EMMYS

FINAL ELIMINATION ROUND: At last, a real competition between reality competition shows. Last year, the “reality competition program” category was so new, the nominees included a Bob Hope tribute and an AFI special on “America’s Greatest Love Stories.” This year, in the midst of a reality show boom, the category is chock-full of contestants looking to take one another out. “The Amazing Race” outlasted fellow CBS entry “Survivor” and Fox’s “American Idol” last year. But can it take on NBC’s two entries, “The Apprentice” and “Last Comic Standing”? Or will it be, “Sorry ... you’ve been eliminated”?
