The seven remaining teams drive from the Pit Stop at the Church of Massiges in Verdun, France to Reims, where confusion over who Joan of Arc is strikes multiple racers. An assumption about where a champagne maker will be sends a team to the wrong city, while others correctly get to Eperney the first time to complete a Roadblock at Leclerc Briant.

The Amazing Race 15: The newest journey begins on September 27, 2009. Teams for this season include a pair of Harlem Globetrotters and a fan of the program who has Asperger's Syndrome. Teams will face many obstacles along the way, including stops at nearly a half dozen locations never before seen… More on the race and the Switchback-- a new race mechanism that allows one team to force another to turn back and redo the leg's Roadblock. The Amazing Race 14: The newest Amazing Race adventure has come and gone! The new season began on February 15, 2009, with the racers facing a challenging adventure with stops in Central Siberia and Beijing. The entire look and feel of the race was updated for the new edition and viewers were also given a more fast-paced and exciting race with, among other things, less time spent on airport drama. Teams this season include a pair of movie stuntmen, two self-described hillbillies and a mother and son team featuring the race's first ever deaf contestant. Overall, this season was well-regarded by fans, featuring a mixture of interesting and likeable teams as well as some great dramatic moments. Some, however, lamented the lack of diversity of locations, as well as race planning that seemed to favor one particular team. Congrulations to Tammy and Victor, winners of this season of the race. Watch for the fifteenth season, coming in the fall! The Amazing Race 13: This season of The Amazing Race came to CBS on September 28, 2008 and ended on December 7. This season saw a wide-ranging adventure with visits to such diverse locales as Kazakhstan and Cambodia. Reaction to this season was once again mixed, as were ratings. Congratulations to Nick and Starr, winners of this season of the race. The Amazing Race 12: This adventure began on November 4, 2007 and ended in January 2008! CBS officially announced the return at the same time as the announcement of the cancellation of Viva Laughlin , giving viewers less than two weeks notice before the start of the new season. This season was lauded by both critics and viewers, becoming a new favorite for many. Congratulations to TK and Rachel, the winners of the twelfth season! The Amazing Race 11: All Stars --- The first-ever All-Star edition for The Amazing Race has ended. This season featured eleven teams who raced on previous seasons of the program. As these teams raced around the world once more, they found themselves facing all-new challenges. This season had its share of surprises, but was met with mixed reviews by fans. Some were disappointed with the uneven structure of the race, as well as challenges that in many cases were considered poorly planned. Others, however, were entertained both by seeing the development of new dynamics when it came to past racers and the flaring of rivalry and drama between teams. Congratulations to Eric and Danielle, winners of The Amazing Race: All-Stars.

This week, the race continues in the sixth leg, and previews indicate a lot of problems at a champaigne-related task for Brent & Catie. Which team will not make the Final Six, and who will come out on top this week?
I basically saw this over on the Pokemon forums and I thought itwould work on TAR as well. Simply, type ANY comment about any episode of any season, and then the next person will come along and write agree or disagree and then post a comment of their own. For example, someone might write: … More Reichen & Chip deserved to win TAR4 and the next person will come along and either write 'Agree' or 'Disagree' and if they want to, they can explain why they chose that. Then, they will post a comment of their own. I will post the first comment: Flo & Zach would not have won TAR3 if the Road Block rule existed in their season.
Pretty simple concept. Post a what-if scenario, anyone can jump in and reply, and whoever answers the what-if has to post the next "what if" scenario Here's the first question: What if Uchenna and Joyce had made their connecting flight and had not been eliminated in the All-Stars
This show never get's old, and I hope it continues for a long time hide show
I've been following this show since about season 4 and every season is just fantastic. These racers get a once in a live time opportunity to travel all around the globe with their partner. I like following and seeing how the relationship between the pair's grow and change throughout the season and all the different challenges are very fun to watch. This is clearly one of the best reality shows on TV because it actually does a great job of focusing on the competition, and not just on cheap fights or arguments between the contestants. Finally, this show actually brings people together and strengthens relationships rather than breaks them apart, because the teams get to share a life changing experience together. An overall very fantastic show.
