ShowsThe Amazing RaceSeason 11

All Stars

The first full returnee season, with eleven teams pulled from the show's first ten years back on the starting line. The route ran through Central and South America, southern Europe and Asia, and the cast brought the kind of confrontational chemistry only history between players can produce. Phil Keoghan hosts a field that already knows the rhythms of the format. Every later returnee event in the race canon answers to the template set here.

01The take

The template every returnee follows.

02Where it sits in the canon

The #02 slot.

Slot #02 of 38 in the Amazing Race Editor's Canon. All-Stars is the race's first full returnee outing, and the canon rewards it for setting the template every later returnee event borrows from. Eleven teams the audience already had relationships with came back to a Miami start, and the chemistry the editing captures is the kind only prior race history can produce. The route runs through Central and South America, southern Europe, and Asia, with the pacing visibly tighter for a returnee field that knows where the airport queues actually slow them down. The canon places it second because every later all-stars hour the franchise has tried lives in the shadow of this template.
