The Amazing Race	comment	Emmy-winning Reality Show created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster and airing on CBS since September 5, 2001. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, the show could vaguely be considered the Reality Show version of Around the World in Eighty Days.Eleven teams of two peoplenote Though five seasons have featured twelve teams (Seasons 3, 4, 10, 15, and 34) and Season 35 had thirteen, while Season 8 featured ten teams of four go on a journey around the world, following clues and performing tasks in order to find their way to the designated Pit Stops; the last team to arrive is usually (but not always) eliminated.The most common types of tasks that the racers must perform along the way: Detour — "A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons." For Seasons 1-4, one route was typically shorter but harder (or scarier) to use while the other was longer but relatively easier. Starting with Season 5, it became more of a choice between two conflicting skill sets, such as brains vs. brawn, or something highly technical vs. grunt work. However, up until about Season 12, the tasks were still unbalanced enough that teams could easily see that one was much faster than the other. The producers got better at this after the first All-Stars, and it's now uncommon to see all the teams choose the same Detour. Season 25 featured the Blind Detour, where teams are only given the names of the tasks, and must travel to the task location before receiving instructions. Roadblock — "A Roadblock is a task that only one team member can perform", and the choice must be made with only a vague clue to hint at the task. As of Season 6, the rules specify that no one racer can perform more than a set number of Roadblocks, meaning the tasks must be split between teammates somewhat fairly. The non-participating teammate is in no way permitted to help with the task; should they even help verbally (regardless of whether the active partner listens or can even hear them), the team will incur a time penalty. Fast Forward — A special task that allows a team to bypass all other tasks and head directly to the Pit Stop. This is only awarded to the first team to complete the task, and teams are limited to one Fast Forward per race. The earliest seasons had Fast Forwards available on every leg, but due to the expense of setting them up they were cut back in Season 5 to only once or twice a season. Starting in Season 18 they might not appear at all, and seem to have been retired completely after Season 29. Yield/U-Turn — Introduced in Season 5, the Yield allowed one team to hinder the progress of another, forcing them to wait for approximately 30 minutes before they were able to continue. Come Season 12, it was replaced by the U-Turn, which is placed immediately before or after a Detour and forces the targeted team to complete both Detour tasks. Season 17 later modified this into the Double U-Turn, where two teams can each hinder a group behind them. Other variations include the Blind (or Blind Double) U-Turn (seen occasionally starting in Season 14), where the team(s) using it can remain anonymous; and the Must Vote U-Turn, which forces all the teams to vote at the beginning of the leg for who should be U-Turned at the upcoming Detour. The Yield was temporarily brought back for Season 32, but with a twist of finding a ten or twenty minute timer in leg two and then being able to use it once throughout the season. Speed Bump — Introduced in Season 12, this is a short penalty task for teams that place last in non-elimination legs (prior to this, non-elimination penalties involved the confiscation of money and possibly possessions, or a time penalty on the next leg if they did not come in first).A few seasons of the American show have had gimmicks applied to their setup: The Family Edition (Season 8), which expanded teams to four people (including kids) and limited itself to traveling North America. Three All-Stars seasons (Seasons 11, 18, and 24), bringing back several previous racers. S18 was titled "Unfinished Business" instead of "All-Stars" to hype up My Greatest Second Chance. Blind Date (Season 26), where all the teams are dating couples and half of them only met each other at the starting line. Season 29 (with no special title), a non-romantic expansion of the "Blind Date" concept where all 22 racers are strangers. Season 31 (again, no special title is given), a version of the "All-Star" casting that includes veterans from CBS' other major reality shows, Survivor and Big Brother, in addition to Race vets.The show has done well with both critics and fans, with the possible exception of the aforementioned Family Edition, which sacrificed exotic world locales and interpersonal drama for a competitive family road trip.The Amazing Race, like all reality shows, consists of a camera crew following the teams as they race across the globe; accordingly, for legal and political reasons, all participants must be U.S. citizens, and legally able to travel outside of the U.S. The show is much less frustration-wrought than, say, Survivor — less emphasis is placed on knocking the other team out of the proverbial race, which allows for a more 'relaxed' atmosphere while showcasing some of the absolutely gorgeous scenery and geography in many of the world's most exotic countries.Heck, it's even mildly educational, owing to the fact that some of the clues require calculation, riddle- and puzzle-solving, and a passing familiarity with the notable landmarks in a given country.Not to be confused with Amazing Freaking Grace, though that hasn't stopped some from making that pun anyway. Also not to be confused with TÃ¡r, in which an 'a' was replaced by 'Ã¡', and also it's not an acronym at all along with a regular viscous organic black liquid. (That is called "Tar".)

