The Amazing Race 12 was the twelfth installment of US reality television show The Amazing Race. It featured 11 teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world.
The 12th season premiered on November 4, 2007 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. It took the timeslot of the canceled CBS series Viva Laughlin. The finale aired on January 20, 2008 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Newly dating couple TK Erwin and Rachel Rosales were the winners of this season.
A DVD for this season was released on March 24, 2014, via Amazon's CreateSpace program.
In May 2007, CBS confirmed The Amazing Race was picked up for a 12th season. It was originally to be scheduled in the mid-season of the 2007–08 TV season. However, when Viva Laughlin canceled in October of the same year, The Amazing Race 12 started early to take the time slot.
The Amazing Race 12 spanned 30,000 miles (48,000 km) in 21 days, making it the shortest Amazing Race course since the Family Edition of season 8. The race covered four continents, visiting ten countries (five of which were not previously visited by the series), while traveling entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. The newly visited countries were Ireland, Burkina Faso, Lithuania, Croatia and Taiwan (Republic of China). This was the first time the former Yugoslavia was visited on the race. Also, for the first time, the finish line was not in the continental United States.
The shortened filming schedule was initially attributed, in part, to the removal of non-elimination legs, which would have been a first on the Race. However, host Phil Keoghan told Kynt & Vyxsin in Leg 7 that there were two non-elimination legs in this race. Most seasons without "To Be Continued" or "superlegs" have four non-elimination points. With this race only having two non-elimination legs, the number of episodes was reduced by two.
