Amazing Race Suomi (English: Amazing Race Finland ) is a Finnish

reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Heikki Paasonen and following the premise of other versions in the Amazing Race franchise, the show follows teams of two as they race around the world. The show is split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins the grand prize of 30,000.[1]

The first season aired on Nelonen network on Saturdays at 19.30 pm local time and on the Ruutu streaming service starting on 30 September 2023.[2][3] The first two episodes and the finale of the first season were two-hour long specials, and the remaining episodes 90 minutes.[4] The season finale aired on 16 December 2023 simultaneously, at 19.30 pm on the streaming platform and TV channel.[5]

The Race

Route Markers

Route Markers are yellow and red flags that mark the places where teams must go. Most Route Markers are attached to the boxes that contain clue envelopes, but some may mark the place where the teams must go in order to complete tasks, or may be used to line a course that the teams must follow.

Clues

Clues are found throughout the legs in sealed envelopes, normally inside clue boxes. They give teams the information they need and tasks they need to do in order for them to progress through the legs.

  • Route Info (Reitti–Info): A general clue that may include a task to be completed by the team before they can receive their next clue.
  • Detour (Kiertotie): A choice of two tasks. Teams are free to choose either task or swap tasks if they find one option too difficult.
  • Roadblock (Tiesulku): A task only one team member can complete. Teams must choose which member will complete the task based on a brief clue about the task before fully revealing the details of the task.

Non-elimination legs

The teams may be punished for arriving last to the Pit Stop on a non-elimination leg. This could affect their placements next leg.

  • Speed Bump (Hidaste): The team that finishes last in a non-elimination leg may have to perform a penalty task at some point during the next leg. This task must be completed before the team is allowed to continue racing.

Reception

Critical reception

The show drew criticism for including

sustainable aviation fuel and rainforest reclamation at the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve on Borneo.[7] In addition, the production team planned a route in such a way to minimise air travel with alternative forms of transportation on land.[20] In total, all the contestants who reached the final leg travelled about 26,000 kilometres (16,000 mi) by airplanes, roughly corresponding to approximately two round trip flights from Helsinki to New York City.[21] On 14 September 2023, Nurminen, Pekonen and Modig stated at a press event that they understood the criticism and agreed to compete after learning about the flight compensations.[22]

Despite the negative social feedback, many Finnish television consumers were positive towards the first season's contestants with many praising the new and varied faces that have not been on reality television programs before.[23] The fast-paced action and comedic elements of the show were praised, and the Finnish version was very similar and relatable to its original American counterpart.[24] Even though the first season took place almost entirely in Southeast Asia and did not feature "flight drama", viewers were overall positive about how this huge format was made successfully in Finland and expressed interest for another season.[25]

According to Nelonen, the first season got a very respectful reception, with the program reach of the whole season reached the total of 2.9 million viewers from 4+ age group, if included all the streaming services and platforms. The average viewership for the season reached 429,000,[6] with season finale picking up the highest average figures of the season for a single episode: 580,000.[26] Prior to the season finale, the season was nominated for a Golden Venla Award in the category of "Competition Reality" and "Best Director(s)" (Jussi Korva & Olli Horttana),[27] that latter which won the award.[28][29]
