TEAMS FACE A DIFFICULT DETOUR IN OMAN, WHICH REQUIRES THE RACERS TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH SEVERAL ORNERY CAMELS, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT
"Here Comes The Bedouin" -- Teams face a difficult Detour in Oman, which requires the racers to get up close and personal with several ornery camels in order to receive their next clue, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Wednesday, April 19 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Right out of the Pit Stop, one Team erupts into a war of words and insults. Then, Teams encounter a true roadblock on the Race when they come across a flooded road allowing them a chance for a unique interaction with a kind local who comes to their rescue. Meanwhile, a lonely duo entertains themselves by invoking the ghosts of previously eliminated teams, doing hilarious impersonations of each to help pass the time.
THE AMAZING RACE is now broadcast in a new timeslot on Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). THE AMAZING RACE has won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Reality Program.

THE AMAZING RACE 9 is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan. The show features 11 teams of two on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days. At every destination, each team of two will have to 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.
