The Amazing Race

- Season 29

(2017)

In a brand new twist, all 22 Racers are complete strangers who will meet on the starting line. Before "GO," Racers will immediately compete in a challenge that will determine the order for picking a Teammate, based on nothing but first impressions. These new pairs of Teammates will then have mere moments to learn their traveling companion's name before beginning a race around the world that will span 9 countries, 17 cities and 36,000 miles.

Teams travel to Sao Paulo, Brazil where tensions rise between two teams when one goes back on their word.

Racers travel to Zanzibar, Tanzania where teams build and deliver desks to a local school. Also, tensions rise when teams face a blind double U-turn, and one team's Race may be in jeopardy when they misplace their passports.

(Alesund, Norway) - Racers take on a record setting Roadblock by helping build a 13-story bonfire in Norway.

Several teams come together and target one set of Racers at the double U-turn in Italy.

Teams race through Venice, Italy where one team reaches a breaking point in a frantic search for a water taxi.

While driving to the Detour, one team ends up going the wrong way, and a surprising U-turn causes friction between racers.

With the one million dollar prize on the line, the final three teams race to Chicago where they must complete their final challenges within the windy city's most iconic landmarks, including a trip to Wrigley Field, the home of the World Champion Chicago Cubs.
