Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Carson Daly and Mark Burnett after The Voice was named winner of the Emmy for reality competition show for the third time in four years Sunday night.

Not of Amazing Race proportions yet, but Mark Burnett, Carson Daly and company and certainly working on it.

The Voice won the Emmy for best Reality TV Competition Series for the third time in four years Sunday night.

The show’s previous wins came in 2013 and 2015.

The Amazing Race won the award in 2014 and in nine of the first 10 years if was presented, beginning in 2003.

The only other winner during that time span: Top Chef. Which means The Voice is the only singing show to ever capture the honor.

American Idol wasn’t even nominated this year, despite a fabulous Season 15 finale. Idol was nominated every year from 2003 through 2011, but that also marked the show’s last nomination.

Other nominees this year were CBS’s The Amazing Race, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, Bravo’s Top Chef, NBC’s American Ninja Warrior and Lifetime’s Project Runway.

Season 11 of The Voice officially kicks off Monday night at 8 p.m. For a sneak peek at some of the contestants we’ll be meeting, head here.
