Race the World (Chinese: 非凡搭檔; pinyin: Fēifán Dādàng) is a Chinese reality television series that aired on Jiangsu Television in 2016 that features twelve contestants that formed teams of two in a race around the world to win a grand prize of ¥500,000 and a lifetime usage of an Infiniti Q50L.[2]

Production

Development and filming

[edit]
Beijing Yanqi Lake International Convention & Exhibition Center, where world leaders gathered for the APEC China 2014, on the banks of Yanqi Lake served as the Starting Line for Race the World.

Race the World drew on the format of the series The Amazing Race, with tasks and obstacles similar to Detours and Blind Detours, Yields, Intersections, and Head-to-Heads included in the show, and included themes of the Olympic Games to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics, airing the same year as The Amazing Race China 3 which had a similar theme. Like The Amazing Race, the show featured teams of two in a race around the world to win a grand prize. Teams had to complete various challenges to receive clues sealed in a relay race baton to reach an end point. Unlike The Amazing Race, the teams of two were shuffled every two legs with the goal of testing different partner dynamics during the run of the series with contestants choosing their partners much like The Amazing Race 29. Also, the team that completed all of the challenges in a leg and reached the final destination first would win 100 points. When subsequent teams reached the final destination, they would earn one less point for every two minutes they finished behind the lead team. After nine legs, the eight individuals with the most points would remain with the four individuals with the lowest scores eliminated. The teams would then reshuffle for the final time to complete the final legs.

On March 3, 2016, the cast and premise of the show were announced in a press conference.[3] Filming for the series ended on May 14 in Nanjing. After filming ended, contestant Baron Chen was discovered traveling to Taiwan to receive medical treatment for a torn cruciate ligament. The following month, Chen's agent threatened a lawsuit with the show's production company over delayed insurance compensation.[4]

After Leg 1 ended, Sheng Yilun discovered that he had lost his passport and was unable to compete in the United States legs.[5] Harry Yuan was brought in as a substitute so all racers could compete with a partner but was not eligible for the grand prize.

Cast

[edit]

The cast of Race the World consisted of Chinese celebrities including Taiwanese actor and model Baron Chen, Taiwanese model, actor and singer Joe Cheng, Taiwanese actress Evonne Hsieh, Hong Kong actor Leon Lai, Taiwanese actress and singer Ariel Lin, short track speed skater Wang Meng, actor Daddi Tang, pop singer and actor Vision Wei, gymnast Li Xiaopeng, professional pool player Pan Xiaoting, actor and model Sheng Yilun, and actress and singer Zhu Zhu.[6]

Li Xiaopeng previously competed on the first season of The Amazing Race China with his wife Li Anqi in 2014. Zhu Zhu and Harry Yuan competed on separate teams on the second season in 2015. A year later, Joe Cheng and Evonne Hsieh competed on separate teams on The Amazing Race China 4.

Marketing

[edit]

Infiniti, which previously served as a sponsor on the Chinese Amazing Race, served as the primary sponsor of Race the World and provided all of the cars during the legs.[7]
