2 Michiganders Will Vie For Top Prize On 'The Amazing Race'

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) - Eleven teams of two, including one team from Michigan, will embark on a journey around the world during The Amazing Race this season.

Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl, two friends from Jackson, are part of the trek around the world with the mission of being the first to arrive at secret location, unraveling clues along the way to a possible $1 million prize.

The teams are comprised of two people who have a pre-existing relationship with one another.

At every destination, each team competes in a series of challenges — some mental and some physical — and when the tasks have been completed, they learn their next destination.

Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning at least $1 million.

The season began on Feb. 12 - you can catch all the action on Friday night on CBS.
