'The Amazing Race' Host Rejects Fans' 'Worst' Idea, Teases Big Brother Crossover

Summary
- Longtime 'The Amazing Race' host Phil Keoghan dismisses fans' "worst" idea for the show
- Keoghan excited about upcoming season featuring only Big Brother contestants
- Fans' feedback helps shape challenges, but some ideas are not worth considering

According to Phil Keoghan, the longtime host of 'The Amazing Race', the show often receives feedback from fans with ideas that are simply not worth considering. In a recent interview, Keoghan admitted he has heard from viewers with the "worst" idea related to how they feel the show should format an upcoming season, and he is determined to shut it down.
While Keoghan acknowledges that some teams may have had a chance to make a reasonable run had they gotten their teamwork together earlier, he believes the teams who go home early are generally the ones who should. The teams that make it to the end, he says, are the ones who can face adversity and pull through despite challenges.
However, Keoghan is excited about an upcoming experiment for 'The Amazing Race' - a season featuring only contestants from the CBS reality show 'Big Brother'. He calls this crossover "an experiment" that he is eager to see play out on the small screen, and believes it may even bring a new demographic to his long-running series.
The 38th season of 'The Amazing Race' is set to premiere this fall, with a special Thursday night debut on September 25th, followed by subsequent episodes airing on Wednesdays after 'Survivor'. Keoghan remains confident that the show will continue to deliver an engaging and successful competition for viewers.
