Authors Note: I haven't actually managed to ever see a first episode of The Amazing Race, just subsequent episodes, so this is completely made up.

"I'm sorry Colonel, but there's no way we can get out of this. The diplomats from P3X 747 were exposed to some dubious television whilst they were here, and now they want to challenge just about everyone they can think of to an interplanetary "Amazing Race".

The gate rumbled to itself as SG1 gathered at the bottom of the ramp. Jack was still glowering, Sam and Daniel were quietly discussing a few last minor details with Dr Fraiser and General Hammond, and Teal'c was standing patiently, with his usual stoic expression on his face.
The gate kawooshed as the final chevron locked, and Jack turned to George as the rest of his team headed up the ramp and into the wormhole.
"Well, here goes nothing sir, I just hope the squids know we're coming."
George stifled a smile, "I'm sure everything will be just fine Jack. The Qantasian's will be keeping us updated as each leg of the race is completed, and we'll see you all back here at the end of it."
Jack humphed his displeasure, and headed up the ramp, waving his hand over his shoulder at his boss as he disappeared into the wormhole.

After their arrival on P3X 747, SG1 were shown to a large meeting room, where the other teams invited to participate in the race were gathering. So far 2 teams had arrived from the System Lords, Ba'al, Bastet, Osiris and Kali stood arrogantly at the front of the room, suspiciously eyeing off two teams of Tok'ra who were sitting primly on the left side of the room. Sam's face lit up as she saw that her father was one of the team members, and SG1 made their way over to join them.
"Sam!" Jacob greeted his daughter with a large hug, and then shook the hands of the remaining members of SG1. "I see you've been conned into this... adventure as well."
"Not by choice Jacob," Jack muttered sourly, "but I'm getting used to this sort of crazy thing."
As they talked quietly amongst themselves, another group entered the room, this one a formidable display of strength and independence. SG1 and the Tok'ra smiled with amusement as the guide nervously showed the Jaffa rebels to an area well away from the system lords.
"Do you think the Qantasian's know what they've gotten themselves into here?" Daniel wondered, "How much do they actually know about the Goa'uld anyway?"
Jacob's expression sobered as he considered Daniel's questions, "I don't know Daniel, but I'm thinking that this could be a very interesting experience for those of us involved. Just be careful."
The continued to watch in silence, as slowly the other teams gathered, until there were 12 teams from 6 represented worlds in the meeting room.
