The 29 Most Surprising Secrets of The Amazing Race - Volume 1

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Here are 40 more secrets about The Amazing Race! Aka the sequel to this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hILMgaSgoLFle6s

[@jasonmetcalfe4695]

Another fact you maybe don't know - Phil always tries to add New Zealand as a destination into every season, so he can return home for a bit, although it's only actually happened about 3x

[@adammoldover8769]

I think he got his father to be the pit stop greeter once

[@joshuahcraig7585]

My good friend was on TAR and talks about how incredibly fair and empathetic the crew (and Phil) was VS other reality shows. They really care about the contestants’ well-being and there’s not the favoritism / exploitation of racers, like we often hear about with most other franchises.

[@AppleSlipper]

Amy mentioned on the Racers Recap that back in Season 25, she started to feel unwell and Phil ran over to her immediately and called for some medical attention. He genuinely cares about the racers' wellbeing.

[@kellydaunis]

Who's your friend?

[@mmafuemu]

My dad had a friend who was on TAR too! (It was brodie from season 28, or whenever the social influencer season was) My dad never got to ask him about the race though because he lives far away and he hasn’t talked to him in a while.

[@TheDerpySmiler]

Are you talking about Krista? :D

[@101jir]

First episode of S2, as the first post-9/11 season is absolutely hilarious in hindsight with the teams rushing into the airport with their backpacks on and getting stopped by security 🤣

[@johnmoore3504]

I miss the early seasons when they booked their own travel and could actually get a lead with smart flight routing or just being super lucky. Now the “race” only occurs between flights, it’s been rigged to keep things close. For example you finish in 7th but get on the same flight as all the over teams which basically resets the race. I assume they did this after the one season where one team managed a nearly 24 hour lead. It became pretty clear Phil can’t be in two places at once so they need to ensure everyone is finished before the next leg starts.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

I am betting the race saves on production cost by pre booking tickets.

[@paulwright6044]

But would this make it remotely enjoyable? If a team is hopelessly behind, with no real shot at making up several hours (or even a day's difference -- see Team Guido in their first season's final), it takes so much of the suspense out of the show. There is no real point in showing their futile attempt to get back in the race. Likewise, a team with a gigantic lead going into the final renders it meaningless. Sure, we can be happy that the team was good, but blowouts are boring.

[@vidhead85]

I like that they keep them close so we get everyone and then see where they might fall behind. The airports and the "Opens at X am" are my favorite parts of the race

[@jeremybeaird3608]

It is, first and foremost, a TV show.

[@101jir]

I feel like both extremes can be a problem. It's nice to see momentum have meaning and value, but not to the point where it defeats later episodes. I'd like to see a few episodes, roughly equally spread out, where all the teams are on the same flight, and always start the finale with all teams on the same flight. But I would like where more often than not there are either 3 or more flights with only enough room for a certain number of teams each, or they have to do their own booking.

[@travisdom9391]

Phil is surprisingly humble... i mean he is a host but he is never sarcastic.... his facial response with DeAngelo at s32 is quote humbling i mean he can just insult DeAngelo back about what he said when he and Gar got eliminated... i think Phil is such a beautiful person inside and out!!!

[@QaDri93]

Shoutout to the camera and audio crew and also the people who has to stand around/perform while waiting for racers to complete their challenges or even find their way there in the first place.

[@cassandratemple45]

The thing I've always appreciated about this show is that they're straight-shooters when it comes to editing. I don't think I've seen a single episode where they've made it seem like a certain team is ahead, but someone else shows up at the mat instead. It makes the show so much more authentic.

[@chikinpasta6047]

and the fact that even with this editing, you can't still predict who's in the mat first 😂

[@geography_tube]

The one about the Black family had me in stiches

[@dapple9120]

Surprised there's a camera AND sound person. How do they fit 4 people in the cabs? I guess they squeeze 3 in the backseat, I never noticed.

I miss the first few seasons with every leg having a fast forward. It was a much needed piece of chaos.

[@kellydaunis]

It made it way too easy back then. I'm glad they don't do that anymore. I also like that fact that Amazing Race: Unfinished Business didn't have a fast forward at all.

