Trivia

General

  • This edition has featured the first father/son team.

Pre-Race

  • Jill and her brother were originally applied for Season 1. Later, her brother was killed in 9/11, and John Vito and Jill applied in remembrance of him.

In Race

  • Dennis & Andrew became the first team to use the Fast Forward and be eliminated. But they were not the first team to use it and be the last team to arrive. Joe & Bill used that and were last to arrive in Season 1. But they were not eliminated due to Nancy & Emily's 24-hour penalty for skipping the detour.
  • Heather and Eve were the first team to arrive at the Pit Stop in Portugal on Leg 4, but they misread a clue that told them walk to the Pit Stop rather than take a taxi. They proceeded to walk the rest of the way, but received a 7 minute time penalty for the advantage gained (the 2nd team arrived 7 minutes later), plus an additional 30 minutes. Since all teams arrived less than 37 minutes apart, Heather and Eve were the first team ever to arrive first and be eliminated.
  • Andre and Damon were officially detained in Leg 6, when their taxi took them far out of the way in Morocco and they encounted a local official who wanted to seize their passports. Andre and Damon refused, and The Amazing Race's security team had to come help them out of the situation.
  • On the "Dry" Detour of Leg 10, teams received a clue from Singaporean actor Gurmit Singh, who acted as Phua Chu Kang.
  • On Leg 12 in Vietnam, all route markers were solid yellow instead of red and yellow. This was done to avoid confusion with the Vietnamese national flag, which is also red and yellow.
