Episode Detail: The Race Begins - Amazing Race

Debut: Eleven two-member teams compete for $1 million in a global race to an undisclosed final destination. First up: The pairs gather in New York's Central Park for instructions and information on the first stop: Johannesburg, South Africa. As the race continues, the duos face challenges that could help or hinder their progress, and slower teams are eliminated. Phil Keoghan hosts the show, which he says is “about relationships. The race is just a means to get people to interact.”