[@blueredlover1060]

@@kellydaunis I found it fun when a team that by all accounts should get eliminated snags a Fast Forward that other teams were playing with more strategically. Like I said, it was a fun bit of chaos while also granting teams much more strategy in a game that doesn't use all that much, really. You can largely ignore the social aspect of the Amazing Race which is suicide in games like Survivor or Big Brother. The fast forward was something that could either be used late in the game to keep your team fresh or early to help you stabilize your position. With 3 or fewer, no such strategy exists as it puts all the stress on teams to be in top shape at all times.

[@paulwright6044]

Imagine promoting the show in the heart of Harlem and introducing the Black Family, which was the Black family! Phil's not dumb -- that was a recipe for disaster. Fortunately Mr. Black was there for the save.

[@carealoo744]

These flow together quite well, I didn't even realize we were off in the first point until like point 17

[@fan13n24]

One thing that I have noticed in the last few seasons, is that you see the camera people from other teams fairly regularly. Before that point, I do not recall ever seeing one in view. I wonder if that was a conscious decision to allow it, that during post editing.

[@chengqian932]

They got lazy with the editing from Season 9.

[@soniquefus]

I kinda like seeing them. We know theyre there. There's no point i trying to hide them. I do wonder if they ever converse with the teams at all.

[@mrmarvel9309]

The Australian version of the Amazing Race just did an entire season in Australia, it was filmed during the pandemic so they thought it'd be a good opportunity to show off the country better. It had a lot less elimination legs as a result.

[@lukeguccii]

And it was a great season, I loved it. They honestly could do a US season just in the US again but obviously not a family edition and then they could do more in the US since they don't have to cater to the children.

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

Unpopular opinion: The length was exhausting to watch. It's the reason why I LOATHE the Israeli version. Too effing long! The editing made it worse where it felt like a Travel Channel documentary that was never-ending. Strongly disliked the stowaways which were already at a huge advantage of them not being tired from running ten-plus previous legs. Don't get me started on the audacity of rewarding teams for being last. Just all around awful season with no integrity of actual competition and I agree with Sam from Sticky & Sam's comment that this season felt like they were grasping for straws. This is THE AMAZING *RACE*, not The Amazing Vacation.

No way. That season was so set up for them to win, especially the prizes for coming in first on each leg & production getting the airline to hold the plane in South America so they could make it & not get eliminated

[@esm82ify]

I still want to know what happened with Erica and BRIAN! 😄, the ethnically diverse couple who were cheated out of winning the last leg of Season 15. They were supposed to do something with poker chips, I think and the casino employee miscounted keeping them from being first out of that event. I remember Googling it after the season ended and it seems like they were given a settlement of some sort...but nothing was stated for sure. I found out later that all the contestants get a cash prize in some amount based on their placing. A fact I learned would trying to figure out why Dallas and his mom weren't in the Season 13 finale (technically the crew's fault)

They should get it after there episode airs not the finale. 3. I actually like the Family Edition, it was something didn’t and it wasn’t that bad. However, it was bad for different reasons. 4. I felt so bad for him. 5. This is something I love to see! This is why they started the live description in season 25. 6. Now, starting with season 25 they same rule is in place. 7. Yep, there job is incredibly hard! I feel for them. 8. I didn’t know Kevin & Drew did this. This is hilarious. 9. Wow, can’t believe they did this for. It’s teams. 10. Yep, Early seasons it was 26-30 days, and newer seasons it is 21-24 days. 11. This is something I found out in Joey & Meghan’s recaps from season 22. They always had to correct themselves. 12. Yes this is correct! 13. Season 11 was crazy with the Tanzania, Mozambique, and Poland legs with flights. 14. Really? I thought it was 60 hours. 15. Yes, pretty sure this also happened in India. Sexism is still happening and it is sad. 16. I didn’t know this and I am not surprised. 17. Didn’t know they could do that, and wow they are crazy and I love them! 18. I can’t believe this happened. Wow! 19. Felt so bad for them and the 24 hours bus/train rides. 20. Sometimes this happens however will challenges no. 21. Didn’t know this, and make senses. 22. Exactly! Don’t be a sheep unless you don’t know what/where you are going. Then, that is when you follow so you don’t get left behind. 23. Not surprised. Rob is a villain and I love it. 24. Iconic! I love this moment, and so happy they won! I don’t care if production did it; it would be boring if they didn’t. 25. This is so funny. Also, not surprised. 26. Wow! He better did. He caused you Million Dollars. 27. Just like Big Brother most of the time they can’t show it because of copyright. Sometimes they get to! 28. At least they get good hotels. 29.

