Synopsis:
THE AMAZING RACE is a new reality-adventure series hosted
by Phil Keoghan -- pitting 11 teams against each other in a worldwide,
30 to 40-day journey through diverse cities and countries spanning
the globe.
The first team to reach the final destination will be rewarded
with $1 million.
Each team, comprised of two people who have a preexisting relationship,
will compete at every destination in mental and physical challenges.
Only when each task is completed will they learn their next destination.
The couples farthest behind will gradually be eliminated.
The teams will be filmed nonstop, chronicling their journey as
well as the conflicts and deepening relationships that may develop
through the competition. Each team will have to rely on wit and
ingenuity to conserve limited funds.
Plane travel will be restricted, and the contestants will have
to use alternate means of transportation such as buses, trains,
boats, taxis, bicycles and even camels.
