Network: CBS
Premiere: Sunday, September 13, 8pm
Cast: Phil Keoghan (host)
Premise: Several teams of two race around the world against each other, in order to claim the grand prize of $1 million.
The Amazing Race is, by far, the coolest reality competition out there. After all, you can't really compare a singing competition or a boardroom with Trump to a race around the world. Each season, I just can't seem to figure out how the production team comes up with the locations, the tasks, or the travel arrangements.
The Amazing Race shows me parts of the world I would never visit, or never think to visit, and lets me live vicariously through their adventurous contestants.
From yields to u-turns to pit stops,
The Amazing Race has redefined how we think of everyday road signs. The show has provided us with extremely diverse casts from gay couples to goth queens. After 12 seasons, the 13 episodes premiering this fall, and casting already underway for the 14th season, it seems that
The Amazing Race can't be stopped. Though I don't want to give anything away about the upcoming season, I can tell you that the contestants will visit at least four different continents and teams will range in age from their 20s to their 60s.
The Amazing Race educates us about countries and cultures in a totally entertaining way and learning has never been more fun!
Will you watch the new season of The Amazing Race?
