ELEVEN TEAMS BEGIN THEIR RACE AROUND THE WORLD WHEN THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING REALITY SERIES "THE AMAZING RACE 7" DEBUTS WITH A SPECIAL 2-HOUR BROADCAST, TUESDAY, MARCH 1 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK
"Courteous? This is a race!" -- Eleven couples will compete in a race around the world with one couple taking home the $1 million prize when THE AMAZING RACE 7, the two-time Emmy Award-winning reality series, premieres with a special two-hour broadcast, Tuesday, March 1 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
The race starts in picturesque Long Beach, California and quickly takes the teams to Lima, Peru where, upon landing, they have to take a bus to their next clue. One team is fluent in Spanish and immediately leads several teams to the right bus. Choosing between a detour of leading llamas or carrying heavy baskets into town, one team chooses to lead two especially disagreeable llamas and spends much of the task dodging showers of spit. Another team decides to carry the heavy baskets, but one of them nearly passes-out from exhaustion caused by the high altitude.
