The Amazing Race 12: Thoughts and Rankings

Season 12 of The Amazing Race is a major entry in the show’s history. It’s the first one to come after All-Stars, the initial follow-up to the show’s first era. As such, it made some major changes to the show’s format – changes that have persisted throughout the show’s history since then, if not always in their original form.

And it’s also one of the show’s most beloved seasons – commonly regarded to be one that revitalized the franchise and kept it going. As with any season, there will always be some people who don’t enjoy it, but the vast majority of TAR fans hold this season in high regard, and I’m no exception. We’ll delve into why the season is so popular in this post – but first, it’s worth noting that it had the potential to be a complete bust instead…

Note: As is standard for this series of blog posts, this post will contain spoilers for Season 12 and possibly earlier seasons as well, but will not spoil future seasons in the TAR timeline.
