Line 12:
* [[Real Life/Mean Character, Nice Actor|Real Life: Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Due to editing [[Manipulative Editing|showing mostly bad moments]] of some teams, several racers are nicer in real life than they appear to be in the show, one of the best examples being Ray (Season 7). Also notable is Joe & Bill (1), the [[Ur Example]] of this, who were toned down on ''All-Stars'' because they initially didn't like their portrayal.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Phil's father was the Pit Stop greeter when the show visited New Zealand in Season 13. Said Pit Stop was actually at the ranch his father owns.
* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: Attempted and failed following Season 11. CBS cut the budget, forcing them to reduce Season 12 by two episodes, ordered only one season instead of the usual two, and decided to use it as a mid-season replacement show. When Season 12 finally did air, it was put in a Sunday-night slot and constantly delayed by football games running over. Despite all this, the ratings for Season 12 were the best since Season 7, and it got a full renewal for 2008-2009.
* [[Sequel First]]: Some seasons are aired out of order in other countries, which usually doesn't make a difference, except in those markets that aired All-Stars before Season 10, meaning these fans [[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|were introduced to Dustin & Kandice and David & Mary prior to their original season airing.]]
* [[Throw It In]]: The double length "Super Legs" were created by mistake in Season 6. Leg 6 was supposed to be a normal non-elimination leg with the losing team getting all their money taken away, but the production crew found out too late that it was illegal to beg in Hungary. So instead, they cut the Pit Stop out of that leg, and cobbled together a clue and an "operating hours" equalizer to keep the teams busy. In following seasons, Super Legs would be preplanned, including their own fake mats where Phil got to tell the teams they were still racing.
