The Amazing Race season 37 host

The game and players may change, but the one constant for The Amazing Race has been host Phil Keoghan. The native New Zealander once again shepherded teams and the viewers on the global adventure, something that has seen him earn four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.

The Amazing Race season 37 premise

The end goal of The Amazing Race has been the same since the beginning — be the first team to make it through all of the various stages taking teams across the world and be the first to cross the final finish line to win $1 million. However, there are going to be a few new things to this season that fans should know about.

CBS teases that there will be “game-changing twists” in each episode of the season. Some of these may revolve around already well known game pieces like Fast Forward and U-Turn, but there will also be some new ones, like Fork in the Road, which will force teams to choose which route they will want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated.

Other new surprises have not been shared at this time.
