The Amazing Race (TAR) is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and
Bertram van Munster created it in 2001 and since then it has won many awards. In the
show, teams travel around the world to different places. They try to arrive first, or at
least not come last and they also try to win prizes on their journey.
Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two people in
each team and they must know each other before they come on the game. For example,
they can be husband and wife, parents and children, friends, etc. They have to travel to
different countries and work together on the journey. The teams get some money at the
beginning of the race and they use it to buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes,
trains, bikes or even skis to travel.
The teams explore places they’ve never been to before and have games or
‘challenges’. These challenges have some connection to the country they are in and can
be things like riding a camel, solving puzzles or eating a lot of food, for example. The
teams often have to face extreme weather conditions during their journey. Many times
they are outside in the rain or snow or in storms and get cold and wet. It’s all part of the
experience, though.
Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The
first team to get to the last city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game
and the teams become really stressed, but it’s an amazing experience.

Whether they’re cheering in the stadium, yelling at the referee from the sofa, or
singing thier team’s victory song, sports fans exist all over the world. The long-term
attchment to a particular sport or team appears to develop around the age of eight or
nine, and the sport or team a person decides to follow is largely influenced by their
social circle rather than their personal participation in a sport. Research into the
psychology of sports fans has revealed some common principles that apply to the
behaviour of most fans.
Have you ever heard a sports fan boasting, ‘We thrashed the other team today!’ or
‘We are top of the league at the moment’? Clearly the fan was not personally involved
in achieving either success, yet they use the pronoun ‘we’ to report their team’s
performance. Fans’ use of ‘us’ and ‘we’ to talk about their favourite team is common
behaviour. It demonstrates the strong sense of identity fans feel great and enjoy
experiencing the victory as if they had played a part in the success themselves.
The opposite of this often happens after a team suffers a defeat. Fans in this case
may refer to the team as ‘they’ in order to distance themselves from their team’s
disappointing match result. A dissatisfied fan is more likely to say ‘they played really
badly’ as they want no responsibility for the depressing final score. Furthermore, they
will be unlikely to wear any clothing that pinpoints them as a supporter after losing to a
rival team. However, research shows that this is not the case with fiercely loyal or
‘true’ fans. They will carry on wearing their team scarf even when their team performs
badly and will say with genuine sadness, ‘they beat US three nil’.
Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, is the way in which sports fans swear by
their superstitions or lucky charms. Wearing a certain item of clothing or carrying a
lucky object is common practice of many. People who may not be superstitious in other
aspect of their life will claim that wearing a certain item of lucky clothing will make
their team play better. Equally, an action performed while the team lost will be
considered bad luck and will be avoided in future for fear of jinxing the team. Of
course in reality it makes no difference what kind of hat you wear or whether you have
your lucky coin, but superstitions are taken very seriously by sports fans and I for one
would not like to try and persuade them otherwise.
