As a result, CBS has recently begun accepting applications for The Amazing Race 7, with all mail-in applications due by a rapidly approaching deadline of August 11, 2004.

In addition to containing a completed application form. all mail-in applications must be must be accompanied by a three-minute videotape and proof of a valid U.S. passport. Perhaps due to the tight timeframe, the casting's regional semi-finalist interviews will only be conducted in six cities -- Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Final interviews will be conducted in Los Angeles in September or October, with filming scheduled to begin in or around November 2004.
