‘The Amazing Race’ Emotional Season 36 Trailer Kicks Things Off in Puerto Vallarta (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large It’s finally here. Variety joined the producers and contestants — including host Phil Keoghan — on a private charter to Puerto Vallerta to kick off “The Amazing Race” back in October 2022.
There, embedded with the producers, we got to see some of the show’s hallmarks up close: The race starting line, on the beach in front of the Westin hotel; challenges involving Lucha Libre wrestlers and rodeo lassos; teammates already screaming at one another; camera operators — the true heroes of this production — keeping tabs on one another; and Keoghan doing his well-rehearsed standups introducing the country the show is visiting.
In an exciting first episode, we even got to see a medical emergency on one of the first tasks! (I hope they’re OK. I think they are.) A lot more of that to come soon.
But why did it take so long for this season to air? Read all about it here: Inside ‘The Amazing Race’ High-Wire Act and the Scramble Behind the Scenes Making TV’s Most Ambitious Competition Show.
