Short answer: Congratulations Max & Katie for winning The Amazing Race 22!

Long answer:

Leg 5: Everyone survives, null point.
Leg 6: Everyone survives, null point.
Leg 7: I feel that Jessica & John would probably make the same mistake as Pam & Winnie, which means either of them could be eliminated. It branches off into two directions from here.

Leg 8 With JJ eliminated in Leg 7: Chyona still eliminated.
Leg 8 With Pam & Winnie eliminated in Leg 7: Chyona still eliminated.

Leg 9 With JJ eliminated in Leg 7: Moot point.
Leg 9 With Pam & Winnie eliminated in Leg 7: Moot point.

Leg 10 With JJ eliminated in Leg 7: Everything is the same, with Pam & Winnie replacing Bates & Anthony.
Leg 10 With Pam & Winnie eliminated in Leg 7: It's an even 5 way race because any of the remaining alliance (JJ/Mona & Beth/Joey & Meghan) would tell each other about the other flight, causing Caro & Jen to be eliminated.

Leg 11:  With JJ eliminated in Leg 7: Pam & Winnie might have some trouble at the Roadblock, but I forecast a Caro & Jen elimination regardless.
Leg 11 with Pam & Winnie eliminated in Leg 7: Mona & Beth eliminated, because John & Jessica would find it easier to swim, being surfers.

Leg 12 with JJ eliminated in Leg 7: Caro & Jen/Pam & Winnie/Maxie F3, I predict a Maxie win, who weren't that far behind Bates & Anthony at the time.
Leg 12 with Pam & Winnie eliminated in Leg 7: Close race between Maxie and JJ, Maxie pull through barely.

What if one of a team's backpacks broke suddenly while running to the Pit Stop?

I would like to hear back some interesting scenarios. (Most preferably foot races.)

I'm not even going to go there with Jonathan & Victoria.... :ascared
How about giving thoughts on Lorena & Jason (suddenly broken backpack) and Team Latina's foot race in Burkina Faso? ;)
Let me rephrase that with a different scenario, but similar idea... What if Marianna & Julia (Team Latina) never helped Lorena at the camel milking Roadblock?

Will the dating couple be eliminated?
If they did, which team would Shana & Jennifer U-Turn instead?
Would this have a distinctive outcome on the entire race?

So many questions... :pull

Countries "raced": Greece (2019), Italy (2017), Switzerland (2017), Taiwan (2016), U.S. (WA 2013, CA [S.F. 2014, L.A. 2023], TX 2021, IL all the time)

If Team Latina didn't help Lorena at the roadblock, the dating couple would fall for the 9th place finish curse and they'd be one of those teams on the first to worst list.
But since they were far behind all the other teams, whether Shana & Jennifer u-turn team Latina or not, Team Latina probably wouldn't survive the 4th leg.

What if the w-turn never existed from TAR 17 onwards and those w-turn would either be ordinary u-turns or blind u-turns only? Who could be the u-turn survivors?

What if Brook & Claire raced for TAR:UB instead of Gary & Mallory? How far do you think could they've gone? Could they make it back to the F3 or win the race? Who would win the EP?

I think they would've raced in place of one of the myriad of TAR14 teams.

Maybe this is not an exactly "what if" or maybe this should be posted in wishlist thread. But, what if the production remake early TAR seasons when it's not HD quality yet but with new teams? So, they'll visit all the countries in order they appear on their original season, do the exact same tasks, but with new twist(s) added, such as Express Pass, Double (Blind) U-turn(s), etc.

For example, they remake TAR 1 route with new teams. So, they'll start from Bethesda Fountain, head to South Africa, and so on. Maybe for us (RFF-ers), it'll be really easy to track them, but I just want to imagine early seasons of TAR being made HD quality. :lol:

That is a very very good idea.  :hrt:

It just couldn't be good for one reason:
It's essentially a giant Switchback. :(

Yeah... That's the main problem here. If they haven't introduced the term "Switchback" yet, it would be great... :(

What if they called it "The Amazing Race: Memories" or "The Amazing Race: Switchback Edition"? :lol: I know it sucks. :P

No, Kami, it doesn't. It is still a good idea, but I think if they do DO that, they have to change or add new challenges. :)

If I could choose which team should be replaced, I'd say Mel & Mike. I found a trivia saying Gary & Mallory were the replacements of Brook & Claire. :(

Since when did Brook & Claire have "unfinished business" in their final leg? ??? Without any costly reason, Gary & Mallory were definitely confirmed for this season.
I think TAR14 (Amanda & Kris, Mel & Mike, [maybe] Jaime & Cara) had the replacements because of the odd amount of imbalance with that season. Here's what I think:

Amanda & Kris substituted for Joe & Heidi (Similar situation, but Team Filipinos' race ended more catastrophically)

Mel & Mike substituted for Dan & Andrew :hearts: (Dandrew needed a comeback from their semi-awful performance in TAR13) :lol3:

Jaime & Cara substituted for Maria & Tiffany (The carrot tops just had taxi bad luck, Maria & Tiffany were robbed at the folk Detour)

But see... UB was really just a rebranding of All-Stars because All-Stars 2 sounds terrible. So I'm pretty sure they would have just gotten fan favourites *coughBrookandClairecough* anyway.

What if the EP never existed? Which teams' placements would be affected?
What if the speedbump never existed? Which teams would survive the MFE penalty in TAR 12-22?

All the teams' placements would be affected except for Natalie & Nadiya.

Jill & Thomas - Back of the pack or maybe last
Gary & Mallory - Back of the pack
Ernie & Cindy - Middle of the pack to back of the pack
Rachel & Dave - Back of the pack
Dave & Connor - Front of the pack to middle of the pack

What if Lori had read the additional information on the Sri Lanka roadblock and didn't forgot to bring the ticket?
TAR Canada: Vanessa & Celina
TAR 23: Tim & Marie, Nicky & Kim, Tim & Danny

She's really pissed that we're asking her because she has BUSINESS to do.

Only Mona & Beth can use the u-turn since Joey & Meghan used their u-turn power in Vietnam, but if they got on the earlier flight, then they are on the same flight with all the other teams. Bates & Anthony arrived at the u-turn first anyway, so Joey & Meghan would still be u-turned. Mona & Beth have a speedbump, but if they beat Max & Katie at the detour, then Mona & Beth would probably u-turn Max & Katie, if not Caroline & Jennifer. So, if Joey & Meghan and Max & Katie received the u-turn, Max & Katie wouldn't win the leg, and Joey & Meghan would probably be eliminated. (I don't know how long Caroline was doing the roadblock.) However, if Joey & Meghan and Caroline & Jennifer received the u-turn, Caroline & Jennifer go home in Edinburgh. Then on Belfast, either Mona & Beth or Joey & Meghan would receive the F4 boot, and Joey & Meghan might even become underdogs on the final leg if they have survived their 2nd u-turn. Additionally, if Joey & Meghan survived their 2nd u-turn, they'd get the record for the team u-turned twice and still survive in both u-turns.
