The track record of producers releasing reality shows on DVD is rather sketchy, and depends upon all kinds of factors, from sales to buzz. "The Apprentice's" distributor, Universal Studios, has just decided not to offer additional seasons. While some shows, such as "Project Runway," have all of their completed seasons available on DVD, others are more selective. "Survivor," for example, has released only six of its 15 seasons on DVD, and they weren't released in chronological order. Initially, no one thought to release full seasons of reality shows on DVD, instead choosing to provide highlight reels. But as watching serialized, scripted shows on DVD became more popular, producers got smart and started releasing full seasons of reality shows. If you want DVDs of a particular show, the best way to encourage studios to release one is to ask. Perhaps if enough people make the same request, they'll consider spending the money. In the meantime, keep your eye on TVShowsonDVD.com, the best resource for monitoring upcoming TV DVD releases — including reality shows. Q: Each team on “Amazing Race” is issued money at the start of a leg in U.S. dollars. Where do they get their money converted into the local currency?— Lora T., Houston Teams convert their money where everyone else does — at currency exchanges in the airports, at banks or at places such as hotels. Since this doesn't exactly make compelling television, we usually don’t see those transactions on TV. However, teams do need to be smart about changing money, both in terms of spending time and wasting money on fees or bad exchange rates. On the penultimate episode of "The Amazing Race 12," the decision to change money affected one team and resulted in some drama, so it was included as part of the episode. Nate and Jen decided to change money instead of wait in the immigration line, and while they did that, TK and Rachel passed them, getting in line first. We've seen a few similar scenes throughout the race's history. It's also worth noting that some countries readily accept U.S. currency, so exchanging their money might not always be necessary.
