Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum age requirement?

Applicants must be 21 to apply.

YES. As of now, Canadians are not eligible.

When will I find out if I make it to the next round of casting?

We are once again accepting submissions. These will be considered for the 2012-2013 casting season. Calls will most likely go out in May and June, 2012 

Will I be contacted regardless of whether or not I make it to the next round?

Due to the large amount of submissions, we are unable to contact each person individually.

The filming dates for the season we are casting are early November, 2012 - mid-December, 2012.

I have applied before, do I need to fill out another application and submit another video?

Yes. After we cast each season, those tapes and applications go into storage and you need to re-apply and re-submit a new video each season.

Can I apply with the same person as I applied with before?

Yes.

Can I apply with a new person, even if I have applied with someone else in the past?

Yes.

Can I apply more than once this season, with several different teammates?

You can, however we advise that you pick the person that would make the best and most interesting teammate. This is a show about relationships, as well as a race around the world, so your teammate should be someone close to you, probably not the co-worker that you have only known for 3 months.

Please ensure your video is less than 30MB and in one of the following file formats : mpg, mpeg, flv, avi,