The secret I wanted to know is why an multi award show not have more seasons? As the years progressed, the months between seasons became more and more. I get it, currently we have the pandemic. And with the development of social media, it is very difficult to contain information/videos of races that are still running. At the beginning, as one season was shown, the next one is already being ran. Actually, my only real question is- will the Amazing race continue to run?

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Season 33 was filming and after leg 3 finished they had to shut down due to covid.

[@CaRlOsKoKiS]

Because any of those awards represent the present of the audience view, most of TAR's ones got taken by RPDR in later years, also, it is not healthy to have 2 seasons for year for such physical demanding show

I am curious when they travel by taxi, how can they fit 4 people along with the driver into 1 car when the team filled both seats in the back row?

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

3 people in the backseat, including the audio guy. Camera man sits in the passenger seat. I actually cover that in one of these secrets video with footage.

TAR Canada literally runs races locally and they still are unique and intense. USA has 20x the amount of cultures and geographical landmarks. There's literally no excuse not to have a good season while in the States.

[@tudorjason]

The Family edition was boring. The tasks and places were limited because of the ages of the kids. Perhaps if TAR attempted another family edition but with all team members being an adult, it may be more successful.

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

The Canadian version of TAR has very localized routes with places that can feel identical to a sister city in the same province and they still can squeeze a lot of good tasks from them. To my perspective, the Family Edition had executed a very slow-paced route after flying back up from Central America. The tasks after Arizona were definitely not all kid-friendly though (Utah detour, ski jump, trapeze, horseback riding, railroad labor). I've seen regular seasons of TAR that kids could do though (season 24 especially).

[@michaeljensen1625]

I want to know how the producers decide which legs to award 1st place prizes like vacations on. Like in season 7, there was price for first place on Leg 1. And then they only other time a prize was awareded to a first place team were the times Rob and Amber came in first. All the other times there was no prize for the first place contestants (obviously except for the winners at the end) The travelocity prize was given as well, but it had nothing to do with which team arrived 1st at the pit stop. It just seemed really fishy that it was Rob and Amber every time. But when other teams arrived 1st they got nothing.

I was watching reruns.. it just occurred me that you never see them pee or use the bathroom.. you also never see them drink water.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

In season 18 you do. A bathroom trip causes a team to lose.

[@krpbdp]

Fairly interesting, but too many people talking over each other toward the end. I still have too many questions which weren't answered. I've watched every episode for many years.

[@ianteoh60]

Tbh I was happy Rob and Amber lost

[@carolyngardner4999]

The latest season was so shitty to watch, when did TAR become a Survivor game of numbers? Jeez.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Only in the last season. The season before was much better.

[@Wonglrr]

@@OnceUponAnIsland yess totally agree, loved the earlier seasons!

[@francesca-selfproclaimed-bleep]

The producers said they're changing the rules to disallow teams from helping each other during Roadblocks because of this alliance. I'm surprised this was never in effect after that whole Brooke fiasco in 28.

Oooff... I just skipped the family season

You’re not missing much. Don’t feel bad.

[@ianteoh60]

That season was a mess. It’s best you stay away from it.

It's paced fast so ppl with reactions to excessive flashing shouldn't watch

[@fergomez3817]

Although I did not watch every single episode of the show I always wondered, Is it me or Hispanics/ Latinos were underrepresented? I mean everybody else was represented white, black,women,Asian, gay, East Indian, I just don’t recall too many brown people in general 🤷🏻‍♂️🌎
