This Show is Absolutely horrible. When exactly did this come out? I would not associate how they play this to the amazing race at all.

@MrBigcid10 yes i agree with you. this show came out in summer 2009. i think this is like a limited area of the race with low budget. but later the amazing race: china rush replaces this show. i think they'll do it better in tarcr season 2.
