The Amazing Race/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Ascended Fanon]]: The mat at the beginning of the leg, where teams receive their first clues, has been referred to as the "Pit Start" for years by fans, but it wasn't official until the show included the term during Season 19.

* [[Deleted Scene]]: Several deleted scenes are put up on CBS.com following each episode. One of the more notable ones came from the All-Stars premiere, where the teams on the second flight out of Miami randomly ran into Season 4 winner Chip.

** In leg 9 of Season 20, it's pretty obvious that the producers intervened to get Bopper & Mark past a Roadblock so they wouldn't quit on what was supposed to be a non-elimination leg, though at least they waited until all the other teams had finished the leg to do so. See how Bopper goes from pleading with Mark not to kill himself to encouraging him to take just one more try.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Even ignoring season-specific nicknames for teams and individual racers, we have "The Philbrow" (Phil's [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]), "Philimination" (being [[Eliminated From the Race]] by Phil), "Exposition Hands" ([[An Insert]]), "Killer Fatigue" (the point when stress starts to take its toll on the racers), "[[Mercy Kill]]" (automatically eliminating a team that is trailing to the point that it's simply not possible for them to catch up, barring all the other teams dropping dead before they get to the Pit Stop, instead of making them finish the leg), "NELs" (short for Non-Elimination Legs), and the "Super Leg" (for those double length legs which last two episodes).

** Brian Smith (Season 7) was Zack on ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' and is a rather prolific commercial actor.

** Jet & Cord originally appeared on ''Kevin & Drew Unleashed'', a three-episode series starring the titular Season 1 racers.

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Seasons 8-12 have no official release on DVD or digitally.

* [[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.

* [[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.

** Season 8 had a leg in Belize that was cancelled due to Hurricane Emily.
