At every destination, each couple will have to compete in a series of challenges — some mental and some physical — and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Couples who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.
Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Television and Earthview Inc. in association with ABC Television Studio and Amazing Race Productions.

+ Expand All
-
By the way that picture looks like my Mom and Dad.
-
Even though I had every right to.
-
that's a dude?
-
Scary! What, no midget this season?
-
Louisville Kentucky has a Goth community? When they say 'representing' do they mean they're the entire community? Big boobs though.
-
Maybe he'll sing 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?'
-
I never thought of the Swoosh as a viable part of Gothwear
-
No one even blinks at gay marriage anymore, yet goths are still ostracized.
I blame the fact that they're just trying too hard. -
Can they? I know Halloween is next week! What's with the Goth folks still hanging around? Didn't the 90's end about 8 years ago? I hope this team sticks around just for the amusement of seeing them interact in a foreign 3rd world culture. Besides the trick or treaters, looks like lots of good looking females in this year's cast!
-
Yeah, that was Chuck and Millie. The other teams used to think that he was a werewolf. But Millie was smokin', so I was a fan.
-
...at least on this show. Everything's just a concrete highway or cheap motel. And agreed, they really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel with contestants. This show isn't Jerry Springer, it's supposed to be a travelogue!
-
Take a look at the pic again!
-
Where?
-
I actually know of these two. Kynt is the reigning King....errr....Queen of the Louisville goth scene indeed. Funny factoid: the picture of him posted above is life size! Seriously, he'll fit in your pocket! Not that you would want him there...unless you want glitter residue on your Levi's. Now Vyxsin...man, she definitely has some tig ol' bitties.
-
Wouldn't that be more of a "club kid" or something like that? "drag queen"? Thats something, but I don't think it is quite goth.
-
good job. the first think is extremely lame.
as for goths wearing pink.it's allowed if the pink is paired with enough black.
I in no way believe those two are dating. He's gayer than a clockwork orange. -
love this show
-
Someone call the people making the GI JOE movie. Zartan's Sister Zarana has been found!
-
-Even if their power would be to repeatedly show up late for work (and forget to punch their time cards).
-
Actually I'm more amazed this is still on but compared to other Reality TV (Pirate Master I'm looking at you) this is Shakespere
-
There was very little gay in clockwork orange, my little droog.
Except the guy's body guard. -
I know it looks absurd, but they are 100% for real. They are really big into the goth scene around here, which oddly enough, is REALLY big. They are both super nice and hopefully they do well on the show. We get a lot of smack talk (see most comments above), so I guess this shows the world we're not all rednescks living up a holler.
Anyway, I'm out to rape my goat. -
Look at the size of the boobs on that freakazoid next to him. Well done, sir. Thomas Jefferson would be proud of your ingenuity and preserverance in pursuit of those funbags. You're a credit to your sex, and America.
-
Or so it would seem on some of the goth fashion sites. Who knew?
-
I miss the old punk/goth days, when people didn't try to conform in their non-conformity.
-

Since when is the lead singer of Dead or Alive considered Goth?
by jackrabbitslim
Half of the Brit-synthpop bands of the mid 80s looked like these two and no one called them goth. Thought hot pink was pretty much verboten to the Robert Smiths of this world. *shrug*
-
I'm pretty sure the race has never been won by an all-female team.
-
I cringe whenever I pass a "Hot Topic" in a mall -- though they're good for a couple of non-mainstream action figures or funny T-shirts for my three year old twins.
-
Don't know these 2, but have seen em on MySpace on friends of friends pages. Sure they're nice folks...but when did glam rock & goth merge into one bastardized look? Louisville does have a great arts scene & counter culture believe it or not. For those of you who generalize the KY with the stereotypical bs, let's not forget that it's the same town that produced Ali, My Morning Jacket, & of course my upcoming comic. Not to mention Derby. If you've been there for you know what I'm talkin about.
-
A friend of mine pointed out the eerie similarity. Go Team Rocket!
http://eugeal.tripod.com/team01.jpg -
This show've probably already peaked... you can't get much better than a midget in full armour afraid of getting trampled by her own horse, falling and unable to get up...
Oh, those memories XD -
"Look at the size of the boobs on that freakazoid next to him. Well done, sir. Thomas Jefferson would be proud of your ingenuity and preserverance in pursuit of those funbags. You're a credit to your sex, and America." That was huge. Also, I think if instead of a suit of armor that if the little person would have hopped into a replica of the R2D2 suit and had to 'sprint' across the desert somewhere . . . that would've been equally entertaining. To me.
-
this season. It seems like that used to happen every season, but it hasn't been a regular occurance lately. Usually someone also falls down on the initial race from the starting line to their cars or where ever they're going. I like people falling down.
-
There's a reason why it wins all the Emmys. Can't wait for a new season of TAR! But again, avoid too much stunt casting. Ordinary people would be fine.
-
Goths were already tired by the 90s. The movement actually started in 82-83 with the London club The Batcave and bands like Southern Death Cult. There is nothing more tedious than a goth.
