The Amazing Race 31 (also promoted as The Amazing Race: Reality Showdown[1]) is the thirty-first season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each consisting of former contestants from CBS's flagship reality shows, Big Brother, Survivor, and The Amazing Race, competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited four continents and ten countries and traveled over 25,000 miles (40,000 km). Starting in Hermosa Beach, California, racers traveled through Japan, Laos, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, Uganda, Switzerland, Croatia, the Netherlands, and England before returning to the United States and finishing in Detroit. A new twist introduced in this season was the U-Turn Vote. The season premiered on CBS on April 17, 2019, and the season finale aired on June 26, 2019.
All three of the final teams consisted of returning players from previous seasons of The Amazing Race. Life partners Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, who had competed on The Amazing Race 5, were the winners of this season. Best friends Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, who had competed on The Amazing Race 28, finished in second place; and cousins Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, who had competed on The Amazing Race 23 and The Amazing Race 24, finished in third place.
Production
[edit]Development and filming
[edit]On June 10, 2018, Phil Keoghan announced on the show's social media accounts that the season had begun filming and that the teams would be composed of contestants from CBS's reality competition programs.[2] On June 30, teams were spotted at the Nieuwe Toren in Kampen, Netherlands.[3][4] On July 3, filming concluded in Detroit, which featured a performance of The White Stripes' single "Seven Nation Army" that was originally planned to be set in Belle Isle Park. However, the permit was denied as the Michigan Department of Natural Resources had not been informed about the large gathering of musicians needed for filming.[5]
The Amazing Race 31 traveled over 25,000 miles across four continents and ten countries, including first-time visits for the American edition to Uganda and Laos.[6] Laos was previously visited on the fourth season of The Amazing Race Vietnam.[7]
The Head-to-Head returned this season after it was introduced in the previous season.[8] This season is also the first to utilize the U-Turn Vote, which has been previously utilized by the Israeli, Chinese, Australian, and Filipino versions of The Amazing Race.[9]
Casting
[edit]On May 4, 2018, a TMZ article reported that former Big Brother HouseGuests had been asked to compete on the upcoming season of The Amazing Race.[10] Later that day, Andy Dehnart posted that former Amazing Race contestants had also been contacted for the same season.[11] Martin Holmes from Inside Survivor then posted that former Survivor contestants were also in the mix.[12]
- Eric Sanchez and Jeremy Ryan from season 9 were contacted and agreed to participate, but were ultimately cut when the show decided to include Big Brother and Survivor teams.[13]
- Justin and Diana Scheman (née Bishop) from season 27 were originally selected, but declined the invitation due to Diana being pregnant.[13]

Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]The Amazing Race 31 received mostly positive reviews. Andy Dehnart of reality blurred called this season dull, writing that "TAR can still deliver beautiful cinematography and entertaining moments, like Rupert talking to an elephant, but the structure of the legs constantly undercuts any actual racing by evening up the teams."[38] Jodi Walker of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "more reality TV competition cultures in the mix made for a little more drama than usual."[39] The "Purple Rock Podcast" praised the cast, strong racing, and overall story saying that "this experiment paid off accordingly."[40] In 2022, Rhenn Taguiam of Game Rant ranked this season as the second-best season.[41] In 2024, Taguiam's ranking was updated with this season remaining as the second-best season.[42]
Critics were also positive towards the growth of Colin & Christie compared to their previous appearance. Tamara Grant of CheatSheat called it "a true redemption arc because of their behavior on Season 5."[43] Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly called it the "most radical reality show transformation ever."[44]
