Buckle Up for Non-Stop Action: Season 37 Promises More Twists Than Ever Before Including a Game-Changing Fork in the Road
Think you know The Amazing Race? Think again! Season 37 is being called the "season of surprises" and they are not kidding. Host Phil Keoghan himself is teasing "more big surprises than ever before" in every single episode. That is some serious hype.
One of the biggest new twists is the "Fork in the Road". In the very first leg teams will face this choice forcing them to decide between two completely different paths and routes to the Pit Stop. This is not just your average Detour folks this is a whole separate race happening within the race! Imagine the strategy the stress and the potential for major shake-ups right from the start.
And if that wasn't enough get ready for a double elimination. Yep in the premiere leg itself two teams will be sent packing. Talk about starting off with a bang! The stakes are higher than ever and you know the competition is going to be fierce from the get-go.
Meet the Teams: From Parents of Eight Sons to Longtime Fans 14 Teams Ready to Race for a Million Dollars
Season 37 is bringing in a massive cast with 14 teams all vying for that million-dollar prize. Among them is a super interesting couple from Utah – Scott and Lori Thompson. This Millcreek duo are parents to EIGHT sons! They are all about "doing hard things" as their family motto goes and The Amazing Race definitely fits that bill. Lori has even been trying to get on Survivor for years so these folks are clearly competitive spirits.
Scott is an ER physician’s assistant and Lori is a stay-at-home mom. They are self-proclaimed "super fans" of the show since way back in 2001. They even used to play along at home yelling at the TV about teams making "stupid" choices. Now it is their turn to put their money where their mouth is and see if they can handle the real deal.
Beyond the Utah parents expect the usual mix of siblings best friends dating couples and more. Each team is color-coded for easy viewing and the Thompsons ended up in pink after wanting green but being told it would mess with the green screens. Pink is apparently Lori's favorite color anyway so it worked out!