Since they couldn't film the fight in that section of the airport, the fight had to be told by confessionals from all three teams. From Caroline & Jennifer's POV, Rachel appearantly cut in front of them. From Rachel POV, she arrived at the customs first, and then Caroline accused her of cutting in front of them.

The Amazing Race / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: The Fast Forward. For the first four US seasons, there was one on every leg, in theory giving each team a chance at one free pass. However, for budgetary reasons (as it was not cost-effective to set up all those single-use tasks, especially when half of them never got used, and therefore never made it onto the show), starting with Season 5 and in all the foreign versions, the Fast Forward was cut back to only one or two per season, although the "one per team" rule still applied. With most of the strategy drained out of deciding whether or not to go for it on any particular leg, the Fast Forward has mostly become a cheap and/or easy win for a team that was already in the lead, as no team outside of the lead pack would dare risk it, as to not get it would mean certain elimination (as happened to Terence & Sarah on US Season 13, or Joey "Fitness" & Danny on US Season 20).

Subverted in Season 1 with Joe & Bill, when, after winning the Fast Forward, they decided to save money and take the bus instead of finding an alternate route to traverse the over 100 miles to the Pit Stop, solely because they thought there was no way the other teams could catch them. The next morning they rolled into the Pit Stop in last place, only to be saved by another team's even worse mistake.

The Amazing Race / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The show hasn't had strict 12-hour Pit Stops since the forced redesign in Season 12, partially in order to better control equalizers, but also to reduce time that the teams sat around at airports and task locations waiting for them to open, they just never mentioned the change on the show. Even before that, not all Pit Stops were exactly 12 hours either, some being 24 or 36 hours long. The producers stopped letting teams intermingle at the Pit Stops midway through Season 14, which is why teams are shown interacting with each other a Pit Stops before that, but often don't know who was eliminated until everyone shows up at the airport in the next leg after that. Before Season 19, the single use of a Yield/U-Turn was determined by whether you had your "Courtesy Of" sticker available. Since Season 14 featured a Blind U-Turn which did not require the use of the sticker, Luke has mentioned that he would have been able to use the other U-Turn if he got to it first.

The Amazing Race / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: A subtle version of this in the first leg sandcastle Roadblock. As confirmed by Matt & Daniel, many teams didn't think to dig underneath the sandcastles, expecting the clues to simply appear when they knocked the castles over (despite it saying they would be beneath the sandcastles in the clue). Though searching 400 sandcastles and having to rebuild them would be taxing in itself, this led to teams not finding a single one in all of them and thus the last three teams felt it better to take a penalty over continuing their fruitless efforts. The penultimate leg (set in Belfast, Northern Ireland) had a Detour in which one of the challenges involved teams going to the dry dock where the Titanic was built and serving a five-course first-class meal to reenactors. Three of the final four teams attempted this challenge, and all of them initially didn't realize there was a reason why the menus they picked up only had two of five courses listed for each person at the table - the menus were sitting on a signboard which listed the other three courses.

Unlike most media examples, the white male Brian was the one who was actually portrayed as a victim of racism by Ericka's mother. Though the other teams and most of the viewers didn't bat an eye at their relationship, this revelation from Ericka serves as a reminder that any stigma surrounding interracial marriages often affects the white partner as much as it does the POC partner.

