The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is an American reality game show in which teams of two or four race around the world against other teams, with the first-place team winning $1,000,000. As the original version of the Amazing Race franchise, the CBS program has been running since 2001 and has completed sixteen seasons. In January 2010, CBS ordered a seventeenth season.
The show was created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster, who, along with Jonathan Littman, serve as executive producers. The show is produced by Earthview Inc. (headed by Doganieri and van Munster), Bruckheimer Television for CBS Paramount Television and ABC Studios (a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company). For all seasons, the series is hosted by veteran New Zealand television personality, Phil Keoghan.
The series has won the first seven Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program awarded since the category was created in 2003. Although it has moved around several prime time time slots since its inception, the program has averaged about 10 million viewers per season.

The Amazing Race Asia 3 – Teams – A.d. & Fuzzie
Colourful does not begin to describe long-time friends A.D. Chan and Fuzzie Sirajudin. As one can tell, normal does not describe the default buddies, as they describe themselves, who oddly define their relationship as “an old married couple”. “We’re like that, except we’re not old, we’re not married, and we’re not a couple!” says Fuzzie, [...]
The Amazing Race Asia 3 – Teams – Geoff & Tisha
You can call this her second chance. A technicality led to her resignation as Miss Philippines Universe 10 years ago and Tisha Silang is making sure that history does not repeat itself.
