‘The Amazing Race’ Season 34 Preview
In its 34th season, “The Amazing Race” celebrates its 400th episode as 12 new teams of two race around the world of the $1 million prize. One pair is a dating couple from “Big Brother,” Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao.
The press release for the season reads:
This season, for the first time, the 12 globe-trotting teams will begin the race outside of the United States, traveling to Munich, Germany for the starting line. The show also visits the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan, where teams will ride a train and experience a scene reminiscent of the 1963 Oscar-winning film “Lawrence of Arabia,” perform a Jordanian folk dance and learn the Arabic alphabet. Also, for the first time in “The Amazing Race” history, there will be no non-elimination legs.
With one team being eliminated at the end of every leg, it will be one of the most grueling races in the show’s history and teams will be in for a surprise when host Phil Keoghan teases a game-changing element in the first leg of the race. Other locations that teams will travel to include Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Iceland and Nashville, where the first team to cross the final finish line will be crowned the winner of “The Amazing Race” and the $1 million prize.