The Amazing Race / int_3ac5110b	comment	Unintentionally Unwinnable: Poor Bill and Joe got hit with this again in one of the most poorly designed duo of legs (6&7) in the showâ€™s entire history. When they were in Tanzania in 6, there was a local holiday that messed with the flight schedule. They couldn't get on a flight to Poland and ended up over half a day behind everyone else with Eric and Danielle. They were saved by a non-elimination leg on 6 which got them a thirty-minute penalty if they didn't come in first (this was before the speedbump). 7 had a Fast Forward with teams already racing before they checked in for 6 which made not coming in first a Foregone Conclusion. They were able to make up a lot of time on 7 due to a bus equalizer but the poorly designed intersection made it impossible to get thirty minutes ahead of anybody. Dustin and Kandice had wanted to do the intersection with them to help them since they were friends but they got there in an odd placement and had to work with Charla and Mirna. They beat Eric and Danielle (who were their intersection partners) at the roadblock but not by thirty minutes and were eliminated. To this day, they still maintain that Eric deliberately slowed them down at the intersection to stop them from getting thirty minutes ahead of any of the other teams.

The Amazing Race / int_3c7d0418	comment	Doom Magnet: You would not believe just how many tragedies have happened in places that were just featured on the race: Season 1: The series premiere, which left from New York City, aired on September 5, 2001, six days before the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Season 6: The racers traveled through Sri Lanka only months before it was devastated by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Season 8 went through New Orleans a month before Hurricane Katrina hit, which was actually doubly tragic, because the Schroeder family, who were actually from New Orleans, got eliminated there—and then their home was severely damaged a month later (Fortunately, the Rogers family was kind enough to take them in for a while). Season 14: On the night the second Bangkok leg aired, violent protests broke out in the city. Season 16 is the race's biggest example: The prize for winning the first leg was a trip to Vancouver, including a skeleton ride at the Whistler Sliding Center. A fairly obvious tie-in with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games... only one of the Olympic athletes died going down that track on the day of the opening ceremony, mere days before the episode aired. Also, that and the next leg went through Chile - aired a week before it was hit with an 8.8 earthquake. Then, after the fourth leg, one contestant (Louie) was put under investigation under suspicion of being involved in a police run cocaine ring in Rhode Island. The next leg was packed with comments from Louie & Michael talking about how their jobs as cops prepared them for the race. Then, leg 10 features He Pingping, the shortest man in the world, only to have him die between the episode filming and airing. Season 18: In a less direct example, Phil's hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand was hit by a major earthquake mere hours after the premiere. It then took a more direct turn when the 2011 Japan earthquake hit right after the Tokyo leg aired. Season 21: The Race finished in New York City, with the episode airing a month after it was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. The Coney Island boardwalk that featured so prominently in the final episode was destroyed. Season 23: One of the less fatal examples; in the second episode, Kim DeJesus first reveal to the another team that she is married to a professional baseball player. Two days after the episode aired, her husband's team, the Tampa Bay Rays, was eliminated from the playoffs. Also, The Houston Texans, the football team Chester & Ephraim played for together and whose jerseys they wore, went from a 12-4 division winner the previous season to losing 14 straight games, the second game in that streak coming the day of the season premiere. Season 24: An episode featuring the teams traveling from China to Malaysia aired the day after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished and crashed over the Gulf of Thailand while traveling from Malaysia to China. Season 25: Typhoon Ruby/Hagupit hit the Philippines days after the first of two episodes set there aired. Season 27: A series of terrorist attacks on Paris occurred two weeks after the leg there aired.

He was using his New Zealand passport because he had been told if he was using it instead of his American one, he didnâ€™t need a visa. He had put his American passport in his checked luggage and couldnâ€™t get to it. The guards didnâ€™t speak much English and were confused as to why he was traveling with a bunch of Americans on a different countryâ€™s passport. Luckily he was able to get the consulate in Kiev to print him a new passport but he made it back to do the arrivals with only ten minutes to spare.

