New Travel Realites add tension to Amazing Race 2. Check out the article.

ALSO HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE SHOW....
Most reality game shows aren't worth playing once, let alone twice. Tonight, CBS relaunches one of the rare exceptions: The Amazing Race (10 ET/PT), an entertaining round-the-world scramble that nonetheless failed to dazzle viewers the first time around.
Certainly, the show doesn't waste any time getting the race underway: After a quick introduction, the 11 two-person teams are flying down to Rio, the first of many scenic splendors to come.
As for the teams, they immediately begin the bonding and bickering required by the reality-show formula. I do wish this second Race hadn't followed its own formula so slavishly; the casting is a near mirror image of the first, right down to the not-so-bright New Yorkers, the separated couple, the mother-daughter pair and the prissy gay team. Still, at least this show has a few ideas that merit repeating, which puts Race, if not in front of Survivor, into solid second place.
