I have Season 2 on divx... so i'll end up expanding the location list when i'm done with season 1. This is still my fave season! -- Madchester 01:16, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
In the final episode of this race, when the teams checked in to the pit stop, it was noted that due to a minor production problem that cost Tara and Wil one minute, they were also granted the trip to London and Paris. What happened? Wanderer 01:47, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
Could the other detour choice on the final leg be driving across the frozen lake in those slow vehicles? SamK1994 ( talk) 21:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
HK is ultimately a part of China, even if it's an SAR. Likewise, Corsica is a "territorial collectivity" of France (Season 6), while England and Scotland are part of the United Kingdom. Unless it was pre-1997, there's no point in singling out HK as it's own "independent state". -- Madchester 18:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
In Leg 7, why is the country "People's Republic of China"? If we were to do that for each country we would be wasting a lot of room. for instance: Commenwealh of Australia and Federative Republic of Brazil. Also in Leg 12, why isn't we can't specify Hawaii, bolded and with a flag, just like you did with Hong Kong? The state didn't change for the rest of the leg. Anchorage 11:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Why only 10 roadblock in the roadblock performed list for the final three teams instead of 12 being in the race? As i know, they have 13 legs of the race. Aleenf1 05:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Two legs contained no roadblocks (1 and 13), and each team in the final 3 used the Fast Forward. Thus, they each only went through 10 roadblocks. -- SonicAD ( talk) 03:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Blake and Paige's jeep broke down during Leg 2 causing them to finish last. However, Blake threatened to sue the production for not providing a time credit, since the rules never fully explained the arrangements in event of a vehicle failure. Consequently, CBS' lawyers stepped in and awarded Blake and Paige with a time credit, thus eliminating Hope and Norm. Henceforth from Season 3 onward, the rules stated that teams needing a replacement vehicle would not be given any time credit.
This Statement showed what happened during closing stage of leg 2 on Trivia, after review on Television Without Pity, of course in my memory too i remember that is Black & Paige finish ahead of Hope & Norm at the mat. So, i wonder where came this source of statement??? Aleenf1 15:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
All I want to know is why? I edited out one spoiler concerning a later season and someone immediately reverted the changes. What is the point? This should be about season two only. There is a warning for spoilers, but presumably for season two, not for season eight. There are people who haven't seen season eight and its ending is spoiled under this entry. Basically it means that you can't access these pages if you haven't seen the later seasons and don't want to spoil them. Why does this page have to include information about later seasons anyway? It just doesn't make any sense. The entry is "The Amazing Race 2", not "The Amazing Race 1-9" for example. If you want to keep a running commentary about the records and incidents of later seasons, why can't it be compiled under some other page. The eighth season has nothing to do with the second. Or is this just a case of being inconsiderate to others because I have seen all the seasons, so it doesn't spoil the ending for me?
It is absolutely degrading and insulting to list Hong Kong as a part of China, when economically, politically, and administratively, it is different from China. This is a promotion of a Pro-China bias, one that I find inappropriate for Wikipedia. I would suggest that we list Hong Kong as Hong Kong. 70.190.243.86 ( talk) 18:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
We currently spell her name as Deidre, but if you look at the opening for episode 3 and onward it's spelled Diedre. The first two episodes spell it as Deidre but after that it changes. Did they make a correction or a typo? It's hard to tell as she's already been eliminated. Thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.48.24 ( talk) 02:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
What evidence is there that Mary and Peach skipped the last task and headed directly to the Pitstop? The summary tabel says this is so, however, upon watching it back, Mary and peach were filmed at the last task (a Roadblock), wearing the appropriate gear and picking up the final clue. They weren't filmed doing the Roadblock but we weren't told that they failed to do it. If there is no evidence that they did not do it, should it not be removed from the table? 80.255.209.231 ( talk) 15:46, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello there! Thank you for nominating this article to GA. Unfortunately, I will have to quickfail this article because it is a long way from meeting the good article criteria. Here are some recommendations to make the article better:
The edition marked the debut of several show traditions. The color scheme for all route markers and flags was changed to yellow and red after the previous season's yellow and white. In addition, host Phil Keoghan and a local greeter welcomed all teams arriving at the pit stops at the end of each leg. Previously, Keoghan had appeared only to greet the last-place teams.seems like original research, so unless you find a source that says this, you shouldn't inlcude it.
I noticed that you nominated 3 other articles that are seasons of The Amazing Race, unfortunately, those articles also have the same problems as this, so I will be quickfailing them, too. If you need help, I recommend utilizing WP:Peer review and referencing other Good Articles of similar subjects, like Survivor: Cook Islands. I also see that the article would need some copyediting so that it's clearer; you can ask the Guild of Copy Editors. And if you have questions, the WP:Teahouse is welcome to help you. Cheers!
