The Amazing Race Teen Edition
is alike to the old-school, treasure hunt in which teams of two will be
racing around the shopping complex with other teams. Contestants strive
to arrive first at the end of each leg of the race to avoid the
possibility of elimination. Teams are progressively eliminated until
three teams are left; at that point, the team which arrives first in
the final leg is awarded a prize. The Amazing Race Teen Edition is
based on the popular five time Emmy Award winner reality television
show, The Amazing Race.
