Amazing Race Questions
Dom:
In the early seasons, we'd frequently see teams exiting the airport at different times, preaumably as they cleared the customs line. But in more recent seasons, we see a mad dash to the taxi ranks with all teams. Does this mean that production actually holds up the teams until everyone has cleared customs?
theschnauzers:
I think we see the dash only when all teams are on the same flight (which happens most of the time these days.) Otherwise, we're more likely not to see teams leaving customs, but elsewhere in airports looking for taxis or self-drive vehicles.

But even if all teams are on the same flight, clearing customs can take a very long time, so when we see all teams dashing at the same time, they can't all have got their passport stamps at exacty the same time can they?
theschnauzers:
Production holds them back until all the teams are cleared. It may also be due to the need for the crews to also clear customs with their equipment, so in order to avoid penalizing a team, and complicating time credits, it becomes simpler to just hold everyone until all the teams and crews have cleared.

Ah i see, so I wonder why they still ask for seats at the front?
Also I dont think they did the airport bunching in earlier seasons. In 1 episode of s6 we see Gus and Hera searching the car park for a good few minutes before the another team leaves the building!
