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      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 Yield < Recipient of the Yield
Notes: 1: In Leg 3, all teams except Carlos & Eduardo (who took the Fast Forward) completed the Roadblock together and were assessed a 30-minute penalty. Therefore, that Roadblock is not counted in this tally. 2: Jorge & Sílvia and Milene & Jaqueline arrived at the Pit Stop 4th and 5th respectively, but both teams took an illegal shortcut by driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street. They left in 5th and 6th place respectively at the beginning of Leg 6 after they were assessed a 25-minute penalty. 3: Andréa & Luciana and their film crew were robbed at gunpoint during the leg. By the time the film crew recovered their belongings and were allowed to continue racing, they dropped to last place. 4: Andréa & Luciana initially arrived 5th, but were issued a 30-minute penalty because they were "marked for elimination" and did not arrive 1st. Patrícia & Sane checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 6th. 5: Sane, Jonatas, Maristela and Débora were unable to complete the roadblock task at leg 10; their teams were all issued 3-hour penalties at the Roadblock site. 6: Débora & Daniela had been "marked for elimination". However, since they arrived last, they were eliminated without being assessed the 30-minute penalty. 7: Jorge & Sílvia arrived 3rd, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for being "marked for elimination" and not arriving 1st. During this time, Jonatas & Rafael - the only team trailing Jorge & Silvia at that point - checked in during their penalty time and were eliminated before the 30 minutes elapsed. 8: During the first task in the final leg, Perri & Maristela were disqualified for quitting.
