I have some good news and some great news.
The good news is that Relative Race will be back for its 11th season on BYUtv on March 26th. The great news is that Dan Debenham will be back as the host.
Debenham announced at the beginning of season 10 that he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer and had just finished his chemo treatment. Since then, we haven’t gotten an update on his health.
But that changed yesterday when they announced the new season. I asked how he was doing, and they told me, “He is feeling well and is in great spirits! He and his family appreciate the support and prayers.” Then they added, “Dan is thrilled to be back!”
And we are thrilled to have him back. He is the heart of the best reality show on television. If you are not watching the show that literally brings families together, then you are missing out on the show that makes you cry happy tears every week. That is because four teams of two get to meet family members they have never met before, thanks to DNA tests proving they are related. So there have been adopted people who meet their birth parents for the first time. If that doesn’t turn you into a blubbering mess, nothing will.
