The Amazing Race: All-Stars features 11 Teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each Team will compete in a series of challenges - some mental and some physical - and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination. Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first Team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.
