Template:Infobox television Amazing Race
The Amazing Race Norge is the Norwegian version of the American reality show The Amazing Race. It was produced by TV 2 and the television production company Rubicon TV[1]. The show features eleven teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win NOK 500.000 and a Subaru XV for each team member.[2][3]
The host of the show is soccer player Freddy dos Santos.[1]
It premiered on 11 April 2012 at 20:00 (CEST) and airs twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday.
Production
Development and filming
TV 2 greenlit the first season of the series on October 2011[2]. Filming for this season started on 9 January 2012.[3]
The race uses various colours for route markers which are: yellow and red, yellow and white, and yellow and green, whereas in the original version, a single colour scheme is used.
The non-elimination penalty is called a Handicap (Handikap). It affects teams by making a certain task in the next leg harder for the team or by giving a penalty. For example, in the second leg, Martha and Elise had to make 75 dung cakes instead of 50 and make a higher stack of dried dung cakes than the other teams in order to receive their next clue.
Cast
Applications were accepted from 11 October 2011 and ended on 31 October 2011.[2]
