My friend, Jeff Smith and I sent in applications and a audition tape in February for The amazing Race 8 before we found out it was only open for family of four. Do we still have a chance for getting on the Amazing Race 9?

Hi Cathy, I checked the eligibility requirements and application procedure document and it says
“Unless you are applying with a new teammate, if you have previously applied for THE
AMAZING RACE (the “Program”) but were not selected as a participant, please do not
re-apply. We will not consider any new application or submission you may submit
unless you are applying with a new teammate.”
I think this means that you don’t have to submit your application.

How come the amazing race series only contains americans why are there no australians or other country nationals included.
June 1st, 2005 at 12:13 pm
Hi Art, that is the rules of the show. I have a feeling that since it’s an American production they would want to be only open to Americans.
I’ll cite you an example of The Rebel Billionaire, Richard Branson’s reality tv show ala The Apprentice. Even though he’s British and the show went around the world, all the contestants were American.
However, the creators of The Amazing Race are open to other countries buying the rights to the show to produce their own version of The Amazing Race.
June 5th, 2005 at 7:30 pm
I wonder if the australian broadcaster (Channel 7) would be interested in buying the rights for and Australian Amazing Race (I would certainly apply)!!!
June 6th, 2005 at 12:05 pm
How many members are required for the amazing race 9 application? Do they have to be related?
June 6th, 2005 at 12:09 pm
Are applications accepted from registered immagrants?
June 6th, 2005 at 7:01 pm
Dan: I’m not sure about whether there any Australian broadcast channels interested. I’ll have a look around and let you know. But I know that there are definately a lot of Australians who would love to participate. I get a lot of e-mails from Aussie fans asking if they can apply for The Amazing Race.
Amy: For Season 9, it’s back to 2 member teams. They don’t have to be related but they should have some prior connection, just like on other seasons. I don’t think registered immigrants (do you mean green card holders?) are allowed.
June 14th, 2005 at 7:40 pm
i think that maybe the americans are afraid of us aussies. i would certainly be open to a challenge if so called up for the amazing race. i already have a team .myself and my female boss at the local brasserie restaurant.
why can’t aussies be in it. i ask? is this discrimination? come on usa what do you have to loose but $1,000,000.00 cold hard cash!!!!!
June 14th, 2005 at 10:12 pm
The application says you must have proof of a valid passport or proof that you have applied for one…how do you show proof that you’ve applied for it?
June 16th, 2005 at 11:55 pm
Please I really really want something diffant this season. To be more fair to female fans and for a fun swist We should have the 9th season of the race be all Female teams of four just for a change I really want a female to have a fair change to make the fanail 3 teams and win. I love this show!
June 18th, 2005 at 9:16 am
Hey Jen, It probably means that you need to show a photocopy of your previous application so they can check if you applied or not
June 18th, 2005 at 9:03 pm
We sent in an audition tape for season 6 and obviously were not selected. We want to send in a new tape for season 9. The official TAR rules say you can send a letter stating you want them to disregard your previous audition tape. Anyone know if this is true or are they sticklers about absolutely not accepting any new applications unless you have a new teammate (which they also state in the rules)?? Seems kind of contradictory.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:38 pm
What about if you go to one of the open casting calls? Does that not count towards their ruling of not auditioning again with the same teammate??
June 19th, 2005 at 9:27 am
I think the rule on sending in a letter to disregard your previous application is if you don’t want the producers to consider your application at all.
If you do go to a casting call you can enquire if you can audition since you’ve already sent in a tape.
June 28th, 2005 at 10:48 pm
So, what about the audition tape? Do you know of what they are really looking for? What have past teams done on their tapes that made them stand out? Anyone know?
Thanks for the help.
July 13th, 2005 at 10:33 pm
I’m waiting for the reply of Colene’s question?
Mine is the same
Thank You
July 17th, 2005 at 10:19 am
Hey Phil, Colene.
I’ve looked around the net and the best place to see a sample of audition videos would at the CBS site for The Amazing Race 3.
The Bio of each team has a link to their audition video.
Here’s the link to Flo and Zach’s bio page: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race3/teams/bios/flo.shtml
Jonathan and Victoria of Season 6 also have their audition video up:

