Amazing Race Questions

--- Quote from: Lmh1988 on May 09, 2019, 12:48:36 PM ---This may have been asked already somewhere but I couldn't find it...are the clues printed right before each leg? I've been rewatching some of the seasons and noticed on some Roadblocks, it would specify by name which person needed to do it, so I assumed printing the clues right before each leg would be the only possible way they would know that?

The production certainly has the means to do so. One reason is to deal with last minute changes within a leg, or a change of a leg and all tasks for a replacement leg.
RachelLeVega:
This makes me wonder, how many replacement legs do Race productions come up with for each season? Is there only a couple backups or..... do they make a completely alternate "race" on hand and pick up countries from that shortlist once deemed necessary?
:o This thought never crossed my mind until now.
Malcooolm:
My best guess would be that they have a backup leg or two ready for each continent that would be at the difficulty level that the race would be at during that point
theschnauzers:
From what I recall over the years, tTPTB have a number of alternative legs prepared if there’s an issue in filming at any point. More than just a couple. The Racers get a hint of options for countries where visas have to be issued in advance so those are in Racers’ passport. Sometimes TPTB have to apply for visas during filming which may cause a delay, but that’s uncommon
georgiapeach:
They also do visas for places they know they aren't going to confuse the racers