The Amazing Race / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Season 1 had a couple of features that were changed in later seasons, the most notable being that Phil only showed up at the mat to greet the last team instead of being there to greet every team like he would in every season thereafter. Also, the first episode was edited challenge to challenge, meaning each task was shown to completion before moving onto the next one, making it impossible to tell what order the teams were in, especially since it was the only season not to give team placements over the course of the leg, only showing what position teams were in when they checked into the Pit Stop; the route flags were yellow and white instead of the yellow and red of later seasons (the yellow and white flags would be brought back for Family Edition, and in countries such as Vietnam, that have a yellow and red flag); clue boxes and the Pit Stop mat were not standardized, and changed to reflect each country; and poor course planning resulted in two of the final four teams falling hopelessly behind with no chance of catching up to the two lead teams, something that the producers have taken steps to avoid since then. Unlike just about every other season, Season 1 did not have any tasks in the destination city. The top two teams (the third place team was a day behind) arrived in New York, got a clue, and headed straight for the finish line. In season 2, Phil sometimes greeted teams by saying "You're the X team to arrive" and meaning it as a successful check-in. In later seasons, Phil is famous for saying "You're the X team to arrive" equals something is wrong - usually a penalty or the halfway point of a double leg. The first four seasons as a whole had a lot more exposition than later ones, with teams (and Phil) talking about things like rules (both written and unwritten), money usage, travel, and how each little move affected their placement in the Race. Such exposition was cut out in later seasons as that information was expected to be common knowledge among fans by then. Many episodes in those seasons would also start with shots of the teams interacting at the Pit Stop, and Confession Cams were done solo instead of in pairs. Originally, penalties were issued at the beginning of the leg following when they were earned (unless the penalty eliminated the team, then Phil would call the penalized team and the last team to check in into a meeting to tell them the new results). However, after Season 4, the rules were changed so that teams could not check in until all earned penalties had been served. (Season 21 briefly reverted to the original version, though, when production had to improvise to deal with a unique situation at the moment.)

The Amazing Race / int_53027509	type	Long-Runner Tech Marches On
The Amazing Race / int_53027509	comment	Long-Runner Tech Marches On: Cell phone and smartphone proliferation has had a huge effect on the race metagame and the way the course is set up. Racers are barred from carrying phones themselves, but it's become increasingly easier to borrow a local's phone to call a cab or Google information about their clue or something. This has led to things that caused teams problems in early seasons, such as locating the location of a picture they were given, much easier. As GPS devices become standard issue in cabs across the world, the "bad cabbie" problem is tending to change from "he doesn't know how to get there" to "he doesn't understand what the team is saying" or "he drives slowly/badly". Teams in the earlier seasons almost always wore all cotton and cargo pants were the go-to choice for both men and women. As the years have gone on and moisture wicking synthetic fabrics have become more readily available, itâ€™s replaced cotton. Men wear cargo pants less often now but women pretty much exclusively wear synthetic leggings unless theyâ€™re in conservative countries where itâ€™d be considered rude/offensive/illegal.

This is despite that, aside from Freddy & Kendra (who both Yielded and were Yielded by Adam & Rebecca on Season 6) and Dave & Connor (who were U-Turned by Brendon & Rachel and U-Turned Leo & Jamal on Season 24), only one other team has won the race after being Yielded (Eric & Danielle, Season 11), while ten have won after using the Yield or U-Turn (Chip & Kim (5), Freddy & Kendra, the Linz Family, (Family Edition), BJ & Tyler (9), Tammy & Victor (14), Nat & Kat (17), Ernie & Cindy (19), Bates & Anthony (22), Dave & Connor, and Amy & Maya (25), though their U-Turn was wasted, as the team they targeted won the Fast Forward).

Michael and Moe (eliminated in Leg 1) and Arun and Natalia (eliminated in Leg 3, immediately before the hiatus) were brought back to Switzerland when the show resumed with Leg 4.

