description

Multiple teams of two"”people with "pre-existing relationships" like marriages or common DNA"”race from one exotic destination to the next, completing sometimes dangerous and sometimes just quirky and curious challenges. "Amazing Race" TV series producers insist the challenges represent customs and traditions in the country or among the people where the teams contest them. The first team to reach the ultimate destination collects a cool $1 million in American dollars. In addition to avoiding elimination from the competition, the teams frequently must struggle to repress their homicidal urges as stress, exhaustion, mysterious languages and even more mysterious currencies take their toll on once-loving relationships. The race rewards tolerance and resourcefulness as teams travel by just about every imaginable mode of transport: if it somehow moves people over land or water, the racers have used it. When all else fails, contestants just tough-it-out on foot. Although the race is as obviously contrived as anything ever shown American television viewers, the emotional dramas and physical challenges are compellingly real". So try the hybrid: "The Amazing Race," television's first "reality television game show"
