The Amazing Race 7
season of television series
The Amazing Race 7 is the seventh season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world. This season visited five continents and ten countries, traveling approximately 40,000 miles (64,000 km) over twelve legs. Filming took place from November 20 to December 12, 2004. Starting in Long Beach, racers traveled through Peru, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Botswana, India, Turkey, England, and Jamaica, before returning to the United States, traveling through Puerto Rico, and finishing in Miami-Fort Lauderdale. New elements introduced this season include an expansion of the non-elimination leg penalty where penalized teams were stripped of most of their possessions. The season premiered on CBS on March 1, 2005, and concluded on May 10, 2005.
Married couple Uchenna and Joyce Agu were the winners of this season, while engaged couple Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich (of Survivor) finished in second place, and dating couple Ron Young Jr. and Kelly McCorkle finished in third place.

Why this record matters
The phrase “season of television series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q838562. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004 and 2005.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
