The wait is almost over! Season 37 of The Amazing Race is set to premiere on March 5 on CBS. From skydiving over Dubai to racing through the streets of Hong Kong, it’s sure to be a must-watch season.
The Emmy-winning reality competition series takes contestants (and viewers) on the adventure of a lifetime as they race around the globe for a chance to win the $1 million grand prize. The 37th season has been dubbed the “Season of Surprises” and is making history with the largest number of contestants yet, 14 teams. Viewers can expect new twists and surprises in each episode, including the “Fork in the Road,” where the teams will get to choose between two different routes. Two routes mean that two teams will face elimination at the end of that leg of the race.
