At each leg there is pit stop. Generally the last team to arrive will be elimated from the comptetion.
The prize? $1,000,0000 to the winning team.

The Amazing Race is better reviewed than other reality television shows and has won an Emmy award for Best Reality TV show.

It's better than Survivor because:

Amazing Race: Get to go around the world in many days
Survivor: Around an island in 29 days
Amazing Race: 6 Continents, many countries, many cities, thousands and thousands of miles.
Survivor: 1 island, two shelters.
Amazing Race: Nice resting places
Survivor: Sand and sticks.

A group of 2-4 guys separately jack-off into a cup, then mix it all together, and put it in a turkey baster. It is then put into a consenting girl's vagina and dispensed. The guy's semen that makes its way to the egg the fastest and impregnates the girl, wins (to be determined with DNA tests). The loser(s) has to raise the winner's child. If there are 3 or 4 total "racers", the left over losers have to raise the child in turns (a schedule is created at the preference of the losers, like who gets the kid on certain weeks). When the kid turns 15, the losers have to do rock, paper scissors, and the loser of that has to tell the kid the magical story of how he was born...LET THE AMAZING RACE BEGIN!!!
My buddy thought he was more of a man than me, so I challenged him to The Amazing Race...he lost, hahaha, what a bitch

The ultimate contest of virility. Any number of male contestants deposit their seed into a cup, the contents of which are then swirled and loaded into a turkey baster. The course consists of a willing female participant, and the winner is determined 9 months later with the aid of a paternity test.
You, sir, may have an inch on me, but I dare say, my swimmers are stronger. I challenge you to the Amazing Race!

Same as The Amazing Race, just without the word "the". No one cares about using it as the first word in the title anyways.


(The) Amazing Race is better than Survivor because:

Amazing Race: Get to go around the world in many days
Survivor: Around an island in 29 days
Amazing Race: 6 Continents, many countries, many cities, thousands and thousands of miles.
Survivor: 1 island, two shelters.
Amazing Race: Nice resting places
Survivor: Sand and sticks.

Why the teams only fly around 6 continents and not the 7th one is because only researchers are down there of course.

The Best Reality TV Show there is. It beat Survivor in the Emmys countless times.
The Amazing Race is probably the only reason why I watch TV nowadays.

A contest usually held on special occasions such as 420 involving enormous quantities of pot, beer, and food. The pot is usually of cheaper quality due to pricing concerns and the fact that weaker pot will enable teams to smoke more, and only beer, no hard or malt liquor, may be drunk. The food usually consists of pizza, burgers, or similar fare, but it must all be the same type of food across teams for fairness reasons.

Several teams consisting of the same number of people (the more the better) are made beforehand. These teams will then compete to see who can smoke, drink, and eat the most, all at the same time. However, different chores can be spread out among different team members. For example, if somebody on one team is a tank when it comes to alcohol, but another person is a lightweight with beer but a regular stoner, the alcoholic may take on the stoner's beer load while the stoner takes on the alcoholic's weed load.

A team member is disqualified if they pass out, throw up, or voluntarily give up. The team itself may go on playing if members are disqualified until the team has no more viable members or runs out of things to eat, drink, and smoke. A team wins by either outlasting the other teams and being the last team with members playing, or by finishing a certain predetermined quantity of pot, beer, and food.

People can and do change the rules to better suit their preferences.
Guy #1: Hey it's 420! Know what that means?
Guy #2: What?
Guy #1: Joe is holding his annual amazing race!
Guy #2: Word
