Although in all published TV books, newspapers and the like, the
Amazing Race is printed as to air in 8-9pm on Sundays, but in reality,
CBS always delays it about 15-30 minutes, to the actual airing time at
about 8:15-8:30pm. Do you have issues with that? I can’t stand it any
more and I have decided not to watch it again. I have not influence
but I can at least save the 1-hour extra time on something else.

If you are not going to watch it anymore, then the problem seems
like it has been solved. No need to bother the rest of us with
your past issues.

No. I haven't wasted any time watching it. Or any of the "survivor" shows.
Just hop over to the Weather Channel, Weather Plus, QVC, or other alternate
drivel for the first 30 minutes. Or perhaps the first 50 minutes; the last
10 is about all that will matter.

Why is it that these days, the words "What idiot" are so frequently
followed by the words "at Microsoft"?

Haven't watched any reality shows except Trump's "Apprentice" for a
couple of seasons, and then more so I could get a feel for Trump's
thought processes than the storyline. The shows aren't reality and
are more about lessons in petty backbiting than educational.
Anyway, the problem is easily resolved with tivo, or even a $5 used
VCR and a salvaged tape. Watch when you want, skip the commercials.

I just discovered a downside of the PVR: as we caught up with
recently recorded shows over the last few days, we were subjected to
bits of pre-election campaign comercials that we thought we were done
with. (Yeah we can skip the commercials, but the campaing ads were
almost continuous there at the end and it's hard to avoid seeing a
little snip of them before you hit the skip button or when the skip
interval ends just before the real show starts.) Bleah! Like
recurring nightmares.
