How does the "Amazing Race" work?
I need help. I never watch the show amazing race but i need to know how it works. PLEASE BE DETAILED ABOUT IT!!!! I think it starts out with two people and a clue and some money, but how does it go on from there.
Ok, after a team has gone to there first place how do they get another clue to go to the next place
Each of the eleven or twelve teams on The Amazing Race is composed of two individuals who have some type of relationship to each other. The exception in the series so far has been Season 8, which was a family edition of the race that featured teams of four.
The teams represent a wide demographic of different ages, races, sexual orientations, and relationships. Relationships have included long-time married couples, siblings (including twins), parent/child (including grandfather/grandson), friends (roommates, fraternity brothers, platonic friends, high school friends, lifelong friends etc.), romantic partners (both heterosexual and homosexual), and couples who are separated or were formerly dating.
The various relationship dynamics between the team members under the stress of competition is one focus of the show. Teammates must race the entire race together: they cannot split up (except when instructed to do so by a clue, albeit temporarily) or continue on without each other. If one teammate becomes injured and is unable to finish the race, the team must forfeit . Both teammates must also arrive at each Pit Stop together in order to check in.
At the beginning of each leg of the race, each team receives an allowance of cash with their first clue. During the race, all expenses (food, transportation, lodging, attraction admission, supplies) must be purchased from this allowance. The exception to this is the purchase of airline tickets. This money is usually given in U.S. Dollars regardless of the current location of the race.
