The idea of a race around the globe has captured imaginations of since Jules Verne first wrote Around the World in 80 Days. That spirit of adventure inspired filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer to produce The Amazing Race, the popular CBS television reality show. For those who weren't able to watch it the first time or who want to relive the action, The Amazing Race was released on DVD. The premise of The Amazing Race is simple. Contestants, in teams of two, race each other around the globe. At each new location they visit, they have to unravel clues and perform outrageous tasks to discover their next destination. Each season brings new exotic locations, more challenging tasks, and more memorable teams. Two of the most popular seasons are now available on DVD. The season one Amazing Race DVD brings you back to where it all started. The adventure starts and ends in New York City, bringing the travelers full circle. Memorable contestants include the self proclaimed "Team Guido" of Bill and Joe, the "ugly American frat boys" Drew and Kevin, and the mother/daughter team of Nancy and Emily. All 13 episodes of the first season are here, including the double-length season finale. In addition, the DVD includes over 90 minutes of unaired footage. The seventh season was one of the series most popular to date. The complete seventh season Amazing Race DVD brings home every moment of the race, plus special features. Familiar faces such as Rob and Amber from Survivor and Joyce Aqu of Star Trek: The Next Generation shake things up in this highly-rated season. You can also enjoy audio commentaries on key episodes by the top four teams.
