The Amazing Race (2001)
S04E01 Cheaters Never Win --- And They Cheated!
Episode Overview
The fourth season kicks off with twelve teams, starting at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. They hastily make their way to LAX, racing to secure tickets on one of three airlines. Swiss Air and Lufthansa are set to leave simultaneously, but Swiss Air will arrive in Milan a full forty minutes earlier. KLM departs an hour later, accommodating the remaining teams. Steve and Josh, looking to forge an alliance with Steve and Dave (the air traffic controllers), purchase tickets for them, which bumps Monica/Sheree and Chip/Reichen off the Swiss Air flight and disrupts their position in line. This sparks allegations of cheating among the competitors. Upon reaching Milan, teams must hunt for their first clue: bus tickets hidden throughout the Galleria Vittoria, a pedestrian mall. There are three departure times available: 2 AM, 4 AM, and 6 AM. Teams are then transported to the Dolomites.
