Please, someone help me understand the logic in this move. GSN (formerly the Game Show Network) has just picked up the rights to rebroadcast all past episodes of The Amazing Race, while Comcast's Outdoor Life Network has picked up all ten seasons of Survivor. Does anyone really want to watch reruns of these shows, especially when the outcome is rather well known? I thought the ability to own the DVDs of these shows was already enough.GSN and Outdoor Life Network pick up reality reruns

Even weirder (I think), is the channel I happened by on my DirecTV yesterday: Fox Reality (http://www.foxreality.com/), where you can check out all your favorite episodes of all the reality shows you've never heard of, plus COPS and The Bachelor thrown in for good measure.

While I have no interest in rewatching Survivor, I would watch reruns of The Amazing Race... primarily because it is my favorite reality show and I have only seen season 1 and the last 3 seasons. I missed 3 or 4 in between and don't know who won.
You can't buy past seasons of The Amazing Race on DVD yet so it doesn't bother me at all that GSN is going to put it on.

Any idea when they will start airing the shows? I would love to watch The Amazing Race again. I don't care about who wins, it is just fun to see all the locations around the world that they go to.
