• The Emmy Award-winning CBS reality show, The Amazing Race features teams of two competing for a grand prize of $1 million. Each season, the show kicks off with the teams beginning the race at a specific United States location. The teams are provided with a limited amount of cash for each leg of the race and they are also given credit cards that can be used to purchase airline tickets. Each team must book their own airline tickets and plan their routes to arrive at specific locations around the world. Along the way they have to complete several tasks and challenges. Generally the last team to check in at the pit-stop is eliminated from the competition. The team that finishes the final leg of the race first, wins the one million dollar prize.CBS: The Amazing Race