Unless they're a top tier team like Dustin & Kandice and Rob & Amber (on All-Stars), Zev & Justin (on Unfinished Business), or Dave & Connor (on the second All-Stars), no team really has a chance of standing out. In the case of Unfinished Business, this happened to every former Final 3 finisher, with the aforementioned Zev & Justin who finished 9th and Gary & Mallory who finished 6th being the dominant teams.

The Amazing Race / int_8dbec56b	comment	Cast Speciation: Across all of the versions, there's an informal quota of different team types to keep the dynamics interesting. A typical season will have the teams roughly split in thirds between couples (usually about half married/ half dating), family members (mostly siblings with an odd parent/child or cousins team), and friends. This has affected casting choices. For example, Sarah and Peter from Season 10 of the American version were called a dating couple but were actually Just Friends. The production team told them they had the friend quota already filled but they needed another dating couple and they agreed to pretend to be a couple.

To explain, during the safari drive task of the first leg, instead of tying their log to the towing hook like everyone else did, they actually tied it to the truck, and to make sure it didn't fall off, they double and triple knotted it; cue them falling from 1st place to 4th place when they try everything they can to get it off, including trying to untie it unsuccessfully, burn the rope, cut it with their leg razors, and eventually smashing a mirror they had with them and using a shard to cut the rope. They lampshaded their stupidity only moments after leaving the task.

Normally, one of these situations would lead to a team being sent directly to the Pit Stop for elimination, but with three teams involved, and it being a non-elimination leg anyway, it was left on a cliffhanger instead.

The Amazing Race / int_980647af	comment	Visible Boom Mic: The show is usually very careful about editing the show to hide any trace of the camera and sound team following along with each team of Racers, but sometimes they get caught in shots anyway. In Season 4, leg 2, the teams are packed into a crowded alley, and it became all but impossible for the cameramen to avoid each other. In Season 5, leg 8, after Colin changes the spare tire on his cab, the sound guy can be seen getting back into the cab with them. In Season 6, leg 2, the camera/sound crew are clearly visible when Meredith & Maria finish the Holmenkollen challenge. The infamous scene in Season 6 where Jonathan shoved his wife Victoria in a fit of rage at a Pit Stop showed a cameraman in the frame. In Season 7, leg 2, Brian & Greg's cameraman got caught on camera during their race to the Pit Stop with Megan & Heidi. Then when Brian & Greg flipped their car, all pretense got dropped as both Brian & Greg and Lynn & Alex's camera crews got each other on camera. In Season 8, leg 1, during Phil's opening speech, an extra person can be seen standing off to the side near the line of teams. In Season 14, leg 6, during Jaime's rant at her cab driver in the streets of Jaipur, a second cameraman can be seen running ahead of them. At Season 19's 8th Pit Stop, a fan can be seen taking pictures of teams running up to the mat. In Season 20, leg 7, during the fight between Brendon & Rachel and Art & JJ and Vanessa & Ralph at the Nairobi airport, shots of various cameramen can be seen as they angle to get shots of everyone's faces. In Season 21, leg 1, an overhead shot of the in-progress starting line challenge showed multiple cameramen scurrying around on the bridge. In leg 4, when Trey & Lexi's cab was passing Gary & Will's, you can see Gary & Will's camera and sound guys through the open windows. In leg 7, sound men can be seen as Jaymes & James and Natalie & Nadiya are at the pool Detour. In leg 9, the cameraman can be seen as Natalie & Nadiya do the Fast Forward. The finale (legs 11 and 12) included at least a dozen of these. In Season 32, leg 5, you can briefly see the cameraman in the car with Will and James when one of the other cars drives past them at the Paris airport.

Then there are the non-musical locals whose only purpose is to laugh at the teams when they mess up. In Switzerland during Seasons 14 and 22, the racers had to take 50-pound wheels of cheese down a very steep hill... and were intentionally provided with very cheap equipment.

The two most obvious Emmy Bait moments, neither of which actually ended up getting nominated for the Emmy, were the Slave House visit in Senegal in Season 6, and the Auschwitz visit in Season 11.

