The Amazing Race

- Season 19

(2011)

Eleven teams of two travel from Los Angeles, California to Taipei, Taiwan. One team's position is put in serious jeopardy less than an hour into the race when they lose their passport. The first team to check in at the Pit Stop wins the Express Pass, which they can use at any time during the next eight legs of the race. The last team to complete the first task encounters a Hazard, a task that only they have to complete, further in the leg.

The eleven teams travel from Taipei, Taiwan to Yogyakarta, Indonesia. For the first time in the race's history, the last two teams to check in are eliminated at the Pit Stop. A misplaced clue could jeopardise one team's place in the race, while failure to read a clue at an orphanage proves costly for several teams.

The nine remaining teams stay in Indonesia as they travel from Yogyakarta to Borobudur. A mechanical breakdown leaves one team sidelined. When some people are faced with a mind-numbing Road Block at an 8th century Buddhist temple, they join forces with other people to complete it.

The eight remaining teams travel from Borobudur, Indonesia to Koh Panyi, Thailand, where struggles with an underwater challenge could threaten their positions in the game. One team's love of the outdoors comes in handy during a tough climbing challenge at the Road Block.

The eight teams stay in Thailand as they travel from Koh Panyi to Bangkok. When one team becomes concerned that they have broken the rules, they take a risk that could cost them their place in the race. The last team to check in at the last leg find that their unwanted Speed Bump becomes a dream excursion.

The seven remaining teams travel from Bangkok, Thailand to Kumbali, Malawi. When one team falls toward the back of the pack, the spirit of the local workers provides some encouragement to a disheartened person at the Road Block. There is an intense foot race to the Pit Stop.

The seven teams stay in Malawi as they travel from Kumbali to Salima. One team falls behind when they are puzzled by a patriotic Speed Bump. Teams have to choose if they want to sabotage when a Double U-Turn comes into play.

The six remaining teams travel from Salima, Malawi to Copenhagen, Denmark. One person finds out what it means to have two left feet at the Road Block, while another Double U-Turn could jeopardise every team's positions in the race.

The five remaining teams travel from Copenhagen, Denmark to Brussels, Belgium. One team hopes for a lucky break after they make a game-changing mistake. Teams get in touch with their inner exhibitionists when they don Speedos for a bodybuilding task.

The five teams immediately start the next leg as they travel around Belgium before returning to Brussels. They put the pedal to the metal and shift into high gear when they take a Ford Mustang on a test drive. When some teams try to recreate some classic Belgian waffles at the Detour, the results turn out anything but sweet.

The four remaining teams travel from Brussels, Belgium to Panama City, Panama. At the Road Block, some people come face to face with their fears as they take in some astonishing views of the city skyline.

The final three teams travel from Panama City, Panama to Atlanta, Georgia. When a smooth landing proves to be elusive for one team, it gives their competitors a chance to soar. The first team to reach the finish wins the US$1 million prize.
