Episode summary
After arriving at the Hoorn railway station, teams were first instructed to travel by taxi to IJsbaan De Westfries and compete in a game of ice bowling. One team member had to push their partner on a sled down an ice rink towards a set of bowling pins. The first team to get a strike won two Express Passes, one for themselves and one to give to another team, and the last team to finish was penalized with a Hazard. Kyland & Taylor won the Express Pass and chose to give Jas & Jag the other Express Pass. Jack & Enzo were penalized with the Hazard. Teams then traveled to Grote Kerk to begin the race with their next clue instructing them to drive to the port of Volendam.
The Hazard required Jack & Enzo to each eat a soused herring and later travel in a clog-shaped cargo bike to and from the Edam Cheese Market.
Teams had to travel by tandem bicycle to the Edam Cheese Market. There, teams had to catch 30 balls of Edam cheese being unloaded off of a boat, stack them onto a wooden carrier, and deliver the cheese to a vendor to receive their next clue. Teams then had to return to the port of Volendam and drive to Van der Wilt Gerbera’s.
In this season’s first Roadblock, one team member had to search an expansive greenhouse for nine types of flowers and arrange them in a display box before receiving their next clue, which directed them to the Pit Stop: the Museumplein.

The Amazing Race Show Description
The Amazing Race is an American adventure reality game show in which 11 or 12 teams of two race around the world (except the Family edition which featured 10 teams of four). The race is split into legs, with each leg requiring teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by airplane, boat, taxi, and other public transportation options on a limited budget provided by the show. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs, while the first team to arrive at the end of the final leg wins the grand prize of US$1 million. As the original version of the Amazing Race franchise, the CBS program has been running since September 2001. Numerous international versions have been developed following the same core structure, while the American version is also broadcast to several other countries.
The show was created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster, who, along with Jonathan Littman, serve as executive producers. The show is produced by Earthview Inc. (headed by Doganieri and van Munster), Jerry Bruckheimer Television for CBS Studios and ABC Signature (divisions of ViacomCBS and The Walt Disney Company, respectively). The series has been hosted by veteran New Zealand television personality Phil Keoghan since its inception.
Since the inception of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program in 2003, The Amazing Race has won it ten out of fifteen times; the show has also won other awards and commendations. Although it has moved around several prime time slots since its inception, the program has averaged about 10 million viewers per season.
The series was renewed for a 33rd season, but filming on the season was suspended in February 2020 after three episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] With new COVID-19 precautions in place, the race completed filming from September to October 2021, and is set to premiere on January 5, 2022
