The Amigo Race

 is the inaugural season of The Amigo Race and was produced on TBC, 2022.

The season borrowed elements from the CBS reality television show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Robert, the season consisted of twenty competitors divided into ten teams of two. TBC & TBC won the season.

Casting and Development
Inspiration of the season came during the first individual immunity challenge of whereby the winner of the challenge is given the distinction of naming the merged tribe. As the winner, Alejandro named the tribe after the Fijian word for "Amigo" after Robert jokingly voiced his disdain for the name with the remaining contestants suggesting an Amazing Race spin-off using the term. Following support to develop the season, Robert announced the new series on December 14, 2021.

Format
The Amigo Race features ten teams of two each with a pre-existing relationship "racing" around the world. Each season is divided into legs, with each episode outlining one leg which has three distinct competitions to complete in order to progress.


 * Route Info: A paired competition to denote where the team is headed from their current location to the Detour.
 * Detour: A choice of two tasks, teams are free to complete either one but once selected it cannot be changed. Completion of the task directs them to the Roadblock.
 * Roadblock: Completion of the task will direct them to the location of the finish mat.

At the start of the first leg, teams are given their Route Info publicly (though from the second Leg onwards is based on placement from previous legs), completion of each task provides them with a password that gives access to the next part of the race. The team that finishes in last place (or is still running the Race after all other teams have completed the leg) is eliminated.

As the game takes place on Zoom, teams are put into breakout rooms based on what section of the race they are running. This enables teams to potentially share information or mislead one another.

When three teams remain, they compete in a final leg to reach the finish mat. The first team to do so become the winners of The Amigo Race.

Twists

 * Partner Swap: At a pre-determined point in the race, teams will swap partners for one leg. At the Finish Line, the last placed team (and their original partners) will be at risk of elimination determined by a private vote. The team that receives the majority of the votes is eliminated. In the event of a tie, the team that finished first in the leg will break it.
