"The Amazing Race" Going Back In Time For Season 36

The 90-minute episodes are returning — but there's one thing that the show will be doing that it hasn't done before.

"Initially this season was not intended to be 90-minute episodes," said Phil Keoghan, host and executive producer of "The Amazing Race."

It was shot in 2022 under COVID protocols. Last year, when CBS super-sized "The Amazing Race" and "Survivor" into 90-minute episodes, the show went out and shot an entirely new season. Now, that previously taped season is airing.

"It means that we can go now, we could go back into the shows and just open things up a little bit more. See a little bit more of the relationships between the contestants but also learn a little bit more about where we are and why we're there," said Keoghan.
