The Amazing Race 26 Will Feature Blind Date Couples and NKOTB Jonathan Knight (Video)

On the next season of the Amazing Race, 11 dating couples race around the globe! But for the FIRST TIME EVER, FIVE TEAMS will meet on the starting line. In other words, the craziest blind dates you can ever imagine.

Hm. That sounds like a pretty dumb premise. I’m not surprised the producers are going there. For instance, a show, Married at First Sight, that had couples meet for the first time on their wedding day, was a ratings success for the FYI channel.
