Do you have a question about the Amazing Race? Ask your question here and we'll do our best to track down the information.

Question 1. How do I apply to be on the Amazing Race?

Question 2. Can I submit my application to you?

Sorry, but we do not accept applications for the race. While we develop this wiki for CBS and The Amazing Race we are in no way affiliated with the people who produce the show. We have absolutely no influence on show decisions. Your best sourcechoice is to see CBS.comthe above link for more information on applying to any of your favorite CBS reality shows.

Question 3. Where can I see missed episodes online?

At this time, CBS has not chosen to make Amazing Race episodes available on their website. However, episodes are available on CBS.com for TAR13 and TAR14 only. We also suggest reviewing the recaps here on the wiki and you might be able to see clips on video websites like YouTube. Even better, make a friend that loves Amazing Race like you do and has a TiVo. Then you'll always have a backup plan if you miss an episode. If you'd like to watch past seasons, you can buy Season 1 and Season 7 on DVD. I'd also check your local tv listings to see if any stations have picked up old episodes on syndication. Game show network shows old episodes at 2 or 3 in the morning. Also, Fox reality shows past seasons with commentary by the racers. They just finished all stars and season 9 and are now doing season 10. THere is also a website to watch them called agroovysite.com. You could also go onto Youtube and find Feji17's channel, he has every season of the amazing race except for season 1 and most of season 3.You can also go www.youku.com(Chinese website).It have all season except 8.

Question 4. Who travels with each team?

Each team travels witwith one camera man and one sound guy that they must be able to accomadate into their travelling arrangements.Alsoarrangements (i.e. teams really need to buy 4 plane tickets rather than 2). Also production teams lurk around the areas that team will be visiting to oversee.

Question 5. What does Phil Keoghan do during each leg?

Phil visits the location a couple days before the racers and films the parts where he explains the Detour and Roadblock. He is then allowed to sight see. Following that, he stands on the mat and greets the teams at the Pit Stop.


Question 6. If a team is penalized without any just cause, is the 30-minute, 4-hour or 24-hour penalty dismissed, or does that team return next season due to a technical error? What happens next?
So far, no team has been unjustly penalized. How the situation would be handled will likely never be known.



Question 7. Is there a right or wrong way to perform a Roadblock, Detour or Fast Forward stunt so as not to be penalized?
No. Teams must do as the clue states.


Question 8. What really happens to a player or team when he/she commits an assault on producers, host or other teams? Is that team escorted off race premises due to a misconduct? ...obscene/profane language?
So far, no team or team member has performed any kind of assault on any race staff, other competitors, or bystanders. How the situation would be handled will likely never be known.

Question 9. If a team is penalized more than once, can that team choose to quit the race if they know they'll be eliminated?

Any team can quit at any given point in the race, regardless of the situation.

Question 10. If a team is eliminated or has voluntarily quit, can they appear on a game show or are they contractually required to go directly to the "elimination station?"