Rob, after "confirming" there were no faster flights to Istanbul, sat around mocking the "idiot" teams that were already in the air, getting a two-hour jump on him.

The Amazing Race / int_b6e554c8	comment	Slow and Steady Wins the Race: This has become an increasingly popular strategy. Nowadays teams donâ€™t necessarily care about winning individual legs unless thereâ€™s a game-based prize like an express pass. A lot of teams who win individual legs donâ€™t even end up taking the prizes because they end up paying half the value in taxes. A team who wins a lot of legs gets a lot of vacations they donâ€™t want to pay for. All that matters is being consistent and getting yourself into the final three to give yourself a shot at the prize. Kisha & Jen and Colin & Christie whoâ€™d win returnee seasons both say that this was the lesson that they learned the first go around. Itâ€™s better to pace yourself and not run out of steam at the end so you can win the last leg (although the latter team wound up winning several legs anyways).

The Amazing Race / int_b89ed08a	type	Obvious Rule Patch
The Amazing Race / int_b89ed08a	comment	Obvious Rule Patch: In Season 1, teams were only allowed to buy one set of plane tickets, and weren't allowed to switch, even if they found a faster flight or their original flight was delayed. This was changed on the very next season, and multiple flight bookings has become an important part of the Metagame ever since. The first two seasons had no rules in place for when a team's car broke down. These were instigated in Season 3 after several time credits were issued in Season 2 (including one that saved Blake & Paige from an elimination, which they received after Paige threatened to sue). After Season 3, it became standard on selling tasks, where teams had to reach a certain amount of money made, for each individual item to have a minimum amount it could be sold for. This was after Ken & Gerard completed such a task by selling massive amounts of fruit for what would average out to be very low prices, and repeatedly going back to the stall to get more to sell. Ties were disallowed after Season 4, to prevent having to give out multiple prizes for 1st place ties, and, more importantly, to keep two teams from accidentally tying for last. Limits on how many Roadblocks a racer could perform were instigated after Season 5, after the three women who made the Final 3 that year performed a total of three Roadblocks combined. After the first All-Stars, limits were put on the practice of bringing locals along in the team's vehicle to help with navigation and other tasks (see Loophole Abuse). The original penalty for qutting a Detour was 24 hours (far longer than the 4-hour Roadblock quitting penalty), which had only been applied twice (Nancy & Emily in Season 1, Maria & Tiffany in Season 15). Due to the production complications this would cause if someone quit on a non-elimination leg (since they would still have to keep track of the lagging team despite them being essentially done for - see the mess in Season 21 when James & Abba lost a passport on such a leg), the penalty was shortened to 6 hours after Season 15, which only applied to Nick & Vicki in Season 17. After the teams on Season 17 were smart enough to take detailed notes throughout the race in anticipation of the Final Exam Finale, Season 19's Final Exam Finale instructions specifically forbade the use of notes. (There was no Final Exam Finale in Season 18.) This did have a precedent in Season 12 which disallowed the use of a pen and paper to solve its final task. Somewhere along the way, it became forbidden for teams to pay taxis to drive somewhere and follow behind them in self-driving legs. The first time the rule was enforced in the show was when Michael and Kevin got a penalty for doing it in Season 17. When the cheese hill task from Season 14 was brought back for Season 22, they made a rule where teams had to use proper equipment to carry their cheese, fixing the loophole that allowed teams such as Margie & Luke to just roll their cheese down the hill and chase after it, rather than carrying it. Chuck & Wynona were eliminated as a result of rolling their cheese. Other minor changes were made to keep teams from taking advantage of loopholes, such as buying cellphones from locals (which Rob & Brennan did on Season 1) or switching their damaged car for another team's car at the Pit Stop (Dustin & Kandice on Season 10). After the group of five alliance steamrolled its way to the top five spots in season 32 via excessive answer sharing (the only other big alliance group came in season 10 but it was with the back of the pack teams), the production team changed the rules.

