The Amazing Race is an Underdog
Despite winning Outstanding Reality Competition Program nine times throughout the years, The Amazing Race is an underdog in the category this year.
The show hasn’t won the accolade since 2012, indicating Emmy voters prefer fresher formats over veteran nominees.
However, its consistent nominations and strong track record at the Primetime Emmys are proof of its popularity and respect among the Television Academy.
As it has been thirteen years since the show won the accolade, many might believe it is long overdue for the award, as they might vote in favor of it due to its outstanding cinematography and character-driven, fast-paced format.
The Traitors is Tipped to Win
BEO Betting odds indicate The Traitors is most likely to win Outstanding Reality Competition Program at the Primetime Emmy Awards 2025.
It is the reigning winner of the award, having put a stop to RuPaul’s Drag Race winning streak in 2024.
Audiences worldwide have fallen in love with the US version of the show, which offers a unique blend of drama, strategy, and psychology.
Due to the show’s huge ratings, fresh format, stunning production, and critical acclaim, The Traitors is likely to earn its second consecutive win in the category. Yet, other veteran shows in the category have the potential to stop it.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Could Bounce Back
The Amazing Race may have received the most Outstanding Reality Competition Awards over the years, but RuPaul’s Drag Race is close behind with five wins and nine nominations.
The show, which follows the search for America’s next drag superstar, dominated the category for several years from 2018, winning the award over four consecutive years until its winning streak was broken by Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls in 2022.
However, RuPaul’s Drag Race bounced back a year later, winning the award in 2023, proving it can surprise at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
This could provide fans of the show with confidence ahead of the ceremony, as it could recover from its loss against The Traitors in 2024.
Of course, another veteran nominee could surprise by winning the award, such as Top Chef, which won in 2012, or Survivor, which has received eight nominations but has never won the accolade.
