Production

Development and filming

The Starting Line was at Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.

After the anemic ratings for The Amazing Race 4, CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves doubted whether the series would be renewed for another season.[1] After much deliberation, CBS officially ordered a fifth installment of The Amazing Race in September 2003. Some observers cited the series' recent Emmy win as the factor behind its renewal.[2] While CBS flirted with the idea of a fall premiere, it ultimately gave Season 5 a summer broadcast to create momentum for The Amazing Race 6 on the fall schedule.[3]

This season introduced two major twists to The Amazing Race: the Yield and a non-elimination penalty.[4] The Yield allowed one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. The Yield was available on each leg (except the last two legs), though it was not presented on each episode. The non-elimination penalty meant teams finishing last on non-elimination legs were stripped of any money they had accumulated and received no money at the start of the next leg. This was also the first season to see the number of Fast Forwards reduced; only two were available in the entire season.[5]

The Amazing Race 5 lasted 31–32 days and traveled 72,000 miles (116,000 km), which was the show's longest route yet, covering six continents (that was later matched by The Amazing Race 11 and The Amazing Race Australia v New Zealand) and twelve countries.[6] The teams visited nine countries not previously seen on the show, including Uruguay, Argentina, Russia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, Philippines, and Canada. This is the first time the former Soviet Union and the Middle East were visited on The Amazing Race. Also, for the first time the final leg had an intermediate destination in a foreign country.

During pre-production, the producers moved a Dubai leg from the originally planned location of Istanbul, Turkey. The reason for this decision has not been disclosed. Istanbul was eventually visited on The Amazing Race 7. The producers also moved the Philippine legs from the planned Japan legs, but the nation was eventually visited on The Amazing Race 9.

The Zorb task in Leg 10 was filmed at a New Zealand farm owned by one of Keoghan's friends. Prior to the season, Keoghan had experienced rolling in the Zorb from his friend and insisted it would be a task on the show.[7]

Marshall & Lance were the first team in Amazing Race history to quit following Marshall's knee injury during the Leg 6 Roadblock in Luxor, Egypt. When the team arrived at the final Roadblock site after all the other teams had left, the decision was made to give up rather than complete the frustrating 'needle in a haystack' digging task.

Two challenges were edited out of the program since they did not affect team placement. The first was a nut finding Roadblock in the markets of Dubai, and the second was a tipi building challenge in Banff, Alberta.[8]

The show also featured Miss Uruguay Natalia Rodriguez Lassiy, who competed in Miss World 2003, as a greeter at the Uruguay Pit Stop, and Luli Arroyo, the daughter of then-Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the local greeter at the Manila Pit Stop.[9]

Cast

Brandon and Nicole finished The Amazing Race 5 in third place.

Applications were due on October 8, 2003. Filming began on January 30, 2004 and finished on February 27, 2004.[10]

Following two seasons that featured twelve teams, the contestant pool was reduced to eleven for this season. They included a military man, a dating widowed couple, female twins, a former Big Brother contestant, a team member with dwarfism, and a few beauty pageant queens.

Chip portrayed a young Muhammad Ali in the 1977 film The Greatest.[11]

Erika, Alison, Nicole, and Christie competed against one another in various beauty pageants. Christie was a former Miss Teen USA champion, while Nicole was the winner of Miss Texas USA.

Alison of CBS's Big Brother 4 was the first contestant from a previously aired reality show to take part in The Amazing Race.

Colin & Christie were engaged on CBS's Early Show.[12]

Erika became a producer with the show and was on-hand during the Season 12 open casting call in Cabazon, California. Erika is credited with recruiting the show's first and second all-female winning teams, anesthesiologists Nat & Kat, the winners of Season 17, and sisters Kisha & Jen, who competed on Season 14 before winning Season 18.

Future appearances

Charla & Mirna returned to compete in The Amazing Race All-Stars among a cast of returning teams from seasons 1-10.[13] Colin & Christie were also invited to participate in The Amazing Race All-Stars, but had to decline due to Christie's pregnancy.[14] They later competed on the thirty-first season which aired in 2019.[15]

Alison Irwin later appeared on Big Brother: All Stars and was the first person evicted.[16] In 2005, Chip, Kim, Charla, and Mirna all competed on the Bravo reality series Battle of the Network Reality Stars, along with 28 other individuals from various reality series.[17] Mirna was a member of the winning team.
