The Head-to-Head Is a Brilliant Twist to 'The Amazing Race

The Amazing Race has run for a remarkable 30 seasons. In that long time,The Race hasn't changed too much, both in format and rules. The game is largely the same in season 30 as it was in season 1. This is what made it rather surprising when The Amazing Race introduced a brand-new twist in the second episode of season 30, the Head-to-Head. The Head-to-Head saw the team stop right before the Pit Stop and engage in a face-off that they had to win before they finished the leg. While the Head-to-Head maybe isn't something that should be used every leg, it was a terrific way to spice up the competition.
