Question

I think "Amazing Race" should pay more money? What a shame. Fear factor gives away 50 grand + sometimes 20,000USD x 2 bikes or something in one day. But Amazing race gives away 1 million which I see very bad. What are your opinions?

Answer 1

I agree with the 1st poster in that the 2nd and 3rd place people should win something also. They ran a good race as well.

Answer 2

They have prizes for coming in first every week, so a strong team can really get a lot of stuff from Amazing Race. The teams all get to travel to some great places in the world, and experience a little of each place they go. Part of the show's appeal is that just the winning team gets the grand prize. It makes the teams work harder to stay in the race.

Answer 3

It's not so much a 'Legal' loophole, what tax lawyers and tax dodgers are doing are inventing ways of not paying tax by playing the system, by the time the revenue discover what they are doing and close the loophole, which could take years, they are already on the next tax dodge and the one after that and the one after that. All the government has to do is is pass a law stating that anyone earning over a certain amount must pay 20% tax no matter what or go straight to jail. That would stop these fiddlers getting away with paying 1% tax or less. then we can start targeting the other 25% they owe.

Answer 4

They also give away alot of other prizes for coming in first at each leg and then don't forget all the travelling, not just for the contestants but for the camera crews too.

Answer 5

they give cash prizes for all the teams that participated, the amount depending on their placing, i read it on the net try searching amazing race

Answer 6

i think there whould be a 2nd and 3rd prize, those people made it to the end they deserve something.....well except for those nasty blondes, just kidding
