'Idol' ain't so 'Amazing'...again...

For the sixth year in a row, American Idol could not overtake The Amazing Race, which accepted its now traditional award for the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program category at the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which aired on ABC. The CBS stalwart, which averages 10 million viewers per season, has now proved time and time again that it is the only reality program liked by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

In a more surprising upset, Survivor's Jeff Probst outwitted, outplayed and outlasted Ryan Seacrest in the inaugural Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program category. Ryan had widely been considered one of the top contenders for the award, but who really wanted him to win it anyway? IDOL LIVE congratulates Probst on keeping another shiny piece of gold off Ryan's mantle.

And although it is not really Idol-related, we would like to give Josh Groban props for his amazing tribute to television theme songs. Watch it below:



Looks like there's always next year for Idol and Ryan...again....But at least he got to host for the second year in a row (although it only comes out to hosting the show 1 & 1/5 times, but who's counting?)

P.S. Josh did perform at Idol Gives Back during Season 6, so there's a six degrees reason for including him in this post for you.
