I think it's just like quitting a detour. 4 hours.

4 hours for quitting roadblocks, 6 hours for quitting detours. I'm not sure when the penalty for quitting roadblocks dropped from 24 hours to 6 hours. Anyone know? Also, does anyone know how long the penalty is for quitting normal tasks? In China Rush it's 2 hours, but I don't know if anyone's actually quit a task in the American version.

Maria & Tiffany got 2-hours in the Season 15 because two of their tourists got kidnapped by the Japanese Mafia lost in their hunt for the pit stop, and it was a non-elimination leg.

Yup! Season 5. Marshall and Lance. One of them got a bad knee and cannot keep going on. I think. It was in Cairo, Egypt.

Got it. Thanks!

apskip:
Not quite. It was across the Nile River from Karnak in southern Egypt. Marshall and Lance were actually destined for last place and elimination long before Marshall's knees gave out. I remember that Phil actually came to the "digging in the sand" ROADBLOCK site to eliminate them.

theschnauzers:
We don't know that they were destined for last place but for the injury; my recollection was that the knee injury was hampering them the entire leg, and it was at the roadblock they had to quit because the one who was injured couldn't do the task any longer (and I suspect medical said he had to quit because continuing would have made the injury more serious. But Phil did go to the Roadblock to eliminate them.

Ouagadougou:

hi...


Did you remember Andre and Damon from from Amazing Race 3? they were one of the competitors for the million dollar prize...

But they eventually eliminated in the race.... due to some critical mistakes... during the 7th leg... from morocco to germany.. then they were lost when they headed to austria...
