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

Here are 40 more secrets about The Amazing Race! Aka the sequel to this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NQiPqjkL2EI.html

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

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.

The one about the Black family had me in stiches

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!!!

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 🤣

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.

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.

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.

I love The Amazing Race. Can’t wait for the next season!

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.

Lol I was so confused when I saw “Black” family. I was like 😯 but that’s their actual name!

what's wild is Secret 18 the guards bringing out assault rifles to "calm [the arguing teams] down" i mean it would shut me the hell up but in no way would it calm me down LOL

Some of these I knew and some I didn’t but love these little behind the scenes videos

I still believe if it weren’t for Joyce’s haircut in the India fast forward, they probably wouldn’t had been put on that flight and won the season. The haircut was for good luck and it played out well.

I love this channel (it is one of my favorites) and I loved this video! Hopefully we get more Amazing Race videos!

I concur the content coz I had experienced wth sweat & tears running along wth my charming daughter as team mate on The Amazing Race Asia Season 4 yr 2010 and we were exhausted wth full of anxiety challenges of unknown journey, and at the end we made it to the final due to our prayers were granted. I miss and love TAR/A..🙏👍😍

Omg loved this secrets! We will never understand the finals of season 7. love all these the amazing Race videos

Thank you so much for making this it was super interesting I’ve recently been binging tar and can’t seem to find many videos about it on RU-vid.

In season 14 when they where in Siberia all teams where stuck on a train for an extra day due to a blizzard forcing it to stop on its tracks

Loved this!!!! Some I knew, some I didn’t

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

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.

Your very underrated for the time you spent on these you deserve more

Was surprised to find out about there being no reshoots. Those cameramen are on point then. Also idc what anyone says. Amazing Race Family Edition was chaotic and fun as hell to watch. I loved it and this is a hill Im willing to die on

more amazing race content! this is awesome!

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

Really interesting tidbits about the show! :)

Very interesting video! I never knew most of this stuff.

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)

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.

I didn't realize the camera and sound crew were the same throughout the race. I always thought they just hired some local crews to film them.

I loved the family season! It was hilarious 😂 to this day I remember that Italian family that kept fighting.

i really love this channel.....

Amazing video! But I think you only talked about season 1 and 7. i would like a second part ;)

So excited to watch! Will edit when I have completed the entire video! Edit: 1. I knew about this, and it makes the first switchback in season 5 in the Tanzania leg. 2. Yes, something I don’t like. 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. Not surprised also season 1 all of the behind the scenes is crazy! Most surprised: the ones I didn’t know because I didn’t know! lol

Lol the "Black family" one is killing me 🤣

PLEASE do an episode about Flight Time and Big Easy

I mean, honestly? I don't see how the hell there WASN'T any production interference with that infamous moment in Season 7's finale.

Would love to see a video on the family season

You really did a great job with your homework okurrrrrr 👏👏👏👏

Great video, didn't know about a lot of these! I still believe that Amber and Rob were absolutely robbed

I actually liked the Family Edition. It seemed exciting right to the end. Personally, I don't like it when they bring back teams who have already competed.

Chris and Alex (s2 winners) were my dads childhood friends

I noticed as early as season 12, maybe earlier they didn't always do a strict 12 hour rest period. Sometimes theyll do start times super early in the morning if the next leg has a flight so all teams can get to the airport.

Saw filming of amazing race filming in Puerto Vallarta recently in Oct.2022 teams ran by me on the Malecon. I was screaming go go. Patrons of an open bar saw the racers and were yelling too.

Personally I love 13. It shows the authenticity of the show. You can't dispute how real the show is when he is explainibg it in real time similar to a sports commentator

I love love this show!! I wish they could continue it!! 😌

I feel bad for Amazing race Family edition. I think a. Family edition can work but it needs to be adjusted and improved upon

Nice video

Thanks

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?

I love the amazing race so much

3:05 "Black Family" 😂😂😂

i swear in season 4 jon and al booked a flight then looked for (and got) an earlier flight... i feel like teams were allowed to change flights until s5 i might be wrong though

I want to know when the new season will ever come

omg i loved tar family edition weavers were icons them eating big macs on the time penalty was mood and how thru had beef with everyone and when that little girl got eliminated i was low key maliciously laughing and the garbage truck italian family and the 3 blondes and the dad uugh the sisters never liking the 4th sister and bullying her omg omg omg omg the "black" black family

Which season was where the first team has already left, but the last team hasn't checked in yet? (#13)

This is legit

I loved Team Fun !!

I sure hope the producers finally have a 55 + older edition for us old fogies to really enjoy? unless they already have between season 30 and season 35??

not included the accidents with the contestants & the crews...

BEST SHOW ON TV

So true do your own thing

Kevin and Drew! Kevin and Drew! Kevin and Drew! Kevin and Drew! Kevin and Drew! Kevin and Drew!

I miss the competitive days of TAR. Everyone is so Kumbaya and helpful these days, it makes it boring. Bring back the back stabbing and cab thievery 😂

Unpopular opinion: I don't base my likings of a season off of the chemistry of teams. The locations and creativity of tasks make or break an ENTIRE season for me. 24 and 26 were a dumpster trash fire that I would never want to watch unless I want to scorch my eyes out.

The Black family story reminded me of Dave Chappelle's skit

I found it interesting that Phil admitted that the family season was a mistake.

21 ministries of security justice

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?

They should have showed Brendan’s rendition of Tomorrow because we need to know who sang it better him of T bird?

Does anyone know how I can apply to be cast on the show? Is this show still on ?

PLEASE do a video about the family season, it’s one of my earliest memories of the show!

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.

How do they book the flights the day off? Or are they already reserved for them?

The real question is... will the truth ever truly be revealed about Uchenna and Joyce's flight or have we always known all along? Watch every secrets video I have made - ru-vid.com/group/PL-J4ldj2BdE2McwzPjDDJAuBDHZriyYOG

I like secret 27 its funny to me

Please do let us know when you hear about the secret of when the next season is gonna air.

What was the podcast that was used in this video?

I shouldn't have watched this vid cause I'm currently binge watching the amazing race and there are a crap ton of spoilers here lol

Captain of plane makes final decision to let peeps on,captain is boss

do the backpacks really contain all the clothes the contestants use for the whole duration of the season? or are the backpacks just for show?

On season 7, The Weaver family were the worst family because they bad mouth every opposing family, which including the kids

I believe a production secret is that they purposely allowed only 1 double-male team to race in season 5 because in 3 out of the 4 previous seasons, the winning team was a double-male team. Which in a way is why... SPOILER: Eric & Jeremy (Season 9 runners-up and 5-leg winners) weren't together in the Season 11 all-star season. Instead having Eric race with girlfriend Danielle.

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.

The Amazing Race vs The Farm

The secrets a only the first 10 seasons....let us know about 22 ,24 ...

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.

Covid closed NZ for a longtime

The views are so many here

Oooff... I just skipped the family season

That Terrible Families seasion that didn't make it to Australia at all. yeah spoilers for me.

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

Where are the captions for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to enjoy this video ??? :-(

Tbh I was happy Rob and Amber lost

what was the season where a team had a 12 hour lead

survivors

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