The dancer couple, Luis Colon and Michelle Burgos, are all set to participate in The Amazing Race 2022 on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at 10 pm ET on CBS along with 11 other contestants to win a $1 Million cash prize.
In season 34, a total of 12 teams will travel to a number of new countries, including Spain, Iceland, Austria, Italy, France, Nashville, and more. The synopsis of the show reads:
“The show also visits the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan, where teams will ride a train and experience a scene reminiscent of the 1963 Oscar-winning film "Lawrence of Arabia," perform a Jordanian folk dance and learn the Arabic alphabet. Also, for the first time in THE AMAZING RACE history, there will be no non-elimination legs.”
It further adds:
“With one team being eliminated at the end of every leg, it will be one of the most grueling races in the show's history and teams will be in for a surprise when host Phil Keoghan teases a game-changing element in the first leg of the race.”
