So, the new season has started not so long ago, and will visit 3 countries: South Korea, Philippines and Australia. It's going to be called Pékin Express : le Passager mystère (the mystery passenger), because in some times during the race, teams will have to travel with a tv host from M6 (Sandrine Corman, Stéphane Plaza (those two already participated to the vip season), Faustine Bollaert, Alex Goude, Mac Lesggy).
And finally, the best for the end, it will be an All-Star season!! :hearts:

#theamazingrace #Pekinexpress #France #Seoul #southkorea On a aidé les frères Belges à avancer dans leur etape, sur Pekin express à Séoul !!
Translation: We helped the Belgians brothers to advance in their leg on Pekin Express in Seoul.
Which refers to Ludovic & Samuel from Pékin Express 6. Heres a link to the picture taken!
@MaynePhilippe ils ont l'air de bien se porter, malgré le froid en Corée -9°c aujourd'hui. http://pic.twitter.com/0wJWxjlp
Translation: They seem to go pretty well even with the cold weather in Korea -9°c today
freds:
I think it will be a great season. I am not surprised that the belgians brother came back, they made a very good season last year and they lose at the last part of the final leg.

Belgium's version of 'Amazing Race' films in PHL
By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZJanuary 19, 2012,
‘Peking Express’ will feature various tourist spots in the PhilippinesMANILA, Philippines – The Philippines is fast becoming a shooting destination for international entertainment projects, the latest of which is “Peking Express,” considered as the Belgian counterpart of the hit US reality show “The Amazing Race.”
Shortly after cameras rolled in Manila for the Hollywood spy thriller “The Bourne Legacy,” and “American Idol” singer-songwriter David Archuleta started shooting for the TV5 mini-series “Nandito Ako,” a contingent of 61 crew members and talents has flown into the country to shoot five out of 12 episodes of “Peking Express,” reported Interaksyon.com.
Shooting for “Peking Express” is scheduled from Jan. 18 to Feb. 2.
The contestants—composed of eight French couples—will traverse various tourist sites in Luzon. According to Interaksyon, the itinerary “is expected to go through Manila-Bagac-Cervantes-Bontoc-Angeles-Pinatubo Volcano-Quezon-Candelaria-Talisay,” and back to the country’s capital.
The show, which began in 2004 and already in its seventh season, sends couples to hitchhike from one country to another, testing their skills and spirit as teams while learning about a culture different from their own. Competition in the current season began in Seoul, South Korea, and will culminate in Sydney, Australia.
As part of the challenge, each of the contestants are given merely one euro a day (about P56 pesos as of this writing), and must devise resourceful plans in order for them to reach their destinations and fulfill their tasks, with the production team following their quest.
One team will be eliminated per episode until two couples remain to battle it out in the finale.
“Peking Express” has also been adapted in other European territories such as Germany, Scandinavia, France, and Spain.

OMG they are spoiling the entire route :cmas18 :lol:
And they're saying eight couples; so this probably means they eliminated two teams in South Korea (if it's like the other seasons of course, which had 10 teams)
