<small>'''Notes:'''
{{note|1}} Sheri & Cole initially arrived 6th, but were issued a penalty because Cole grabbed four ''mochilas'' of two matching pairs. The clue stated only three pairs of mochilas. However, this did not affect their placement, thus it was unaired.
{{Note|2}} Leg 6 had no mandatory rest period between legs, and all teams were ordered to continue racing. The team who checked in last on this leg did not face a [[Speed Bump]] in the next leg.
{{note|3}} Brodie & Kurt used their Express Pass to bypass the Roadblock on Leg 8. Before using the Express Pass, Brodie chose to perform the Roadblock; this is reflected in the total Roadblock count.
{{note|4}} Tyler & Korey received a 30 minute penalty for following a taxi while driving. Because it didn't affect their placement, it went unaired.<ref>https://youtu.be/J0FdXFmaoAU?t=54m40s</ref>
{{note|5}} Burnie & Ashley knowingly U-Turned Tyler & Korey, who had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it.
