Notes [1] [2] [3][4] [5]
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
ϵ The team used the Express Pass somewhere during the leg
The team used the U-Turn
Recipient of the U-Turn
The team that used the second slot of the "Double U-Turn"
Recipient of a second U-Turn due to the "Double U-Turn" twist

Notes:
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.
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.
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.
4: Tyler & Korey received a 30 minute penalty for following a taxi while driving. Because it didn't affect their placement, it went unaired.[16]
5: Burnie & Ashley knowingly U-Turned Tyler & Korey, who had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it.
