Unfinished Business Large

Back!


A bunch of teams pull a comeback this Sunday (12 February) for Season 18 of The Amazing Race, sub-titled "Unfinished Business".

It premieres on SONY at 19h45 and it's an All-Stars season, featuring racers from previous seasons who didn't manage to win the show. Disaster struck them in their season and cost them the race and now they're back for another shot, to finish what they started.

Those who return have been chosen from seasons 12 to 17. Season 11 was the first All-Stars season and featured racers from Season 1 to 10 so this time round things start at Season 12.

Here's a blow by blow of the teams, with the season they were on, where they finished and what their "unfinished business" is ...

Please note: if you've been watching the series on SABC3 and not on SONY then don't read on. Seasons 15 to 17 haven't aired on SABC3 yet and the team profiles include spoilers as to what happens to them in these seasons.