After that, teammates would generally wear same color shirts, if only for the first leg or so. Teams have started referring to each other by the colors of their shirts in the first leg (as teams are not allowed to interact prior to the start of the race), and even calling themselves "The <insert color here> team". Prior to this, teams were denoted by both numbers on their backpacks and different colored bandannas. However, the numbers were rarely, if ever seen, and the bandannas, when worn, were not always in a noticeable position, and often times were even completely discarded by the teams.

The Amazing Race / int_c3e4b9fd	comment	The final legs often have a Final Exam Challenge that will require the racers to remember all of the countries they visited, sometimes placing them in the right order. In Season 17, Nat and Kat had took detailed notes and when confronted with this, whipped out their notebook which allowed them to breeze through it. At the time, this was actually not against the rules as there wasn't anything saying they could not reference their notes.

Though the task involved rowing rafts to the Pit Stop, so it looked like the male/male teams would have an advantage, the teams had to build their own rafts, and because the male teams were heavier in general, the actual paddling part of the task became much harder as a result of quickly built rafts being bogged down and even falling apart.

The Amazing Race / int_c83751cb	comment	Description Cut: The editors love this trope, and it is done several times a season. Done typically when one team says something about the placement of another team that turns out to be completely wrong. A few examples: Season 1, Episode 3: While walking to the Hotel de Ville, Joe & Bill started talking about how all the other teams would get stuck in traffic or not be able to find it. Cut to almost every single team showing up at the Roadblock before them. Season 1, Episode 5: A slightly different, but still deliciously ironic, one from Season 2, Episode 11: Season 5, Episode 4: A similar cut was done with Susan & Patrick (7) on their way to the 4 lbs. of meat Roadblock. Season 7, Episode 9: The entire first half of the episode played out like this. Rob was feeling so overconfident with Lynn & Alex gone that he asked older couple Gretchen & Meredith if they had gotten on the earlier flight, just to mess with them. Gretchen & Meredith freaked out and went running to Uchenna & Joyce. The two couples borrowed someone's phone, and actually found a flight that would get them in two hours earlier. Rob, after "confirming" there were no faster flights to Istanbul, sat around mocking the "idiot" teams that were already in the air, getting a two-hour jump on him. Even Rob & Amber fans found this episode immensely satisfying to watch. Season 9, Episode 11: Ray & Yolanda, when going for the Fast Forward: Season 10, Episode 8: The entire episode played out like this, with Rob & Kim and Tyler & James laughing about how Dustin & Kandice had to do the Intersection with one of the Pit Stop, and about how the Fast Forward was going to put them so far ahead, only to have Dustin & Kandice win the leg. From leg 1 of Unfinished Business:

The Amazing Race / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: In comparison to where the original series was going at the moment. The Asian series aired during U.S. Seasons 10-17, when the game was getting far more competitive, and teams could be serious and make game moves without being seen as villains by the other teams. This level of competitiveness never made it to Asia, resulting it teams being far friendlier with each other, doing things such as giving money to teams hit with a mugging penalty or when they couldn't pay for their cabs. At the same time, while there were teams who were seen as villainous by the other teams due to playing "dirty," no one, save for Laura & Andy in Season 1 and Geoff in Season 3, were ever portrayed as being villainous on air. This level of friendliness was most likely due to most of the teams being media personalities in their own countries, with careers and images to worry about. This mentality still persist in Season 5, 6 years later.

The Amazing Race / int_cfdb9e17	comment	Cerebus Syndrome: Not so much of the show, but the attitude of the teams coming in has definitely shifted towards the darker over the course of the series. In the early seasons, the general attitude was one of a bunch of people taking an epic adventure around the world together, and there just so happened to be a million dollar prize at the end. Teams who played cutthroat were generally despised by the audience and the other teams, and were cut as the villains. Sometime around the first All-Stars, the general attitude shifted from "playing fair" to "playing to win". Also contributing to this is the elimination of the "eat, sleep, and mingle" Pit Stops during Season 14, which means teams in later seasons spend a lot less time socializing with each other, and are therefore more willing to play cutthroat. The biggest example of this shift is from Unfinished Business, where fans got upset about the teams working too much together, and giving each other answers to challenges. In the early seasons, this kind of cooperation was normal.

