Tonight was the much anticipated starting leg of The Amazing Race, now in it’s 17th season. One thing this reality show guarantees is that there will be action, constantly. Oh, and every once in a while there is a close to severe injury (no one has been seriously injured though). Tonight we saw what happens when melons take their revenge!

It started off like any other Amazing Race. Phil Keoghan met with all the teams at the starting line, tonight’s was Glouchester, MA. There are eight pit stops that are elimination legs. There is also a new twist... the Express Pass. The winners of this first leg, win a free pass before or during any challenge they choose during the course of the race. This will definitely affect the race. When played, the team will be allowed to skip the challenge and head to the pit stop.
