The Amazing Race season 34 has come to and end. The reality competition show first aired in 2001 and, over 20 years later, awarded another $1 million prize to its winning team.
The race is split into legs, where contestants receive clues and must navigate around foreign countries to complete physically and mentally challenging tasks. If they're the last one to make it to their final destination for that leg, they could be eliminated. New for this season, CBS has announced that there is not going to be any non-elimination legs of the competition; though there are megalegs that may span two episodes before eliminating a team. If they can persevere, the final team will earn the seven-figure sum in the end.
After being forced to adjust to the early days of the pandemic with The Amazing Race season 33, things are just about back to normal with this new season.
Break out your passports (figuratively, of course), here is everything we know about The Amazing Race season 34.
