General:

• This race was the first one to start and end at the same location, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, near Denver. Other races have started and ended in the same city (Season 1 in New York City and Season 6 in Chicago), but the location of the start and stop lines have been in different parts of the city.
• The most swearing in one season.

Pre-Race:

• The Amazing Race isn't Tyler's only traveling claim to fame. In 2004, he walked the whole length of Japan to impress his Japanese girlfriend as well as make a documentary about the experience called Kintaro Walks Japan. By the end of the trip, he was often running into many locals who already knew him as "Kintaro" from the TV news.
• BJ appeared on a campus TV program called "The BJ Show" in honor of himself and co-host BJ Novak. Novak is now a writer/producer/actor on NBC's hit comedy show "The Office".
• BJ Averell is also the best friend of Harvard graduate, former band member of North & South, and Top 40 contestant of American Idol (Season 6), Tom Lowe

In-Race:

• When BJ and Tyler offered Phil the dollar they received at the start of the leg that they didn't need, at the pit stop in Moscow, they told him "don't waste that opportunity." This was likely a reference to Phil's Discovery Channel show and book, No Opportunity Wasted.
• On Leg 4, BJ and Tyler wore "Bowling Mom" t-shirts, in homage to Linda and Karen in Season 5.
• In Leg 8, Eric and Jeremy questioned the intelligence of BJ & Tyler's choice of Detours by saying that they thought "they were supposed to be smart; didn't they go to Harvard and Stanford?" BJ did graduate from Harvard, but Tyler went to the University of California at Santa Cruz. Eric and Jeremy's comment is quite revealing though, since Tyler achieved some media attention in 1999 for his failed political-style "campaign" to be admitted to Stanford They'll Try Anything - Stanford Alumni Magazine.
• Although it seemed BJ & Tyler and Joseph & Monica were in a race for who would get to use the Yield in Leg 9, BJ & Tyler revealed on RFF Reality TV Podcast that Joseph & Monica had earlier lost their envelope containing their 'courtesy of' sticker, and thus lost their power to use any future Yields.
• In The Roadblock of Leg 9, one camera was dropped off of the plane with each racer and another was tied to the parachute.
• One of the locations that Tyler and BJ delivered to in the Detour for Leg 11 was the offices of GONZO, an anime studio.
• Leg 11 was a 36 hour Pit Stop. During their time at the Pit Stop, teams were able to go on rides at the amusement park they had just visited.
• Racers may have been given hints to the final Roadblock (involving placing flags of countries visited in sequential order) throughout the race. Footage from Leg 5 shows a clue with the Italian flag printed above the clue information. This and other flag hints may have appeared on other clues.
• During his appearance on The Amazing Race All-Stars Eric claimed that he and Jeremy were less than 5 minutes behind BJ and Tyler and from winning The Amazing Race 9.

Post-Race:

• Ray proposed to Yolanda on the CBS Early Show on the morning after the season finale. While it was a total shock to her, Yolanda enthusiastically accepted.
• Dave & Lori are currently engaged.
• Due to scheduling conflicts with the season finale and the premiere of the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, Eric & Jeremy stated that they were unable to attend the premiere of the movie at the Cannes Film Festival, which was their prize for gaining first place on Leg 6. Eric & Jeremy later stated that CBS was going to give them a different prize to make up for it.
• Joseph and Monica got married.
• On The Finish Line, Eric announced that he was dating Danielle and had planned to move to New York to be closer to her.
• Eric and Danielle were selected to race in The Amazing Race All-Stars, and are the only All-Star team that had not previously raced as a team.
  • Following the All-Stars race, Eric & Danielle said in a post-race interview that they are no longer dating due to the fact they live too far apart, and are now just friends.
• Tyler apparently planned a controversial walk across with Iran with an Iranian-American friend of his to promote world peace, but the idea has not happened at the present time.
