Hosted by China

While the Olympics are currently being played in China, this is not the first time reality has been filmed in China. Season 10 of "The Amazing Race" had racers visiting Beijing on their way to Mongolia. In season 12, teams went to Taipei.

Last year, both "America's Next Top Model" and "Survivor" visited China. ANTM's Cycle 9 showed several episodes set in China, including a photo shoot at the Great Wall and a challenge at movie studio in Shanghai where they had to strike fierce fighting poses while dangling on wires.

"Survivor: China" was completely set in China. The 15th season found the survivors on an island in China. A few of them even had a chance to visit the Great Wall as a reward challenge prize. While Peih-Gee was born in Hong Kong, Denise, who studies martial arts, was probably the most emotionally touched by the setting of the game.

China was once almost impossible for tourists to visit. In the past couple of decades, things have changed dramatically. And, isn't drama always an important ingredient of reality television?
