CBS has revealed the identities of the 11 teams who will be competing on The Amazing Race's twelfth season when it premieres on Sunday, November 4 at 8PM ET/PT.
Similar to previous editions of The Amazing Race, each of the members of the 11 teams competing on the show's twelfth installment have a pre-existing relationship with one another. Four teams consist of family members, five teams are couples who are romantically involved, and three teams are friends.
In addition, three of the teams consist of women that will be trying to become The Amazing Race's first-ever female team winners.
Over the course of 30 days, the teams will embark on a 30,000-mile trek that will include visits to five countries The Amazing Race has never filmed in before, including Ireland, Lithuania and Croatia.
The teams will compete in a series of physical and mental challenges at every destination, and the team that is the farthest behind at the conclusion of each leg being eliminated. The first team to cross the competition's finish line will claim the show's $1 million grand prize.
According to The Amazing Race executive producer Jonathan Littman, the show's twelfth edition -- which was filmed this past summer -- will run two episodes shorter and drop the course's non-elimination Pit Stops in an effort to "create more excitement." Non-elimination Pit Stops had been part of The Amazing Race since the reality competition series first premiered in Fall 2001.
CBS had renewed The Amazing Race for a twelfth edition in May, but announced the five-time Emmy-Award winning reality competition series wouldn't be part of its initial 2007-2008 primetime programming lineup and would instead air as midseason programming. This fall marked the first time in three years that The Amazing Race did not premiere as part of the network's initial fall schedule launch.
