KNOWING THAT THE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE IS WITHIN THEIR REACH,
THE FINAL FOUR TEAMS TURN UP THE INTENSITY,
ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT
"Man, They Should Have Used Their Fake Names" -- Knowing that the Million Dollar Prize is within their reach, the final four Teams turn up the intensity, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Wednesday, May 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Teams fly to Darwin, Australia and must wade through a crocodile-infested pool to receive their next clue. The Racers also perform an intense Roadblock which requires one teammate to perform a tandem skydive with a trained professional. This entire leg is full of foot races which culminate with a three-way sprint to the Pit Stop. Meanwhile, Teams continue to play head games with each other and one Duo takes the scheming a step further when they cancel all the cabs waiting for the remaining Teams.
THE AMAZING RACE is broadcast on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 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.
