RALEIGH HAS A NEW REASON TO

WATCH REALITY TV THIS SPRING.

DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

THE POINT THEY'RE AT RIGHT NOW.

THEIR TEETH.

PLAY THROUGH ALL KINDS OF CRAZY

INJURIES.

BEHIND THE PLAN TO GET THEM ON

THE AMAZING RACE.

SHOT.

MADE THIS AUDITION VIDEO, MAKE

THEIR CASE.

THEY LEARN THEY'D WOULD BE ONE

THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 30

YEARS, 35 YEARS.

ATHLETES THAT HAVE A

COMPETITIVE STREAK.

WHETHER THEIR WILL IS ENOUGH TO

WIN THE $1 MILLION PRIZE...

NOBODY KNOWS THIS IS THE

BIGGEST SECRET IN THE WORLD.

EVERYONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO

WATCH TO FIND OUT.

THE SCOOP THERE.

THEY ARE UP AGAINST ROLLER

DERBY MOMS, TWIN DOCTORS, AND

SOME COUNTRY SINGERS TO NAME A

FEW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, GUYS?

RACE?
