Production

Development and filming
The overview of Pahrump from Pahrump Valley was the Starting Line of the Race.

The second season of The Amazing Race traveled 52,000 miles (third longest route Race after season 5 and 9) in 28 days , spanning 5 continents and 8 different countries. Filming occurred between January and February 2002. The Race visited the countries of Brazil, Namibia, Australia and New Zealand, the Chinese Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, as well as the continents of South America and, for the first time, Oceania. It was the only season (excluding The Amazing Race 8, which was run only in North America) to not stop in Europe.

The edition marked the debut of several Race traditions. The color scheme for all route markers and flags was changed to yellow and red after the previous season's yellow and white. In addition, host Phil Keoghan and a local greeter welcomed all teams arriving at the Pit Stops at the end of each leg.; previously, Keoghan appeared only to greet (and usually eliminate) the last-place team.

Leg 1 featured Heloísa Pinheiro, the real-life "Girl from Ipanema", who teams had to find on the "Beach" Detour option.

Contestant Cyndi Kalenberg[1] claimed that there was confusion about the vehicle replacement rules in Leg 2, in which the racers were informed that if their designated jeep broke down, the racers themselves would have to pay for repairs and wait for it to be fixed. Blake & Paige, however, were provided with a new vehicle when their jeep broke down, helping them to beat Hope & Norm in a race for second-to-last place to the Pit Stop. This enabled Blake & Paige to stay in the Race, while Hope & Norm were eliminated. For the next season, Race policy was changed so that a team would receive a replacement if a production-provided vehicle broke down or became unsafe to drive through no fault of the team. Teams would not be given any time credit in the event of a break down.

Graham Keating, Sydney's famous town crier,[2] served as the Pit Stop greeter during Leg 8.

Towards the end of the final leg, Chris & Alex passed Tara (and later Wil) in a footrace to the Finish Line. This marks the closest finish in the American version of The Amazing Race.

Cast

Eleven teams participated in the second season of The Amazing Race. The cast featured twins, a mother/daughter duo, siblings, grandmothers, pastors, and childhood friends.

Gary Rosen later returned to The Amazing Race to work as a story producer for the fifth season.

Blake Mycoskie went on to found Toms Shoes, a footwear company that donates a pair of shoes to children in need for every pair sold.

Future appearances

Oswald & Danny were selected to race in The Amazing Race: All-Stars among a cast of returning teams from the first ten seasons.

Alex Boylan went on to create and host the first season of the WGN America online reality show Around the World for Free, in which he journeyed around the world with no money to his name, relying on the generosity and hospitality of locals to continue on.[3]

Marketing

This season had two official sponsors: American Airlines and Royal Caribbean International. These two sponsors provided the prizes that were sometimes awarded to first place teams.

  • A red team placement indicates that the team was eliminated.
  • An underlined blue team placement indicates that the team was the last to arrive at a Pit Stop in a non-elimination leg of the Race.
  • A green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward clue. If placed next to a leg number, this indicates that the Fast Forward was available for that leg but not used.
  1. ^ There is ambiguity over the spelling of Deidre's name. In the first two episodes, the opening and on-screen graphics show her name as "Deidre". Beginning with the third episode, the opening shows her name as "Diedre".
  2. ^a b Blake & Paige and Hope & Norm both agreed to a 4th place tie after both teams stepped on the Pit Stop mat at the same time.
  3. ^a b Blake & Paige and Shola & Doyin both agreed to a 5th place tie after both teams stepped on the Pit Stop mat at the same time.
  4. ^ Peggy & Claire left the Pit Start in Foz do Iguaçu 37 minutes late since they overslept and missed their departure time. This did not affect their departure placement in Leg 3.
  5. ^a b c In their respective elimination legs, Peggy & Claire (Leg 3), Shola & Doyin (Leg 4), and Mary & Peach (Leg 7) all fell so far behind by the time where all the other teams had already checked in (Peggy & Claire arrived at the Route Marker in Robben Island; Shola & Doyin were unable to complete the Detour; Mary & Peach arrived at the Roadblock location). Instead of being allowed to complete all tasks left in the leg, they were each instructed to go directly to the Pit Stop for elimination.
  6. ^a b Gary & Dave and Chris & Alex initially arrived 2nd and 7th, respectively, but they were each issued a retroactive 42-minute penalty for speeding during the leg (30-minute standard penalty plus 12-minutes for time gained). Both teams elect to serve their penalties at the start of Leg 5; while Chris & Alex position was not affected by the penalty, Gary & Dave departed 3rd on the next leg.
  7. ^ Tara & Wil attempted to do the Fast Forward on Leg 8, but they did not want to wait with the hours of operation. As a result, no team claimed the Fast Forward.
  8. ^a b Wil and Blake both incorrectly performed the Roadblock with their partners and had to completely re-do the Roadblock before getting their next clue. This did not affect either of their placements.
  9. ^ Tara & Wil initially arrived 2nd, but were given a 1-minute credit due to a minor production difficulty. This allowed them to tie for first with Blake & Paige, and were also given the prize for winning the leg as a result.

The leg's Detour was a choice between Freak Out or Seek Out. In Freak Out, teams had to hang glide in tandem with a local instructor, gliding from the mountain to the beach below.

In Slide, teams had to take a safety briefing from an instructor and then slide down the steep side of a dune to a route marker at the bottom, reaching speeds of up to 60 mph.

  • At Swakopmund Lighthouse, teams had to spot marked 4x4 vehicles on a parking lot. Once spotted, teams must travel down to the lot and choose a vehicle with their next clue on the windshield. For safety reasons, they were accompanied by a local driver who took over the wheel at dusk.

Additional tasks
  • At Seven Spires, teams were told to travel "to the top floor of the tallest building in Hong Kong".[6] They had to figure out it meant the Central Plaza.
  • At the 46th floor (not the top) of Central Plaza, teams used binoculars to search the area for a "green and white star", which they had to figure out was the colors of the Star Ferry terminal at Wan Chai Pier on the ground below.
Additional notes
  • Though the section in Sai Kung Town was edited out, there was a scene showing a passer-by helped Tara & Wil to speak "towards Sai Kung" (in Cantonese) to their taxi driver near the herbalist store. Meanwhile, Blake & Paige instructed their taxi driver "to Kwai Chung" at Ping Shek Estate terminus, the closest urban transport hub from Sai Kung, suggesting that this unaired route marker was after the Detour but before the Roadblock. In addition, Mary & Peach were seen to make "our own Pit Stop" inside Corner Café, a bar in Sai Kung Town, after completing the Detour, proving that there was an unaired segment in the area.
  • The boarding place of the sampan to the Pit Stop was wrongly introduced as in Aberdeen instead of Central, both on CBS website[7] and by Phil's narration. "Having won the Fast Forward, Gary and Dave can now skip all remaining tasks, go to the town of Aberdeen, find this pier, and then catch a ride on one of these boats known as sampans. The sampan will take them to the Chinese junk anchored in the middle of Hong Kong harbour," said Phil on the episode.
