Summary

How would you like to race around the world for a million dollars? With your roommate, cousin, or ex-spouse maybe? That's the idea behind The Amazing Race, CBS's hit reality show in which twelve teams of two compete in a global footrace so wild it would make Jules Verne's head spin. Along the way the teams must manage rocky mountains, spooky shipwrecks, and strange foreign cultures (not to mention each other) before one team crosses the finish line and walks away with the million dollar prize.
