Production and filming

Development

The 27th season of The Amazing Race started filming on June 22, 2015, at picturesque Venice Beach in Los Angeles.

As was done with The Amazing Race 25, the show's Twitter page announced this seasons filming on June 22, 2015 at Venice Beach in Los Angeles with an open start, and invited fans to join them as they saw the new teams off. The open start revealed teams would be heading to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1][4]

This season covered 34,000 miles (55,000 km) within five continents and ten countries including visits to Argentina, Zambia, France, the Netherlands, Poland, India, and the Chinese Special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, with a first time visit to Zimbabwe as well.[5]

During the Speed Bump in leg nine, Tanner and Josh both had to do the roadblock one after the other. This marked the first time since the introduction of the Speed Bump wherein no Speed Bump boards exist throughout the race course. This was also the first time since the introduction of the U-Turn wherein 3 U-turns are used unlike the usual 2 U-turns per race. This was done before in HaMerotz LaMillion, the Israeli version of the Race. Furthermore, this was the first time since the introduction of the Double U-turn wherein an ordinary U-turn is in the race course. This was also the first time that the U-turn board is placed at the Detour decision point, before the Detour itself.

Although Fitbit and Travelocity continued sponsoring the show, Ford discontinued sponsoring the season. This was therefore the first American edition, or any International version with no production-provided vehicles to be driven by the racers themselves since its inception in 2001.

New episodes had the intro shortened despite the use of commercials.

Casting

The cast include TMZ staff Kelly Berning (editor) and Shevonne Sullivan (post production supervisor), reporters Kelsey Gerckens and Joey Buttitta from KEYT-TV, former New York Jets cheerleaders Tiffany Chantell Torres and Krista DeBono, and former America's Best Dance Crew contestants Ernest "E-Knock" Phillips and Jayjion "Jin Lao" Greer.[4][6][7] Justin Scheman and Diana Bishop are known for their viral "Amazing Race" proposal video.[8]

After the race, winners Kelsey and Joey got engaged.[9]

  1. ^ Kelly & Shevonne completed the Detour after 3 hours and 45 minutes. However, they never made it to the Pit Stop. Instead, Phil went to Copacabana Beach to inform them that all the other teams had already checked in at the Pit Stop and they were eliminated from the race.
  2. ^ Denise & James Earl initially arrived 5th, but were issued a 30-minute penalty after Denise verbally helped her son during the Roadblock. Logan & Chris checked in during the penalty period, dropping Denise & James Earl to 6th.
  3. ^ Tanner & Josh used their Express Pass to bypass the Roadblock on Leg 4. Josh revealed that he elected to perform the Roadblock; this is reflected in the total Roadblock count.[10] When Tanner & Josh arrived 2nd at the Pit Stop, Phil ordered all teams to continue racing and they were required to give the Express Pass to another team on the next leg of the race. They had to hand it to Phil immediately at the Pit Stop and tell him which team should have it.
  4. ^ Tiffany & Krista used their U-Turn on Justin & Diana, but because Justin & Diana had already passed the U-Turn they were unaffected.
  5. ^ Denise & James Earl used the Express Pass given to them by Tanner & Josh to bypass the Detour on Leg 5.
  6. ^ For their Speed Bump in Leg 9, Tanner & Josh both had to individually complete the Roadblock. Since Tanner opted to do the roadblock before finding out they both had to do the roadblock, only Tanner's performance is reflected in their total Roadblock count.
  7. ^ Justin & Diana initially arrived 3rd, but were issued a 55-minute penalty (30-minute standard penalty plus 25 minutes for time gained) at the pit stop for taking a ferry from the Kowloon-Macau Ferry Terminal instead of the Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal, as the clue specifically instructed. This did not affect their final placement.
