Amazing Race 17| The Amazing Race Premiere Preview:

The 17th season of “The Amazing Race” kicks off with a bang, as the racers have to perform a road block where they slingshot watermelons. Unfortunately for home shopping host Claire Champlin, the watermelon comes straight back at her head. Ouch.

These 11 teams of two are racing around the world for a grand prize of $1 million. “The Amazing Race” premieres Sunday (Sept. 26) at 8 p.m. ET on CBS
