The Amazing Race Season 36 Episode 01 Description
You Can’t Drive While You’re Crying
Thirteen new teams embark on the journey of a lifetime when host Phil Keoghan kicks off the 36th season of the CBS Original series THE AMAZING RACE. Teams begin in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where they participate in a traditional Mexican rodeo and try to lasso their way to the finish line without coming in last.
Teams set off from Playa El Salado in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and had to search the hotel parking lot for a car with their first clue. Teams then had to drive to the Malecón and find their next clue by the voladores pole.
Detour: Pick ‘Em Up or Pin ‘Em Down This season’s first Detour was a choice between Pick ‘Em Up or Pin ‘Em Down, each with a limit of seven stations. In Pick ‘Em Up, teams had to deliver a pair of rocking horses down a steep hill to the sculpture In Search of Reason in order to receive their next clue. In Pin ‘Em Down, teams had to watch a lucha libre match then pair up the masks of five luchador duos in order to receive their next clue.
After the first Detour, teams had to drive to the Lienzo Charro Miguel “Prieto” Ibarria, which had their next clue.
Roadblock: “Who’s feeling loopy?” In this season’s first Roadblock, one team member had to complete a charro challenge by jumping through seven spinning lassos in order to receive their next clue.
After the first Roadblock, teams found Phil, who told them that the leg was not over before handing them their next clue, at Plaza de Los Arcos del Malecón.

The Amazing Race Show Description
The Amazing Race is an American adventure reality game show in which 11 or 12 teams of two race around the world (except the Family edition which featured 10 teams of four). The race is split into legs, with each leg requiring teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by airplane, boat, taxi, and other public transportation options on a limited budget provided by the show. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs, while the first team to arrive at the end of the final leg wins the grand prize of US$1 million. As the original version of the Amazing Race franchise, the CBS program has been running since September 2001. Numerous international versions have been developed following the same core structure, while the American version is also broadcast to several other countries.
The show was created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster, who, along with Jonathan Littman, serve as executive producers. The show is produced by Earthview Inc. (headed by Doganieri and van Munster), Jerry Bruckheimer Television for CBS Studios and ABC Signature (divisions of ViacomCBS and The Walt Disney Company, respectively). The series has been hosted by veteran New Zealand television personality Phil Keoghan since its inception.
Since the inception of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program in 2003, The Amazing Race has won it ten out of fifteen times; the show has also won other awards and commendations. Although it has moved around several prime time slots since its inception, the program has averaged about 10 million viewers per season.
The series was renewed for a 33rd season, but filming on the season was suspended in February 2020 after three episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] With new COVID-19 precautions in place, the race completed filming from September to October 2021, and is set to premiere on January 5, 2022
