Host Phil Keoghan teased what’s to come by saying, “We’re really going back to grassroots Amazing Race this season. We are bringing back things from Season 1. I live tweet the Race every week and can see what the fans are saying. We really listen to fans. We saw what they were saying they wanted more of and that’s what we are bringing this season.”
These teams will compete in The Amazing Race that sends them traveling around the world. Everywhere the teams go they will have to compete in challenges that will test them physically and mentally. If they have what it takes, they could be the final team standing and take home the $1 million grand prize.
