FRUSTRATION MOUNTS WHEN TEAMS HAVE DIFFICULTY SEARCHING FOR A CLUE BURIED INSIDE THOUSANDS OF RUSSIAN NESTING DOLLS, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT

"I Am In Russia Playing With The Dolls" -- Frustration mounts when teams have difficulty searching for a clue buried inside thousands of Russian nesting dolls, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Tuesday, March 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Teams take an exhilarating ride across a 300-foot zip line in Brazil in order to receive their next clue instructing them to fly to Moscow, Russia. While on the zip line, one racer's nerves get the best of her. A deep water phobia paralyzes another racer who is afraid of drowning during a challenge and, encouraged by the other teams, another racer jumps off a high dive despite their inability to swim.

THE AMAZING RACE is broadcast on Tuesdays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). THE AMAZING RACE has won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Reality Program.

THE AMAZING RACE 9 is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan. The show features 11 teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each team of two will have to compete in a series of challenges -- some mental and some physical -- and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Television and Earthview Inc., in association with Touchstone Television and Amazing Race Productions. THE AMAZING RACE was created by Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri.
