- For the Intersection where teams battle against each other as seen in The Amazing Race en Discovery Channel 2 and The Amazing Race Norge 2, see Double Battle.
The Intersection requires each team to pair up with one other team and perform all tasks and make decisions together until further notice.
Carol & Brandy are Intersected with Dan & Jordan in The Amazing Race 16.
The Intersection was first properly introduced in The Amazing Race 10. Should there be no other teams present when a given team arrives at the Intersection, they must wait until another team arrives, although they do not have to partner with that team and can opt to wait for another team instead. If multiple teams are present, teams are free to choose which other team they would like to pair up with.
Fast Forward Option[]
In two occasions that it has been present on The Amazing Race (US), the Intersection has also included a Fast Forward, which can be claimed by one full group of two teams working together. Furthermore, teams that claim a Fast Forward during an Intersection are free to claim a non-Intersected Fast Forward if one is available after that point.
Variations[]
Multiple Teams Intersected[]
A precursor to the Intersection was first seen in The Amazing Race 6. Instead of two teams, five teams were required to work together to perform a task. A similar instance occurred in The Amazing Race Australia 5, where four teams were required to work together to perform a task.
Intersection with Double Battle[]
In The Amazing Race 2 (China), a special leg was run in which the four remaining teams were Intersected into two groups, with the two groups then competing in a series of Face-Offs, dubbed the Intersection with Integration Versus. The Intersected team that won the most Face-Offs would be awarded a joint first place finish, while the losing Intersected team would compete against each other in one last Face-Off to determine which team would be eliminated.
A similar twist occurred in The Amazing Race China 3. However, instead of competing in a series of Face-Offs, the Intersected teams only competed in one Face-Off. The losing Intersected team would then receive a time penalty before they could continue racing.
