What versions are you talking about? If you're just asking about the US version, then it is only Dennis & Andrew (Season 3, leg 3) and Mark & Bopper (Season 20, leg 10).

Upon further investigation, no other situation like this has happened in any other version of The Amazing Race. So the answer to your question is, yes, it was only Dennis & Andrew and Mark & Bopper who met this grisly fate!

I have a question.

In TAR11, there are 2 consecutive NEL's, and at the time, the penalty was a 30 minute penalty at the next Pit Stop if you weren't first. What would've happened if Oswald & Danny made it to the Pit Stop before Eric & Danielle's penalty expired? Would their remaining penalty carry over to the Pit Start time or to the next Pit Stop?

I can't be 100% sure, but I don't think anyone can and logically I think it would've been applied to their departure time for the following leg. The other option you considered wouldn't really make sense, because it wasn't a KOR/ZHPS leg.

I wonder what would happen if there was an Intersection, but one team was medically removed from the race before it.

(I get the sneaking suspicion someone's asked this already...)

They'd probably adjust the intersection. ??? Either by taking it away, or by moving it to a different leg.

Possible situations about the intersection mostly remain a mystery, :gaah: and is only being speculated. :funny:

fwiw China Rush 2 saw Summer & Eachen quit on a leg that was allegedly meant to be an NEL with 8 teams, followed by an Intersection; whether it had anything to do with it or not the Intersection appeared later in the race.

(incidentally production somehow let them get away with U-Turning another team right before leaving  :funny:)

I was just watching TAR 19. Once thing boggles me. Why is the Sydney Opera House included in TAR19's opening sequence?
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

Who was the first team ever to pay a taxi to lead them somewhere while they drove?

Well, it was team in Season 1, when they had to self-drive but I can't think who it was.  :umn:

In episode 6, Frank had the taxi driver lead him to the pit stop at Sant' Agata Bolognese.

OK, well how about the second time then, since that one was part of a task.

That Sydney Opera House is from TAR18 sequence, they often recycle some sequence from previous seasons, therefore you'll see some of previous seasons' sequence.

There are flash images of spoiler locations interspersed with old pics in the Intros--we have fun decoding them!

Over the years, it's been unclear who has been offered a chance to comeback. Phil & production have mostly been quiet. I know Flo declined to race again.

Does anyone know who were alternate choices for these returnee seasons - TAR 11: (Real) All-Stars, TAR18, & TAR24 (fake All-Stars)?

As far as I've read

TAR 11
----------
-Flo with Drew (S3), this was supposed to be the composite slot that Eric & Danielle filled. She turned it down because they wouldn't let her race with Zach, and the the way they portrayed her.
-Colin & Christie (S5). Christie was pregnant at the time.
-Meredith & Gretchen (S7). Turned it down because they felt they couldn't do it again at their age.

TAR 24
---------
-Andy & Tommy (S19). One had a newborn baby, I forgot which (Too bad, a team who really deserved to be there :( )
-Tim & Marie (S23). Marie declined. Too soon after getting back from filming 23, and similiarly to Flo, she didn't like her portrayal.

There has been a lot of speculation about this.

Unless the racer or production confirms it publicly...it remains speculation. And most racers would not dream of possibly jeopardizing further opportunities. :tup:

The one about Marie is.

She made a tweet addressing that during 24.
