“The Amazing Race” kicks off Season 38 when former contestants from “Big Brother” join the race in the real world when 13 fan-favorite houseguests embark on a European adventure with their travel companion, on Thursday, September 25 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET/PT) on CBS.

For this season, it was fun to bring the former BIG BROTHER players out of the house and on an adventure in the real world, as the Race is a global triumph that continues to inspire and connect people all over the world.”
