The 12th edition of THE AMAZING RACE left the starting gate with 13.8 million viewers, the largest premiere audience ever for the five time Emmy Award-winning reality show, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for Sunday, Nov. 4.

If the ratings hold, this is 60 MINUTES best delivery in households and viewers since November 19, 2006, in adults 25-54 since Jan. 14, 2007 and in adults 18-49 since Dec. 11, 2005.
