** Chad and Stephanie were a dating couple, who had quite a bit of friction in the race, but learned in Moscow to start trusting each other, and they became much friendlier to each other. The next leg, in Oman, Chad decided to propose to Stephanie using his mother's ring, which he had brought with him, waiting for the right moment to propose. She accepted, and their status changed from "Dating" to "Engaged". What's more, they came in first on that leg for the first time and got them a honeymoon trip!

Added DiffLines:

** The two's friendship is this as well. Zev reveals that they met at camp and Justin welcomed him into his group of friends, this can mean a lot to anyone with autism and had trouble making friends growing up. Especially considering Season 15 aired in 2009, and autism wasn't really brought into the mainstream until the mid-2010s. Even more so as mathematically this meant the two have been friends since the 90's right when high-functioning autism was first recognized as a thing. Three seasons later, the duo's friendship would be explored further. Justin is unflailingly patient and understanding to Zev's difficulties on the course whether it be dealing with the loud noise in China, Zev losing his patience at the zodiac roadblock, or Zev accidentally insulting Justin at the Roadblock. Justin and Zev's friendship isn't just special for autistic viewers, it's special period.

Added DiffLines:

** Christina reveals that she fell in love with Azaria from her season and the two are engaged now. It comes as a surprise since the two barely interacted in their season, both focusing on their race. The two are still married to this day and have three kids. Both parties lost despite being two of the strongest teams in their season, but they ended up finding something they weren't looking for (as both were dating other people at the time) that ended up being exactly what they needed.

** Leg 4, Brendon & Rachel and Margie & Luke were struggling at the Cocktail Detour and were fighting to avoid elimination. When Luke just starting to have a tantrum, Rachel gave him a pep talk so that he shouldn't give up. While this decision turned out to be horrible for Brenchel, Margie & Luke were grateful for her and admit that they saw her in a positive light. Fortunately for Brenchel, it's a non-elimination leg.

* Season 35. When Anna Leigh is in the middle of a HeroicBSOD over being in last and assuming she and her dad are going home without a doubt, both Morgan and the Beards actually attempt to encourage her, telling her that it's not over until Phil tells them it is. She actually takes it to heart and is shown to be much more cheerful for the rest of the leg.

** Robbin & Chelsea's arc. Chelsea used to bully Robbin, and became her best friend, sticking by her through Robbin's weight loss journey, bout with cancer, and loss of her husband. The two were a very opportunistic team, but it's clear they only did it because they wanted to win for their families. During the last leg, when it's clear that they have no chance of recovery, they appreciate the opportunity they've been given and are glad to have done this for their family. It's a return to pace to have that nuance for a team that made no secret they wanted to be there to win after many seasons post-COVID seasons edited teams as obviously fake, with painted on smiles, or as unequivocally bad for simply trying to win.
