Last time on The Amazing Race, teams traveled to Bavaria where they took part in all things Oktoberfest, including serving steins of beer, wearing lederhosen, and serenading each other with traditional Bavarian songs. Tyler Adams and Laura Pierson made a costly mistake when Tyler accidentally left his fanny pack in a car that they were leaving. Remember, people, no fanny packs left behind--especially when they have your money and passport!

In the end, Bergen Olson and Kurt Jordan Belcher, a blind date couple, were eliminated after Kurt convinced Bergen to endure a penalty by taking a cab. The duo's transportation troubles continued to haunt them, as did Bergen's feelings that Kurt didn't have his back, and they were eliminated from The Amazing Race. So who will take the lead on this leg of the race? Let's find out!

It's always a bit surprising when "The Amazing Race" is making its first appearance in a particular country, but Friday (April 10) night's episode will be the initial visit to Monaco for Phil Keoghan and company. [Actually, I can't say with any certainty that this is Phil Keoghan's first visit to Monaco. I just know it's his first visit with "The Amazing Race."] Check above for a HitFix exclusive clip of the couples dangling high above Monaco in a task that features both ziplining -- It feels like we've done that at least once already this season -- but also precarious wire-balancing.  Do not watch if you have vertigo! Check back later tonight for my full recap of Friday's episode, which is titled "Smells Like a Million Bucks." And this seems like a fair time to check in to see your thoughts on Season 26 of CBS' Emmy-winning favorite... For me, I'm appreciating the relative parity of the season. Jelani & Jenny may have won the first two Legs, but they've been middle-of-the-pack for the past few Legs. Mike & Rochelle...

Who do you think will be eliminated on this Friday's episode of "The Amazing Race"? Last week,  many of our savvy users correctly pegged Bergen and Kurt as the most likely to be axed. And that came despite this blind date pair having started the leg in first place.  -Break- This week, our odds favor that Rochelle and Mike will be the last to reach the finish line. Despite their first place finish in episode three, this dating couple has odds of 10/3 to be eliminated after being second last to the mat last week. The only way they could be saved if this is a non-elimination leg. And, according to a sizeable number of our users, that is the likely outcome of Friday's episode with odds of 4/1.  Who do you think will falter at this stage of the game? Make your predictions now and you could win our weekly prize...

The last leg of The Amazing Race elevated arguing to a whole new level. It was enough to make you cry in your beer as the teams squabbled during all the Oktoberfest activities. Bergen Olson and Kurt Jordan Belcher were so far behind that Phil had to come to a bus station to inform them that they had been eliminated.

Seven teams remain on The Amazing Race, but who will be packing their bags to head home? Let's take a look at why some teams are rising to the occasion, and others are going down in flames.

"The Amazing Race" returned on Friday (April 3) night and while I didn't exactly forget that the Emmy-winning series was back, I realized almost immediately during the pre-credit recap that I barely remembered anything about where we'd left things several weeks back. Bergen & Kurt won the last Leg? How the heck did that happen? Was anybody especially good? Was anybody especially bad? I know CBS had to air the Ncaa Tournament, but "The Amazing Race" isn't a hit anymore and this season has been a wobbly, albeit sometimes amusing, experiment. And pulling a struggling show in a unsteady season is a pretty dismal way to maintain momentum. Fortunately, most of what I was and wasn't liking about the season came back pretty early in Friday's episode, which was funny and entertaining in moments, but also exposed the absolutely worst case scenario for this blind dating season. [Full recap after the break...] I suppose one might think...

This season of "The Amazing Race" pits six long-term couples against five pairings of people that met at the starting line. And while three of the couples have been eliminated, all five of the "blind date" teams are still in contention. Which one of this quintet is your favorite? And do you think they will win the "Race"? Cast your vote in our poll at the bottom of this post. Then make your predictions as to what will happen on tonight's show and you could win our weekly prize of a $100 Amazon gift certificate and a place of honor on our reality TV leaderboards. It's fun and easy!  -Break- Of the four legs to date, only one has been won by a duo of long-term daters: truck stop duo Rochelle and Mike surprised even themselves with their first place finish in leg three. Legal eagles Jelani and Jenny won both...

