Ready, set, race: ‘Amazing Race’ Season 36 heads to all-new locale
Phone, wallet, keys, passport and a can-do attitude — that’s just about all you need to win $1 million. That, and maybe a good teammate. “The Amazing Race” returns with an all-new season of flights, fights and delights, when it premieres Wednesday, March 13, on CBS.
Hosted by Phil Keoghan (“The Ride,” 2011), this 10-time Primetime Emmy-winning reality series follows teams of two as they embark on a life-changing trek around the world, each hoping to be the fastest and brightest in order to avoid elimination on their sprint toward the finish line and claim the life-changing prize waiting just beyond it.
The duos for the upcoming race — often composed of friends, family members, couples or co-workers — have yet to be announced by the network, but CBS has confirmed that 11 teams will be gathered at the Season 36 starting line, ready to traverse the Americas and beyond. Teams are reportedly expected to travel to Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Barbados and the Dominican Republic, before finishing their trek in Philadelphia.
