New Season, New Twist Racers Will Have a Chance to Save Themselves from Elimination
Posted on Aug 28, 2014 06:30am
This season of THE AMAZING RACE, which marks the 25th edition of the 10 time Emmy Award-winning series, will feature 11 new teams, including professional surfer Bethany Hamilton and her husband Adam Dirks, Boston firefighters Michael Ward and Scott Strazzullo and professional wrestlers Robbie E. Strauss and Brooke Adams.
This season also includes a unique and powerful new addition to the race. Before Racers crossed the starting line in May with the first ever public start from Times Square in New York City, host Phil Keoghan introduced a new game changing element, “The Save.” The team that finishes first in the premiere episode will be awarded “The Save,” which they can use to rescue themselves if they come in last on a leg and face elimination.
Teams this season will be put to the test as they travel through 8 countries and 20 cities, spanning more than 26,000 miles. For the first time in the show’s history, the Race will visit St. Thomas, Virgin Islands where teams will fly high in the sky; Valletta, Malta where they’ll rappel 200 feet into a breathtaking Blue Grotto sea cave; and the Shetland Islands, Scotland to test their sheep herding skills.
Don't miss the season premiere of The Amazing Race on its new day, Friday, September 26th 8/7c on CBS.

Umm... Have you guys seen the teams' videos? Like, half the teams are talking about making alliances, I even confused myself if I was watching Survivor contestants.
What is going on?! I don't recall anyone speaking of plans of making alliances on a presentation video EVER.
I really hope this doesn't turn into another 24-like season of let's-help-each-other-out :/ :'(

It seems to be a consequence of the U-Turn. Teams are no longer able to just RACE, they must constantly be aware of their social game as well. I liked it best when teams had their own fate in their own hands, and succeeded or failed solely based on their own choices and decisions.

I agree. But then we can get a cast like TARAuvNZ who work with anyone and turn their backs on anyone at the drop of a hat. lol
So part of it too is casting I guess, it would be great to have teams who don't care about their image and just Race (but not too much *cough*John&Murray*cough*) hehe
