Production
Development and filming
After the anemic ratings for The Amazing Race 4, CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves doubted whether the series would be renewed for another season. After much deliberation, CBS officially ordered a fifth installment of the Race in September 2003. Some observers cited the series' recent Emmy win as the factor behind its renewal. While CBS flirted with the idea of a fall premiere, it ultimately gave Season 5 a summer broadcast to create momentum for The Amazing Race 6 on the fall schedule.
The Amazing Race is a reality televisiongame show in which teams of two people race around the world in competition with other teams. Contestants strive to arrive first at "Pit Stops" at the end of each leg of the race to win prizes and to avoid coming in last, which carries the possibility of elimination or a significant disadvantage in the following leg. Contestants travel to and within multiple countries in a variety of transportation modes, including airplanes, hot air balloons, helicopters, trucks, bicycles, taxicabs, cars, trains, buses, boats, and by foot. Clues provided in each leg lead the teams to the next destination or direct them to perform a task, either together or by a single member. These challenges are related in some manner to the country wherein they are located or its culture. Teams are progressively eliminated until three are left; at that point, the team that arrives first in the final leg is awarded the grand prize.
On 17 October 2005, CBS gave other countries the chance to franchise The Amazing Race. The Asian cable TV network AXN Asia was among the first to acquire the rights to produce a version for its territories. The show is produced by Australian television production company ActiveTV, for AXN, in association with Buena Vista International Television-Asia Pacific (BVITV-AP). The host for the show is Singapore based Chinese-American actor Allan Wu.
The ultimate prize is US$100,000, whilst the American show gives away US$1,000,000. The general manager of SPE Networks-Asia which runs AXN, Ricky Ow explained the smaller prize, saying, "It is not really about the money but the adventure and opportunity to be in one of the world's greatest reality shows".
The Race
The Amazing Race Asia is a reality television competition between ten teams of two in a race around the world. The race is divided into a number of legs wherein teams travel and complete various tasks to obtain clues to help them progress to a Pit Stop where they are given a chance to rest and recover before starting the next leg twelve hours later. The first team to arrive at a Pit Stop is often awarded a prize while the last team is normally eliminated from the race (except in non-elimination legs, where the last team to arrive may be penalised in the following leg). The final leg of each race is run by the last three remaining teams, and the first to arrive at the final destination wins the US$100,000 cash prize.
The Amazing Race 1 (originally broadcast under the name The Amazing Race) is the first season of the American reality television series The Amazing Race. It was broadcast for the first time on September 5, 2001, and ended on December 13, 2001, on American television.
Lawyers and best friends Rob Frisbee and Brennan Swain were the winners of the inaugural Race.
The complete season set, featuring commentary from four of the teams, was released on DVD in September 2005.
Production
Development and filming
The first season of The Amazing Race traveled 35,000 miles (56,000km) in 39 days, spanning 4 continents and 9 different countries. The season was hit with multiple filming delays, including an airport strike in Rome and a sandstorm in Tunisia, the latter of which forced teams to begin leg 6 in Gabès, rather than the original Saharan desert Pit Stop.
Other aspects of filming were unique to the first season of the series. Host Phil Keoghan handed out clues at the beginning of some legs and only greeted the last-place team at each Pit Stop; all other teams were greeted and informed of their placements by local representatives. Each leg's Pit Stop mat featured a localized design; subsequent seasons have used a single mat design throughout the entire race.

BREAK THE OX! With The Amazing Race 31 being a reality clash for the ages, I think it's only appropriate to take a stroll down memory lane as we recap the stories of Colin & Christie from The Amazing Race 5. If you're interested in learning who they are, where they've been, and why I'm a fan of them... keep watching.

Airing for more than two decades, The AmazingRace is widely considered one of the best reality TV series, and a new season is going to be hitting the 2025 TV schedule ... In fact, there are two routes to additional money and prizes on The Amazing Race.
There’s no one more bullish about the future of The AmazingRace than the show’s longtime’s host Phil Keoghan...Survivor and The Amazing Race have long been tied together by fans, many of whom do watch both.
I’ve been trying to convince Frannie to do The AmazingRace with me the entire time, and she’s a little bit more Survivor or bust ... Frannie’s Take On Hopping From Survivor To The Amazing Race ... We would not thrive on The Amazing Race.
“Survivor” and “The AmazingRace” are headlining CBS’ winter schedule ... That will be followed on March 5 by the Season 37 premiere of “The Amazing Race.” ... “The Amazing Race” (Season 37 premiere).
If you think you have what it takes to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with a quarter of a million dollars on the line, the AmazingRaceCanada wants to hear from you ... .
If you watched Season 36 of The AmazingRace when it hit the 2024 TV schedule, you probably already know that one team got royally screwed before their elimination ...Nearly all teams have limitations on The Amazing Race .
“The AmazingRace at the Mall” will consist of teams of two who will race against time and each other in a high-energy challenge that combines both physical endurance and mental agility.
With final data of the full complete season to be reported, Season 10 of THE AMAZING RACECANADA was the overall #1 summer series (P2+ and A25-54), with a current season average of 1.3 million ...
Because it is so much less contained, The AmazingRace probably has the most moving parts to pull off of any reality series (that I can think of at least) and that forces constant innovation.
“One of our partners and I discussed doing the NewportAmazingRace as a fundraiser and hosting it in the city, so getting a bunch of different organizations and partnerships and creating the Amazing Race like the show,” Ripke said.
