The Amazing Race 1 (originally broadcast under the name The Amazing Race) is the first season of the American reality television series The Amazing Race. It was broadcast for the first time on American television on September 5, 2001 and ended its run on December 13, 2001. It featured 11 teams of two, with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world.

Lawyers and best friends, Rob Frisbee and Brennan Swain were the winners of the inaugural Race. The complete first season set, featuring commentary from four of the teams, was released on DVD in September 2005.

Production

Development and filming

The first season of The Amazing Race traveled {{convert|35000|mi|km}} in 39 days, spanning four continents and nine different countries. The season was hit with multiple filming delays, including an airport strike in Rome and a sandstorm in Tunisia, the latter of which forced teams to begin Leg 6 in Gabès, rather than the original Saharan desert Pit Stop.

Other aspects of filming were unique to the first season of the series. Host Phil Keoghan handed out clues at the beginning of some legs and only greeted the last-place team at each Pit Stop; all other teams were greeted and informed of their placements by local representatives. Each leg's Pit Stop mat featured a localized design; subsequent seasons have used a single mat design throughout the entire race.

During Leg 5, Paul & Amie got lost in the Sahara Desert after trying numerous routes; they found the desert oasis Pit Stop by luck, unknowingly skipping the Roadblock and final route marker.

Amazing Race courses were planned so that the final three teams would all reach the finish line. However, Joe & Bill were so far behind that they could not catch up and did not finish the race. When they were still completing Leg 12 (which aired alongside Leg 13 in the final episode), Team Guido was required to have villagers bounce one teammate upwards using an Alaskan tapestry. According to the DVD commentary, the tapestry broke under the weight the day before, so a trampoline had to be used instead.

Cast

{{see also|List of The Amazing Race (U.S. TV series) contestants}}

Eleven teams participated in the first season of The Amazing Race, ranging from best friends to couples, as well as a mother and daughter duo. Kevin & Drew made an appearance in Season 8, handing out clues from a hot dog stand in New York City. They also returned, along with Joe & Bill, to participate in the All-Stars edition among a cast of returning teams from seasons 1-10. Runner up Frank Mesa made an appearance at the starting line of season 25. Winners Rob & Brennan made an appearance at the starting line of Season 27.

Margaretta Groark died on October 26, 2008, after a long battle with cancer, at the age of 67.[1] Nancy Hoyt died on December 8, 2011, after a long battle with ALS, at the age of 56.[2]

Ratings

Season 1 was not particularly a ratings success; the series premiered six days prior to the September 11 attacks, after which interest in foreign travel waned and viewership fell correspondingly. The show was further hindered by the lack of media coverage and promotion as networks focused on news stories and more patriotic programming. Additionally, the show premiered and competed in the same time slot as with NBC's short-lived Lost, another reality show with a similar premise.[3] The show did just well enough to earn a second season, which aired the following spring.

Results

The race's very first Fast Forward required teams to hike down a steep canyon to the Boiling Pot on the Zambezi River. For the series' very first Detour at Batoka Gorge, teams had a choice between Air or Land. In Air, teams had to take a quick trip along a zipline across the gorge and then experience a {{convert|54|m|ft}} gorge swing to reach the bottom and receive their next clue. In Land, teams had to take a long hike down the rim of the gorge to receive the next clue.

However, it went unaired and it became available as a bonus feature on the DVD.

Additional tasks
  • At the starting line, teams were informed by host Phil Keoghan of some basic rules and were given the first clue which instructed teams fly to Johannesburg, South Africa on one of three flights: the first was a direct flight to Johannesburg, which would arrive first with seats for five teams, the second flight connected in Zurich and would arrive second with two teams, and the third flight connected in Milan and would arrive last with four teams.
  • At Lanseria Airport, teams had to find Ryan Blake Air to take a charter flight to Livingstone, Zambia.

In Far, teams had to go to Chobe National Park in the nearby nation of Botswana {{convert|110|km|mi}} away and photograph a single elephant.

This was the Race's very first aired Roadblock, saying "This task requires strong legs and keen eyes." For this Roadblock, one team member had to take the stairway up to the second level of the Eiffel Tower and use a ₣10 coin to operate a telescope to search the city skyline for a famous monument with a race flag on top that would serve as the Pit Stop; the Arc de Triomphe.

Additional tasks
  • At the start of the leg, teams had to find the Songwe Museum near the village. At the museum teams would find cameras along with their next clue.
  • After the Detour, teams had to travel to Mukuni Village. Once there, they had to take part in a traditional welcome ceremony for honored guests, which included meeting the village chief (who would spit on them) as well as viewing and participating in a tribal dance.

In Tough Climb, teams must travel to Notre Dame de Paris and had to climb up the 297 steps of the cathedral and ring Quasimodo's bell to receive their next clue. In Easy Walk, teams had to locate a statue of a cat sitting beside Foucault pendulum. What they do not know is that there are two Foucault pendulums in Paris, but only the one at the Panthéon has the statue. The other pendulum at the Museum of Arts and Crafts does not. In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to walk underground through the sewers of Paris to the Place du Châtelet, two blocks away.