The penultimate leg's detour was a choice between "On the Rocks," a straightforward drink mixing task, or "On the Beach," in which a team had to sell bikinis, and the women had to change into them right on the beach, which almost no one is going to do in front of random strangers.

The Amazing Race / int_e409de66	comment	Manipulative Editing: Leg 2 of Season 4 had five of the ten teams receive four-hour penalties for not finishing the Roadblock in time. However, the beginning of the next leg had two of those teams, Alan & Wendy and Claire & Michelle, only receive two hour and twenty minute penaltiesnote Alan & Wendy supposedly left at 7:20, while the team who checked in after them, Ivan & Hilda, left at 5:00, while Jess & Lani and Hussein & Natasha received full four hour penalties. To further muddle things up, Claire & Michelle supposedly left the Pit Start at 7:30, yet somehow managed to be at the ticket counter at the airport at 7:25. So either two of the teams received shorter penalties for no reason and Claire & Michelle learned to time travel, or every team received only a two-hour penalty, but Alan & Wendy and Claire & Michelle's start times had to be modified to explain why they made a flight that took off an hour before they were supposed to start the leg.

It was meant to mimic the American tradition of the family road trip, but it proved unpopular with fans and was never done again. TAR 33, due to external circumstances, namely, the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the race was suspended for a year and a half after three legs were completed. Secondly, when the race finally reconvened, four teams had been "discharged", because for various personal reasons they were unable to return. Thirdly, that led the producers to fill out the cast by bringing back two teams that had been previously eliminated. Fourthly, continued COVID restrictions meant more restricted travel; the teams mostly avoided public transit, they flew on charter flights rather than commercial travel like every other season, and they didn't race around the world, instead running a few legs around Europe before returning to the United States.

The Amazing Race / int_f97b5d33	comment	Shoo Out the Clowns: The lighthearted, easy going, and comedic relief teams generally tend to trail off near the end of each season, when things get more competitive and they find it harder to keep up with the more cutthroat teams. three such teams have managed to win the race (Chip & Kim from Season 5, BJ & Tyler from Season 9, and Josh & Brent from Season 21), but only after they had an elimination scare and got serious. Other such teams are: Jon & Al (4th place on Season 4) are probably the most fitting, seeing as they were actual clowns. Danny & Oswald finished 4th on both Seasons 2 and 11, winning three legs on both Seasons. Wisecracking Zev & Justin fell just short of the Final 3 on Unfinished Business. Andy & Tommy finished 4th on Season 19, becoming the first team with at least five leg wins to miss the Final 3. Ken & Gerard (3), Nicolas & Donald (12), and Dan & Andrew (13) all made the Final 3, only to finish a distant third. There's the "Fan Favorites Finish Fourth" trend, which (aside from the above) includes Kevin & Drew (1), Linda & Karen (5), Gretchen & Meredith (7), and Flight Time & Big Easy (15). Starting with Season 7, 5th place became the axing point for such teams with Lynn & Alex (7), the dysfunctional Paolo Family (8), Fran & Barry (9), Erwin & Godwin (10), Uchenna & Joyce (who on All-Stars did not seem to have the same drive after winning Season 7), Kynt & Vyxsin (12 and Unfinished Business), Mark & Bopper (20), Meghan & Joey (22), and Becca & Floyd (29) going out.

You can actually see the how this attitude changes in the US version, where, early on, teams who held a competitive attitude over a friendly one were seen as unlikable or villainous by the other teams, and alliances were seen as a necessity by a lot of the teams. The shifting towards a more general competitive attitude was a major plot-line in Season 10, where the teams who valued friendship over the competition were portrayed as inept, while the most competitive team, Dustin & Kandice, were seen by the other teams and portrayed by the editing as the villains, but were wildly popular and are still seen as one of the best teams to ever run the race.
