Last September, The Amazing Race continued its Annual Primetime Emmy Awards dominance when it captured the Outstanding Reality-competition Program award for the sixth year in a row -- making it the only show to win the award since the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences first created the category in 2002.
The win raised The Amazing Race's Emmy award total to 11 since it was first eligible in 2002, however it represented the only win out of the six nominations the show had received for last year's awards. Overall, The Amazing Race has received 26 nominations since it premiered in 2001.
In addition to The Amazing Race's fifteenth-season debut, CBS also announced Survivor: Samoa -- the nineteenth season of the long-running reality series -- will premiere on Thursday, September 17 at 8PM ET/PT.
