"The Amazing Race" season 29 has become one of the most anticipated TV shows of 2017. This follows the decision of CBS to cut the show from its list of shows for 2016's second half. Avid fans of the fast-paced reality show were worried that the season is already canceled. CBS though ended the speculations and announced late last year about the return of "The Amazing Race."
Scheduled for an April 21 release, "The Amazing Race" will have a special two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. EST. The network has not yet revealed the complete details of the upcoming season, but fans from the Reality Fan Forum spilled highly potential destinations of "TAR" 29. The whole cast and crew of the show are said to meet at the Grand Hope Park, Los Angeles for a pre-race event which marks the start of the season.
Premiere spoilers have it that the first hour of the two-hour special will feature the pre-race event. After L.A. gathering, the 22 individual racers are reported to take Panama flight, which is believed to be the starting point of the main competition. As per forum discussion, the race will probably end up in Seoul, Korea for this season. According to Inquisitr, destinations in between might include Brazil, Tanzania, Norway, Italy, Greece, Vietnam and South Korea before the remaining contenders from the last Leg fly back to the United States.
