We started about three years before YouTube existed, so we had to host all the videos on our own servers at a co-location facility.

We started on April 1, 2003. So long ago, you couldn't watch video in a web browser; you had to watch it in a different player, like in Quicktime player or something like that.

I feel like we always kept our core philosophy of making content that we would wanna watch, and there's definitely a different scale we are offering that at today.

'The Amazing Race' has always been the gold standard of reality television to me. It's smart, it's funny, and it's entertaining as hell.
