“The Amazing Race” continues its globe-trotting adventure this Wednesday, landing in Strasbourg, France. But forget romantic strolls along the canals – this leg of the race features a head-to-head water jousting competition. Yes, you read that correctly. Teams will trade in their running shoes for paddles and try to knock each other into the drink.
“Up the River Without a Joust” sounds like a contradiction, but it’s just the kind of quirky challenge that keeps “The Amazing Race” fresh after 36 seasons. This group of racers, hailing from all walks of life, will need to draw on their street smarts and competitive spirit to stay afloat, both literally and figuratively. With a race of a lifetime on the line, tensions are sure to run as high as the spray from the jousting poles.
“The Amazing Race” airs Wednesday, May 7th at 9:30 PM ET on CBS (and streams on Paramount+).
