THE COMPETITION IN THE RACE HEIGHTENS WITH ONLY SEVEN TEAMS REMAINING, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 2," APRIL 3

The race intensifies as all of the remaining teams find themselves on the same airplane to Thailand, on THE AMAZING RACE 2, Wednesday, April 3 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Teams fly more than 6,000 miles from the deserts of Namibia to the exotic streets of Bangkok, Thailand, where they encounter a puzzling maze of cultural challenges. En route, tensions between two teams reach a boiling point.
