Note 1: Andre & Damon arrived 7th, but since they didn't follow the donkey route correctly, they were penalized 78 minutes and fell to 9th. They then overslept an extra three minutes at the start of the next leg. Dennis & Andrew arrived 8th and Teri & Ian arrived 9th.
Note 2: Dennis & Andrew used the Fast Forward in England, but they still fell behind the other teams and were eliminated.
Note 3: Heather & Eve arrived 1st, but they didn't follow the last clue (they travelled by taxi to the Pit Stop instead of on foot) and therefore received a 37 minute penalty.
Note 4: Derek & Drew arrived 3rd, but they forgot to pick up the clue containing the Roadblock which caused them to fall to last place and were eliminated.

• Red means the team was eliminated.
• Blue means the team was the last to arrive at a pit stop in a non-elimination leg of the race.
• Green means the team won the Fast Forward clue.

[edit] Trivia

[edit] General

• This edition has featured the first father/son team.

[edit] Pre-Race

• Jill and her brother originally applied for Season 1. Later, her brother was killed in 9/11, and John Vito and Jill applied in remembrance of him.

[edit] In Race

• Dennis & Andrew became the first team to use the Fast Forward and be eliminated. But they were not the first team to use it and be the last team to arrive. Joe & Bill used that and were last to arrive in Season 1. But they were not eliminated due to Nancy & Emily's 24-hour penalty for skipping the detour.
• Heather and Eve were the first team to arrive at the Pit Stop in Portugal on Leg 4, but they misread a clue that told them to walk to the Pit Stop rather than take a taxi. They proceeded to walk the rest of the way, but received a 7 minute time penalty for the advantage gained (the 2nd team arrived 7 minutes later), plus an additional 30 minutes. Since all teams arrived less than 37 minutes apart, Heather and Eve were the first team ever to arrive first and be eliminated.
• Andre and Damon were officially detained in Leg 6, when their taxi took them far out of the way in Morocco and they encounted a local official who wanted to seize their passports. Andre and Damon refused, and The Amazing Race's security team had to come help them out of the situation.
• On the "Dry" Detour of Leg 10, teams received a clue from Singaporean actor Gurmit Singh, who acted as Phua Chu Kang.
• On Leg 11 in Vietnam, all route markers were solid yellow instead of red and yellow. This was done to avoid confusion with the Vietnamese national flag, which is also red and yellow.
• On Leg 12, Flo & Zach switched their Detour task twice. This is the first time a team has switched Detours twice in the race.

[edit] Post Race

• After the race, John Vito and Jill hosted a show that promoted Singapore tourism.[1]
• Zach worked on NBC's production crew for the 2004 Summer Olympics. [2]
• Aaron accidentally stumbled upon one of the Pit Stops of Season 6 while backpacking in Europe.
