I've been working on a way to better organize the race summary sections of the individual season articles. I think it would help the flow of the articles if the Detour/Roadblock/Additional task descriptions were included in the location lists at the appropriate places, rather than being listed at the end. Also, the articles would look better if all the clue icons were left-aligned, rather than being scattered all over the place, and we could incorporate the individual leg prizes into the summary rather than having a separate section for them. Here's an example of what I have in mind, using the third leg of season 10. Let me know what you guys think.
In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to sell flowers on Vietnamese bicycles - enough to make at least 80,000₫ (dong VND - approximately USD $5). Teams were allowed to keep the money they made. In the Detour, teams chose between Fuel and Fowl. In Fuel, teams had to form wet coal into round bricks, a traditional Vietnamese fuel source. In Fowl, teams had to construct an intricate traditional Vietnamese birdcage.
Additionally, I think we should completely remove the flag icons from the race summaries. They aren't really necessary, and don't add any information, since they appear right next to the country name. -- Crazy Legs KC 01:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Per Wikipedia:MOSTV#Lead_paragraphs, I think we need to remove the "XXXX-time Emmy Award winning" bit from each season article. -- Madchester ( talk) 04:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
The Amazing Race 14 is now on the Travel Channel in the U.S. I'm not sure if this is a move from CBS or in addition to CBS or what, and I don't know how many seasons have been on the Travel Channel, but could someone with definitive info put that in the "Production" section of the article? Because the info as it stands right now is either incorrect or incomplete. Thanks! Softlavender ( talk) 08:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
In the map which describe what countries have commom version, it says that Israel and Lebanon have common version, which is wrong. This version is just in Israel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.219.9 ( talk) 19:11, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Should the Switchback be considered a revisited Roadblock rather than any revisited task? There aren't any sources I know of that state that it must be a Roadblock, so I moved the Switchback paragraph from the Roablock section into its own section. Any ideas on how we should discuss the Switchback, though? Hooky6 ( talk) 00:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
The following appears in the "Teams" section:
Can someone explain this? The way the text is currently phrased, the examples given are not counterexamples to the "original Race rules"... it says Dustin and Kandice knew each other but they weren't on separate teams, it also says Eric and Danielle met on the Race but they were on the same team for the All-Star season. -- 96.32.133.130 ( talk) 02:35, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
According to the article, it's only happened once. When/where did this happen? [If it's mentioned in another article, that should be linked, IMO.] Samer ( talk) 13:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I would like to make a suggestion that the "Express Pass" information should be relocated to after the "Route Information" "Detour" and "Roadblock" areas of the page considering that it only effects those three areas (and not the Fast Forward), it seems very random to place it in the Leg Structure. I didn't want to prematurely move it to only have it move back unless everyone was okay with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.210.18 ( talk) 02:19, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I think we need to work a way to talk about all the rules and the like without citing specific seasons particular with the focus on the US version, unless we can provide a cite that says such-and-such was added in season X for some specific reason from the producers. (eg we can likely talk about the roadblock sharing rule as I think there are good sources for that) This doesn't mean we leave any of these out, just-- we don't need to go into details of when they were introduced. -- MASEM ( t) 05:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I was at a Casino today and I played a really neat Amazing Race Slot machine. It had actual video of Phil giving instructions. Should this be integrated into the article? Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCc3rV-qaXk 174.1.48.24 ( talk) 01:29, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
I think the Central European version of TAR should be removed from the map in the "Around the World" section. It's no more than a project and it's difficult to say that Central Europe had "its own version of TAR". -- SimoneMLK ( talk) 16:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I totally agree, there was never a season aired, so it should not be included on the map. Gonzalochileno ( talk) 16:23, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
So... Anyone else? Can the map be edited? -- SimoneMLK ( talk) 10:04, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
I took Central Europe out, and added Norwegian version. But i don't know how to separta South Sudan from Sudan. Gonzalochileno ( talk) 02:58, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello! In the section on the modes of transportation used in the program, trucks is wikilinked. That is a disambiguation page, which should not be linked to. None of the available dab targets at that page suits this use of the word. A Wiktionary link might be the best option, but I would prefer to leave it to the folks who work on this page. Thanks, -- Tkynerd ( talk) 02:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that editors on this wiki cannot decide or differentiate between the two. There have been a few edit wars regarding them, especially in foreign editions. The way I see it, the foreign editions have never been entirely up-to-date on nomenclature or the specific rules. They're working off of a template.
That said, we DEFINITELY do not have any No-rest Legs before the airing of Season 18. As mentioned above, the foreign editions of the race work off a template of the American Race. As I understand it, that is how they offer the show to foreign markets...their rules must remain intact, for the most part. The only "new" feature I've noticed is the voting on Yields and U-Turns in Israel 2.
Some person on Asia 4 is adamant on his stance that their visit to Australia was two legs, with a no-rest leg halfway through. However, as I've said, this season aired before Season 18 even gave us the no-rest leg. Therefore, it can't be one.
For the most part, all seasons are switching from superlegs over to no-rest legs. Of that, there's not much doubt. But Asia 4 happened before the "switch".
Here's how I see it-
Double Legs:
6
7
8
9
10
14
Asia 1
Asia 2
Asia 4
China 2 and
Australia 1 (Plus the finale legs of all Latin American races)
No-rest Legs:
18
19
Israel 2 and
Latin America 3
Alan Wu likes to call the midpoints of Double Legs "Pit Stops". This means nothing. A Pit Stop doesn't expressly mean the leg is over. It's just a name for the spot with the mat.
70.68.97.58 ( talk) 10:53, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
How exactly would a double leg and a no-rest leg be differentiated? The only difference I can tell is that no-rest legs award prizes for the first place team at the pit stop, whereas double legs don't (some double legs don't even have "virtual pit stops").
Going by that definition, there would be 4 instances of no-rest legs: 1.) TAR 14 Leg 10 (Jaime & Cara were awarded jetskis at the mat for coming in first, though this was unaired) 2.) TAR 18 Leg 1 3.) TAR 18 Leg 4 4.) TAR 19 Leg 9
If that's the case, the notation at the TAR 14 page about Leg 10 needs to be changed. SilentGanda ( talk) 14:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
(FF = Fast Forward, SB = Speed Bump, DT = Detour, RB = Roadblock, NEL = Non Elimination and PS = Pit Stop)
FF rule
Before: The team should (claimed) take FF at least (minimum) two times
After: The team may (claimed) take FF only one time
SB vs FF rule
If SB precede FF, the NEL team must take SB then FF (example: RB->SB->FF->DT, SB->RB->FF->DT, etc)
If FF precede SB, the NEL team must take SB and not take FF and the NEL team penalty 1 hour if taking FF without SB (example: DT->FF->SB->RB, FF->DT->SB->RB, etc)

Express Pass can used to 8th leg and expired only once. but Salvage Pass can used to ????? leg and expired only ??? times.
