The Amazing Race 32 is the thirty-second season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race . Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited four continents and eleven countries and traveled over 33,000 miles (53,000 km). Starting in Los Angeles, racers traveled through Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, India, Cambodia, and the Philippines before returning to the United States and finishing in New Orleans. New twists introduced in this season include an elimination during a no-rest leg, a Double Switchback, and the City Sprint. Elements of the show that returned for this season were the Yield and double-length legs, which were renamed Mega Legs. The season premiered on CBS on October 14, 2020, [1] and the season finale aired on December 16, 2020.
Boyfriends Will Jardell and James Wallington were the winners of this season, while married parents Hung Nguyen and Chee Lee finished in second place, and professional volleyball players Riley McKibbin and Maddison McKibbin finished in third place.
During the airing of season 30 in January 2018, Phil Keoghan suggested that the show could return to filming two seasons a year after two years of only filming one. [2] After season 31 completed filming in July 2018, The Amazing Race 32 began on November 10, 2018 with filming of first leg reported on the island of Tobago, marking the first time The Amazing Race visited Trinidad and Tobago. [3] The season concluded filming on December 3, 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana. [4]
According to Phil Keoghan, this season was the most physically demanding to film since The Amazing Race 3 . [5] This season also saw The Amazing Race reach a milestone of traveling one million cumulative miles. [6]
This season was the first to eliminate the last place team during a no-rest leg. [7] It also saw the first appearance of the Yield since the first All-Stars edition back in 2007, making this the first season to feature both the Yield and the U-Turn. [8] [9] The mechanics of the Yield were changed such that teams had to find an hourglass during Leg 2 that they could use later in the season to Yield another team. [10]
Two new twists were introduced this season: the Mega Leg and City Sprint. Leg 8 featured a Mega Leg: a rebranding of the double-length leg last seen on The Amazing Race 14 , which featured two Detours and two Roadblocks over the course of one leg. [11] Leg 10 featured the City Sprint, where teams did not have to complete any Detours or Roadblocks, but rather a series of tasks that they had to complete as quickly as possible. [12]
Unlike five of the past six seasons, which had particular themes, Phil Keoghan referred to this season as taking a "back to basics" approach with the cast and the show going back to core elements. [13]
At twenty-two months, The Amazing Race 32 has the longest gap between its filming completion and its premiere. [14] This is primarily attributed to the filming of the season prior to season 31's broadcast and the delays on the 2019–20 television season as television production was suspended following the COVID-19 pandemic. CBS first announced on April 13, 2020, that the season would originally premiere with a two-hour special on May 20, 2020, taking over the Wednesday slot of Survivor: Winners at War part of the 2019–20 TV season. Following this, the show would have returned to the standard one-hour episode format. [15] However, on April 29, 2020, CBS announced that it was postponing the premiere until later in 2020, and the freshman game show Game On! would assume Survivor's former timeslot. [16] The postponement was designed to allow The Amazing Race to replace shows scheduled in the 2020–21 television season whose production has not begun as a result of suspended television production following the COVID-19 pandemic. [17]
Outside of a message from Keoghan at the start of the first episode describing the timing of filming of this season relative to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season made no other changes or mention of the pandemic. Keoghan explained this choice was made by production to keep the show evergreen. [18]
This cast included former Carolina Panthers players DeAngelo Williams and Gary Barnidge, Olympic hurdlers Kellie Wells-Brinkley and LaVonne Idlette, professional volleyball player Riley McKibbin, [19] college basketball coach Jerry Eaves, [20] and America's Next Top Model cycle 21 runner-up Will Jardell. [21]
After Phil Keoghan announced to Will & James that they had won The Amazing Race, Will proposed to James, who accepted. [22] Will & James were married on December 3, 2021: the three year anniversary of their Amazing Race win and their engagement. [23] [24]

The Amazing Race 32 received mixed reviews. Andy Dehnart of reality blurred wrote that the season was "imperfect but thoroughly enjoyable" and that the biggest letdown of the season was the Mine Five alliance. [30] Justin Fedich of Screen Rant called the season a "standout" and praised the diversity in casting and the gameplay and engagement of winners Will & James. [31] Mack Rawden of CinemaBlend criticized seeing "an entire season controlled and ultimately ruined by an alliance". [32] Matt Roush of TV Insider criticized the answer-sharing among the "Mine Five" alliance saying that it felt like "cheating on a test" and that it "soured" the season. [33] [34] In response to criticism from critics and fans about answer-sharing among alliance members, Amazing Race co-creator and executive producer Elise Doganieri stated in an interview after the season that the show was considering challenge-specific rules to limit answer-sharing. [35] In 2024, Rhenn Taguiam of Game Rant placed this season within the bottom 13 out of 36. [36]

The Amazing Race 33 is the thirty-third season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around Europe to win US$1,000,000. Though filming started in February 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused production to be placed on hold for over a year and a half. The race resumed in September 2021 with most of the original teams and a modified route. This season visited two continents and seven countries and traveled over 22,000 miles (35,000 km) during eleven legs. Starting from several cities in the United States, racers traveled through England and Scotland before production was suspended. After reuniting in St. Gallen, racers traveled through Switzerland, France, Greece, and Portugal before returning to the United States and finishing in Greater Los Angeles. An element of the show that returned for this season was having teams start from their homes instead of a centralized location. The season premiered on CBS on January 5, 2022, and the season finale aired on March 2, 2022.
The Amazing Race 35 is the thirty-fifth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured thirteen teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world to win US$1,000,000. This season visited three continents and nine countries and traveled over 23,800 miles (38,300 km) during twelve legs. Starting in Los Angeles, racers traveled through Thailand, Vietnam, India, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden, and Ireland before returning to the United States and finishing in Greater Seattle. Elements of the show that returned for this season include the use of commercial flights, the Express Pass, and the U-Turn.
