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).

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.
