22. The Amazing Race
tarflies.com
Launch Date April 2003
What You'll Find Incisive show analysis, hard-core strategy confabs, endless forums, and details on TAR viewing parties. Heck, there's even Race-inspired song parodies (think: an ode to the accursed Family Edition's Weaver clan sung to the Addams Family theme). These fans of CBS' 10-time-Emmy winner might as well get frequent-flier miles for how closely they follow this show.
Why It's Essential Past Racers like season 4's air-traffic controllers Steve and Dave post regularly for a reason: The Tarflies know every Race Roadblock, Detour, and U-Turn, and dissect each episode like sports junkies critiquing the Super Bowl. You'll find very little snark here (rare in a reality show fansite), just pure enthusiasm for the series...and a little lust for host Phil Keoghan's raised eyebrow.

Detailed rundowns of each episode, along with Keoghan's video diary, and ''Elimination Station,'' a weekly peek into the sequestered life of the growing group of losers. — Josh Wolk
