The Amazing Race 4 is the fourth installment of the reality television show on US television The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race 4 featured 12 teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world. It premiered on May 29, 2003 and ended on August 21, 2003. Phil Keoghan leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2003. What keeps The Amazing Race Season 4 from feeling stale is a production that knows when to get out of the way.

Phil Keoghan is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. The kind of thing that generates strong opinions in every room it is watched in.
