The Amazing Race 32, Episode 1 Recap


Season 32 of The Amazing Race on CBS premiered on Wednesday, October 14th — starting out in Los Angeles just like in previous seasons. The next place on the show’s itinerary was a Caribbean country that aims to please in the beach department: TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO!

● Teams went to the town of Saint Augustine on Trinidad island, where they rolled empty oil drums quite a distance. Trinidad and Tobago is a producer, refiner, and exporter of various petroleum products while also pursuing clean, renewable energy options such as solar power.

● Teams then visited Swallow’s Beach on Tobago island, where they attempted to match their specific example of a painted fish decoration with another one having the same design and four-digit code — out of dozens of possibilities floating in shallow water.

Roadblock: Tobago’s Pigeon Point set the scene for a musical task. Teams played a segment of “Day-O” on a steelpan, which is the national musical instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. They had to replicate the song’s musical notes and (tried to) match the rhythm.

Pit Stop: Buccoo sports arena: home to goat racing! Team members sprinted with their assigned goat on a leash to reach the large rectangular Pit Stop mat.

● Episode 2 will begin in Bogotá, the national capital of COLOMBIA.
