Season chronology |
The Amazing Race Norge 1 is the first season of the Norwegian reality television series The Amazing Race Norge. It featured eleven teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win 500,000 kr and a Subaru XV for each team member for a total worth of 1,000,000 kr.[2][3]
The show was presented by football-player Freddy dos Santos and was produced by TV 2 and the television production company Rubicon TV.[1]
It premiered on 11 April 2012 at 20:00 (CEST) and aired twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday. The finale aired on 30 May 2012 at 21:40 (CEST), with a special Highlights episode on 3 June.
Brothers Morten and Truls Bjerke from Bodø were the winners of this season.
TV 2 greenlit the first season of the series in October 2011.[2] Filming for this season started on 9 January 2012.[3]
This season used various colours for route markers; yellow and red, yellow and white, and yellow and green, whereas in the original version, a single colour scheme is used.
The non-elimination penalty was called a Handicap (Handikap). It affects teams by making a certain task in the next leg harder for the team or by giving a penalty. For example, in the second leg, Martha & Elise had to make 75 dung cakes instead of 50 and make a higher stack of dried dung cakes than the other teams in order to receive their next clue. In Leg 10, the team was required to do both Detours.
This season was the first international spin-off (and second edition to date) in which the location of the Starting Line was also the location of the Finish Line: Holmenkollbakken. The other edition to do so was the ninth season of the original version.
Applications were accepted from 11 October 2011 and ended on 31 October 2011.[2]
Episodes 11–13 switched from the show's regular scheduled air dates and times slots for a football championship.
The season's sponsors include Hotels.com, Nordea, Proffice, and Subaru.
Each team were given a video camera before the competition. Teams could record a video diary during their free time, travels between destinations, or record reflections about the leg, or even events after checking into the Pit Stop.
