Synopsis
Runaway cheese wheels start off an unforgettable season of The Amazing Race. The eclectic cast facing this grueling course of 40,000 miles includes stuntmen brothers, flight attendants, a brother/sister team of Harvard lawyers, an accomplished screenwriter/producer/director/actor and his author father, former NFL cheerleaders, and the race's first ever deaf contestant and his mother.

From the frigid cold to the sweltering heat, teams must adjust to an Indian countryside that moves some to tears. An Olympic-themed challenge in Beijing leaves teams gasping for air. And a first-ever visit to Transylvania has teams racing outside "Dracula's Castle". With the final elimination looming, one team risks a bathroom break. Find out who will race to the end and who will win the 1 million dollar prize in this DVD set. SPECIAL FEATURE: Elimination Station
