Amazing Race Questions
VicTT:
I have a bit of a theoretical question: Assume it's an elimination leg, and there are 2 teams left to reach the Pit Stop; the last team would get eliminated.
What happens if both teams step on the mat *at the same time*? They could, for instance, talk about it beforehand and hold hands while stepping on the mat all at the same time. Would they all get eliminated? Would neither get eliminated?

First of all, :hello2: and :bigwelcome to RFF, VicTT!
To try answering your question, if given that scenario, I think Phil would ask them off-camera who wants to check-in ahead of the other team without announcing the leg being an elimination leg?
I read at Wikipedia once that the team who checked in earlier at the previous pit stop would be able to check in ahead of the team they're up against if it's a tie. This is Wikipedia though, which means the source is unreliable, :funny: but I do think that this scenario can be possible too. ???
Another way I can think of is a coin toss.
Since we've never encountered this scenario, we can also assume and speculate. :)

Regardless if there is handholding, it will be clear to the cameras who steoped first. The cameras tell the story.

That's not just Wikipedia, that was confirmed in a post-race interview by one of the TAR21 teams. I believe it was Abbie & Ryan. Whichever team placed higher on the previous leg is safe.
