- For the previous season with the same subtitle, see The Amazing Race: All-Stars (2007).
The Amazing Race: All-Stars (2014) is the twenty-fourth installment of the reality television series, The Amazing Race. The series was renewed on March 27, 2013 for the 2013–14 TV season. This is the second season to have All-Stars subtitle (The Amazing Race 11 was the first) and the third to feature racers from different previous seasons. This season premiered on February 23, 2014.
Production[]
The 24th edition was decided to be another returnee season featuring eleven returning teams from past seasons featuring teams from The Amazing Race 14 onwards, including seven contestants competing for the third time. The season's introduction bumper did not include the intro caps for all the teams in every episode as previous seasons did.
However, several returning teams were originally selected to compete once again:
- Brook & Claire from The Amazing Race 17 – declined due to work comments
- Amani & Marcus from The Amazing Race 19 – declined due to work comments[1]
- Art & JJ from The Amazing Race 20 – were cut a few days before filming[2]
- Tim & Marie from The Amazing Race 23 – declined due to the latter's invitation[3]
Filming began on November 16, 2013, however, it was marred by several production issues. The Amazing Race 20 contestant Bopper Minton began showing signs of pancreatitis before arriving in Los Angeles for filming and was deemed unfit to compete by the production's medical team upon arrival. To make the last minute adjustment, Mallory Ervin, who previously competed in The Amazing Race 17 and The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business with her father, Gary, was invited to be Bopper's replacement. Bopper and his The Amazing Race 20 teammate, Mark Jackson, were advertised as a team, with Bopper's replacement and Mark & Mallory's formation as a team intended to be aired as a surprise twist. However, this was leaked well before the premiere.
The season traveled through three continents, eight countries, and 22 cities, spanning a distance of 23,000 miles (37,000 km), it concluded on December 6, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
