I like the description in Season 1 - "It's like no other race in history, it's the Amazing Race!"

I never knew that Cesternino/Fishback were a potential team. That would have been epic!

I imagine if there would be "The Amazing Race: World Star" which the teams picked from all version of The Amazing Race around the world. Picked some from US, Asian, Latin, Australian, Canadian version, etc. Would it be fun to watch if this is happening?

@@ichanppc of course. The casting team needs to be more picky, for example do more research of each team's background (political relationship between the teams citizenship and the country they visit) and choose the team from countries that have powerful passport so they don't need to make visa in the embassy (I think, I'm not sure what kind of visa the amazing race teams and production team use). But I believe it'll be more fun to watch, cause the teams also fight for the name of their countries, like athletes in Olympic. Then probably will reach more viewers.

I made this video back in August, so nothing from that 20th anniversary interview, but I bet it will show up in the next TAR secrets video :)

Saw amazing race being filmed in Puerto Vallarta in oct.2022. 5 teams ran by me with a cameraman filming them. I was yelling and screaming "go amazing race". Couple of bars had patrons screaming at racers too. It was on beach promenade Malecon. Cool!🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎😎

Great video - love the Amazing Race - actually re-watching every season on HULU - just started season 15. Look forward to new season - hopefully soon.

As an Airline Employee, Phil's explanation for #30 is spot on... it's up to the Captain who, likely seeing them waving through the window of the terminal, decides whether or not to get blamed for the delay in order to allow people on board that may have been late. Begging the Gate Agent doesn't help, but the Pilot will not let the plane leave if they choose to let a passenger on...

It was really cool to see that in the later season they actually went to Jordan for the first time

I am always fascinated by the logistics of Amazing Race. That's a lot of countries to plan, a lot of permits to get, Visas to process, etc... I'd love to know if there was some place they tried to go, but they couldn't get permission from the different governments. I know they said Antarctica, but that was a different issue.

Interesting to know! I started watching the show this month. I began with season 32 and now I'm going backwards. It's so fun, but I'm have an awful luck because every team I was rooting for lost and the teams I absolutely didn't want to win... won. So yeah... Next is season 29 and I hope it's a good one

One of the "secrets" mentioned was about drinking a beer on the race with Chris and Bret from season 31. I forget which season it was, but there was a challenge in Germany where they had to carry a tray of beers from a bar into another establishment, and I'm almost positive that one of the racers actually took a swig of beer from the glass before continuing. Again, can't remember the season nor the team, but I'm almost positive it happened.

The thing is, Phil said that it’s the PIC (Pilot In Command)’s choice to bring the plane back to the gate. While that is TECHNICALLY true, it doesn’t tell the whole story. There are consequences for every choice a pilot makes. If production reached out to American Airlines and told them that, for the sake of the show, the flight needed to return to the gate, and dispatch sent an ACARS message to the pilots, and the Captain decided NOT to return to the gate, what kind of repercussions would he have faced? As an airline pilot myself, if operations or dispatch tells you to return to the gate, you do it. It’s not really up for debate. So sorry Phil, show production totally could’ve bribed the airline to tell the pilots to return to gate.

@@Anakinskywalkerfan1I agree. There’s other videos that have been commented on about this. Others have said that because CBS has rights to survivor, and both Rob/amber had each won their seasons on survivor. They figured(cbs or producers of amazing race), they couldn’t dole out even MORE money to rob/amber, again. A consolation prize may have been having their wedding paid for by cbs. If you re-watch season 11, towards the end where Rob/amber get eliminated, you see where all the teams are waiting for their turn to get on the boats to take them to the island where they look for letters addressed to the teams(roadblock). Uchenna says something to Rob about “hey, maybe we’ll all get on the same boat”. Rob gives uchenna the side eye and comments under his breath something like “yeah, idk”, with a real unhanded tone. Kind of like bringing back the whole flight issue from season 5. So yeah, they were cheated.

I've been a fan for a long time but I started probably a handful of seasons in but I always wondered how they got all the tasks and things orginazied that they had to do an each leg of the race

I still believe those people in the seasons where they "didn't know each other" actually got to know each other before the show, or knew each other for a while...

goated channel.

I miss the old days. Like when they got cash to get a flight. Spend too much and you had to beg. And yes I know they do what they have been doing in recent past but I like when one team came in first they left first; 12 hours later. None of this groups of 3 or 4 leave at the same time. They need to bring back a food challenge too.

They need to bring back the feel of season 1-3 but in a 2022 world. I know it would be very different cause social media but I’d be interested in seeing something like that

It's interesting to think there was a time were they believed strangers wouldn’t work. Without the all-strangers season, we would have never had my favorite team team fun. They have that happy-go-lucky personality and just seemed like they were having so much fun. Doesn't hurt that I think Becca is hot

Weren’t Malory and Mark strangers in season 24 when they competed together after bopper was taken out of the race the day before it was scheduled to start?

I can see an Antarctica stop happening only if it won't be the reason you're eliminated just in case a team gets stuck

Idk if u guys know but in season 2 I think it was a team lost their passports and Phil was rushing to the airport to eliminate them but then their passports were found

Regarding the plane "debacle" from season 7 with Uchenna and Joyce-- I am against all the conspiracy theories. I can recall a time we were in Florida and they closed our gate early (4 of us flying). We begged them to let us get on the flight even after the door was closed and they were gearing for takeoff. We asked the multiple people working for the airline. After some time, the pilot stopped and reopened the door and after some finagling, made space for 2 of 4 of us to get on the plane. It is possible!

Interesting story. I saw some of these seasons of The Amazing Race

Now we know why they can't do a leg in Antarctica...

The next flight was like 5 hours later.

There's literal war crimes commited in Israel & are documentee,recognised by the UN,Amnesty,HRW,even Israeli Government's Human Rights Agency acknowledge the war crimes commited. Just search Haaretz,Standing Together Movement,HRW,Ammesty,UN. There is also a security problem. • You cannot film in most parts of Israel let alone the airport,govt buildings especially if its meant to be distributed to the whole world • Every passenger coming into BGA will be given Barcodes and EVERYTHING needs to be scanned for non Citizens. This wastes times especially if you are carrying a large camera with a boom mic. • There's too much risk in Going to Israel. One hour its fine, the next hour some Israeli settler blocks road,protesting govt,etc. •Why bother risking TAR's credibility. TAR US is distributed in many Countries including Malaysia, Indonesia,Brunei,Saudi Arabia,Pakistan. A season featuring Israel will receive boycotts from BDS and simply Human Beings. The goal here is to maximize profits & keep sponsors happy ● Lastly,Sponsors play a huge role in deciding which country gets blacklisted from ever being visited. Sponsors need to appear as neutral as possible. Thus, it can make Sponsors go mad & Blacklist TAR from doing deals again. That's why TAR has avoided India,Thailand,Turkey,China,Kenya,Uganda,South Africa,Egypt in recent seasons.

Amazing race. Season 4 - Debra is SO OBESE. Because of her, she delayed other teams. In future, you have to put a very strict clause that contestants must be extremely fit, their BMI should be 25 to 28. Their weight should be up to 65 kg (for ladies). For men, it should be up to 90 kg. They need to do a trial test before they are cleared for the actual amazing race. If they fail at their first attempt, they cannot appeal, and neither should they be given a second chance.
