When to update[edit]

As far as I'm aware, in the past we haven't edited until it finished on CBS. Why are you all editing it now? Stjimmy61892 (talk) 02:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have an editor who lives in Canada and got it on time. Stop removing the results.—Ryulong (竜龙) 02:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, the page is editted as and when the episode is aired on TV, during it airing even(As it's easier).86.15.195.205 (talk) 21:47, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And it does not matter who gets the show first. They have the right to update the page when it airs in their locality.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And in this case it was just a rare occurance that the show was aired elsewhere before CBS did, I don't think this is really an issue anymore, but good to have in the open for future reference if it does happen again anyway 86.15.195.205 (talk) 20:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CBS is always in a delay, meaning Canada's get the show earlier most of the time. Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 21:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't heard of that before. CBS does sometimes have over runs, but airs Amazing Race ontime most of the time.86.15.195.205 (talk) 00:23, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I shouldn't have said always but it is most of the time in delay. Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 00:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CBS will have delays due to sports, while it was an extreme rarity for CTV to decide to air everything 2 hours early for the Oscars.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Attention US viewers[edit]

"To US editors: Canadians got episode 2 early. Per WP:SW, do NOT revert any edits just because it is a spoiler." Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 23:18, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leg 3 pit stop greeter[edit]

Well, I saw this gorgeous young lady as a greeter in the pit stop and it's actually Fiorella Migliore (in Italian) who crowned Miss Italia nel Mondo 2008. Any thoughts? ApprenticeFan ^work 14:32, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably something that should be sourceable to confirm, though I've not seen it yet. We need to be careful on just visual appearances, as the guy from last week could have been mistaken as a pro soccer superstar (he wasn't) . --MASEM (t) 14:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's really her, seen the picture on Phil's Twitter account, can we just confirm? [1] ApprenticeFan ^work 14:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We never mention Pit Stop greeters. Hell, leg 2's was more important.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually we do mention notable greeters, at least in Seasons 13 and 16. Then again, I distinctly remember Phil's father introducing himself as such during that episode; I don't remember if Bao Xishun did. I don't see a problem with mentioning Migliore in that section if we can properly source it. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if it was not specifically mentioned in the show, then I don't see why it's necessary for us to state it.—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't do any harm if included and properly sourced, but ultimately is not critical to having a complete article. I'm not going to add it myself, but if someone else does I wouldn't remove it. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel & Dave[edit]

I think this additional comment is somehow interesting and can be added to the article. "They are also the first team to stay in the race after failing to complete a task." This is something like the cowboys Jet & Cord where they are the first team who went from the last place, completed a speed bump, and became first in the next leg. 07 Matthew (talk) 04:51, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not important. Neither was the mention in the other article about Jet & Cord.—Ryulong (竜龙) 04:55, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's also not true (even though Phil did say it). In Season 7, remember Rob couldn't finish the challenge where they had to eat like 4 pounds of meat, and he started talking others into also not doing it, so he wouldn't be the only one with a penalty. There were 3 teams who took a 4 hour penalty for not completing the task, and I don't think any of them were eliminated that leg. --LarryJeff (talk) 16:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He said did not complete any task, as remember they never completed the detour as well (they used the express pass). Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 00:32, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is ultimately not important to mention.—Ryulong (竜龙) 01:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think other teams in the amazing race 20 are relative week with the exception of Art & J.J.Cristiano Toàn (talk) 09:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Organized summaries[edit]

Instead of one paragraph for the detours and roadblocks, couldn't we do something like this:

Roadblock - The Roadblock required one team member to guide a ring through an underwater rope maze whilst using diving equipment. If the team member did not finish the puzzle in time (which is when the diver instructor told them the time is up), the team would incur a four-hour penalty for not completing the Roadblock (which would be assessed at the pit-stop).

Detour - Rapid Water or Rapid Fire
In both detours, teams had to first drive themselves to Kiulu River White Water Rafting.

In Rapid Water, teams had to sail a bamboo raft down river rapids and across the river to retrieve their next clue.
In Rapid Fire, both teammates had to shoot Malaysian slingshots at two targets to receive their next clue.

Kartoffel07 (talk) 14:11, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. I don't think this is better. We've been writing these things out in prose for a while. There is no need to suddenly convert everything into a list and this is how we do things on at least 30 pages. Things in the paragraphs are clear enough.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Ryulong. In HaMerotz LaMillion 2, there's a paragraph in Detour/Roadblock/Fast Forward/Speed Bump in all legs. At least, there's no single paragraph. ApprenticeFan ^work 02:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HaMerotz LaMillion 2's formatting should not have been made into that format, though.—Ryulong (竜龙) 02:38, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess... Thanks anyway! :) Kartoffel07 (talk) 09:24, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel & Brendon[edit]

Why are their relationship status PhD Student & Cocktail Waitress (or whatever) that's their jobs, not their relationship. (JohnBigOz, not too bothered to log in) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.235.6 (talk) 23:15, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's how they are credited on the show, and our articles only reflect how they are credited on the show. If you want more detail than that this is the wrong venue to be asking. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:18, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Roadblock In Leg 7[edit]

Is there a roadblock in Leg 7? Was it edited out? If so, do we need to put a footnote?Airlinesguy (talk) 01:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, there's no roadblock in Leg 7. ApprenticeFan ^work 01:49, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes there just aren't roadblocks. This isn't a life ending situation.—Ryulong (竜龙) 02:00, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just asking. Chill, Ryulong!! :)Airlinesguy (talk) 11:04, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did it appear my jimmies were rustled?—Ryulong (竜龙) 18:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a bit. I probably made it sound like it was a life ending situation too!!Airlinesguy (talk) 23:49, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, Ryulong was just saying it wasn't a big deal, and nothing more. Anyway the lack of a roadblock in this leg was probably due to how remote the location was, if anything.86.15.195.205 (talk) 18:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pitstop Leg 11[edit]

Nishi-no-Maru Garden was the pitstop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.68.23.226 (talk) 01:16, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brendon and Rachel[edit]

I read in this The Hollywood Gossip and CBS News that Brendon & Rachel are married. Can someone help cite one of these articles, and say that Brendon & Rachel are now married? Thanks! --Garnershiqian (talk) 08:19, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate non-free image use[edit]

There are so many Bollywood dance related files on Commons then why a non-free image has been used in this article? User:Kartoffel07 has given so poor rationale (apparently it's just a copy of another one) that it's difficult to articulate how the image meets the NFCC. IMO, the use of this non-free image is not possible in this article because its presence does not significantly increase readers’ understanding, as required by Wikipedia’s non-free content policy. — Bill william compton^Talk 12:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing that out. I have replaced it with a free image. (Outside of any TAR show images, all of these destination photos NEED to be free images). --MASEM (t) 13:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Episode title locations[edit]

Why are the location names removed from the episode titles? Weren't they used during the time this season was being aired? And that the locations names in episode titles were dropped starting S22? Albertdaniel222 (talk) 12:18, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:The Amazing Race 1 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 01:45, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
