Tonight, Wednesday, January 5, the first episode of the new season of The Amazing Race (CBS Original) will be aired on the American broadcaster CBS. The production was filmed also in Ticino, especially in the city of Lugano, with the support of the Ticino Film Commission and the collaboration of local film professionals.

 

The Amazing Race is a multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series hosted by Emmy Award-nominated host Phil Keoghan and now in its 33rd edition. This season, 11 teams will embark on a trek around the world, 13 cities and 7 countries. At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams who are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning The Amazing Race and the $1 million prize.

The Amazing Race started production on season 33 in February 2020. After three legs, filming stopped because of the Covid-19 pandemic. After 18 months and the longest pit stop in the show’s history, The Amazing Race resumed and finished filming this past fall.

 

We are very pleased that Southern Switzerland will be made better known to thousands of viewers around the world and we are curious to discover the challenges that took place in the locations of our Canton. One of these, we're already telling you, is the magnificent Contra dam in the Verzasca Valley. Other challenges took place in some of Lugano's historic places and streets such as the famous Via Nassa.


The episodes filmed in Ticino will be aired on Tuesday, 18.01 and Friday, 25.01 at 21:00 (3:00 the next day in Switzerland), but now the transmission is only available in the United States.


We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the filming of the event: the Authorization and Events Office of the City of Lugano, the Municipal Police of Lugano, the Hotel, restaurant, wine shop and butcher shop GABBANI SA in Lugano, Mion Frutta e Verdura SA in Lugano, Verzasca SA with the Verzasca Foundation and Trekking Team AG (Bungee Jump).

What we know so far.

[ianthebalance]

How do we think they get to Southern Switzerland? Self-driving, charter busses, or pit start moved to there?

From the press pics it looks like one of the clues is read behind a giant poppy, the reverse of where teams checked in at the pit stop last leg.

Surprisingly the clue being opened is a Roadblock; for the sake of not having to have too many extra people involved I guess they're forced to pick, then drive there - a 200km drive isn't completely out of the realm of possibility (especially if they start early in the day which I imagine they would).

It’s a blurry as it is just a screen grab pulled from video, but if I had to guess, I will guess that is Cayla.

Idk if anyone mentioned it but you can see a Travelocity Gnome with Sheri

Sneak peek is up in post #2.

Pit Stop seems to be Villa Ciani.

Thanks for the photos. Teams seem to be picking up the RB right where they left off--the Marktgasse in Altstatten.

[theschnauzers]

A point of terminology. CBS is not describing the four teams who did not return as “eliminated” or “withdrew” and I don’t think our episode or overall timeline should either. I’m not using that terminology either in the Ranking the Racers posts, either.

Thanks, for the photos and the ID! (I still can't see the videos.) Looks like Ryan/Dusty are on the way to the Pit Stop when Dusty collapses. Map above has been updated.

Looking like they have to climb that "Stairway to Hell" to reach the Pit Stop? That'll be a burden on Sheri who is the least physically fit. I can visualize Akbar now being "move it, move it!" on the way up

[Neobie]

Managed to see the video on a different forum. The stairs are one half of a Detour, where teams have to deliver wine and chestnuts up the stairs to a "party". The chestnuts are very close to the bottom of the stairs; not sure where the wine is.

Dusty getting a cramp(?) is either on the way to pick up the wine, or on the way to the Pit Stop after the Detour.

From the promos and photos who all did the bungy jump? Cayla, Kim, Sherri, one of the twins
