The Amazing Race is a TV show that appears on CBS every Friday in September and February, at 8/7 Central. The Amazing Race begins with eleven teams of two (sometimes, a season will have a theme - in the past, there have been blind dates, social media stars, and plenty of other unique concepts!), racing all around the world for one million dollars. The eleven teams racing around the world collect clues and complete challenges that are relevant to the country that they are in.
First, the teams begin in the U.S. They travel to several different continents, never including Antarctica. At the beginning of each leg of the race, each team is given a clue that tells them which country or city they’re going to visit next. After catching the soonest plane to the given destination, they are given more clues that lead them through that leg, and so on. The clues may tell them where they’re going next, or may tell them they must complete a challenge. Sometimes, there is a choice between more than one challenge, allowing competitors to choose the one with which they're more comfortable. The challenges are always specific to each country, and help the contestants get an understanding of its culture, while still being extremely varied: some are easier for more adventurous people or daredevils, like bungee jumping, while others are activities that most people would consider gross, such as mud swimming. The last team to complete the challenges of each leg is eliminated.
This show gives teams the opportunity to experience something very different and go on a crazy adventure. There are also limitless opportunities to learn about the whole world. It tests the mental and physical strength of the participants, and their relationships with their partners. The Amazing Race is also entertaining to the viewers; when they watch average people traveling all around the world completing these challenges, they themselves may feel motivated to get off their couches and take risks - and it also has a blend of drama when the teams get in arguments or when teams plot against each other, which can be very entertaining. Viewers can vote for their favorite teams, see their favorite cities, and experience the relationships between the groups and partners.
Overall, The Amazing Race is a wonderful opportunity for Americans to get out and experience cultures, landmarks, and once-in-a-lifetime activities. This show is also educational, inspirational, and entertaining for the viewers. This show earns five stars.
Stay tuned for season 28 of The Amazing Race, which airs on February 12th, 2016 at 8/7 central on CBS! This season, social media stars will be competing for the million dollar prize!
