal council or a snarky Simon Cowell to call out its failures. Nobody's pulling out engagement rings or handing out roses. It's not the classic example of popular reality TV.

Instead, this show puts its contestants in direct contact with people from all different cultures, in all manner of environments, and then just lets them go. There's no way to stage-manage what comes out.

Express your hopes, your fears, your thoughts and, oh yes, your predictions, right here.
