TEAMS MUST NAVIGATE TO THE END OF THE EARTH AS THEY RACE TO SOUTH AFRICA, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 2," MARCH 20

"My Alarm Clock Didn't Go Off" -- Teams jet from Brazil to Cape Town, South Africa, where they must overcome cultural challenges and their own deepest fears to avoid elimination, on THE AMAZING RACE 2, Wednesday, March 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Nine teams make the treacherous journey from the jungles in Brazil to South Africa, where they must interact with locals at harbor and township communities. One team sleeps past its departure time while another must decide whether to awaken the rival team; one team helps another but falls behind, and several must overcome major obstacles en route to Cape Town. A third team is eliminated.

Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
