Eleven teams of two people, each with a pre-existing relationship, set out on The Amazing Race around the world to compete for one million dollars. The series tracks the teams’ progress across the globe, chronicling dramatic conflicts and deepening friendships that develop between and within the teams throughout the gruelling competition. The first team to reach the final destination after a race around the world wins the million dollar prize.

The Amazing Race won the 2003 and 2004 Emmy Award for Best Reality Series. Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster (who co-created the series along with Elise Doganieri) and Jonathan Littman are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Films and Earthview Inc. in association with Touchstone Television and Amazing Race Productions. Past seasons of The Amazing Race have included pit stops in China, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, Philippines and New Zealand.
