	The Amazing Race 2

The Amazing Race (ahora mencionado como The Amazing Race 1) fue la primera entrega del reality show, The Amazing Race. Se estrenó el 5 de septiembre, 2001 y terminó el 12 de diciembre, 2001 en la televisión Estadounidense.

La Temporada 1 no fue particularmente un éxito en ratings, ya que se estrenó una semana antes de los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre. Inmediatamente después del 9/11, interés en extranjeros viajes decreció y la teleaudiencia, cayó correspondientemente. El show fue impedido más a fondo por la carencia de cobertura y de la promoción de medios como redes centradas en historias de las noticias y una programación más patriótica. El show hizo justo lo sufieciente para ganar una segunda temporada, la cual se emitió durante la siguiente primavera.

La larga prevista Temporada 1 DVD fue lanzada el 27 de septiembre, 2005, también la fecha del estreno para la Temporada 8.

• 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.
• ^ Dave & Margaretta arrived 6th, but were penalized one hour for improperly completing the Roadblock (They both rode the elevator to the top, rather than one person climbing the stairs, where Paul told them where to go next.) Because of this unintentional violation, they were penalized one hour and dropped to 8th.
• ¹ Frank & Margarita and Joe & Bill were the first two teams to arrive, but they misread the clue and received a 30 minute penalty. The penalty did not affect either of the teams placement.
• + Nancy & Emily arrived 4th, but had skipped the detour and therefore received a 24-hour penalty.
• * Joe & Bill did not reach the pit stop by the end of the episode (Beijing, China to Alaska, USA).
• ° Although Joe and Bill were in third place at the end of the episode, they did not finish the race. They received a clue in Alaska telling them the race was over and that Rob and Brennan won.
• ² Although the DVD shows some teams completing the unaired roadblock in Leg 1, not all teams are shown, therefore it cannot be told who completed said roadblock.

[editar] Trivia

[editar] General

• The introduction of each episode featured Phil's voice giving a brief synopsis of the show with theme music in the background and the presentation of the teams. Future seasons would then simply have the theme music with the presentation of the teams. However, Phil's synopsis was absent in one episode.
• The first leg included a roadblock (consuming an ostrich egg) that was not broadcast, but is included in the DVD set.
• Route marker flags were yellow and white in Season 1. In future installments, the flags changed colours to red and yellow so that teams can spot them more easily.
• Season 1 took 39 days to film, as opposed to the average four weeks in other seasons.
• Joe and Bill got the name 'Team Guido' from their pet toy fox terrier, Guido.

[editar] In-Race

• Host Phil Keoghan greeted only the last team to check in at each pit stop. In future seasons, Phil greeted all teams at the end of each leg.
• Clue boxes tended to represent the culture of the local pitstop. For example, the clue boxes in Zambia were a bamboo cylinder.
• Although the race is planned so that the final three teams will all reach the finish line, Bill and Joe were so far behind that they could not catch up and did not finish the race.
• On Leg 5 Paul and Amie were lost in the Sahara desert after trying numerous routes, getting half of their car stuck in a ditch, and Amie vomiting excessively. Paul quit, but his partner didn't and found the desert oasis pit stop by luck, unknowingly skipping the roadblock and route marker.
• At the end of Leg 5, teams were relocated to Gabès because of a sandstorm at the desert pitstop. Therefore, Leg 6 began in Gabès.
• An airport strike in Rome delayed Leg 6.
• During Leg 13, when Joe and Bill were still completing leg 12, Team Guido was required to have villagers bounce one teammate upwards by the use of an Alaskan tapestry. According to the DVD commentary, the tapestry broke under the weight so a trampoline had to be used instead. This created a noticeable and odd scene where you never see Team Guido and the villagers in the same shot. In the final shot, the trampoline is clearly visible behind the villagers.
• The pilot who flew Rob and Brennan and Frank and Margarita to Seattle in Leg 13 later contacted Rob and Brennan.

[editar] Post-Race

• After the race, Emily and Brennan broke up with their respective partners and started dating.
• Kevin and Drew made an appearance in Season 8, handing out clues from a hot dog stand in New York City.
• After the race, Frank and Margarita reconciled.
• After the race, Lenny and Karyn broke up.