An excellent reality-competition show that has proven many times why it's one of the best. There's no fan or competitor voting, no subjective panel of judges, and definitely no rose ceremonies. Just relationships, adventure and of course, $1 million. hide show
I first stumbled across this series back in season 3. I was channel surfing and three things about this series caught my attention: the sense of adventure (they were rockclimbing in foreign lands and just travelling), the amazing relationships/teammates that some people had, and Flo's crying/whining about she couldn't do anything remotely scary.
The people is 100% the biggest part of the show. The relationships/friendships is what makes it great. Watching people be encouraging, loving, and crazy, while also cheering and bickering makes it extremely interesting. There's been those we love, those we hate, those who are so disgusting but we just can't look away! It is just an incredible sight.
Now the format also helps. The clumping of teams can arguably be good or bad, but I think it's kinda good sometimes. It's what adds the tension to the show when all of them are seconds away from each other, leading to so many heart thumping moments towards pit stops and finish lines. I love when clues need to be deciphered (rather than handed on a platter) and I also love the roadblocks and detours that involve cultural relevances (although, there have been some questionable ones).
I am extremely happy about speed bumps (versus no penalty, or loss of clothing and money). Too bad it was only recently implemented, but better late than never. I do miss the Fast Forwards on every leg because it meant for more dramatic turns, I mean the last place team could surge to the front! But it's understandable why it wasn't cost effective. I don't miss u-turns, yields, and intersections... but that's probably just me.
Now the show isn't without it's flaws. Like one particular season *cough* family edition *cough*. Another flaw is some of the surprises on the show. I am all for the extended legs of race, but I hate the surprise eliminations (poor Bilal & Sa'eed). Also, I just don't need anymore models, pageant queens and people who seem to be on every reality show. There were some seasons where the people were mostly from California (some of whom I think knew each other beforehand).
All and all, I still love this show. You get to see so many different cultures and places, relationships at their best and worst, all the while experiencing the thrill of the race.
It's a show that delivers what it promises. hide show
The premise is simple. A set number of teams, usually couples/pairs (with the exception of the family season) of people with a pre-existing relationship are set on a race around the world. Each leg of the race brings the teams that much closer to the final prize of US$1,000,000.
I've seen some reviewers being outraged by the unfairness of a previous winning couple (brother/sister of Chinese descent) being given the opportunity to race the last leg in a country where they not only spoke the language, but in an area with which they were familiar. This is not the first time this has happened - we've had examples of Japanese-speaking contestants, and MANY examples of teams gaining an advantage in Spanish-speaking countries. This, I feel, is some of what is at the core of the show.
Different teams have different skills. If it were me, I'd always choose the linguistical challenge over any other, while someone else might be a computer-wizz, or a weightlifter, or a wrestler... The varying skills of the team members is what makes the show interesting. It is impossible to not give "unfair" advantages to some teams - because the very nature of the show allows for such talents to shine through.
I love this show, and have watched it religiously since the first series aired on Swedish television. It is exciting, entertaining, funny, and interesting. If you don't think the show is entertaining - tune into something else. If you haven't seen it - give it a chance. If you're anything like me, you'll both shout at the teams for being stupid and cheer with them when they win.
phil u rock!! still remember him from shazam back in nz!! hide show
was so glad mum and deaf son did not win, he is a spoilt dick, and she is his enabler. when things didnt go his way he threw a massive tantrum, and then they try to palm it off as he's upset about being deaf! what a joke!! wheather or not he can or cant hear the guys a jerk! yes the chinese kids had an advantage, but it was random that they were still in it once they got to china, other teams did use their advantage and followed them. In the end it came down to who had a better memory, not language!!
A very unfair season. hide show
I felt that season was so unfair I couldn't stand to watch the last few episodes. I can't believe the producers allowed the Chinese sister and brother to participate knowing that they not only could speak the language fluently but had been to those very same cities in China on several occasions. What a totally unfair advantage. I would think there would be some kind of screening involved when choosing contestants that would make it fair for everyone. I am really upset that this was allowed to happen. I doubt that I will ever watch the show again. I hope the winner donate the money to a good cause because they obviously don't need it.
