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 remember to watched The Amazing Race since I was young back in 2002 and more than 20 years still one of my favorite reality show since the age of cable television before YouTube

What surprises me most is with all those crazy antics they've made the contestants do there's never been a serious accident or fatality. That's Amazing!

This is the best show ever. I've watched every season.

Been watching since 2008. My 10yo son we adopted from china loves it and we have restarted from s1 on paramount. He wants to travel the world because of it. Thats the power of truly good content. Cant get enough and cant give enough appreciation for the endurance this production team has demonstrated. Please keep going and dont change!

This show should get a tenure of some sort. It should never ends. I mean seriously.

[aylyi-huh]

this show made my childhood. and was the biggest motivator for me to later solo travel to117+ countries. would love to compete on the show some day but after 20 years that 1 million dollar prize doesn't go half as much anymore 😅

[bluespeyerful]

Absolutely the best reality show by far. I've been watching for 35 seasons and never want them to end. So many great locations, super cool challenges, and memories.

Phil is the right host and my favourite - passionate, patient, educated, impartial, yet sympathetic, natural, easy-going, open-minded, funny. He's just got the right charisma and personality for the show! What else?

[lydsvidss]

My family always watches this show together its the best!

[misswendyjane]

My favorite show of all time. They're right that they best part is seeing so many parts of the world, and experiencing cultures, most people never get to in person.

[hanaj]

Still my favorite reality competition. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. I remember pacing back and forth for Chip and Kim’s win back in the day. I literally cried

[llebbkish]

I'm honestly surprised that Bertram is literally at every Roadblock, Detour, and Route Marker Challenge ....esp at his age. Cannot wait to participate and dominate this gorgeous race

[beachmom]

My favorite show. I have watched every season.
