Ep 1. Real Fast! Quack, Quack!

As the season 10 premiere of The Amazing Race begins, eleven teams make their way to Seattle's Gas Works Park. They are greeted by host Phil Keoghan, who lays out the ground rules for the race. The first team to make it to the finish line of this leg of the race will win an amazing prize and be safe from elimination. The last team to arrive will face elimination.

The teams race off to a nearby helicopter pad, where they are all given the same destination - a ferry heading to Seattle Center. Once they reach the ferry, the teams are free to choose their own paths to the finish line. Some teams opt for a taxi, while others use public transportation.

As the teams split up, the competition heats up. Teams race to complete a challenge involving a giant mechanical duck, which includes operating the duck's legs in order to cross a body of water. The teams are then directed to the Space Needle, where they must decipher a clue to reveal their next destination: a local fish market.

The teams race through the market, searching for a small fish with a clue hidden inside. Once they retrieve the clue, they head back to their waiting taxis and race to the next challenge. This involves navigating a "Zorb", a giant, inflatable ball, through a water obstacle course. The teams have to work together to balance on the rolling ball as they race through the water.

As the sun begins to set, the teams race to the finish line of this first leg of the race. One team, arriving six minutes after the first team, is eliminated. The remaining teams are excited to continue their journey, as they race around the world, competing for the ultimate prize and the title of The Amazing Race champions.

Overall, Real Fast! Quack, Quack! sets the stage for a thrilling season of The Amazing Race. The challenges are intense, the scenery is beautiful, and the competition is fierce. Fans of the show will not be disappointed with this season's premiere episode.
