Behind the scenes of "The Amazing Race"

For the past 21 years, the CBS competition series "The Amazing Race" has tested the endurance of intrepid contestants on a race around the world, a global odyssey with a $1 million prize at the finish line. And for the creators of the show, executive producers Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster, it's all still pretty amazing for them, too. Correspondent Tracy Smith tags along as the show's latest lineup of racers heads to Munich for the start of the show's 34th season, for a race in which there are no do-overs.

    I love this show and have watched every season since it's inception. What bothers me is that over the years it seems that The Amazing Race has taken a backseat in the TV schedule, moving from Sunday night to Friday night, now on Wednesdays. Schedule it back where it belongs - on Sunday night. If you've lost any of your viewer base, you may get them back!

He made some errors by taking a taxi over the George Washington Bridge instead of going through the Lincoln Tunnel thru Manhattan then on to catch the #7 train in Queens. The two guys from Los Angeles came in the winners even though they are not from NYC.

    Which episode made you laugh the most? The one that comes to mind is when they were in Switzerland hand carrying wooden carts with a big cheese going down a hill. Many lost their balance while the wooden carts were smashed to smithereens, and the cheese going in another direction. Another one was with the border patrol men they were doing a WWI recreation then one of them forced the Asian couple to do another task with the morse code. One of the border patrol men had to slide down a hill. Every time he slid down he came down like Humpty Dumpty always falling while the skate board went in another direction. Those are two of the funniest scenes that made me laugh to tears.

    Am a huge fan of Amazing Race and Survivor. Suggestions - INDIA. Each contestant MUST 1) pound red chilli, green chilli and dried chilli with all the seeds in it. Then they are to pound onions to it. No blender is allowed. If they can't see cos of chilli, onions, they are NOT allowed to wash their hands. They are to use the same hands which they pound, to rub their eyes. Exactly, it's meant for each contestant to experience chilli. Then, they are to eat all the chilli WITHOUT ANY WATER. NO MILK IS ALLOWED. NO OTHER FOOD IS TO BE EATEN WITH THE CHILLI. THEY MUST FINISH every single chilli WITH the seeds. AND 2) catch 1 dozen live eels from river with live alligators in the river and river bank. Then, each of them are to bring it to the market and cut the live eels. Then, bring the cut eels to restaurants for cooking. Suggestions - CHINA. Every contestant MUST 1) eat cooked pork kidney with lots of raw ginger. No rice. No drink. AND 2) eat boiled pork stomach and boiled pork intestines with bitter Chinese herbs WITH lots of raw garlic. No rice. No drink. AND 3) eat 1 dozen boiled century eggs with lots of raw ginger. No other food. No drinks. AND 4) catch 1 dozen live eels from river with live alligators in the river and river bank. Then, each of them are to bring it to the market and cut the live eels. Then, bring the cut eels to restaurants. Then, they are to eat 1 dozen slices of raw eel with seaweed + fresh red chilli (with seeds) + fresh green chilli (with seeds) + squeezed lemon juice + wasabe. No other food. No drink.

    Germany is not really an exciting destination you know. I think the most dramatic thing that happened to me while in Frankfurt was when the maid knocked on my door to clean my room then when I opened it her underarm perspiration was so strong it nearly knocked me out. Then another day I found the a Deutsche Mark note equivalent to about $50 US dollars while walking down the stairway to breakfast after the elevator was taking too long to come. They try to do tasks that the local people do. One of the funniest task was carrying a big ball of cheese on a wooden cart downhill in Switzerland. Few people were able to make it downhill without falling over and having the wooden cart broken into pieces. That was one of the funniest scenes.
