Amazing Race 12
"The Amazing Race: 12 sends eleven teams on a 30,000 mile quest covering
five countries never before visited on the Race, including Ireland,
Lithuania and Croatia. Testing the Racers’ physical wherewithal, they
bike ride in Ireland on a high-wire 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean,
pole-vault over a stream in Holland and attempt to milk several stubborn
camels. This pushes the Racers’ patience to the brink - they realize
that this is not for the faint-of-heart. The Racers must also contend
with lost taxi drivers, depleted resources and most of all, each other.
Amazing Race 13
"The Emmy®* award-winning reality adventure returns with THE AMAZING
RACE Season 13. Eleven Teams cover 30,000 miles across five continents
in approximately 30 days. The cast showcases diverse couples:
long-married beekeepers; a separated couple looking to rebuild their
marriage; joke-cracking fraternity brothers described by rival teams as
“Team Superbad”; and two comic book aficionados, one of whom “wears geek
as a badge of honor.”
The Race begins in the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum, they jockey for flights headed to Salvador, Brazil.
Stamina and courage are strained during a harrowing detour. Season 13
has Amazing Race firsts: a real-life water world where its inhabitants
live on a floating city and places such as Cambodia and Kazakhstan are
explored. The teams square off against Bolivian wrestlers and one team’s
mistake prohibits them from joining their fellow Racers at the finish
line. The pressure ratchets, slip-ups like misreading clues to blindly
following competitors become a burden. Moral and ethical standards are
challenged when one team gets in trouble with the law, while a Racer
lies at one of the most religious places on Earth. As the finish line
approaches, Teams disregard the blurry line between right and wrong,
focusing instead on the $1,000,000! Watch the adventure unfold on The
Amazing Race: 13 on DVD!