HI
My husband and I would love to audition or send in a casting reel. It is now the 24th of July and I was not sure if we had missed the boat.
Please let us know if we are still able to apply or send in a tape.
I have a website www.cathykleinberg.com
many thanks
July 26th, 2005 at 5:15 pm
Hi Cathy,
I suggest you check out your nearest CBS affiliate tv station to see if they will be holding a casting call. You might still be able to apply.
August 13th, 2005 at 2:15 am
Is this an official site for “The Amazing Race?”
August 14th, 2005 at 10:06 am
Linda this is not an official site. The official site is at CBS.com. This is a fanlisting and news blog
September 23rd, 2005 at 1:19 pm
When will the next casting call be held and where. My roommate and i are interested in auditioning for the next season but have not been able to find info on it.
Thanks

Hi,
I hear there’s rumors of an “all star” season 10 of The Amazing Race. No! They people they pick for those shows aren’t stars, they’re just people who have already had their chance at adventure! I’m really hoping they don’t do that becuase I just started watching the show and convinced my Brother-in-law to apply with me. What do you think? Will there be a ‘reality TV all star’ season 10? And do you think they’d have a brother and sister-in-law on the show? We’d be great! : ) Thanks.
October 18th, 2005 at 10:29 am
Hey Anna, right now those are just rumors. Nothing has been firmed out. A lot of fans are mixed on the idea of having an Amazing Race reunion.
October 21st, 2005 at 3:14 pm
Well I hope they don’t do that, I need a crayz adventure before I have kids! And you never said anything about a brother/sister in law duo. We’re pretty much just like regular brother and sister, I pretty much NEED to go on the show, and my sister and he could really use the money. If the producers are worried about “good tv” or something, I’m telling you, we’d rock! : )
October 31st, 2005 at 9:56 am
I can’t believe that Amazing Race is already working on Season 9. Time flies so quickly, huh.
November 15th, 2005 at 4:01 am
Where can we find out information about how to apply to season 10 if there isn’t going to ba and All Star .
November 20th, 2005 at 12:11 pm
I would also like to know where we can find out application information about the amazing race 10
November 23rd, 2005 at 11:31 am
When will you acccept applicatoins for season 10?
December 5th, 2005 at 10:48 am
My name is Anna, my husband and I would love to apply for season 10, but cannot find any information on it. Any idea when the application will be out or when it’ll be due? Also, where can we find alisting of the applicable casting calls? Thanks, Anna
December 28th, 2005 at 8:16 am
My husband and I are die hard amazing race fans. We would love any info you can give on season 10 or upcoming seasons. Also, we would love info regarding casting calls or anything else beneficial to us. Thanks so much.

I can’t play the audition tapes from season 3 on the CBS website. Any suggestions?
January 31st, 2006 at 1:08 pm
does anyone have examples of audition tapes?
February 16th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
Just curious, are there any rumour to the countries the Amazing Race will be visiting in Season 9?
February 17th, 2006 at 6:59 am
Ed C: Make sure you have RealPlayer installed.
Christy: I’ve got an example of the video my friend and I submitted for AR10.

Mind you that this was not the final cut. It is cheesy by design.
February 17th, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Although I think Chantelle from big brother is sexy, I think she wont last more then the usual 15 mins these fake celebs get.
June 21st, 2006 at 8:18 pm
Hello, cool site - nice navigation keep going do it! You will have them for our next
June 21st, 2007 at 11:44 am

Hello
Very interesting information! Thanks!
Bye
December 6th, 2007 at 7:10 pm
So when are they going to let Australians into the race. I can’t wait till they make an international race viewable to that country. It gets boring watching Americans all the time
