What Song

At the end when Rob and Brennan are racing to the finish line, what is the song that is played? It sounds like the theme of Russell Crowes Gladiator but i'm not sure

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. See The Amazing Race (disambiguation) which already seems to have a pretty good way to distinguish the series that were broadcast in different countries. I confess that I couldn't follow the reasoning of the proponent, User:ApprenticeFan. He cites Talk:America's Next Top Model (cycle 1)#Requested move but that was only a minor change in the style of the names and it's unclear why it would be a precedent for this proposal. In the first paragraph of WP:TVSEASON there is a special mention of The Amazing Race 8 as a suitable name for a program cycle. EdJohnston (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

– Similar move proposal decision to what had it done to Talk:America's Next Top Model (cycle 1)#Requested move per WP:TV-NAME. Seasons 8, 11 and 18 are still keeping their names while retaining their individual names (Family Edition, All-Stars and Unfinished Business). ApprenticeFan work 01:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Support I've been meaning to propose this... These are very ambiguous and not the name of the show itself. Appending numbers could be an easier way to type but it implies the show is actually called "The Amazing Race 2". (The "2" could mean anything...) The different Idol series used to be called by the different years but they were moved as well. It's also going to keep the international versions' articles consistent and tidier The Amazing Race 1 (Latin America) -> The Amazing Race (Latin America season 1); The Amazing Race Vietnam 2013 -> The Amazing Race Vietnam (season 2) Kartoffel 07 16:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - It appears that the current title nomenclature for these articles is consistent with usage in reliable sources, like CBS News [1]. Why change? --B2C 00:06, 10 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - These are the official names of the television show, and they are named as such because they are the original version of the show. Changing all these names will make things incredibly complex and, to be honest, quite pointless. Only the French and Latin American versions of the show have conflicting names, but these are secondary, international versions that were modeled after the original American version of the show. As such, these names should remain the way they are. Why should the 22nd season be labelled specifically as being part of the American version when no other version has anywhere close to 22 seasons. Also, the proposer seems to be under the impression that we are arbitrarily adding the numbers to the end of each page. However, the show is ACTUALLY called "The Amazing Race 22", and shows up as such in TV guides. This move is pointless and should not occur. 174.1.50.249 (talk) 06:27, 12 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - Since seasons 8, 11 and 18 are officially given Family Edition, All-Stars and Unfinished Business as an individual names. For example, cycles 17-20 of America's Next Top Model uses All-Stars, British Invasion, College Edition and Guys & Girls are official given names and still use "cycle" in some sources. But season 8 is suggesting rename the article move (The Amazing Race 8 to Template:Noredirect), which is an official name, including some sources such as Google with 46.4 hits. While season 11 consider on renaming The Amazing Race 11 to Template:Noredirect, though has 87.4 Ghits as well. The "Unfinished Business" season is a less commonly used in some sources, but only a fewer 207,000 hits. In addition, the only season of The Amazing Race Philippines, one Filipino editor had moved on to follow with season articles for any obvious naming standards in WP:NC-TV. [2], this were did in November 1 and 2, 2012: (Changing article title to conform with Wikipedia standards.), (WP:Naming_conventions_(television)#Season_articles trumps any other capricious reasons; this naming convention should be followed in other TAR-related articles) ApprenticeFan work 05:36, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Well, that's not at all what you have listed above. You clearly have written out "The Amazing Race 8 → The Amazing Race (U.S. season 8)". Now I'm just confused my your proposal. Are you going to rename ALL of them or just the three with extra names? I'm all for renaming 8, 11 and 18, but not for adding the arbitrary (U.S. season #) to the end. 174.1.50.249 (talk) 20:09, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
The official names are not terribly relevant anyway, according to article naming policy, which of course is what all arguments here should be refer to, and which by implication all contibutors should read before discussing RMs. Andrewa (talk) 21:34, 16 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
