The Amazing Race season 25 episode 1, titled "Go Big or Go Home," marks the start of a new season with eleven teams vying for the million-dollar prize. As the teams gather at Times Square in New York City, host Phil Keoghan reveals the first challenge: teams must find a clue hidden among hundreds of miniature taxis in a nearby fenced area.

The teams, which include a pair of professional surfers, two dating fitness professionals, and a married firefighter duo, race to find the clue and head to their first destination: the United States Military Academy at West Point. Some teams, like the firefighters and the dating couple, struggle to find the clue amidst the sea of taxis, while others, like the surfers and the food scientists, manage to find it relatively quickly.

Once at West Point, the teams are faced with a Roadblock challenge: one member from each team must complete a rigorous obstacle course that includes rappelling down a wall, crawling through mud, and carrying a 50-pound sandbag up a steep hill. This challenge proves to be a physical and mental test for many of the racers, with some struggling to complete it while others breeze through it.

After completing the Roadblock, the teams are given their next clue and head to the next location: Whiteface Mountain in upstate New York. Once there, they are faced with a Detour challenge: "Sleds" or "Beds." In "Sleds," teams must complete a downhill sled course in under 47 seconds, while in "Beds," teams must deliver four mattresses and a bed frame to a nearby lodge.

The teams are split in their choice of Detour, with some opting for the physical challenge of "Sleds" and others choosing the more logistical "Beds." The sled course proves to be particularly challenging, with many teams struggling to complete it in the allotted time. Meanwhile, the teams delivering beds face their own challenges, including navigating through narrow streets and delivering the items without damaging them.

Once the teams complete the Detour, they are given their next clue and head to their next location: the Olympic Bobsled Track in Lake Placid. Here, they face their final challenge of the episode: a head-to-head competition on the bobsled track. The teams are paired off and must race against each other, with the losing team facing elimination.

The bobsled challenge proves to be a nail-biter, with some teams struggling to stay on the track and others managing to complete it flawlessly. The fate of the teams rests on this final challenge, with some facing elimination and others moving on to the next leg of the race.

Overall, The Amazing Race season 25 episode 1 sets the stage for an exciting and intense season, with teams facing physical and mental challenges in some of the most beautiful locations across the United States. With only one team being eliminated in this episode, the tension and competition are sure to ramp up in future episodes.