Additional tasks
  • At the start of the leg, teams were informed to travel to the nearby Roue de Paris, known as La Grande Roue "The Big Wheel" to find the next clue.
  • After the Detour, teams had to find a man in a blue suit across from the Hôtel de Ville to find the next clue.
  • After the Roadblock, teams must travel by train to Les Baux de Provence through either Avignon or Marseille to find the Château des Baux, the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race.

Airdate: October 3, 2001

  • {{TAR travel|ferry}} Marseille (Marseille Ferry Port) to Tunis, Tunisia {{flagicon|TUN}} (La Goulette)

In Full Body Brew, teams had to find Café Mouche inside the Medina of Tunis marketplace using only a picture for reference. Once there, they must order two coffees to get their next clue. In Full Body Massage, teams had to search for a massage parlor marked on a provided map. Once there, they had to sit through a 20-minute massage before they received the next clue. There was also an unused Fast Forward, in an unaired segment, where the teams were told to go fishing on board the Kinsa in the port of Sidi Bou Said.[4]

In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to light a torch and, with some basic instructions, navigate the ancient arena to find the pit of death. Then, they had to retrieve a sword dangling above the pit, find a way out of the maze of tunnels, then bring it to the Pit Stop, where they must slide the sword into the sheath to finish the leg.

Additional tasks
  • At the start of the leg, teams were told to travel to Marseille Ferry Port, where they had to travel by boat from Marseille to a smaller version of the Arc de Triomphe in the country represented by a small unidentified flag. Teams had to figure out that flag was the Tunisian flag, and they had to travel to the capital city of Tunis. Once in Tunis, they had to find the man depicted in a provided photograph near Bab el Bhar (which bears strong resemblance to Paris' Arc de Triomphe) and say a traditional greeting of "As Salaami" to receive the next clue.

The leg's Detour is a choice between Listening or Puzzling. In both options, teams must take a marked truck to their next destination in southern Tunisia and they must pay the driver with {{USD|50}}, who cannot provide directions. In Listening, teams had to find the well-known Star Wars movie set Ksar Hadada and use supplied walkie talkie and their sense of hearing to locate the radio's counterpart, hidden somewhere in the labyrinth of caves. In Puzzling, teams had to find Ksar Ouled Soltane and solve a simple Tunisian dice game at the hard-to-find castle. There was Fast Forward in this leg, in an unaired segment, requiring a team had to use a map that had an arrow pointing to a location to find a cave and take a picture of something inside.[5]

For this Roadblock, one team member rode a camel, with the help of a camel handler, and used a set of compass directions to reach the flag visible in the distance, somewhere in the middle of the desert. The non-participating member must make the trek on foot. Once they reached the route marker, teams had to use a new set of compass directions to the next Pit Stop, the Ksar Ghilane oasis.

Additional tasks
  • At the start of the leg, teams received an enclosed photograph of a Globe monument and instructions to find Tataouine for their next clue.

The leg's Detour was a choice between Foot or Hoof. In Foot, teams had to find a large, well-known statue of a foot at Palazzo dei Conservatori, using a provided picture that contained the entire statue. In Hoof, teams were given a partial picture of another, more obscure statue. The statue was a mounted horse at Altare della Patria, but teams only received a picture of its hoof. However, if teams completed this task, they would find a line of taxis waiting for them.

There was a Fast Forward, which went unused and was unaired, saying that "This is a key that you can see the arms of St. Peter", as said by Team Guido in the DVD commentary. It refers to a keyhole on a door in Magistral Villa that, when looked through, provided a view of the entire Vatican City.[4] In this Roadblock, one team member had to drive a Smart car to the town square of Sant'Agata Bolognese, the leg's Pit Stop, using a map written entirely in Italian. The other team member received a free ride to the Pit Stop in a Pagani Zonda traveling at 180 miles/per hour.

Additional info
  • During the Pit Stop, word of a sandstorm in the Sahara forced the teams to move to Gabès to start the leg for safety. At the start of the leg, the teams traveled to the Palace Hotel in Tunis for their next clue.

The Fast Forward required one team to travel to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and play a traditional Buddhist Game that used the 108 urns alongside the giant reclining Buddha. They had to choose a bowl of coins and drop exactly one coin in every urn. If the bowl they chose had too little or too many, they had to choose another bowl to play again. The first team to find the bowl with exactly 108 coins would win the Fast Forward.

In Climb, teams had to take an arduous rock climb straight up Thaiwand Wall to find their next clue. There was a Fast Forward in this leg, in an unaired segment, the team had to climb 1,200 steps at Wat Tum Sua (Tiger Cave Temple) to get the pass.[6]

In this Roadblock, one team member had to paddle a kayak with their team member and all their luggage down the river in search of a route marker flag. Once the flag was spotted, the team would climb into a nearby cave, Tham Hua Kalok, to get the next clue along with snorkeling gear.

Additional tasks
  • At the start of the leg, teams were told to find "The King" at Railay Beach, which actually meant the King's Climbing rock-climbing company, where they received special rock climbing gear, and then hiked half a mile through tropical jungle to reach Thaiwand Wall and their next clue.
