The Amazing Race 2
Template:Infobox Television Amazing Race The Amazing Race 2 is the second installment of the reality television show The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race 2 featured 11 teams of two with a pre-existing relationship in a race around the world. It premiered on March 11, 2002 and ended on May 15, 2002.
Childhood friends Chris Luca and Alex Boylan won this edition of the race.
The complete season was released on DVD, January 24, 2011, exclusively on Amazon.com via their CreateSpace program.
Production
Development and Filming
The second season of The Amazing Race traveled 52,000 miles in 28 days, spanning 5 continents and 8 different countries. Filming occurred between January and February 2002. The new countries visited on the race were Brazil, Namibia, Australia and New Zealand. Also, the race visited South America and Oceania for the first time.
The route markers were changed to Yellow and Red from Yellow and White of the last season. Also, the cluebox made its debut. Starting in this season, host Phil Keoghan stood at the pit stop on every leg. He welcomed all arriving teams instead of merely welcoming (and dismissing) the last team to arrive.
Cyndi (of Russell and Cyndi)[1] stated that there was confusion about the vehicle replacement rules in Leg 2, where the racers were given a note stating that if their designated jeep broke down, the racers themselves would have to pay for repairs and wait for it to be fixed. Blake and Paige, however, were provided with a new vehicle when the original jeep they were driving broke down, which allowed them to beat Hope and Norm in a race for second-to-last place to the Pit Stop, allowing Blake and Paige to stay in the race, moving on to eventually become one of the season's final 3 teams, while Hope and Norm were eliminated. Henceforth, from Season 3 onward, the rules have stated that teams would always receive a replacement vehicle if the one they had broke down through no fault of their own, but they also would not be given any time credit for the unfortunate situation.
During Leg 13, the final leg, no Detour clue was shown. As no team is shown onscreen reading the Snow Cat instructions at Trapper's Creek, it is speculated that all teams simply chose the same Detour option here, and the other choice was edited out.[2] At the end of Leg 13, Tara & Wil had the lead but Tara was passed by Chris & Alex in a foot race[3] with less than 40 yards to go. This marked the closest finish in The Amazing Race history.
A short video clip from the Detour of Leg 8 was later shown in The Amazing Race All-Stars. It was shown when Oswald and Danny were performing a task while wearing a dragon's-head costume in Macau, as they recalled similarities between the Detour in Hong Kong and the one they were currently performing in Macau.
Cast
Eleven teams participated in the second season of The Amazing Race, the cast featured twins, a mother & daughter duo, siblings, grandmothers, pastors, and childhood friends. Oswald and Danny were selected to race in The Amazing Race All-Stars, where they once again finished in 4th place. They found a friendly letter from Blake & Paige during the mail-sorting roadblock on Leg 4.
The season featured Heloísa Pinheiro, the real-life "Girl from Ipanema" as the woman on the "Beach" Detour option in the first Brazil leg.
Chris got married while Alex participated in a project called "Around the World For Free", where he travels around the world starting with no money, and relies on the generosity and hospitality of locals to continue on.[4]
Gary was an editor on The Amazing Race 5.
Blake later founded TOMS Shoes, a footwear company that donates a pair of shoes to needy children for every pair sold.
There has been some confusion over the spelling of Deidre's name. In the first few eipsodes, including the one they actually raced on, it was spelled both on-screen and in the opening as Deidre. However, starting with the third episode, the opening spells her name Diedre.
Marketing
This season had two official sponsors; American Airlines and Royal Caribbean International. These two sponsors provided the prizes that were sometimes awarded to teams that arrived in first place.

- A red team placement indicates that the team was eliminated.
- An underlined blue team placement indicates that the team was the last to arrive at a pit stop in a non-elimination leg of the race.
- A green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward clue. If placed next to a leg number, this indicates that the Fast Forward was available for that leg but not used.
- ^ Peggy & Claire left the pit start in Foz do Iguaçu over 37 minutes late because they missed their departure time. This did not affect their overall placement in Leg 3.
- ^a b c Peggy & Claire, Shola & Doyin, and Mary & Peach had each fallen so far behind the other teams in their respective elimination legs that they ended up not completing all the tasks set out for them. Instead, they were instructed to go directly to their respective Pit Stops, where they were each eliminated.
- a b Gary & Dave initially arrived 2nd, but were penalized 42 minutes for speeding, and consequently they departed in 3rd place for the next leg. Chris & Alex received the same penalty as Gary & Dave, but since they were departing in last place, this didn't affect their placement.
- ^ Tara & Wil initially arrived 2nd, but were given a 1 minute credit due to a minor production difficulty that caused them a slight delay. Thus they were tied with Blake & Paige for 1st place as a result and also received the first place prize.
