DVD Reviews of The Amazing Race: The First Season
DVD Review: Worth the investment to see how it all began!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a HUGE Amazing Race fan. That said, it should be noted that I was late to the Amazing Race party, finding it during the 4th season. I'd give it 5 stars, but the actual race was in need of formatting changes for future seasons so it's not quite as enjoyable to watch as others. It is interesting to watch the first Racers work to establish "Race" ethics and strategy. In the wake of Survivor, these folks had nothing else to consider in terms of preparing themselves mentally and physically for the challenge. I wish that the producers would release the other early seasons so that those of us who came late to the party can get caught up!
Incidentally, if you're an Amazing Race fan.. check out the book devoted to the history of the show called "My Ox is Broken". If you're anything like me, and have missed some seasons, this book will help fill in some of the gaps and explain a little bit more about how the formatting of the show has evolved.
DVD Review: finally got it before Chinese New Year 2009, good
Summary: 5 Stars
I love it because I am fond of reality TV series.
The Closed Caption function is such a good way to read and understand for non-native English speakers. Thanks.
Want more seasons of The Amazing Race DVDs to be sold on Amazon.com
DVD Review: It really worth it.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Amazing Race, by far, is the best reality show, period. Having the chance to watch the season one episode after the other is a real pleasure. Besides, it includes a lot of unaired scenes and inside thoughts never released. A negative side, they put only the finalists picture on the cover, so you already know who's going to be eliminated. But, if you don't look at the cover anymore, you won't be exposed to that unfortunate clue. Trust me, you will enjoy it.DVD Review: Amazing show filled with thrills, adventures & inspirations
Summary: 5 Stars
An 'amazing' show that has more exotic locations than a James Bond movie. The numbers of 'hard to believe' scenarios, real emotions and pains that the contestants endured will keep audiences on their seats from day one to the finishing line. We have so much funs and laughs watching them racing around the world that we felt like being part of the game. Love the first season of this show. A true credit to reality show. Can't wait to get the other seasons too.DVD Review: amazing race season one

this product was in excellent condition exactly as advertised. It was shipped on time. I would purchase from this seller again.
Description of The Amazing Race: The First Season
The premiere season of THE AMAZING RACE sees 12 teams race around the globe to 'amazing' locations including Thailand, China, Tunisia, India, Italy, France, Alaska and Zambia for a $1,000,000 prize in the end."A race like no other in history," Jerry Bruckheimer's Emmy magnet begins (and ends) in New York with 11 teams of 22 competitors. In the end, only one team will be left standing. Their prize? One million dollars. To win, they will have to travel the world using clues, a modicum of cash, and their minds. Patience, endurance, and a sense of direction certainly won't hurt (plane tickets, fortunately, are prepaid).
The 2001 season is divided into 13 episodes (including two-part finale "Race to the Finish"). Instead of Immunity, there are Fast Forwards. The first team to find one goes straight to the next Pit Stop (rest area), bypassing any Roadblocks (tasks) left in the leg, while a Detour is a choice between two tasks. Some of the more hair-raising stunts include bungee jumping in Zambia ("The Race Begins") and beetle-munching in Beijing ("Fight to the Last Minute"). Other exotic ports of call include Paris, Rome, Tunis, New Delhi, and Bangkok.
From the start, certain teams assert themselves--and not always in the most positive ways. They include bickering (and nauseated) couples Paul and Amie (recently engaged) and Lenny and Karyn (dating), separated parents Margarita and Frank, and 14-year life partners Bill and Joe, AKA Team Guido (a name inspired by their dog). Other contestants include friends, roommates, grandparents, working mothers, and law partners. The road ahead will be long. Some partnerships will be strengthened by the journey. Others will be weakened. As with Survivor, alliances will be formed, like mother/daughter duo Nancy and Emily with self-proclaimed "Ugly American" frat brothers Kevin and Drew. (The Guidos uncharitably dub the latter "the fatties," while Kevin and Drew dub them Bert and Ernie.) The Amazing Race is hosted by low-key New Zealander Phil Keoghan. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
