History Trivia / TheAmazingRace

** Season 21 had Josh Kilmer-Purcell & Brent Rdige, stars of the reality show ''The Fabulous Beekman Boys'', Chippendale performers Jaymes Vaughan (known for having released the dance song "Vampire") and James Davis (frontman for Vegas metal band My Name Engraved), and James [=LoMenzo=], metal bassist from White Lion, Megadeth, and other bands.

** Season 36 was actually recorded before season 35 (October 25 to November 17, 2022 and June 13 to July 8, 2023, respectively), but will begin airing on March 13, 2024, whereas season 35 aired from September 27 to December 13, 2023. This is because CBS decided to extend the episode length to 90 minutes due to the [[UsefulNotes/TVStrikes 2023 Writers Guild of America strike]]. This is especially notable as season 36 was the last season recorded under COVID restrictions while season 35 was a return to the pre-COVID format.

* SequelFirst: Some seasons are aired out of order in other countries, which usually doesn't make a difference, except in those markets that aired All-Stars before Season 10, meaning these fans [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros were introduced to Dustin & Kandice and David & Mary prior to their original season airing.]]
* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: Season 32 was filmed in November-December 2018 and was supposed to finally air in Spring 2020 but got put on ice again after CBS needed something to air in the Fall after the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the filming of scripted shows.

** ''The Amazing Race Australia'' season 7 is a CelebrityEdition. Notable in that [[Beau engineered this]].

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The editors somehow managed to this during Season 24. During a CallBack in leg 3, Meghan & Joey talked about how they had previously walked to the Pit Stop in Switzerland when they couldn't find a cab, while "Season 18" was subtitled on the bottom of the screen. Meghan & Joey weren't on Season 18, they were on Season 22. What makes it more ridiculous is that Season 18 is a returning player season.

** Harlem Globetrotters "Flight Time" & "Big Easy" in Season 15. Also in the same season are Professional poker players Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle. Tiffany was recognized at the airport in Tokyo.

** ''The Amazing Race China'', the first season is a celebrity season

* TropeNamer: For EliminatedFromTheRace.

* NamesTheSame: Canada Season 2 contestant Bob Hope, same as comedian Creator/BobHope.

** Season 33’s original route after stopping after two UK legs would have consisted of Sweden, Austria (with a trip over the Italian border), South Africa which hasn’t been visited since season 7, Malawi, Vietnam, Indonesia, a long awaited return to Australia, and Peru. The finale would have taken place in Houston.

* FanNickname: Even ignoring season-specific nicknames for teams and individual racers, we have "The Philbrow" (Phil's FascinatingEyebrow), "Philimination" (being EliminatedFromTheRace by Phil), "Exposition Hands" (AnInsert), "Killer Fatigue" (the point when stress starts to take its toll on the racers), "MercyKill" (automatically eliminating a team that is trailing to the point that it's simply not possible for them to catch up, barring all the other teams dropping dead before they get to the Pit Stop, instead of making them finish the leg), "[=NELs=]" (short for Non-Elimination Legs), and the "Super Leg" (for those double length legs which last two episodes).

** [=YouTuber=] [[WebVideo/ThePhilipDefrancoShow Philip DeFranco]] and his wife Lindsay were one of the social media teams considered for season 28, but were ultimately not selected. Had they been on the race, the OneSteveLimit of no contestants named Phil would have finally been averted.
