Notable race events

In-Race

• Blake and Paige's jeep broke down during Leg 2 causing them to finish last. It was rumored that Blake threatened to sue the production for not providing a time credit, since the rules never fully explained the arrangements in the event of a vehicle failure, which resulted in CBS's lawyers stepping in and awarding Blake and Paige with a time credit, thus eliminating Hope and Norm. In law a lawsuit is a civil action brought before a Court in which the party commencing the action the Plaintiff, seeks a legal or equitable remedy However, Cyndi (of Russell and Cyndi) posted on the Television Without Pity forums that Blake and Paige did arrive before Hope and Norm and no time credit was awarded. But there was confusion about the vehicle replacement rules at the time.

• No Detour clue was shown in Leg 13. As no team is shown onscreen reading the Snow Cat instructions at Trapper's Creek, it is speculated that all teams simply chose the same Detour option here, and the other choice was edited out. [1]
