THE FINAL THREE TEAMS RACE TO THE FINISH LINE FOR THEIR CHANCE AT THE ONE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE, ON THE FINALE OF "THE AMAZING RACE 10," SUNDAY, DEC. 10

"Say Your Deepest Prayers Ever" -- The final three Teams race to the Finish Line for their chance at the One Million Dollar Prize, on the finale of  THE AMAZING RACE 10, Sunday, Dec. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The final three Teams depart Spain and travel to France, knowing that every decision they make is crucial in this final leg of the Race. One Team gets left behind when the other two Teams discover and board an earlier train to their next destination.  Once they arrive, Teams battle it out in a tedious Detour that causes frustration and arguments to ensue.  Teams must do everything they can in order to maintain their composure and finish the task in order to receive their next clue.  At the Roadblock, a 12,000 foot skydive causes a rift between team members that must be mended before they can move forward.  Teams battle it out in the final destination city in an all out effort to reach the Finish Line first and claim the One Million Dollar Prize.

Following are the 12 teams, listed in no particular order:

THE AMAZING RACE 10 features 12 Teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days.  At every destination, each Team will compete in a series of challenges -- some mental and some physical -- and only when the tasks have been completed will they learn their next destination.  Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first Team to arrive at the final destination winning $1 million.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are the executive producers for Bruckheimer Television and Earthview Inc., in association with Touchstone Television and Amazing Race Productions.  THE AMAZING RACE was created by Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri.