After a three-week hiatus for the Ncaa basketball tourney, "The Amazing Race" is back this Friday to continue a season that has seen long-term couples pitted against blind date pairings. On the most recent episode (March 13), our savvy users correctly pegged Harley and Jonathan as the most likely to be axed. This long-time couple never recovered from starting the leg in last place. -Break- One of the blind date duo -- Bergen and Kurt -- surprised even themselves by winning that leg. However, according to our predictions, they are unlikely to make it to the mat first again this week. Indeed, we have them as the second likeliest team to be eliminated with odds of 4/1. Only another random pairing, Blair and Hayley, have better odds of being axed at 13/8.  Who do you think will falter at this stage of the game? Make your predictions now and you could win our...

I liked a lot of Friday (March 13) night's episode of "The Amazing Race," but maybe I didn't like it as an episode of "The Amazing Race," if you know what I mean. No? I really did find myself getting a kick out of all of the bickering couples, but I may just have been amused by how silly they made this season's twist/theme look. I enjoyed some of the things the pairs were getting to do, even though they didn't feel like "Amazing Race" kinds of things to do. And I found myself really rooting for the team that went home, even though I never felt for a second like they had any chance of cheating their fate again... More after the break... So for the third consecutive episode, the team that started the Leg in last ended the Leg in last and, for the third consecutive episode, that...

The last episode of The Amazing Race had something for everyone: romance, arguments, a proposal and the magic words "non-elimination leg." Harley Rodriguez and Jonathan Knight were the last team to reach Phil in Phuket, Thailand, but they are still in the game.

Matt Cucolo proposed to his girlfriend, Ashley Gordon, on the mat in front of a group of other teams. This celebration of love even prompted blind date couple Bergen Olson and Kurt Jordan Belcher to donate their Date Night prize to them. So who will take the lead on this leg of The Amazing Race? Let's find out!

Ooops. Somebody forgot to include the drama in Friday (February 27) night's episode of "The Amazing Race," which was edited with less of an exclamation point and more of an unconcerned shrug. Starting a whopping 29 minutes into the episode, teams started popping up at the Pit Stop and I expected Phil Keoghan to say something like, "Really? We're done?"  Instead, Phil was asking people things like, "Is there any romantic connection do you think?" Ladies and gentlemen... Season 26 of "The Amazing Race." There were good moments in Friday's episode, titled "I Got The Smartest Dude," but they didn't add up to anything, because by the time the eliminated team reached the Pit Stop, they'd been in last for the entirely time and they were just smiling and laughing and happy and ready to go home. And if they don't care, why should we? Let's get down to recapping business after the break.

"The Amazing Race" giveth and "The Amazing Race" taketh away.  Following a season that saw ratings drop on Fridays, "The Amazing Race" got a special Wednesday showcase after the "Survivor: Worlds Apart" premiere and with both long-running favorites instituting format twists this season, CBS was able to spare 90 minutes apiece for the two launches.  Longtime readers know that I'm pretty insistent that you need to have at least a 90-minute premiere for "The Amazing Race," because the effort to establish 11 teams of 22 players while also giving the necessary exposure to navigating around international locations and  for various challenges is almost impossible in only 60 minutes. I don't think "The Amazing Race" has ever had an entirely satisfying hour-long premiere. And the 90 minutes given to Wednesday's (February 25) "Amazing Race" premiere were enough to help me see some of the merit to the Blind Dating twist that gave us six teams of established couples,...

With 25 seasons and 15 Emmys under its belt, The Amazing Race is now letting love lead the way.

For its 26th season, the CBS reality competition has recruited 11 dating duos for its next race around the world.

The catch? While six of this year’s twosomes have been dating for quite some time, the remaining five teams have been paired up as “blind date” couples, meeting for the first time on the race and hoping that their instant chemistry (or lack thereof) can carry them to the finish line.
