| It's almost here! The Emmy Award-winning Amazing Race returns for its 12th season on CBS this Sunday evening, November 4, at 8 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas.

| Filed under: OpEd, The Amazing Race, Episode Reviews(S12E02) Now, The Amazing Race is one of my favorite shows, but tonight's episode leaned towards something which doesn't thrill me too much whenever they do it.
