In one of its wisest moves yet, Amazing Race 28 stays relevant to its
audience by featuring 11 teams of YouTube, Vine and Instagram stars in pursuit
of the $1 million pot.
See your favourite online celebrities cross over to traditional “boob tube” as they
begin the race from the symbolic spot of Monumento ala Revolucion in Mexico
City and travel around the world.
The 28th installment of this iconic reality show franchise began
filming last November 15, 2015, with host Phil Koeghan live streaming a blow by
blow account of what was happening (in true digital age style).
Known to be one of the pioneers of the revolutionary reality show genre,
Amazing Race has won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Reality-Competition
Program more than any of its competition in that category.
