Amazing Race is back tonight....... 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

After the longest pit stop in "Amazing Race" history, the show is back.

"The Amazing Race" had completed filming three episodes of a new season when the world came to a halt over coronavirus concerns in March 2020.
It took more than a year and a half for the show's producers and the network, CBS, to make safety protocols and arrangements to finish what they started in the face of unprecedented circumstances.
But like the contestants who race around the world for a chance to win $1 million, "The Amazing Race" producers were up for the challenge.
Below, host Phil Keoghan opens up below about how they did it and what it means to race around the world after a world-changing event.

but then they started forming alliances with others, just as Survivor did, which ruined that program for me, too.
It just got too freaking complicated trying to keep up with who was with who straight.

years ago when they were filming a season of repeat teams. So fun to all of a sudden see the Cowboys run past us! We stayed for a bit and watched the teams run past us after completing a challenge.
