The Amazing Race has much more raw footage to work with, and they produce much more seamless episodes. Sure, it's basically the same formula over and over, but the editing demands on a show like that must be enormous. I like Survivor more as a show, but from an editing standpoint I think the Amazing Race is about as good as it gets. I think they deserve every single one of their Emmys.
In terms of editing and storytelling, I think Survivor has basically just been "going through the motions" since about season five.
Agreed. I don't ever get quite as involved into survivor as I do with AR .... It's the editing and the fact that you are relying on more than just people's personalities. It's dealing with other cultures, places, etc.
