Legend:      The team finished in first place      The team finished in last place and was eliminated from the race      The team finished in last place in a non-elimination leg or continue racing in a no-rest leg      The team that won The Amazing Race      The team that crossed the Finish Line second      The team that crossed the Finish Line third ► The team used the Fast Forward pass > The team used the Yield < Recipient of the Yield ⊂ The team used the U-Turn ⊃ Recipient of the U-Turn ∇ The team that lost the Double Battle
Notes: 1: Gadi & Alona were the last team to arrive at Ben Gurion International Airport, and were eliminated according to the first leg's rules. 2: Tal & Mor initially arrived eighth, but because Tal was unable to complete the Roadblock, the team was issued a one-hour penalty. Bar & Inna and Nitzan & Fifi, the only two teams trailing them at that point, checked in during that period and in Tal & Mor were eliminated. 3: Osnat & Carmit were unable to complete the ice-hockey task, and received a one-hour penalty. 4: Firass & Shira received a one-hour penalty for not completing the Roadblock due to Shira's low blood pressure. 5: Osnat & Carmit were forced to quit the Double-Battle because of Ornat's injury. 6: Osnat & Carmit initially arrived fifth, but received a one-hour penalty for being Marked for Elimination and not finishing first. This did not affect their placement. 7: Anaelle & Akiva took a short penalty of unknown length for refusing to take part in the Buddhist blessing ceremony.
