Nineteen times before, CBS has sent
pairs of Americans - linked by blood, marriage or friendship - on
a Race around the world. Through all six inhabited continents, over
eighty different countries and over a half-million miles, teams
have Raced from PIT STOP to PIT STOP, losing some along the way.
Tasked with DETOURs and ROADBLOCKs, YIELDs and INTERSECTIONs, FAST
FORWARDs and U-TURNs, HAZARDs and SPEED BUMPs, the Earth was circumnavigated,
cash, cars and Travelocity(TM) trips were handed out...and, of course,
nineteen of those million-dollar checks were awarded. Now, once
again, eleven teams of two are being brought to the STARTING LINE
for this, the historic twentieth incarnation of the worldwide phenomenon
that only Survivor has lasted longer than! It's time for
THE AMAZING RACE 20!

Round 1 of Survivor action
is in the books, and after a surprising left turn at Albuquerque, both
tribes wind up at the same beach. This leads to both sharing and
scheming. And while the manly men and the girly girls are at each
others' throats, the outcasts are teaming up to pick the order apart.
Said order came to an abrupt halt when Kourtney Moon was medically
eclipsed by a game-ending injury. And then there were 17 on One World.
